“The Transporter” series is definitely my favourite Jason Statham movie. In an interview, Statham admitted that he got a lot of attention in Hollywood thanks to this movie series and the other, also very popular, “Crank”.

Over the years, I have seen a lot of these types of films, and yet, I think one of the best coming of age movies was the film “Dazed and Confused” which was released in nineteen ninety three. At first, I used to wonder what the name of the …

The first time I saw the trailer for the latest installment of Harry Potter movie, I was ecstatic. Yes, finally!
Well, after I watched the movie, I wasn’t ecstatic anymore, and it wasn’t because I just finished watching the movie. It was the fact that the movie deviated from the …

I have always been a huge fan of vampire movies, but I have to say that Robert Rodriguez’s “From Dusk Till Dawn” is the most bizarre vampire movie I have ever seen. There is a lot of great talent in this movie - including George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette …

What happens if the two thoughts that together ‘fond of’ sadism meets? So a new Horror film that truly interfaces blood. Who is not familiar with Quentin Tarantino? Specialist’s films pleased with the alternative of blood and violence as the menu in the films. How do with Eli Roth? …

When the Prince & Me came out on DVD, I avoided it. But, when it showed up on cable, my wife forced me to watch it. What a cheesy film.
I’m sorry but how many movies can you possibly make about a rich spoiled brat from another country who falls …

In this epic montage film by Pudovkin, the story of mongolian warlord Djenghis Khan is told, or rather, the last days of Djengis Khan. It’s a very complex and sometimes confusing story, but Pudovkin really found and perfected his visual with this work of art. The style these montage …

I had never heard of this British film before, but it stars the new Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, and MacKenzie Crook from The Office fame, so I gave it a go. It’s a new film (2008) but, as with many British films, I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere so …

Hands down, this is the sweetest movie ever. Not some sappy chick flick, but a simple romantic comedy.
Kudos to the one who came up with such a cute idea about making a movie about first love. I mean, there are tons of movies out there about first love, but …

The Butler is one of those movies that I like to call a quiet movie that’s meant for winding down. You don’t turn on this kind of movie, ready for action or something intensely graphic to happen. It’s a movie that tells you a deep rooted story. My review …

“Once” is a good musical movie, but could have been better if the shooting of this movie was more on a steady level. I personally watched this film at home and I am grateful because if I ended up watching it at the cinema, I definitely would have felt …

This is by far one of the most boring and silliest movies I have seen in a long time. I had watched it before it came out on cable television and DVD too, and had the unfortunate luck of having to sit and watch it again as my brother …

It’s a short and simple story chronicling the lives of four survivors in a zombie infested America. Quite a shallow plot, but extremely funny. Its comedic factor is refreshing because it isn’t lewd or too slapstick.
Columbus played by Jesse Eisenberg was funny when he was alone, giving the …

What is this movie about? I can answer that in two words: bar dancing. There is nothing else in it, really. No story to speak of, just a few events to get the main character to work at the bar - and then it is all about girls dancing …

Elisha Cuthbert, Daniel Gillies
MA 15+ Strong violence, blood and gore.
I should have known that this film was going to turn my stomach. I’m not the blood and gore kind of girl but I am a Roland Joffe (director of the Killing Fields) fan.
First let me say that the rating …

I liked the first Librarian movie “Quest for the Spear” so I figured I would give the sequel “Return to King Solomon’s Mines” a try.
It turned out to be an OK movie but it wasn’t as good as the original.
You have the same guy playing the Librarian. Only this …

I am reviewing the movie, The Ninth Gate, which was released in 2000. Johnny Depp stars as Dean Corso, who is a rare book collector. He has been given the assignment to find the remaining copy of “The Nine Gates.” These volumes evidently have the power …

We ended up watching a DVD last night of a movie that originally aired on the Sci Fi Channel last year; Ogre.
When we got the DVD, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It looked like it would be a somewhat crappy movie that would rely heavily on blood and …

Unfortunatley, my girlfriend found it amusing to drag me out to the cinema to see High School Musical 3. While she found it very amusing, and very entertaining, I myself found it to be a load of cobblers. The film itself was very tacky, and seemed like it was …

I am reviewing the Disney movie, Homeward Bound 2, Lost in San Fransisco. This movie is a sequel to Homeward Bound 1, the Incredible Journey. Now, usually sequels are bombs and are completely unsuccessful. I don’t think this is the case here. Homeward Bound 2 was not …
