Fair Game movie
A second rate action film with the model Cindy Crawford in the role of a woman who is followed by a seemingly crazy man. This whole film is an excuse for promoting Crawford’s career in my opinion, and that result is, not very unexpected, an embarrassing attempt of something …
Stranger Than Fiction
The movie Stranger Than Fiction had an awesome trailor at the movie theater and seemed so diffrent from most any other movie I had seen. So I rented it on demand yesterday. It was a huge disappointment! The movie is very slow paced and nothing exciting really happens it …
Mr Brooks DVD
I have stated before that we love to watch movies. One of my favorite actors is Kevin Costner. I usually tend to watch movies that contain actors or actresses that appeal to me. So when Rob and I saw this advertisement for Kevin Costner, starring in a …
Movie The Mask
The Mask with Jim Carey and Cameron Diaz.
This bizarre film straddled the line between comedy and science fiction. As in life, I believe that you must choose one direction or style. I feel that this movie took a chance by flip flopping styles; but …

Sharknado 2: The Second One (movie)
I don’t remember seeing Sharknado 2 advertise, but when I saw the trailer for its prequel Sharknado for the very first time I was convinced the entire thing had to be a joke or one of those bad Syfy movies even with all the so-called rave reviews it had …

Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors
One of my favorite films in the Nightmare On Elm Street series is the third installment Dream Warriors. With a talented cast which includes Patricia Arquette, Lawerence Fishbure and Jennifer Rubin and a dynamite premise which acted as if part two never happened, Dream Warriors is one of …
Boy A movie
A favourite in small film festivals, and winner of several awards, the movie Boy A lives up to all the hype. The story is powerful, and the actor who plays the lead role, Andrew Garfield, is brilliant, especially considering this is his first big film. This is one of …
Summer Catch - (starring Jessica Biel and Freddie Prinze Jr.)
I have watched Summer Catch on DVD before starring Jessica Biel and Freddie Prinze Jr. They look so romantic together and I feel that they have a super chemistry together. Too bad they are not together in real life. The ending is a good one and I …
Yuva (movie)

Finally I got to watch the recent movie, “The Bank Job”. I must warn you be prepared to watch a great drama movie. This movie has got nothing to do with “The Bank Job” released last year and directed by Estonian director, Brad Jurjens. This movie is simply great.
I …
Bonsai (2012 film)
Serious readers of literature would recognize Bonsai as the quaint novella from Chile that endeared the author Alejandro Zambra to literary critics in the west and transformed him to an eminent writer in his home turf. I had been an avid reader of Literature in Translation —“ foreign …
The Hitcher (movie)
I honestly think it�s time for me to stop watching horror movies. They just don�t do anything for me any more. The remake of the 80s film The Hitcher proves this.
The problem with The Hitcher is it�s like every other horror film I�ve ever seen. It has two college …

This is a …
Dora’s World Adventure
I’m not normally someone who enjoys sitting through Dora the Explorer Cartoons with my daughter, but I was glad I sat through Dora’s World Adventure last night.
The hour long episode showed Dora traveling to different countries around the world to return stolen friendship bracelets to her friends. Along the …

Yes Man Movie

Black Sheep 2008 Movie
I recently saw the movie Black Sheep and I don’t mean the Chris Farley and David Spade movie from the 1990s, though I’m sure someone will see this one and get confused. This movie is actually yet another horror movie spoof, though this one was better received than a …

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Movie
After the success of Transformers in 2007, I couldn’t wait to see what they would do with the Transformers next. To be honest, I loved and hated Transfromers Revenge of the Fallen. For many different reasons. I did not think that Revenge of the Fallen was as good or …
The Long Weekend

Village of the Damned
It had been ages since I saw the classic movie Village of the Damned. So, when it came on one of the movie channels over the weekend, I had to sit down and watch it again.
Somehow, it wasn’t as scary as I remembered it.
Even though it’s really never explained …
When in Rome movie
When in Rome disappoints big time and the story flow defies logic even if how liberal I try to think. The story is supposed to be a romantic comedy I guess. But at the end, I wonder to remember a single scene in the movie which made me laugh …
Oh Heavenly Dog movie
Oh Heavenly Dog is a charming movie that is surprisingly funny. Chevy Chase stars as a private investigator who gets murdered in the middle of a case. However, as far as Heaven goes, he’s not guaranteed entry. He has to go back to Earth to solve …

Calamity Jane movie
I love Calamity Jane. As a bit time Doris Day fan, this movie has long been a fun time for me. Day is one of Hollywood’s best, able to do drama and comedy. She can be serious and full of angst or crazy and daffy, …
The Hurt Locker movie
It is extremely rare that I sit down to watch a movie, and I am literally engrossed in it so much that I cannot leave my seat for the entire length of the movie. The Hurt Locker is so incredibly intense from the first moment, and the plot, acting …

I have been waiting for Freakazoid to come out on DVD ever since I accidentally taped over a couple of episodes on my home-made VHS set (whoops). Warner Brothers has finally heard the cries of fans and has given us a three-disc set of the first season. The episodes …
Netflix
NetFlix is an awesome way to watch the movies you are interested in. I became a customer several years ago when a girlfriend of mine recommended it. I was at her house, and asked what the red and white envelopes were on her kitchen table. She explained everything about …
WALL-E
When I first saw previews of WALL-E, somehow, I was not intrigued, although I do like most Pixar’s animated movies. But then I had stumbled upon some reviews of this movie online, and they sounded good, so we went and caught WALL-E when it was still playing in theaters.
It …
MJR Marketplace Theater in Sterling Heights Michigan
I recently discovered a better movie theater to take my family to, the MJR Marketplace Cinemas in Sterling Heights. It was built on the same location as the old National Amusements Showcase Cinemas which was torn down a few years ago.
The layout of the theater is excellent, the flow …

Greencine is another company that offers dvd rentals by mail just like blockbuster and netflix. They had a free trial a while back but I don’t know if they still do. The main reason I didn’t care for them is because they didn’t have a lot of movie titles …
