Movies Reviews
Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
Having never seen Carlin’s standup routine before, I understand …
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (movie)
I generally like watching Justice League movies, so when I heard of the Flashpoint Paradox, I couldn’t wait to find the time to actually sit down and watch it. I didn’t even read up on the plot of it either, I just decided to leave everything to surprise this …
Transformers Animated Series - Swoop Action Figure
The Swoop action figure from the Transformers Animated Series line of toys is pretty cool but has a few negatives as well. I recently purchased him at Walmart for $11.99. As Transformers fans will know, he is one of the Dinobots - robots that transform into dinosaurs. …
The Giver (science fiction movie)
I actually saw the trailer for the movie “The Giver” by accident, but somehow I forgot about it, because a few other things that were released around the same period of time seemed to overshadow it. However, by the time that it got on Blu-ray, I remembered enough about it …
Devil in the Flesh
I have heard of the movie Devil in the Flesh before. But, I didn’t get a chance to watch it until yesterday, when it was on one of our movie channels.
It was an OK movie but I have to admit, I was expecting it to be better.
Rose McGowan does …
Coyote Ugly (2000)
Female bartenders are the order of the day when you get yourself in gear to sit down and watch this movie. To enjoy it is just like the beverages that are served, it is an acquired taste and with this movie, it is best to watch it multiple times …
I Can Do Bad All By Myself film (2009)
I Can Do Bad All By Myself is another one of my favorite films from the director Tyler Perry. In my honest opinion I feel like this one of his best pieces compared to some of his recent work. I also call this one a classic because it’s well …
The Mist movie
I received The Mist from blockbuster about two days ago. I watched it thinking it was going to be a pretty good movie. I usually like Stephen King’s stories but this one I didn’t. I didn’t like the movie at all. It was not scary. It was gory and …
I am Number Four (movie)
While I still can’t recall why exactly this was the case, I found that I wasn’t very interested in watching the movie “I am Number Four” when it was about to be released. I had watched the trailer and just wasn’t very impressed by what I had seen to …
Cleaner (2007)
Cleaner the movie is running short than 2 hours but I think it is not that bad of a movie. This is about a crime story and at first when my sister brought this DVD movie home, I thought it’s another funny comedy flick or something. But once …
Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is a movie that is highly recommmended by on eof my friend, so I rented a DVD and watched it yesterday. It was one of thoise movies that makes you think a lot about life after you have finished watching it.
A simple story line of a …
Movie Ghost
I am a Demi Moore fan and this is one of her movies that I really love. I love how the story was made because it shows about true love and its really romantic one with a little twist of comedy. I enjoyed watching it since most of the …
Day after Tomorrow
I could watch this movie anytime, any day. I thought it was a brilliant movie. It’s probably one of my favorite movies. It really did keep me very entertained and interested in the movie. Possibly the most entertained in a movie ever. Dennis Quad, Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, all …
The movie Toy Story 2
I was relatively young when the original Toy Story came out. However I was old enough to know that I loved it. Needless to say that when Toy Story 2 came out a few years later I was more than excited.
The movie did not let me down either. I …
Gandhi (1982)
I really admired the movie Gandhi (1982) directed by Richard Attenborough. From the boring history books that I read from high school and from classroom discussions that did not give me as much information as I need, the personality that I had been curious about finally came to …
“Easy A” (2010 Film)
The 2010 comedy, “Easy A” was a teenage centered comedy that reflected some of the problems seen in the “Scarlet Letter”. While some of the problems faced by the chatacters in this film are very exagerated, the principle and message behind them are none the less impacting.
Emma Stone (from …
Furious 7 (action adventure movie)
It took me a long time to watch the movie Furious 7 because I figured that it would be too depressing to watch. This was especially after hearing stories about how scores of people cried in the theatre in the end.
After seeing it myself though I realised I was …
Meet Dave
The movie “Meet Dave” represents an attempt from the actor, Eddie Murphy in showing that he can do something different and, at the same time, be successful. Although Murphy tried to link the comic world with the fantasy world in one movie, unfortunately he failed miserably to win over …
Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? movie
Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? from 1978 is a movie that I really didn’t expect to tolerate, let alone enjoy. I say only because when it started, I could tell that it was British and the opening bit wasn’t my style. I groaned in …
Death Race (2008 version)
Fast, furious and deadly these are the best words that describe the movie “Death Race” with Jason Statham in a very different role when compared to “Transporter” movies. This film is a remake of the 1975 movie “Death Race 2000″ which had the actors, David Carradine and …
The Dark Half,movie
The Dark Half, starring Timothy Hutton, was released in the early 1990’s. It is a very poor attempt at a suspense/horror movie. The action is very slow, and character development is lacking.
This movie is based on a fairly good novel by Stephen King. As with most movies made from …
Movie: The Wolfman (1941)
Synopsis: Larry Talbot returns to England after his older brother’s untimely death. While visiting some Gypsie fortune tellers, he is bitten by a wearwolf and suddenly has to cope with being one himself.

The Resident Patient
I am reviewing The Resident Patient, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced by Granada television in 1983. This episode finds Holmes hired by a very young physician, recently hired by a man to look after his personal health. …
Jack Black
OK, I know I should like Jack Black. But, I just can�t seem to find any respect for him.
The problem I have is he�s one dimensional. He can�t do drama or action. It has to be comedy. Even when he tries to be serious, you can�t help but think …
It Might Get Loud Doocumentary
“It Might Get Loud” is a rockumentary about the history of electric guitar divided in three eras, from the perspective of three
influential Rock’n’Roll guitarists. Namely Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White.
Directors Dave Guggenheim and Jimmy Page drive us into the lifes and backgrounds of the three artists’ relationships …
Cinderella, Movie (2015)
Many versions of the classic tale of Cinderella have been made and all follow the same storyline with little variation. ‘Cinderella’ (2015), is no exception, however with compelling characters and stunning visuals, I find myself enchanted by the movie. Although I was watching the same story that I’ve seen many …

The Gift - Psychological Thriller Movie (2015)
I watched the movie, The Gift, because of its interesting trailer and it seemed to be on the cusp of horror (I’m a big fan of horror). I didn’t expect to be extremely impressed by the movie but nearly two hours later, I was definitely satisfied. The Gift is more …
View from the Top (2003)
Director: Bruno Barreto. Featuring: Christina Applegate, Candice Bergen and Gwyneth Paltrow.
This is a cute little story enjoyable to watch and easy on the eyes. Yet if your time is really precious, save it for something else.
It tells the story of a young woman named Donns (Paltrow) from a …
Movie The Descent
Normally, if a horror movie is made in Britain, I find myself bored very quickly. But, I have to admit the film The Descent was actually pretty decent.
I’m still not sure about the premise, a group of women bonding by exploring an unexplored cave. But, I have to admit, …
50 First Dates
This is a fun yet predictable movie starring Adma Sandler (enough said on what kind of movie to expect) basically the story goes like this. Adam Sandler plays the part of an average dude who lives in Hawaii and falls for a blonde (Drew Barrymore) which he met in …
Wall-E Movie Bluray
I am doing a review of the movie Wall-E in Bluray format.
Here are just a few things that I really loved about this movie that I think make it worth getting:
First off is the cool visual effects that they did for the ships rocketing off, ect. I believe that …
BBC miniseries
This is one of those splendid BBC adaptations that is almost as good as the original novel. The novel in this case is a work by Anthony Trollope, who is one of my favorite novelists, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed in this movie.
The story is about a wealthy young …
That Thing You Do movie
Tom Hanks wrote and directed That Thing You Do as well as having a minor role in the production. It’s a great movie, with some neat memories intertwined. The story is about a small town band that finds national, teen-idol success, forever changing their lives and their …
The Transporter Refueled (2015) movie
What a disappointment! Over the weekend hubby and I decided to binge watch some movies that were on our “to see” list. One of these movies was The Transporter Refueled movie, the newest of the Transporter series. We’ve seen all of the other Transporter movies and we loved each one …

LV (stands for “Little Voice”) is a young woman who obviously suffers from social phobia. She is so shy, especially of strangers, that she hardly ever speaks. Her father is dead, and her mother acts like a teenager who has just discovered flirting and sex: that’s all she does, …
The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2010)
—žBoondock Saints II: All Saints Day” is the long awaited sequel to the highly popular movie —žThe Boondock Saints”. The main cast remained unchanged, which is usually the good sign. Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery return as brothers MacManus, also known as the Saints of Boston. The movie …

District 9 (2009), Neill Blomkamp
I caught a few trailers for this, but otherwise managed to miss the hype - and so was not entirely sure what to expect.
I was very pleasantly surprised, because it was so utterly unexpected.
The first few minutes were quite surreal. In a documentary style, we are told that the …
Cloverfield movie
I don’t know why I even bothered to watch this movie, but it was an utter waste of my time. The plot which was about a monster attacking New York City is nothing new. It was a bad mix of Godzilla and King Kong with the lizard-like creature (a …
Unthinkable movie
I was extremely skeptical, at first, about watching this movie. I am definitely one of those people that if something on t.v. or at the theater doesn’t catch my attention in the first ten or so minutes, it usually doesn’t manage to keep my attention to the end. And …
27 Dresses
I recently rented 27 Dresses from a DVD redbox. I had been excited to see it because it seemed to be fairly well-liked on a bridal message board I visit. Before going into any detail, I must say that this rental was definitely worth the $1 for …

South Pacific movie
South Pacific is a classic 1959 musical that began as a stage play and which has been redone over the years. It’s a marvelous motion picture with outstanding cinematography, sensational musical numbers, and some superb acting. Let me say up front that this review includes a key …
Happy Feet movie
I did not see the movie Happy Feet in the theatre, but my daughter recently received it for her birthday. My kids, ages 7 and 8, enjoyed it but it did not hold their attention and I doubt they will be wanting to watch it a second time. …
The Lakehouse (2006) Movie
Life is only travelled once. Today’s moments may be tomorrow’s memories. The movie Lakehouse depicts the story of two people who fell in love through a time difference of two years– a past and a future. Alex (Keannu Reeves) and Kate (Sandra Bullock) proved to the world that …
Dolores Clairbourne
I watched the movie “Dolores Clairbourne” for the second time recently with my brother. I watched it because it was based on the novel by the popular horror and thriller writer Stephen King who is one of my favourite authors, and even though I didn’t know what the movie …
Great Mouse Detective
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, and so I emensely enjoyed this movie. If you’re a Sherlock fan, you have to check this cute film out. Once again, Disney focuses its main characters on mice. A …
