Jason X
Cast:
Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees), Lexa Doig (Rowan), Lisa Ryder (Kay-Em 14), Jonathan Potts (Prof Lowe), Melyssa Ade (Janessa), Peter Mensah (Sgt Brodski)
The only thing I like about this show is Jason Voorhees in the year 2445. This is quite refreshing they could not kill him off …
The Fountain, Darren Aronofsky Movie
What was the essence of ‘The Fountain’, the film work of Darren Aronofsky (requiem for a Dream) is this? Search will be eternal life or melodrama about true love? I think, after witnessing film, is a combination of both and is not too bad.
Stories run parallel between Tomas (Hugh …
Nightmare Detective (Movie Review)
Nightmare Detective is part of the Dimension Extreme films and I’ve been slowly working my way through these movies a little at a time. The series is a little similar to the After Dark Horror Fest in that all the movies probably wouldn’t get much of a release without …
IMAX theatre systems
I think the IMAX theatres are one of the best things the movie business has going for it. As we see declining sales these are going to be the things that bring people back into the theatre. I have been saying it for years–if you want people back you …
Guess Who (2005 movie)
I’m still wondering if this is a remake of the classic “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”, for it does not have the flair of the original (that’s of course, if it is a remake). Ashton Kutcher (Simon Green) co-stars with Bernie Mac (Percy Jones) in this family comedy that …

Dude, Where’s My Car?, directed by Danny leiner is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Assocaition of America for language and some sex and drug-related humor.

Who Is the Black Dahlia? movie
There’s been a lot of speculation about the lady in black known as the Black Dahlia over the years. No one really knows who killed her, but someone did, cutting up her body in the process. The gruesome and very real story has fascinated crime buffs for …
Girl, Positive movie
I watched this movie a while ago on lifetime movie network. I thought it was pretty good overall. It has Jennie Garth, and Andrea Brown. All of the actors were good. It’s about a high school student that finds she has tested positive for a HIV test. I …
Prince of Persia (2010)
I just saw this movie on its opening night, and it entertained me, but didn’t thrill me.
While I liked Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for most of its action and storyline, I wonder if something wasn’t missing here. There was a lot of good acting, and certainly …
Project X (movie)
“Project X” is one of the most exciting movies I’ve watched since the beginning of the summer. Funny enough, even though I’ve been more interested in action movies, this is more along the lines of teenage and college humour. In fact, the movie was actually one of those teen …
The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio (movie)
I think that one of the most interesting movies that I watched this year was one named “The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio”. I had actually seen the movie name on display on my cable guide a number of times before, but I never actually worked up the interest …
50 First Dates
If placed in the hands of a second-rate screenwriter, certain concepts or premises could fall apart. This movie could easily have been one of those, but expert screenwriting and fine performances by Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler make this a charming, believable movie.
The story centers around Drew, who had …
Shrek the Third
After years of hearing just how bad “Shrek the Third” was I decided that it was time to try the movie myself. I can certainly see why so many people disliked it but it was nowhere near as bad as I had expected.
One of the major problems with this …
Child’s Play 2
Child’s Play 2 is the second in the series of Child’s Play movies featuring the demonic killer doll “Chucky”. I remember watching it a little after I had watched the first “Child’s Play” movie and being as impressed as I was by the prequel. At the time I hid …
Man of Steel, movie
I first saw this movie in a beautiful theater in downtown Los Angeles. The theatre was extravagantly stunning, but the movie undoubtedly one-upped it. I sat in the theater in tears after it ended, but laughing through the emotions at the witty ending. I loved how it provided a …
Scy Fy’s “Stonehenge Apocalypse” made-for-tv movie
The made-for-TV, Scy-fy produced film in question is much like the title suggests: campy, amusing and predictable. The plot is predictable enough and involves a conspiracy theorist, an attractive female scientist who becomes convinced by his vision in a pairing popular since Mulder and Scully, and ancient civilizations as …
Rio Bravo movie
Rio Bravo is a wonderful western. It was so good that they repeated it, changing character names and just a few pieces of plot, as El Dorado. Make no mistake about it, though, Rio Bravo is the original and the best. It was magnificent. John …
Thor: Movie
Thor is a movie I went into with some pessimism, but came out pleasantly surprised and see it as one of my favourite movies of 2011.
Another comic-book adaption, I thought Thor’s story was very well developed and can be seen as an entertaining viewing for children and adults alike.
Firstly, …
The Incredibles
This movie was, if you’ll pardon the use of the word, incredible. And believe it or not, it was not because of the animation. It was the story that made this film so likable. So good, in fact, that I almost wish it were a live action superhero movie …
The Gnome-Mobile
Here is another Disney treasure from my past. I can still remember seeing this movie as a double feature at the drive-in movies, growing up in Southern California. What made it Disney was its comic sequences, and its stock character actors, namely Ed Wynn, Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber, …
Slumdog Millionaire
There has been a lot of reviews about this famous movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ so why another review? Well I want to express the views of many Indians like me who dare to think different.
It is made by a British director Danny Boyle, so it may …
Road House Deluxe Edition DVD
“Road House” stars Patrick Swayze as the philosophical cooler, “Dalton.” The movie has a strong cult following and has now been released in a deluxe edition with all kinds of special features. While it’s always wonderful to stock up on “Dalton’s” guide for Zen-like living, the extras in …
Bride Wars
Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway star in this wonderful Bride Wars. I watched this in the cinema with my best friend and we were relating to what we fantasized on our future wedding someday. I’m sure best friends will always talk about their own individual weddings someday and …

Jaws
Jaws is still one of the greatest action and greatest thriller movies off all time. I had not seen this movie in a LONG time and was curious to see if it still held up as a great movie. Well, it does. Sure, Jaws himself looks …
Zathura
Jon Favreau, the director of Elf, couldn’t have outdone himself; Elf was simply too adorable. That siad, Zathura, his most recent children’s story, was much better than I anticipated. The special effects were a little chessy, particularly the malfunctioning robot and the entrance of the stranded astronaut. The child …
Jet Li’s Fearless
Even though this film has been out quite a while now I have only just came around to watching it and if you’re into martial arts or the Chinese culture and tradition then you will be interested in this film start to end.
Jet Li plays Huo Yuanjia, son …
Happy Feet Movie
I was babysitting my niece and nephew and they wanted to watch the movie. When I popped the DVD in, I was prepared to get bored. I thought what could they possibly cook up with penguins as characters? But then my interest got stirred up by the opening number. …

Walt Disney has presented many delightful cartoons over the decades. This animated short from 1939 is called Goofy and Wilbur and was the first time that Goofy was the main character and supporting Mickey Mouse or another Disney main character. The situation is that Goofy is going …
Shrek 2
The funniest movie you’ll ever see. That is how I had this movie advertised to me. I laughed and said no way when I heard this. And after seeing the movie I am ready to admit..I was right. This movie is no where NEAR the …
Dirty Dancing
How often does a movie come along that you can watch it 5 times in one day and not ever get tired of it? I think the music is what makes this movie so good. And of course, the dancing. And Patrick Swayze. Oh my goodness, he is gorgeous …
Just a Little Inconvenience movie
Just a Little Inconvenience isn’t the easiest movie to watch, but it is a powerful and potent film. From 1977, the movie stars Lee Majors and James Stacy. In real life, Stacy was involved in a motorcycle accident that resulted in the lost of an arm and …
Vampires Suck Extended Bite Me Edition (Blu-ray)
And the movie starts off with a battle between Team Jacob and Team Edward. Thank you Vampires Suck for starting things off not so right and it continues with Edward getting fully naked and a disco ball is his penis—¦oh man all the vampires look it too. The fun …
Iron Man 2 (Movie)
This movie was the most-anticipated summer movie of the year, and people weren’t disappointed! It features new characters such as The Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko, and Don Cheadle as War Machine. I personally think Scarlett played a major role here and it …
The Debt, movie (2011)
Ever since her turn as the title role in 2006’s The Queen, she has allowed herself to take roles that women younger than her would kill for. Many times you hear actresses complain that they don’t get the roles they used to because of their age. If …
Shaid Afridi
When I saw him first , he was only 15, and already over 6 foot tall. In his second ODI, he broke the world record of hitting the fastest century ever, and his record still stands firmly. Afridi, since then has been know for his hard hitting and aggressive …

Friday the 13th Part 2
Friday the 13th part 2 is the film that really brings the series to life. The first movie was all about the mother seeking revenge on what she perceived to be the culprits behind her son’s death. With her character out of the way, we could finally get down …
Corpse Bride movie
Tim Burton, who directed the cult hit The Nightmare Before Christmas also directed Corpse Bride in 2005. He used a similar style in both movies. Each movie uses puppet animation, and both movies are musicals. The two pictures are very similar in tone and style, with a dark …

Saw
Saw is a new kind of horror film that I had never seen before, the movie came off tacky at times, but it was interesting and cool enough to let the small things go, the plot I think is really good and kept me interested, 2 people wake up …
Night at the Museum
‘Night at the Museum’ directed by Shawn Levy has very peculiar story which interests my a strange manner. In general, it is movie which kids will enjoy more. But, that does not mean that it does not deserve adult viewers. Ben Stiller, playing the lead role has acted to …
Snitch (2013 Film)
Within the beginning segments of Snitch, it’s noted that it was inspired by real life happenings. This is somewhat true. A person was incorrectly labeled as selling illegal substances after a supposed mate set him up and because of this, the individual was given ten year compulsory imprisonment for …
Three men and a baby
Three men and a baby is a very touching movie and it is very heart warming experience that one feels while watching the movie. The movie starts off like a guy movie with three guys and their stints and efforts. These three guys are bachelors and the journey starts …

Space Camp
I was flipping channels the other day and came across the film Space Camp on one of our movie channels. I have to tell you, it was the first time in years I had seen the movie and it really isn’t as good as I remember it being.
I think …
My Bill movie
Talk about overdone, that’s exactly what the film My Bill is. It’s a 1938 motion picture that actually did pretty well. Oddly, it’s a little disturbing to me.
We have a mother of four, whose husband is dead, and who is struggling to make sure her kids continue …
Movie The Little Polar Bear
I sat down to watch the movie The Little Polar Bear with my daughter last night and, I’ll admit it, I really wasn’t expecting it to be very good. But, after seeing it, I will say it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
The movie focuses on …
Match Point (R, 2005) movie
Match Point is not like you typical Woody Allen film. Usually his movies are filled with intelligent snarky humor and strange situations. This movie, while filmed in a bright and airy way, was really quite dark. What I liked in particular was my ability …
