The Hours (2002)
Based on one of my favourite novels ever, Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf, this movie explores the inner world of three different women, living in three different times. They’re all connected to eachother somehow, the first being none other than the writer, Virginia Woolf (played by Nicole Kidman), who …
OLDBOY (2003) - Film
Before watching this film I knew nothing about it other than its name, and the fact it had won a bunch of awards. I saw the film’s poster, which although quite cool, didn’t make me want to watch the film itself. It was a good few years after its …
The Night Listener movie
When I first popped this DVD in, I was a little apprehensive about watching Robin Williams portray another homosexual character in a film. It wasn’t until I did a little research, and realized that this film was based on a novel, which in turn was based on …
‘Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones’ movie
After the fourth movie, I was convinced that the “Paranormal Activity” franchise was dead. I liked the first two, but after that, the formula wore thin and they didn’t have anything new to bring to the table.
Enter this “spin-off” that follows another family as they are …
Penn & Teller Get Killed
A comedian couple have their own show on television. Their humour is very sick in courting to some people and they also use magic. One day they challenge the people watching for murder on themselves.
A very weak comedy to be honest with only a few funny moments combined with …
The movie Next Friday
This movie was so lame and the first Friday movie was definitely so much better. Basically the main character Craig moves with his cousin for one day in the suburbs. Again the whole movie takes place on Friday and this movie is horrible. I found that there were no …
Meet Dave
Played by one of the most respected comedians in the entertainment industry, Meet Dave is a movie that I would have otherwise been reluctant to watch, as I am not really into blatant fiction, but because of the Eddy Murphy factor, I knew that it would have that comedy …
March of the Penguins documentary
This documentary is both educational and entertaining. It is fun to learn more about these cute, flightless, birds.

Zombieland movie
I’ve never been one to be a fan of blood and gore zombie movies. Ever since I was a kid and channel surfed across a midnight showing of Day of the Dead on TV (of which up until that point, I had no clue how icky the human imagination …
Movie: Castle of the Walking Dead
A few days ago, I was looking at new movies available for watch on our Netflix Instant Watch service and came across an older movie called Castle of the Walking Dead.
I had never heard of this movie before. But, it had Christopher Lee in it and sounded somewhat interesting …
The Beach (2000)
I have read about the book (not read the book per se) titled “The Beach”. This novel was made into a film in 2000, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Richard, the fun-loving, adventure-seeking American with a can-do attitude who seeks adventure and risks his life in Bangkok, Thailand.
This movie …
Knight of Cups (2016 Film)
I had a really tough time getting through Terrence Malick’s well-known film The Tree of Life when it was released. The first time I watched it I didn’t lasted for 15 minutes. I immediately turned it off because I thought it was nothing but a pretentious show-off. I kept hearing …
The Messengers
The Messengers is just a lame, dull, boring story that I have seen played in movies countless times before. I don’t understand why they should make a horror movie as such. If I am to be a Director, and I decide to make a horror movie, I …
The Smurfs 2 - Movie
The great performance (600 million dollars) of the first feature movie about the Smurfs (2011) made the continuation of their adventures an inevitability. And it is already a fact - three-dimensional, dynamic and colorful as usual. In the center of the story is Gargamel, who is a superstar in …
Annie movie

The film was completed in 2000, and finally released in 2003, written and directed by Rob Zombie and starring Bill Mosley, Sherri Moon Zombie, and other lesser known actors. The film is extremely dark, violent, and shocking, it’s not to many movies that make a person feel sick and …
The Social Network (2010 film)

The Bucket List
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are spectacular in this movie about two dying men who go on an adventure to fulfill their life-long ambitions. The previews for this movie were a bit misleading. I though that this would be full of laughs, but the serious aspects were a …

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 …

Love & Friendship (2016 Period Comedy Film)
Period dramas are not really my cup of tea although I must admit the fact that I love Downton Abbey to death. I was in a depressed mode when the final episode aired this time last year because it was so sad to watch a whole bunch of characters I’ve …
Bruno
I was torn into two pieces by this movie. I didn’t want to see it at first because I thought it would be extremely stupid. And I believed this due to Sacha Baron Cohen’s appearances on television shows as “Bruno.” The character himself was not funny at all, to …

Johnny English
This movie, like anything with Rowan Atkinson in it, is very funny. It doesn’t quite have the flow to it that many of the Mr. Bean sketches have, but it’s still very fun to watch.
It seems similar to the Pink Panther, yet of course different. In this movie, Johnny …
