A Kid in Aladdin’s Palace
Though I have not seen this movie in ages, it still remains one of my favourite children’s movies. It was released in the year nineteen ninety eight and I think that the first place where I watched it was on the Disney Channel one Thursday or Friday night when …
Envy the Movie
I watched this movie with my family, but it did not turn out being a very friendly film for families. I wish that it was a better one for us to have watched, but at the same time, it was funny, and kids are used to hearing bad language …
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith movie
I’m certainly one of those morons who grew up wathing the first Star Wars movies on vhs and adored them. Recently I watched the latest (and last) movie on dvd (yes, I saw it in the theatre too) and I feel ready to state my opinion on it now. …
The Slayers Anime Season 1
The Slayers is an anime set in a fantasy universe in which a sorceress named Lina Inverse raids bandit gangs and steals their treasure from them, while using her magic to literally blow them away. After one of these escapades, she meets the dashingly handsome but equally dimwitted …
Before sunset - staring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy
My boyfriend and I recently watched the 2004 film Before Sunset starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Although the film was a little slow going, we really enjoyed it. I suppose you’d describe it as romantic comedy. Julie Delpy is brilliant. We also saw her …
Knocked Up
This movie is about getting ‘knocked up’, and finding the truth. I watched this the other day and it was so darn hilarious, and only suitable for young adults and adults.
It is about a woman who went for a one night stand with a guy, and then got …
Perfect Marriage movie
I watched this movie today on lifetime movie network. They are doing this thing today called “the perfect sunday”. This was a pretty decent movie, overall I enjoyed it. My biggest complaint is that the ending could have been a lot better. I kind of felt like the ending …
The Invasion Movie
I think The Invasion is one of those movies that probably could have been pretty good, but ended up getting the raw end of the stick. The movie was supposed to come out a few years ago, but kept getting pushed back and pushed back. I remember reading a …
“Day of the Dead” (2008) Film
“Day of the Dead” (2008) is something of a remake of the original film by the same name. It’s directed by Steve Miner, who has such credits under his directorial belt as 1999’s “Lake Placid.” That should have been my first hint, though I didn’t pay attention to the …
3:10 to Yuma
I am reviewing the 2007 movie, 3:10 to Yuma, starring Russel Crowe and Christian Bale. Crowe plays Arizona outlaw Benjamin Wade, a no nonsense, dangerous criminal. While dangerous, the man is also charming and likable. Then we meet Dan Evans, played by Christian Bale. He’s a family man, dedicated, …
We Need to Talk about Kevin (movie)
I’ve been hearing about the movie “We Need to Talk about Kevin” for some months now, and despite watching the trailer and feeling like I had to watch it, I never actually got a chance to until very recently. The result of this was that I was very impressed …
Constantine (2005)
This movie is quite disappointing. It really leads human thinking to nowhere. It’s simple as this, if you’re not for heaven, you go to hell. There are only two destinations. But this movie gives an exception to one man. There is no such thing …

Confessions of a shopaholic movie
I saw the movie recently, one early morning when I wasn’t feeling to well and I couldn’t sleep, and I must say that it actually managed to keep my interest and to somewhat distract me from my sickness.
Confessions of a shopaholic has all the classic features …
Gothika -movie
As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 23
RomeoXJuliet Episode 23 begins with Conrad preparing for Juliet’s coronation, meanwhile Juliet heads to the Escalus tree to sacrifice herself to keep Neo Verona from falling apart and Tybalt tells Romeo of Juliet’s intentions and he goes to stop her.
This was a beautiful episode, that’s the only way I …
Moulin Rouge movie
This movie which acts like a musical is very enjoyable to watch. I really liked the singing, and found Nicole Kidman great in her role. The coincidences were funny, and the entire movie was just silly.
The play within the movie was ridiculous, but how they tied it into the …
Iron Man
I have never read the Iron Man comic strips before. So, when the movie came out, I wasn’t sure what to think.
After finally watching it this weekend, I’m regretting not seeing it at the theater.
Robert Downey Jr. is great as a wealthy weapons developer who develops a conscience and …
The princess diaries movie
I remember watching “The princess diaries” a couple of years ago. It is a much better movie than I thought. It had a lot of humor to it and it was a good family movie. I watched it with my sisters and my mother on different occasions. It had …
Jumper
For the amount of recognizeable talent in this movie, I made the mistake of thinking that it had to be good and I neglected to check out reviews of it before I spent the $10.50 on a movie ticket to go see it.
The plotline was horrible. It was …
Taken, Movie

The Artist (2011) Movie
I just saw the Oscar winner for Best Picture of 2011 which is the movie The Artist. This movie stars Jean Dujardin (which also won Best Actor at the Oscars), Berenice Bejo, John Goodman and James Cromwell. I was quite adamant to see this movie because it …

Bad Neighbours (movie)
My co-workers and I decided that we should probably go see a movie for the two for one special a local theatre was having. Two of us wanted to see the new Spiderman movie and the other two wanted to go and see one of those random chick flicks …
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger movie
I would not want to tell you what happens in the film, perhaps only roughly. Same thing happened when I saw Closer, we concluded that the story is too good to tell everybody what happens.
The story is fairly complex because it follows the fates of several couples, old age …
A Million Ways to Die in the West (movie)
Since I haven’t been seeing any new episodes of Family Guy or American Dad I’ve been wondering what the creator Seth McFarlane has been up to and whether or not he had any new projects working on. My question was answered when I saw the trailer for the comedy “A …
Flushed Away movie
Flushed Away is one great movie for me. I like Kate Winslet as an actress and in this cartoon movie she dubbed the voice of the female rat named Sid. I like the movie because I like to learn English more and here in this movie they were using …
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
When it comes to masterpieces on film, Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange knows nearly no rival. While my personal experience with the movie did not come until just last year (the incessant raving from other viewers finally pushed me into the fray to give the film a watch), I’m …
Godzilla Raids Again
Godzilla Raids Again is the second movie released just a couple of years after the first Godzilla movie. Still shot in black and white, the story follows the emergence of a second Godzilla as well as a new monster that has a spiked back, horns and sharp teeth. Not …
Green Lantern movie in 2D, starring Ryan Reynolds
First off, I must say that I am a very big fan of the Green Lantern comics and have been for over a decade. The reader needs to know of my bias towards this film. Unfortunately, there will be a few spoilers, but I’ll try to keep them at …
One for the Money (movie)
A couple years ago before one of my relatives died, she recommended that I read the Janet Evanovich novel “One for the Money” as she claimed that I would enjoy it. I was hesitant at first since at the time I was more of a horror fan and we …

Movie : Where the Heart Is
“Where the Heart is” is one of the best warm, fuzzy movies that you will ever watch. It is an amazing tale of a young woman who finds herself in some awful messes but comes out very well in the end because she sticks with her convictions. Her boyfriend …
Bring It On Again Movie
I totally loved the Bring It On Movie which was the first part of this second movie, and as I was excited to see this one, first I was disappointed because they had totally changed the characters, Eliza Dushku and Kirsten Dunst weren’t the main characters anymore, and nobody …

Her friend lets her read a manuscript which the friend wrote. That evening the friend is murdered.
Julie decides to …
G.I.Joe: The rise of Cobra
I really didn’t know what to expect of this movie. I had never seen a trailer about it so I was expecting something between war and politics, but like it actually happens, like we see it on TV every day. Here everything was about money, like it usually is, …
Cloverfield (movie)
Rob and I went to see this movie the other day entitled Cloverfield. The movie was done in the same method that The Blair Witch Project was filmed as if you were watching the movie unfold as someone is filming a party in New York City. The …
Deadly Matrimony - Part 2 movie
The second part of Deadly Matrimony focuses on how Brian Dennehy’s detective sergeant character of John Reed sets out to find out who killed Dianne Masters, and once he knows, to take care of cleaning up the corrupted Chicago police department.
Dennehy is a commanding presence on film. While …
The Guard (movie)
I watched the comedy thriller “The Guard” last night, and while there are many things I have to say about it, I promise to keep my review fairly brief.
The movie was about the strange partnership of an FBI agent, and an Irish policeman with some very unorthodox ways, …
