Dementia 13 is a movie that has long been on my list to see, yet for some reason I just never had the time or energy to track down a copy. When I bought a boxed set though the movie was inside and I decided to sit down and …
Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost
Last night, I once again sat down with my daughter to watch a movie with her. And, of course, I let her pick the film. She chose Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. And, for the most part, I liked her decision.
This is a newer Scooby Doo film, as …

Solitary Man starring Michael Douglas
I have always loved the work of Michael Douglas, so when I was given a copy of Solitary Man, I could not wait to sit down to watch it. The movie stars Michael Douglas, along with Dany Devito, and Susan Sarandon.
Michael Douglas plays a man in …
Wimbledon (2004)
This movie is about tennis in all its glory. Nothing more, nothing less. They try to toss in a love story in it but that was dashed asunder on the rocks below as this movie failed to even grasp and hold you until the very end of the movie. …
Interview with the vampire
I loved this film, it’s one of my all time favourites.
I’m a big fan of Anne Rice and it’s so rare to like the movie version of a book but this film could not be any more perfect.
I thought they captured the darkness of her books wonderfully. They managed …

United 93 movie
“United 93″ is a movie about 9/11. Depend on what is left in the cockpit’s tape, the editor tried as hard as he could to put what really happened in United 93 into the screen. Passengers are stranger to each other when they get into the plane. They stand …
The Lost (NR, 2005) movie
I thought this movie was supposed to be good. I rented it on Netflix, looking at the four stars and really assumed that there would be some significant twists. But this film was completely lost on me. For one, Ray Pye’s character was not …
Very Violent Film
Isn’t it good to go to a movie and see intelligent, peacefull and interesting films? But there is nothing of this that I found at Lord of The Rings 3. There are so much violence in the scenes, so much strange anoyng creatures, like the Orcs, creatures that are …

Rugrat’s In Paris movie
Rugrat’s in Paris is a great family movie. This is the sequel to the first Rugrat movie. This movie is about Chuckie’s family growing and his visit overseas to Japan. I liked that this movie is great for children as well as for adults. At least, the adults that …

Sherlock Holmes movie (2009)
Usually, I like movies directed by Guy Ritchie, but Sherlock Holmes misses the mark. This movie fails to hold together any plot or any interest for the viewer. I think I know what they were trying to achieve, but it does not succeed. The dialog is trite and almost …
Alvin and the Chipmunks Movie
I have to admit Alvin and the Chipmunks is now my new favorite movie! I dont think I have ever laughed so hard at one movie! My kids really enjoyed this movie so much. My 5 year old son watched it 4 times over the weekend. I think he …
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 …
Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword
I got home from work last night and my daughter had just started watching the movie Scooby Doo and the Samurai Sword. Since I had not seen that movie yet, I figured I would take the time to watch it with her (while feeding our other daughter).
It was an …
Smokey Mountain Christmas Movie
A Smokey Mountain Christmas is a movie from the 80s that stars Dolly Parton. It is just a cute, feel good Christmas movie. It kind of has a Snow White and the seven dwarves feel to it. Dolly stars as a popular country singer who wants to get away …
Wanted
“Wanted” is the most recent Angelina Jolie success movie. Although this is labelled a Jolie movie, in reality “Wanted” is all about the actor, James McAvoy and the director, Timur Bekmambetov great talents! This movie was very much well received by critics and the general public.
It is very difficult …
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties
I admit to being a bit apprehensive when I checked this movie out, mainly because I had not liked the first “Garfield” movie. Mainly I had thought Garfield had acted a tad too mean in it. But to my utter surprise, this movie was a real delight to watch. …
Wall-E
I quickly became a fan of the movie Finding Nemo shortly after Pixar released it. I not only liked the story but fell in love with the characters. I don’t know how many times I watched it. I must have watched enough to memorize most of its quotes. I …
Without A Clue Movie
This movie creates a funny twist to the famous Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson duo, with Dr. Watson being the mastermind and the genius and Holmes nothing but a fictional character created by him and represented by a hired actor, Reginald Kincaid (Michael Caine). While Kincaid gets all the …
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace movie
It looks like Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace took a lot of time coming. It was almost like the long wait for James Cameron’s Avatar, many years after Titanic established itself as the unbeatable hit. Therefore, when it finally came to the theaters, naturally …
The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery movie
This movie, The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery, seemed like it would be a lot more interesting than it was. It’s a crazy set up, though, with some nonsense about adoption and motherhood. Justine Bateman stars as wife, mom, and writer Lucy Freers who turns sleuth to find the …
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Ok, the first A Nightmare on Elm Street was an interesting movie with an interesting premise. Never seen the second so I can’t comment on it, but the third one is just, well, silly.
The plot is essentially the same, except now there are more kids involved. And …
Knocked Up
Knocked Up is an honest, down-to-earth movie about a one-night stand gone terribly wrong. From its title, you can sense the bluntness that is also throughout the film. The dialogue it truly funny and easy to associate with because it feels like stuff your friends would really say in …
Movie: Backwoods
My wife and I were watching the movie Wrong Turn last night on the SyFy channel when they advertised their film Backwoods. Naturally, I assumed this would be their version of Wrong Turn and didn’t think it would be any good. The only reason we didn’t switch the channel …
Mystic River
Mystic River is a movie about three friends who are close when they are young and then something terrible happens. Mystic River is another movie that changes around so much it is hard to follow at times, but the plot is fantastic and Sean Penn as Jimmy is excellent. …
Brotherhood of the Wolf-(Le Pacte Des Loups)- (2001)
Usually I don’t enjoy watching foreign films with characters I am unfamiliar with. However, I decided to give this one a try. The plot seemed very interesting. There is a beast terrorizing the countryside and killing innocent villagers. Two unlikely heroes show up to investigate and solve the mystery …
In Too Deep movie
I like Omar Epps in his reoccurring role on the show “House” but I’m not convinced he is a good Hollywood actor, capable of carrying a movie when asked.
A good example is the film In Too Deep. Epps stars in the movie and does a decent job as a …
The Tomb (2007)
Starring: Victoria Ullmann (Tara Griffen), Christian Behm (Billy), Gerald Griesbaum (Richard Morris)
It’s a bewildering movie I even watched till the end, and I still don’t understand the story.
Tara and Billy were imprisoned in a dark place called the Witch House; a mysterious voice (mechanically distorted) challenging …
Alice in Wonderland- 3D
The day that I saw the trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, I told my husband that we were going the day it came out. I loved Alice when I was a little girl, and I was excited to see how Tim Burton would make the story now …
Movie The Strangers
This 2008 release is a very disappointing movie. I’ve seen the trailer a few times so I thought it would be a good horror movie. However, I found the introduction long and dragging. There were several “quiet” scenes where the characters were just being sad and depressed and not …
“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …
Jeepers Creepers Movie
The movie starts…a brother and sister are driving on a lonely back road going home when the mysteriously encounter a maniac driver trying to run them off the road, they happen to see where something was dumped in a drain by this maniac driver, and what do they do…they …
Untraceable Movie
I thoroughly enjoyed Untraceable even though the reviews I read were poor at best. There were a few major problems I had with the movie, but given the cast and the overall plot line, it was something that I could actually get interested in. I usually let a movie …
The movie The Great Mouse Detective
I don’t really remember this movie coming out. I did not even know it existed until I was about 11 and my sister brought it home from the library. However when I did watch it I thought that it was cute.
I liked the idea that it was basically …
John Carter (movie)
One of the movies that just did not interest me at all when I saw the trailer first was the movie John Carter. I still don’t understand why it didn’t either, since I remember thinking that the movie looked like something I would have sat an enjoyed. However, it …
Movie: “Ghost Town”
A surprisingly funny and charming movie, “Ghost Town” tells the story of Bertram Pincus, an unpleasant dentist reminiscent of Ebenezer Scrooge. His attitude toward life: bah, humbug. When he dies briefly on the operating table, he wakes up with the unwanted ability to see ghosts. It doesn’t take long …
Picture Perfect
I admit that “Picture Perfect” is one of my favourite Jennifer Aniston movies. This movie is very different from the typical romantic movie as it has a very original story. The main actors, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Bacon and Jay Mohr interpret their role in an exception manner.
“Picture Perfect” is …
Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon Movie
Out of all three Transformers films, this film was the best one out of all of them. And I’m not talking about the human performance. More than anything, it was so good to see that Optimus Prime had a much larger role in Transformers Dark of the Moon, than …
Pocahontas
I love the story of Pocahontas even in the book so when I had the chance to see the animated movie I really never missed it. I enjoyed watching it since it is a different kind of story and also it has a combination of reality and magic. I …
Dogtooth (2009 film)
“Dogtooth” is a masterpiece of the weird. This Greek art house film, a winner at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009, simply kept me glued to the screen for about one hour and a half and left me with a million questions.
I found the atmosphere of the film …
