Redbox is a pretty cool concept. It’s a big red vending machine that sits outside of many McDonalds locations.
The vending machine has a touch screen that has three choices; ‘Rent a movie’, ‘Return a movie’ and ‘Buy a movie’.
Right from the vending machine you can rent up to five …

The Siege (1998) movie
This was part two of the dvd two pack that my dad recently purchased so I decided to watch this one too. He said he had seen it before and that he enjoyed it so that sounded good enough for me to check it out.
The plot of this …

Dead Like Me: The Ledger has a bit of a change for Roxy, who leaves behind the world of meter maids and joins the police force. It’ll be interesting to see how this goes in the future, but the first thing I noticed about it was that she …
Movie Notting Hill
Notting Hill is an all time remembered British romantic comedy, which is loved by all. I don’t think anyone would say they hated the movie, I fell in love with the characters and so did everyone.

Rhapsody in August movie
One of the master Kurosawa’s last films, which he completed in a time when he perhaps was a little to aged to perform at his best. Still I really like this tragic story about an old woman who takes care of her grandchildren when their parents travel abroad for …
Feature film “The Switch”
I am only sort of a romantic comedy fan. You can usually predict what will happen in the end and that bores the heck out of me. I did see the ending coming, it was predictable and trite, but the movie was still ok. Jennifer …
The Battle of Gettysburg movie short
Directed by Herman Hoffman, The Battle of Gettysburg was a movie short from 1955 that took viewers through the bulk of this long battle between the North and South in the Civil War.
Shows like this feel me with awe, and sometimes I cry just because the emotion of it …

The Haunting of Molly Hartley
When my wife rented the movie “The Haunting of Molly Hartley” I wasn’t sure what to expect from it. On one hand, we’ve rented other thrillers in the past and have been very disappointed in them. On the other, the description of the movie looked someone compelling.
As it turns …
Alien 1979 Movie
I’m not a fan of horror films. I get scared far too easily. So, when I was a child, I liked scary movies even less. Movies likes Jaws, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elms Street were at the top of my list of movies that flipped me out. …
Wonder Woman (2009 Animation Film)
Besides Batman, Wonder Woman is my favorite superhero from DC comics. There are so many variations, of the character, but I never grow tired of them. Which is how I came to watch the Wonder woman animated film. I was eager to see this take on this animated version of …
Prometheus movie
The most anticipated film for nearly a year, and what did we get?

Inkheart
Whenever I watch a movie starring the ever talented Brendan Fraser, I would swoon. That’s because he is such a talented actor and his acting is so magical each time. The roles that he played are all the right kind of mix for him. From the anthology …

Ice Age: Continental Drift movie
To be perfectly honest, I was not expecting the fourth Ice Age movie to be any good at all. The movie actually pleasantly surprised me by exceeding my expectations. Needless to say, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Scrat are just as funny as they were the first three times.
The …
Bugs Bunny 1001 Rabbit Tales
I keep loading older Looney Tunes cartoons on our Netflix player for our daughter to watch after school and on weekends. One of the ones I loaded recently was Bug Bunny 1001 Rabbit Tales.

Bubble (2005)
I read about “Bubble” on some of the movie forums that I frequent. It seemed to be one of those love it or hate it movies. It also seemed like a movie that didn’t have a huge budget, almost no special effects and an improv-style script. Against my better …
Raiders of the Lost Ark
We need more movies like this one, to keep the past alive. Not history’s past, but cinema’s past. It was George Lucas’ vision to make the Indiana Jones movies be reminiscent of the old movie serials of the 30’s and 40’s. This was a time when a person could …
Major League movie
I am reviewing the movie, Major League, which was released in 1989. Everyone has to know about this movie, so I’ll just briefly give a plot and actors involved in this movie. Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, and Corbin Bernen are just a few of the major actors …

Wedding Crashers (2005 Movie)
This is one of those cute, quirky movies where you know there will be a couple of cheap laughs and a sappy, happy ending. It didn’t disappoint me. I actually found that it was better than I expected it to be - the characters were a bit more real …

Hungry Ghosts (episode, “A Haunting”) DVD
The Discovery Channel has presented a program called “A Haunting,” in which real people present their real-life ghost stories. These stories are very intriguing, and fairly scary - that is, if you believe in that sort of thing. I happen to believe in many elements …
Melancholia (2011 film)
Lars Von Trier is a spectacular film-maker for many reasons-his meaningful, charismatic, dark and devouring style, but what really makes his movies memorable is the fact how despairing and the amount of negative feelings that Melancholia for instance arouses with me. I am not stating that …
Captain America: Civil War (Superhero Movie)
I began looking forward to seeing the next movie in the Captain America franchise shortly after Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released in 2014. After watching the movie Captain America: Civil War in the theatre recently I’m proud to report that I found it very entertaining.
Captain America: Civil …
Disaster Zone: Volcano in New York (2006) Movie
This is your average film and it doesn’t reach anywhere near the “Volcano” that took place in Los Angeles. There is only one truly scary moment near the beginning of the picture and after that it’s typical drama with no thrills, although there are some dangerous moments near the …
The Runaways (movie)
I would not go as far as saying that I am a fan of the musician Joan Jett, since I still have not heard very many of her songs. However, the few I knew from her were done by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts and not her first band …
The Woman In Black Movie
It is always nice for me to remind myself of the classical English works, especially those who have a slight horror twist. But even better is for the reader, such as myself, to see everything on the screen where the images from the book come to life , and …
The Twilight Zone episode “Memphis” (2003)
I have always been a fan of television show “The Twilight Zone.” The series, which began decades ago was always successful in creeping me out. I was thrilled when producers decided to bring the series back, and cast popular actors in the episodes. The …

What I liked about this movie: I love movies that feature a well-known actor or actress before they were famous; mostly because …
Sweet November
“Sweet November” is definitely not the best movie for Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron; however the magic that they make in this movie is simply incredible. I simply love it, even though it has a different conclusion from what I would have liked and most importantly, even though they …

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016 Superhero Movie)
I remember hearing about the movie “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” a long time when it was just a rumour, and I was very excited to see how it would be translated to screen. However, I lost interest in seeing it when I found out that Ben Affleck was …
Kill Gill
I’ve been disappointed by most of the Simpsons holiday specials lately. But, last night’s Christmas special was pretty decent.
The Simpsons took in a character I’ve always found fascinating, Gill, the sales guy who can’t seem to catch a break. And, I learned a lot about him, including just how …
Pineapple Express movie
Pineapple Express is a great movie. It is extremely funny. I could not stop laughing. I have watched the movie more than 20 times and every time it is just as funny as the first.
