Quickflix Online Movie Rental Service
At first I must admit that I thought the whole concept of renting movies online and then waiting for the movie to come in the mail, watching it then sending it back idea sounded a little bit stupid and very gimmicky. However, fairly recently I have had a problem …
Amusement, horror film by John Simpson
Direct to video horror movies tend to get crap now-a-days. There is a good reason for that. The film either follows the same foot steps as every other PG-13 rated horror film or it copies off of an original way too much. Amusement falls in both of these categories …

Wes Craven movie Red Eye
Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …
The Departed (2006)
The Departed hosts an all star cast of Hollywood’s best and most famous actors. Showcasing the corruption that has turned a police department completely upside down. If you have not watched this amazing movie before, trust me when I tell you, that you will not be disappointed! Suspense galore …
Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 Movie

Mirrors movie
Personally, I like this movie. Although it is another English remake of a Japanese movie, which I have not seen, the movie was still pretty impressive. The story line was good, although some aspects of the story needed to be explained a little better, or just explained at all. …
Scary Movie (2000)
This movie, umm, let me rephrase that, this comedy is a spoof of some of the movies that were released the months before this movie was released. It dares to poke fun at almost every movie no matter the content, if it’s a serious movie or not, nothing movie …
Ninotchka
I am a major fan of classic movies and I actually have a big VHS and DVD movie collection. Among those I cherish most is “Ninotchka”, the first motion picture where Greta Garbo laughed. It may not sound extraordinary, but it was, because Garbo was largely known …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
There aren’t many movies that I’m willing to spend the price of admission on. Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull is one of the few I am.
Quite simply, this movie is awesome. If I could afford it, I would go back again and again. I don’t …

The movie is full of medieval fantasy and magic as he tries to help a couple that is cursed. The woman is a hawk by day and the man a wolf by night, keeping …
Monsters vs. Aliens (2009)
I really enjoyed this movie. It’s advertised as kind of a “team” film, but it truly is Susan’s (Reece Witherspoon) movie.
The movie begins on Susan’s wedding day. As she’s heading into the church, she gets hit by a meteor which she actually absorbs into her body. …
Friday the 13th Part 5: A New Beginning (1985)
When will the saga end? That is the questing that keeps lingering on the lips and in the minds of the viewing public, me being one of them. For far too long the Jason serial killings in the Friday the 13th franchise been drawn out, done and redone to …

Transformers
When I first learned they were coming out with a live-action Transformers movie, my first thought was �Well, there�s another 80s TV show being ruined.�
From the previews, it looked like one of those films that would rely heavily on special effects and not offer much in terms of plot. …

Hard Candy movie
There are few movies which can frazzle me. I typically can shrug off any gore or suspense thrown my way. I’m not easily affected. However, every so often, a movie comes along that picks me up, slaps me in the face, twirls me around and then …

I watched this movie recently and I liked it a lot better than I thought I would. Helen Hunt plays in it, and if I am not mistaken I think she wrote it as well. She plays a teacher who gets a divorce and starts seeing one of her …
My Best Friend’s Girl movie
My Best Friend’s Girl from 2008 is a disaster. The only reason I watched this thing was because I noticed a listing in the credits for Patrick Swayze that referred to this movie. He was given ’special thanks’ along with a few other performers. I knew …

Halloween II, 2009 Horror film
It bothers me how bad Halloween II is. Rob Zombie took a good thing he had going with his first movie and just decided to messed it all up. At times the movie felt like an action flick with horror elements. Calling this a straight-up horror movie is a …
The Beach movie
I heard of the movie “The Beach” when I was in my second year of high school. I can remember that it was promoted a lot then and a few of my friends wanted to go and see it in theatres, especially the ones who had managed to buy …
Dark Shadows by Tim Burton (2012)
The last thing I want to watch in a movie is another self-defying Johnny Depp playing just about any grotesque role Hollywood throws at him. Well I wound up watching just that, and the current addition to Depp’s collection of fantasy characters is Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows. …
The Last King of Scotland
I just watched the movie “The Last King of Scotland” and was delighted. I saw the previews in the theatre about a year ago and looked forward to seeing the movie. However when it came to the local cinema I wasn’t able to fit it into my schedule and …
Beethoven - The Pooch Pack (DVD 2006)
All five movies it says on the box, well as this box set was released in 2006, this is no longer quite true because to my knowledge there is at least one more Beethoven movie to date.
Having said that Beethoven movies are really good fun and easy viewing for …
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.

The Hours (2002) starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, and Julianne Moore
I think “The Hours” has most of the ingredients I deem necessary for a good movie. It is one of my favorite movies made in recent years. There is strong character development among the three main characters: Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman), Laura Brown (Julianne Moore), and Clarissa Vaughan (Meryl …
License to Wed
For a while, comedian Robin Williams pretty much just slipped off the face of the Earth. Whenever he did have a good movie, it was more of a drama than an actual comedy. But, recently, he seems to have found himself again. First, there was RV, which turned out …
Movie: Wedding Slashers
My wife and I managed to get the kids in bed by 8 last night and, since today is Thanksgiving and I didn’t have to go to work, we ended up staying up for a change and watching a movie.

Final Destination 1 movie
This movie doesn’t really make much effort in building on the original, save for making the death sequences even more gruesome than its predecessor.
We open up on a new bunch of protagonists, this time lead by precognitive Kimberly who halts a stream of traffic after having a vision of …

Hotel Rwanda movie
Depicting the horrible massacre in Rwanda in the 1990s, this film features an excellent Don Cheadle as the man who tries to save as many people from being killed as he can. Unfortunately, the film focuses all to much on the mere sentimental parts, and leaves the audience practically …
Gone in Sixty Seconds, movie (1974)
Car chase sequences are an easy way to mix action and drama. To pull them off is difficult and require a team of professionals that can make the impossible possible. Bullitt, The French Connection, and The Italian Job showcased some of the most well-known car chases in …
The Flintstones
As far my concern it is one of the best classic cartoon series ever made by “Hannah-Barbara”. I am watching “The Flintstones” from my childhood, and till now I like to watch it. It is really different from any other carton show. It is a story about a stone …
Erin Brockovich Movie
Erin Brockovich is a movie which mainly depicts the secret of women power and how to utilize that to win over the struggle against the general issues of single motherhood in our male dominated society. Julia Roberts as “Erin Brockovich” was simply superb and mind blowing.
Erin Brockovich, a …
Hope Floats
I admit that I generally enjoy watching Sandra Bullock’s movie; however “Hope Floats” failed to impress me. I feel that there is something missing script wise which failed to make a good movie. I also believe that “Hope Floats” was another Bullock attempt to make a romantic movie tackling a …
