Walk the Line movie
Prior to watching this movie, I did not know much of anything about Johnny Cash. For me, the big draw to see the movie in the first place were the main characters, Joaquin Phoenix in particular. I was very sad to see him drop out of acting as I …
Haunted Echoes movie 2008
I rented Haunted Echoes because I love a good ghost story, and I noticed that Sean Young starred in it, a favorite actress from Blade Runner in the early 80’s that I don’t think I have seen too often in anything since. She is still lovely. This film was …
Doom (2005)
One of the most hyped movies of 2005, and starring a big cast with the “Rock” Dwayne Johnson and Karl urban, it was based on the very popular video game: Doom. This movie was too dark and dismal to be enjoyed. It started out well, with a good …
Locked Up (NR, 2004) movie
Ohhh boy. I guess I should go ahead and warn you that this movie is a very low-budget yet hardcore German gay film. While not necessarily a pornographic movie, there are some rather explicit scenes, and one in particular that is really jarring to watch, no …
Inside by Dimension Extreme movie
This is definitely a must see movie if you a fan of gruesome horror. This is probably one of the bloodiest and most disturbing movie that I have seen in a long time!
It has a great story behind it. A pregnant woman loses her husband in a …
Deliverance
From the beginning, these four guys would not have an easy time roughing it in the north Georgia woods. These four friends set out for a nice weekend of hunting, but instead become the hunted, and only three of the men would be returning home, one of those three …
Movie Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
Fury of the Wolfman (1973)
The first disappointing Waldemar film of Paul Naschy’s career was the victim of a haphazard production schedule that saw much of the film never actually shot and padded footage from Marca Del Hombre Lobo inserted.
Pretty standard fare has Waldemar bitten by the yeti (!) …
Shawshank Redemption
Shawshank Redemption is a movie set in the 1940’s. I first saw Shawshank Redemption some 10 years ago and it quickly became one of my favorites. I watch it every time that I see it on television and I own the DVD to it. This story has one of …

Rush Hour 2 Movie
This is my favorite rush hour movie amongst all, mainly because it’s more exciting and it features more characters like Zhang Zhiyi and Roselyn Sanchez and this movie is about Carter and Lee vacationing in Hong Kong but has to take a job which includes Alan King and Zhang …
Movie: A Christmas Carol (2009)
Disney’s A Christmas Carol (2009) is a 3-D animation retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel [Rated PG for scary sequences and images].
At the outset I will admit that I have never been a Jim Carrey fan, and my favorite version of Christmas Carol will forever be the …
Winter Passing
Winter Passing was a beautifully made piece depicting the life of a young actress who must come to terms with her father, who has created a pseudo-family around him. While incredibly well-done, the truth is I found it rather depressing. The relationship with her father heals, the discomfort she …
Kung FU Panda
Kung Fu Panda, just opened June 6th at movie theatres all across the nation. Starring Jack Black as the main character, PO. A large panda bear dreaming of being part of the elite team of kung fu trainees.

The Blind Side 2010 Movie
The Blind Side tells the true story of Michael Oher and how he was taken in by the Tuohy family. It shows how he overcame great obstacles to become an athlete and eventually came to play for the Baltimore Ravens.
Since this is a true story, I can spoil …
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (movie)
After I saw the trailer for “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” going to see it in 3D was definitely a no-brainer. The trailer made it seem like it was going to be very exciting with a lot of action event though I was never really a fan of the …
Madea’s Family Reunion
Incorporating the talents of such legends as Dr. Maya Angelou and Cicely Tyson along with the inspirational storyline, Tyler Perry has done it again. If you are not familiar with the extremely popular Tyler Perry plays and movies, you are missing out on what many believe to be classics …
Family Guy : Blue Harvest
Ever since Star Wars was filmed, several movies have attempted to spoof it with limited success. Who would have thought the best ever spoof comes from a television series I used to not even like.
We rented the first ever feature film from Family Guy; Blue Harvest. And, I will …
From Paris With Love Movie
The movie From Paris With Love is filmed in Paris, a beautiful location. In the movie, a personal aide to the US Ambassador, James Reese (starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers) doubles up as a secret agent with the CIA. What he really wanted to do was to become a top …
The Holiday DVD
During Christmas time, I had decided to buy The Holiday DVD for my friends since I loved this movie; I made all my friends watch it too. I really like the movie as it gives sense of feeling that not all is lost if you break up with the …
Made of Honor
What if the one you love told you that he/she will be married?
If you are a woman, the answer can be found in “My Best Friend’s Wedding” but if you are a man, just find the answer in “Made of Honor”.
This movie is about Tom and Hannah, who becomes …
Super Mario World - The Wheel Thing
Super Mario World - “The Wheel Thing” is an episode that surpasses the premier episode in action, comedy, animation and music. This one of my favorite episodes of the cartoon series for a couple of reasons. For one, King Koopa and one of his sons, Kooky, actually present themselves …

Mobsters, directed by Michael Karbelnikoff is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was July 26, 1991 for United States audience.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014)
I’ve enjoyed every Hunger Games movie that’s released thus far. I enjoy the franchise so much that I even read the books. When I went to watch The Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 1, Movie (2014) in theatres, I hoped that this movie would live up to my expectations. I …
Jackie Brown
Quentin Tarantino takes a different route than usual with his third cinematic outing. His trademark humour and dialogue is still there, but things are a lot more casual and linear than his previous efforts.
The film follows Jackie Brown; a down on her luck, middle aged flight stewardess who, …
The Fan (1996)
The Fan, directed by Tony Scott is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong language throughout and some intense violence. The original release date for the movie was August 16, 1996 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Sport/Thriller and stars …
Inside Man (2006)
Sometimes you have an impression about a movie before you rent it. You might think it looks good based on the previews or you might really like one of the actors in the film. This was not the case when I came across the movie Inside Man. I had …
Rave Theater
I love to go and watch a movie at the theater. We have a new theater that has not been built but a couple of years. I am very impressed with this movie theater, it is called the Rave Motion Theater. The seats are very comfortable and designed so …
Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs the Movie
So I’m sure many of you have either read the book “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” either in your own time, or to your children. I myself, being only a recent “adult” can quite easily and fondly remember the days of curling up next to mom and …
Movie Rental Store
Here in Bellingham we are fortunate to have the best video store ever. Film is Truth located on Holly Street is absolutely the best adult video store ever. By adult I don’t mean that they rent dirty movies, but rather that they rent movies that will interest adults.
The store …
Who’s Harry Crumb (1989)
This is a comedy starring John Candy and he plays a very stupid private investigator in this movie. Truthfully, I didn’t find this movie very funny or entertaining. That is sad as I normally enjoy movies with John Candy. He did the acting well enough but I just didn’t …
Movie: Life as We Know It
Synopsis: A man and woman who can’t stand each other end up moving in together after their friends are killed in a car crash and name them the guardians of their 1-year-old daughter.
What I liked about this movie: I’m not big into tear jerkers and, for the most part, …
Postal, comedy action film
Uwe Boll does not have the best track record when it comes to movie making. Boll’s reign of terror started with House of the Dead, his first video game movie that made people notice this German native. Things have been constantly going downhill but that is about to change …
Paris,Texas movie
Wim Wenders was a part of the german new wave in the early 70s along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog for instance. The opinions of Wenders are very divided, and I personally think his later films are very overrated, but back in the 70s and 80s he …
Dracula: Dead and Loving it
I’m a huge fan of Mel Brooks movies, so when I got a chance to see the film “Dracula Dead and Loving it” again, I had to take it.
As far as his movies are concerned, this isn’t going to rank as high as other films like Blazing Saddles or …
Valerie and her week of wonders movie
A strange film from Czechoslovakia by director Jaromil Jires. It involves young beautiful women, dark phantoms, evil forces and a whole lot of other things in a weird mixture. The film doesn’t have a constant narrative, it rather tries to invent a new way of telling a story with …
Running Scared
It’s like a mystery/suspense/thriller type movie with the mob theme thrown in. I honestly did not expect the movie to be as great as I though it was. The first 15 minutes or so, it will look like a cheap, predictable cliche mob flick, but it gets a lot …
The Bone Collector
The Bone Collector is a thriller starring Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington. Washington plays a forensic specialist who is severely injured and paralyzed in an accident. He’s confined to his bed and unable to move or help the police the way he did before. At the same time a …

Non-Stop (movie)
I was looking forward to seeing the movie “Non-Stop” since February when it was in theatres since it had Liam Neeson, one of my favourite actors as a main character in it, and because the trailer that I had seen for it made the movie look interesting. I ended …
The Room, movie (2003)
Those who know me know I can enjoy a bad movie. Between a childhood of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and exposing myself to as much cinema I could get my hands on as an adult, I’ve seen quite a few stinkers in my experience. But just when …
Twins movie
When it comes to action movies, there are none better than Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, when it comes to comedies, there are few worse.
The movie Twins is probably Schwarzenegger’s best attempt and, while there are some funny scenes, it really isn’t all that great.
He and Danny Devito play twin brothers …
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
I love watching movie since then my friends also love it. Watching movie is our hobby, this really gave us great feeling after watching. Since also we love watching movies we are renting cd’s, dvd’s etc., we also buy it sometimes.
And when we our watching we give our …

Clifford the Big Red Dog Doggie Detectives
I went to our local Movie Gallery last night in search of a movie for my 4-year-old daughter. She has been watching a lot of Scooby Doo movies lately and, because she’s a bit too young to be watching without getting scared, has been having nightmares. So, I wanted …
Mr. Deeds
Mr. Deeds is a great comedy movie. I think the acting and characters were just great in this film! I think this is probably Adam Sanlder’s best work since The WaterBoy. Now I really liked the whole storyline about how he inherits tons of money and gets rich. Mr. Deeds …
The Dilemma (Movie)
The Dilemma is newly out of cinemas (Depends where you live) here in South Africa. The trailer was very ammusing, and i thought the movie would be hilarious.
I rented the movie on Box Office (Exclusive to Dstv, a south african TV company) for a fairly cheap price. I eagerly …

Movie 2012
I liked this movie. It’s another movie from Roland Emmerich, which I consider to be the master of disaster movies the likes of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. Apparently, he produced and directed this film for Columbia Pictures, which is of course owned by the …
Return of the Jedi movie
Some call this movie Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, but as I’ve said before, to me, it’s just plain Return of the Jedi. Once commonly thought of as just another sequel, once George Lucas actually wrote his other scripts, it became a rung in …
