People Are Funny movie
In 1946, the motion picture People Are Funny was released. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it went on to become a successful TV show. In fact, that host, Art Linkletter, appears as himself in the movie.
In a sense, the movie provides a background for the …

A Perfect Getaway (UR, 2009)

Ghostbusters movie
One of my favorite movies was the first Ghostbusters movie. Even now, I think of it as a classic even though it has one of my least favorite comedians and actors in there, Bill Murray. I think one of the reasons why I appreciated it too was that, even …

Robin Hood movie
Robin Hood came out surrounded by buzz that it was going to be Gladiator 2. I’m guessing this is because Ridley Scott directed and Russel Crowe starred, just like in Gladiator. But there is very little the same about the two movies. Sure they both follow …
John C. Reilly
I have just rented “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” but have not watched it yet. But if the movie is anywhere near as funny as this guy is when he’s in a comedic role, then I am sure that I will be guffawing a lot throughout. …
The Ring movie
I can remember when I watched the premiere of the movie “The Ring” on cable. I can’t remember which movie channel brought it, but what I do remember is that even though I did not expect it to be terrifying I still found it a little creepy. I had …
Dave Movie
This movie was surprisingly good, much better than I expected. When I saw the PG-13 rating and read the blurb - a lookalike of the American President temporarily takes the President’s place - I thought there would be some stupid stuff, like him having sex with the President’s wife, …
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
I was very disappointed to see this film listed in the Razzie Awards 2008 because I truly believe it is a great comedy were one can have a good hearty laugh at the misfortuntes of two fellow firefighters, Chuck and Larry. The parts of Chuck and Larry are interpreted …
Alice in Wonderland movie
I will be honest, I have never even seen the first Alice in Wonderland. I wasn’t even planning on watching this one, but my boyfriend bought it on Blu-Ray and Blu-Rays are pretty expensive so I figured I would watch it with him so he wasn’t wasting his money. …

The Invention of Lying (Movie)
The Invention of Lying (Movie)
Ricky Gervais is known for his over-the-top humor, but there was nothing funny about this movie. The movie started out with an intriguing idea of a world where everybody is forced to say what is on their mind and tell 100% truths, but then one …
This is the End, Film
At first glance, —˜This is the End’ could be viewed as a vanity project. A comedy produced by the actors who star as themselves, it all feels a little bit self-congratulatory. The plot involves Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson and James Franco having to …
Ed Wood movie
Tim Burton’s lovely portrait of the bizarre director Ed Wood comes to life with an amazing Johnny Depp in the leading role and Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi. I don’t know if everything in this film is the truth, but it sure is very convincing and enjoyable, much thanks …
Fracture
Anthony Hopkins has played so many villains, I think I have lost count. Here he appears as one again, intelligent, scheming, cold-blooded - just the way you like him. The movie “Fracture” (released in 2007) drew me in from the start, and from the start I knew it was …
The Dead One movie
I came across a movie on TV the other day called The Dead One. I didn’t know a whole lot about it but it starred Wilmer Valderrama (Fez from That 70s Show) and I decided to record it and watch it later based solely on that.
Well, I finally got …

Girl Interrupted
I didn’t watch the movie Girl Interrupted because I wanted to. I watched it because my wife insisted on seeing it. While I won’t go as far as to say I hated the movie, it definitely isn’t one I was all that interested in watching.
The movie follows the lives …
film “Ginger Snaps Back” (2004)
I really enjoyed the film Ginger Snap and I though this movie would be similar but it was not. Basically the makers of the first movie did not expect it to be a cult favorite. It was not made with a lot of money but did very …
Film 2012
I went to see 2012 with much expectation due to all hype around it. But I was not very impressed with what I saw in the silver screen. I came out with a mixed feeling. The theme of the story is of course the world gets demolished on 2012, …
The Professional: Movie
The Professional is an absolutely fantastic film. Normally, the crime genre isn’t really for me. But this story is beautifully told about an assassin and how his life changes when he reluctantly takes on the responsibility of a 12-year-old girl.
First of all, the acting is excellent. The assassin Leon …

40 Days and 40 Nights
I was expecting Josh Hartnett to shine in the DVD movie, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Don’t get me wrong; Josh is a darling and he acted really well but the storyline is a real bummer for me.
It starts off with Josh character, Matt being dumped by his super …

Half Baked movie
I used to love Cheech and Chong movies when I was younger, so when I saw this film, I thought it would be something that would pay tribute to what they accomplished.
What I found was another stoner movie that really wasn’t that great.
The acting in the movie was terrible …

27 Dresses Movie
27 Dresses is one of those cute and fluffy movies that you can watch one and then instantly forget about it. It’s not that the movie is necessarily bad, but it just doesn’t make much of an impression. I’ve seen a lot of romantic comedies over the years and …
The Love Guru, romantic comedy film by Marco Schnabel
There comes a point in your life where you want to watch a movie that is real bad, but one of those movies that might be the worst out of the bunch is Mike Myer’s film, The Love Guru. Is this movie real that bad or is there something …
Nothing But the Truth: A Compelling Movie

Scary Movie
A hideous “comedy” that is supposed to make fun of old horror movie cliches with a focus on predictable storytelling and shock effects. However, all it does is show a very long and disturbing series of prejudice, poor taste and idiotic humour. The film is by the way is …

The Book of Eli (2010) movie
I’m a big fan of any movie with Denzel Washington in it and this one lived up to what I expected exactly.

Film 1408
I had been looking forward to the big screen adaption of Stephen King’s excellent short story 1408 from his collection Everything’s Eventual. I’d heard quite a few positive reviews and heard that it didn’t do too bad at the box office either, which was unexpected and hopefully a good …
Transporter 2 DVD
Its not to often that a sequel is better than the original movie but I think the Transporter 2 has acheived this. The movie has amazing special effects, exciting action and even a good storyline.
This film is highly enjoyable and looks beautiful its helped by being set in …
Bruce Almighty

The sequel to Batman Begins was a real shocker, it was very different than the first, and I will admit that it was one of the darkest movies that I have ever seen, but also one of the very best. I was so sad when I heard that Heath …
