“How to Train Your Dragon” (2010 Film)
The 2010 animated family made film “How to Train Your Dragon” was in one word, delightful. The variety of characters, to the graphics, and story line, the movie was entertaining and perfect for a movie night with the family.

Cinderella, Movie (2015)
Many versions of the classic tale of Cinderella have been made and all follow the same storyline with little variation. ‘Cinderella’ (2015), is no exception, however with compelling characters and stunning visuals, I find myself enchanted by the movie. Although I was watching the same story that I’ve seen many …

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 …
12 Angry Men movie
The original 12 Angry Men is a movie I can, and have, watched over and over again. It’s a contained movie, all about the 12 men who are on the jury for a youth accused of murdering his father. We don’t see the trial. We see …
Halloween Resurrection Movie
Halloween Resurrection is what some people consider to be the end of the horror movie series. Technically they are right since it was the last film to feature the serial killer Michael Meyers from that particular series. Since then though we have seen Rob Zombie do his own version …
Vanished (movie)
If you�re a big fan of the television show Cold Case, then you may want to consider renting the movie Vanished if you haven�t seen it yet.
While the script leaves quite a bit to be desired, the movie and the intrigue it creates isn�t too bad. It�s not great, …
Christmas Vacation Movie
This is definitely the most successful movie of the Vacation series, at least in terms of popularity. One of the funnier Christmas movies out there, it has become a Christmas staple.
Personally I think the first one was funnier, but this one still brings in the laughs. Some …
The Pacifier
The Pacifier is a pretty funny movie. I thought it was funny seeing Vin Diesel star in a funny movie. We are so used to seeing him in action and violent movies. This was a nice anf funny change for Vin Diesel. I think that the film was OK, it …
Movie Transformers
Transformers was one of the most awaited films of 2007. And honestly, I wasn’t really that keen on watching it, maybe because I never was aware of the animated series in the 80’s. But because one of my closest friends really wants to watch it, I decided to come …
Brokeback Mountain movie
I was a bit hesitant to watch Brokeback Mountain because I’ve never really seen two men kissing or making love on screen. But with all the hype and critical acclaim that the movie received (along with several Oscar nominations), I just had to see it. So I rented a …
Children of Men
I watched this movie a few months ago. I was totally enthralled in the plot. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I wasn’t very impressed when they killed the main characters long lost love. I also found it to be a little more …
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, movie
Just by looking at the title, you can tell that this isn’t going to be a cinematic game changer. Dumb as it is, I can actually see the train of thought that led to this. What would happen to two kids who were terrorized by a witch …
Sleepless in Seatle (movie)
One of my favorite movies starred Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle. My son owns a copy of this movie and every time that it comes on TV I find myself surfing channels and settling on this delightful movie.
Tom Hanks plays this widower with …
Movie The Terminal
I read so much good reviews about this romantic movie that ended up with very high expectations while watching. While I must admit that Tom Hanks is simply great, this movie cannot be classified with a great romantic ending.It seems that even the director of this movie Spielberg was …
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is a fun movie to watch, but it’s not nearly as good as the previous movie, Godzilla vs. Biollante. This movie isn’t as dark as the previous two and actually features some campy scenes that are a bit reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s movies. …
SWAT movie
There are some movies that I could quote in entirety, line for line without any problems at all. One of these is the 2003 movie SWAT. This movie chronicles the rise of the a Los Angeles SWAT team made up of characters played by Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, …

Elizabethtown
I watched Elizabethtown the other night and I must say that on the cover of the DVD, Orlando Bloom looks so very much not handsome at all. But once I watch the story, I was like he’s the most sexiest and handsomest guy ever! That’s something like truly …
Garden State movie
Garden State is a wonderful movie that is not only well acted but beautifully done. My entire family loves this movie. Garden State is about a young man who comes home for his mother’s funeral. Andrew (played by Zach Braff) is a withdrawn, antisocial, pill popping guy who can’t …
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012 film)
We all have an iron memory of Disney’s Snow White, the animated film that conceived the enduring image of a wide-eyed princess garbed in puffed sleeves and beribboned hair. I know Snow White head to heels because I used to sketch her often in my notebooks as a …

Chloe Movie (2009)
Chloe is brilliant and enticing erotic thriller that reminds me a little bit of the movies in the 90’s, though is has more daring scenes and dialogue than the 90’s movies were ever allowed to have. The storyline is completely and deliciously unpredictable. It is full of …
Deep Impact
I’m not really big into Science Fiction, but this movie rocks! I could never get sick of seeing it. In case you haven’t ever seen it, here’s the basic plot. It’s about an asteroid that has a course headed straight for Earth. The part I find most interesting about …

This was a pretty fun episode. I enjoyed it and it …
Hall Pass (movie)
I didn’t find the comedy “Hall Pass” to be as hilarious as some reviewers made it out to b. To me it was moderately funny, which was much better than I expected a comedy starring “Owen Wilson” to be since I usually think his comedies are lacking in humour. …

I am reviewing The Last Vampyre, a Sherlock Holmes movie produced by Granada television in the 1990s. It stars Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. If you like Science Fiction, then this movie will appeal to you. In this movie, Holmes is …
Winter’s Bone movie
Winter’s Bone may depress you from the first footage. You see children happy and unaware of the dirt that surrounds them and in all this time their big sister “streamlines” their potato ratios.
The story is classic: a young woman is forced to grow their little brothers and her sick …
Julie and Julia movie
I literally had no interest in this movie when I saw it advertising to be released in theatres. In fact, I just assumed that it would be one of those movies that had one or two A-list actors in it that they promoted a lot, but would have no …

The Call of the Wild, film (2020)
On the whole, I liked this film. It is kind, heartfelt, sincere, and even touching in some places. But the plot is not devoid of sins, clichés, and too simple script decisions. I know that the movie is based on a novel by Jack London. Let me tell you right …
HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION movie
This movie is one of the halloween series with Jamie Lee Curtis. I watched the first one years ago and I enjoyed it. It had a realistic story about three teenaged girls who were interested in boys and clothes and the usual things. Michael Myers, a …

Zack and Miri Make a Porno movie

Spider-Man 3
In order to give proper respect to new and old Spider-Man fans, I feel it good to do a little review. Spider Man appeared on the comic book scene in the early 1960’s. Peter Parker wore nerdy eye glasses and was a photogropher for the Daily News. Harry Osborne …
Unrest (R, 2006) movie
This horror film is part of an 8-film Horrorfest (festival) and I must admit that it was part corny/part “good”. A group of medical students working on a set of cadavers discover that one of them is not actually “dead.” Of course there is a stream …
