Forever at the top in the world of animation, Disney broke even more ground with this lushly animated and wonderfully told new version of the classic french fairy tale Beauty and the Beast. So wonderous was this instant classic, that it was the first ever animated film to ever …

Salt the Movie
Salt is actually both simple and hard to examine —“ and for that same cause. That cause is which Salt is really a business choice movie as well as from which perspective this works pretty much. But that does mean that it’s completely emptiness of innovative spark.
This is actually …

A lot like love (movie)
I watched this movie a couple of years ago, overall I thought it was a pretty good movie. It was a lot funnier than I expected it to be. I hadn’t seen any previews to it before I watched it and just saw it on television one day and …
Upside of Anger
Upside of Anger, starring Kevin Costner and Joan Allen is a romantic comedy and drama. The movie is a good movie and has some very decent performances by the main actors. The tag line, ‘Sometimes what tears us apart helps us put it back together’ itself is very impressive …
The Grudge Movie
The movie The Grudge is one of the best new scary movies to come out recently. I did enjoy the movie. Although I must say it’s very similar to The Ring. The reason I saw this is because both of the dead people who come back to kill were …

Night of the Living Dead is one of those movies that people frequently tout when forced to name the greatest horror movies of all time, yet many of those same people have only seen it once or twice. Barbara and her brother Johnny are visiting a cemetery when they’re …

War of the Worlds
War of the Worlds is such a good movie that I’ve watched before. This movie stars Tom Cruise and the little talented girl at that time, Dakota Fanning. It’s a movie basically about aliens invading, or what they call it, The Tripod. These tripods come in numbers, …
The Marine (PG-13, 2006) movie
If you really really want to see a bad film, look no further than “The Marine” a serious B-movie starring WWE wrestler John Cena. As if having a wrestler headline the film isn’t enough of an indication of this movie’s suckiness they had the nerve to include …

The Phantom Of The Opera (2004) Movie
A musical with a dark twist…Stunningly horrific…On your edge, nail biting…
Dumbest movie I have ever seen in my whole life. C’mon, what were the diretors thinking. Don’t waste your time people, just look at the name and walk away. This film was never meant to be made.
Rating: 1

Casino Royale
I was very skeptical about watching Casino Royale for I was never interested in any of the previous James Bond movies. I figured they are very predictable, where the hero beats everyone up, always winning and ends up with the beautiful girl. I’m so glad I gave Casino Royale …

Rhapsody in August movie
One of the master Kurosawa’s last films, which he completed in a time when he perhaps was a little to aged to perform at his best. Still I really like this tragic story about an old woman who takes care of her grandchildren when their parents travel abroad for …
The Notebook (movie)
With Valentine’s day coming up (or even if you’re reading this after that day), this might be a good movie to check out. The Notebook is the movie version of Nicholas Sparks’ book, as you probably already know. As with all of the other stories that this …
Thelma & Louise (1991)
Thelma & Louise, is a movie about two female criminals who happened to fall on their craft by accident. But no matter that, let’s get into the meat of the matter…no pun intended. This movie shows the level that people can sink to in times of desperation, never push …
Alot Like Love (2005 movie)
Love is a complicated matter…and this movie shows just how complicated it can get. Mixed signals…lack of communication…looking for love in all the wrong places…having to make terrible decisions…the list goes on and on. This movie would have done much better if it was just a drama. The comedy …

Mona Lisa Smile
Julia Roberts stars in this movie where for women, it’s about getting married and not necessarily school. It is an interesting portrait of the paths that different women take, such as marriage, working for a living, no marriage, birth control, etc. If some parts had been cut down …
X-Men 3: The Last Stand
X-Men 3: The Last Stand stars Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and Kelsey Grammer.
I was so excited to see this movie after seeing the first two, that perhaps my standards were too high. After seeing sequels of this genre like Star Wars and The …
Short Cuts movie
Short Cuts is a film by Robert Altman that tells a complex story including several different people. These people’s lives are connected in some way, which they audience are unaware for most of the film. It’s very similar to the later film Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson. I don’t …
“8 Mile” (2002 Film)
While Eminem and Brittney Murphy, along with Mikai Phiffer are very talented, I have to wonder if the movie they starred in, “8 Mile” which was featured in theaters in 2002, was really a film worth watching. The film itself I believe was trying to do something positive …
The Age of Adaline (2015) - Movie
I found out about The Age of Adaline while scrolling through an article cataloguing new 2015 movie releases. I never saw the trailer but I decided to see this movie because I recognized the actress on the movie poster. I know Blake Lively from the TV show Gossip Girl and …
Tropic Thunder
When I first saw the movie “Tropic Thunder” advertising, all I could think about was that it was not going to be funny because the actor and comedian “Jack Black” was in it. I normally have a problem with that actor as I think he is not a very …
Get Hard - Comedy Movie (2015)
Get Hard is a comedy movie starring Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell. Despite all the negative reviews I’d heard about the movie I decided to watch it. While I wasn’t impressed with the plot of the movie, I found myself not taking the movie seriously and laughing at the jokes …

I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Death of a Stranger, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Gavin Troy. This film was made in 1999, was produced by Brian-True-May, and is based off the novel written by Caroline Graham.
In this film, …
Gravity (2013 Space Thriller Film)
I still remember that day in October, 2013 when Gravity opened in cinemas and I was one of the first people who saw it on its opening day. The cinema was rather surprisingly empty, mimicking the vast space where this film was mostly set. It became a box-office phenomenon a …
Movie Watchmen
If you are looking for a regular super hero movie about people with special powers who are trying to save the world I think this film will disappoint you. Although it is about saving the world and about people with special powers it is certainly not a regular superhero …

Smiley Face (movie)
I developed a liking for the comedy actress Anna Farris once she played the role of Cindy in the Scary movie series, and also played a few other comedy roles to my liking. Therefore, a part from the plot, this was why when I heard about the movie Smiley …
Idiocracy
Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies. It’s the story about an average ‘joe’ who gets chosen to participate in a military experiment. He was supposed to be cryogenically frozen for 1 year, but something goes wrong and he wakes up 500 years later. To his suprise society hasn’t …
Due South: Free Willie

The Conjuring 2 (2016 Supernatural Horror Movie)

Time Changer
Wow, what can you say about this little “masterpiece” of Christian cinema? The premise is pretty simple: a man from the 19th century travels through time to the beginning of the 21st century and is amazed by how immoral and corrupt and violent the world is. His …
Agatha Christie’s Murder at the Gallop movie
I have to say that the first thing I noticed about this second entry in the movie’s Miss Marple mystery movie by Agatha Christie is the very bright and campy musical theme. It’s just so bubbly and merry that it seems like follows should be more of a …
Changeling
You know what, I rented the movie Changeling thinking it was going to be a dull film and it turned out to be one of the better movies I’ve watched this month.
This movie, which stars Angelina Jolie, gives an overview of a little-known mass slaying that took place in …
