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 …
Videodrome movie
Cronenberg’s cult rated film features James Woods as a man being consumed by media, psychologically and physically, in perhaps the most bizarre way ever seen. It begins as what seems like a very serious and slowly paced film, but ends up as a plain horror film with loads of …
The Good Dinosaur (2015 Film)
I have a really weird fascination for Pixar films. In the country where I live, Pixar films tend to show late compared to their release dates stateside. That is why I had to wait for a month or two to catch them in cinemas rather than watch a downloaded a …

Movie Blast

The Aristocrats Movie
I had never heard of the Aristocrats joke before this movie came out, which means I am probably like most people, since this seems to have been an in-joke among comedians that never really made it out into the popular culture prior to this film. I did find …
Internal Affairs Movie
I expected it to be a good and interesting movie. I like cop stories and I like Andy Garcia. But heck! What an absolutely dragging movie! For a cop movie in Hollywood, there was just too much talking. I could barely keep my eyes open.

Hot Fuzz
This movie was fantastic, it had me chuckling the whole way through. From the same team that gave us Shaun of the Dead, this takes the life of Police Officer Nicholas Angel and delights with a send up of American police movies and the British country whodunits. …

Friday the 13th Part 7
When I watch a movie, I can’t help but pay attention to the actors. If a movie uses bad actors, then the chances are good that I’m going to despise the movie. That’s my main problem with Friday the 13th part 7. I knew going in that the movie …
Howl’s Moving Castle (anime film)
When I first heard that ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’ was to be released on film, I was thrilled. I was a little chagrined, though, to learn that it would be a Japanese anime production.
I was so happy, in the first instance, because I love the book on which the film …

Bloodrayne
I love vampire movies so it should be a bit surprising I didn’t get around to watching the film Bloodrayne until tonight.
The movie was OK but not as good as I thought it would be.
The problem with movies based on video games is they tend to assume you actually …
The Hitcher DVD
This is a remake of the classic that starred, C. Thomas Howell, from way back when. The original was the kind of thriller that you could watch over and over again. This remake was plain ridiculous. The action seemed a lot less than the original, the acting far …
Dumbo
Dumbo is a timeless animation classic. This movie will forever live in the hearts of those who saw it. I think that the story of the tiny elephant with big ears was very cute and very sad as well. I was very happy as a kid when I saw this …
Apocalypto
‘Apocalypto’ is an English movie directed by Mel Gibson. The movie is not good but is shot well, but there is too much of violence in the movie. The movie is action-packed and the story line is good. All the actors have performed well.
The main character is a young …
Suspiria
I think Suspiria is probably one of the scariest. If not the scariest movie ever made. This movie is old from the year 1977. But I still enjoy it. In fact I think older movies like Suspiria are the best kind of movies. I just loved the spooky music …
Toy Story 3: the movie

Cursed (Theatrical Version)
CURSED (Theatrical version)
This cinematic hairball was released in two versions on DVD: R-Rated and unrated.
I’m not sure what the difference is between the two because I saw this mess in theaters and have absolutely no desire to muddle through it again, in any version.
Wes Craven’s first werewolf film is …

X-Men First Class movie

Film Coraline
I have just watched the film Coraline and I must say it was quite charming. If you have seen the trailer, this movie may seem as if it is intended for just a younger audience, but that is not the case. While it does a good job at …
Motherhood Motion Picture
I have enjoyed many of Uma Thurman’s movies over the years but this was sadly not one of her better ones. I had read negative reviews about this movie before I watched it and they were right. The acting and directing in this script were great. …
Tropic Thunder (R, 2008) movie
I was a little surprised by how much I actually liked this film. I really thought that Robert Downey, Jr. in “black-face” would cause some issues for the director, producer, and actors. But it seems that perhaps people are seeing about this film what I …
Open Range (2003)
Once again, Kevin Costner has delivered unto us, the viewing public, another almost three hour feature length film based in the days of the old west. I guess it is safe to say that he loves this time period and he enjoys getting all submerged in a world where …
Death At A Funeral (Movie)
This movie is called Death At A Funeral and the title is very funny and tricky, and I knew it was going to be a comedy because almost all really good actors who play comedy are here like Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock, Danny Glover, Keith David, Peter Dinklage, Tracy …
