50 first dates starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore is a nice romantic comedy and is a very good entertainer. The movie must be watched just for Adam Sandler’s comic sense and Drew Barrymore’s beauty. Henry sees Lucy in a restaurant and likes her at the very first instant …

Duplicity
I normally loathe watching or reading romantic books and movies; thus I had absolutely no intention to watch the romance comedy film Duplicity until one of my friends somehow managed to trick me into watching it with her. Unlike her promises that the movie would get better, I found …

Music Box
Only Laurel and Hardy could take a premise like delivering a piano to someone’s home and turn it into a forty-five minute film. It would take stars of their comedic stature to pull it off, and they do it nicely. Stan and Ollie are deliverymen. They are hired by …

Scooby Doo on Zombie Island
I’m not normally a fan of Scooby Doo movies that don’t follow the classic format of the ghost really being someone in disguise. But, I will say I did like Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.
This movie, which has Scooby and the gang investigating a haunting on a Louisiana Island …
Tim Burton’s 9 movie 2009
Here is one film I am just not sure how to take. It left me scratching my head. With it being from Tim Burton, I was not surprised to see a bizarre futuristic realm of robots made from scraps like rag dolls. I just don’t understand Burton’s obsession with buttons, …

Man of The Year
Man of the Year is a good comedy. From all of the trailors I thought they would actually let the comedian become president not that he would get the truth out in time. I enjoyed the movie I just think it would have been funnier the other way if …
Memoirs of a Geisha
Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …
“Little Drummer Girl” Movie (Drama)
“The Little Drummer Girl” as a film is perhaps to some not has compact in its storytelling as the best selling novel written by author John Le Carre. The adaptation of the novel to film does not reach the depth as to the audience member’s emotional response as …
Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, movie
On the off chance that you weren’t aware, these movies are kind of silly. The film makers know that the premise is ridiculous and just go all out with it. More often than not, it makes for an entertaining time.
The second one was a bit of a dud, but …
Taxi (movie)
Taxi is a movie about a cop undercover who teams up with a fast cab driver in New York to catch a bunch of women who have been robbing banks. First of all, a French movie of the same name has already been made that couldn’t have been worse …
500 Days of Summer (2009) Movie
When I saw Inception, I was really thinking about the actor who played Arthur. I really thought so hard until I remembered that he was Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the guy who was in the movie, 500 Days of Summer.
I saw 500 Days of Summer (2009) at home when I was …
The Glass House Movie
This movie had a really nice title, and I thought it had something to do with the mansion that’s all made of glass and as I expected it was, and the owners here in the movie are actually Mr. Terry (Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd) and Erin Glass (Diane Lane) who are …

Bleak House (2005)
Bleak House is one of those movies I can watch over and over again. I am speaking of the newer, 2005 version, although the older one, that of 1985, is also well done (it had been one of my favorite movies until the new one came out). This movie, …
Batman Begins
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Batman Begins, staring Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine. I for one am not a huge comic fan or anything dealing with super-heroes and what not, but I really enjoyed this movie. Christian Bale is phenomenal as …
Gravity (science fiction movie)
Gravity is one of those movies that I kept hearing from people that I had to see. I couldn’t really understand why either since I thought that the trailer didn’t really appeal to me much, and I’m not too fond of many of the movies that the actress Sandra Bullock …
The Duchess movie
I just finished watching this movie at home and I should say that I like the performance of Keira Knightley who does the led role of Georgina Spencer Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire. I think Keira did a marvellous job because she looks very elegant and beautiful in …

The Patriot (movie)
Of the Mel Gibson movies I’ve seen, I wouldn’t put The Patriot toward the top of the list. But, it is still a good historical fiction film to consider on a weekend when you want to feel a bit more patriotic.
The thing I like about this movie is it …

Daybreakers movie
Although I won’t go as far and say that Daybreakers was a bad movie, I was still quite disappointed in it when I watched it yesterday for several reasons. I was unable to understand why a few people I knew said they liked it too, when to me it …
Bonsai (2012 film)
Serious readers of literature would recognize Bonsai as the quaint novella from Chile that endeared the author Alejandro Zambra to literary critics in the west and transformed him to an eminent writer in his home turf. I had been an avid reader of Literature in Translation —“ foreign …
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, movie

Crossed Over
I watched this movie on lifetime just a few days ago. Overall it was an alright movie. I think it could have been a lot better. I usually love movies with Diane Keaton in it, she is a really good actress. This one though was a little boring. It’s …
Finding Amanda Movie
Finding Amanda is one of the latest movies in 2008 and since my friend works in the cinema theater, I managed to get a special sneak preview of this movie.

Alvin & the Chipmunks meet the Wolfman
While my daughter loved the movie Alvin & the Chipmunks meet Frankenstein, I don’t think she was a huge fan of the film Alvin & the Chipmunks meet the Wolfman..
Of course, part of the problem could have been the fact the rented DVD was a bit scratched up and …
Galaxy Cinemas in Peterborough
The Galaxy Cinemas is a great place to go to for the movies. It has the best environment. When you walk in, there are arcades and gamerooms in front of you. This is always great to have when waiting for the movie. Another key feature of Galaxy, are the …
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
With Temple of Doom, my rant was that it did not have enough of Raiders’ successful elements in it to make me like it the first time out. With Last Crusade, the opposite was true. It was too much like Raiders. Blatantly obvious was returning characters Brody and Sallah, …

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011 science fiction movie)
I actually delayed watching this movie for years for two reasons. The first was that I honestly didn’t think that it would be very good. I mean, how could a film about the other set of primates be that interesting? The second reason was that I’m slightly afraid of those …
Flight (2012 movie)
Flight was one of those movies that I wanted to see in cinemas initially but even when I had a chance to view it I was just too lazy to. Well recently I went about viewing it on blu ray and I was impressed even though I’m still confused about …
