Movie: BioDome
Synopsis: Two underachievers break into a bio dome and are locked in for one year.
What I liked about this movie: This is actually a pretty decent film about our environment. The two men don’t care a thing about protecting the environment and end up causing chaos wherever they are, …
Iron Man Movie
I generally enjoy the superhero movies, but this one has something extra. It’s more realistic for those who just can’t get into the far-fetched fantasy scenarios of X-Men or Spider-Man. It doen’t try to be overly serious, nor does lack depth. It’s a perfect combination of sweet action, …
Pleasantville movie
‘Pleasantville’ It’s one of those marvellous old movies which are worth watching a couple of times. The idea behind the plot seems almost like a clichee two teenage siblings: calm and inhibited David and his neurotic sister Jennifer, are transferred by the weird godlike figure …
Movie: Autopsy
When I started watching the movie Autopsy last night, I figured it would be one of those films with a lot of blood and gore but would still be somewhat interesting. Instead, there was blood and there was gore but the movie was one of the dullest I have …
Crank movie
Who’s in It: Efren Ramirez, Dwight Yoakam, Amy Smart, and Jason Statham.
In the movie crank, a professional hit man is injected by this stuff that they call ?The Chinese S?t?. But the thing is that he has to keep his adrenaline up or he dies. Through out the movie …
Thunderball
How many James Bond movies are there now? Like five hundred, six hundred, seven thousand and seventy two? I know there are a whole lot, and probably a whole lot more to come. I admit, I haven’t seen very many James Bond movies. Some of the ones I have …
Cranberry Christmas
I’m a sap for holiday tradition, and that includes all the animated classics. This year, Ocean Spray bring us a new cartoon with a Christmas theme. Entitled “Cranberry Christmas”, the cartoon is based on a popular book of the same name. What I like about it is …
Snakes on a Plane (movie)
I love creature movies, those scary movies where some giant animal or a bunch of tiny ones run rampant and gobble up a bunch of people. They often are free of blood and gore (something too common these days in other types of horror movies) and are just scary …
Resident Evil: Afterlife Movie (2010)
I saw this movie at the theatre today as my brother said it was really cool and great; the movie was only 1 hour and 40 minutes but somehow I felt it was longer. This movie features Alice (Milla Jovovich) going to Japan to finally confront and destroy Umbrella …
9 to 5 by Dolly Pardon
9 to 5 is the first song that I personally remember hearing Dolly Pardon perform on TV. I saw the movie a few years latter when it came out and just about died laughing. It has a way of demonstrating the male stereo type of so many bosses. It …
Code Name: The Cleaner
These kind of movies, when done well, are excellent movies to see. When done poorly, they are a disaster. There is no middle ground with these kind of movies. With Code Name: The Cleaner, we have a fast-paced, twisting plot that kept me guessing around every corner, as Cedric …
Aliens, Guns & a Monkey
Aliens, Guns & a Monkey is a pretty fun episode of Tripping the Rift. For this episode the crew of the Jupiter 42 set ground on a planet that is completely in love with guns. This of course sets off a lot of talk about the morality …
The Substitute
I am reviewing the movie, The Substitute starring Tom Berringer. This movie is about the horrors of teaching. When Tom Berringer’s girlfriend gets attacked by a group of students, he decides he’s going to step in and take charge as a substitute teacher. What he deals with are …
The Wrong Man dvd
Well when you see the likes of Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman & Ben Kingsley starring together in a movie you’re sure it’ll be good. I have to say that the jury is still out ‘ the acting was great, the storyline was really good and even I …
The Devil’s Foot
I am reviewing The Devil’s Foot, a Sherlock HOlmes episode from the boxed set, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced in 1984 by Granada television. This episode finds Holmes in need of recooperation. He and Watson travel to a remote place with the intent on …
Murder by Numbers (2002)
I rented this movie mostly because of Sandra Bullock, she is always good. She was good here as well, although the character she plays, a homicide detective Cassie Mayweather, is somewhat unlikable. Cassie’s personality appears to have been permanently damaged by a brutal attack in the past, one that …
Alice in Wonderland 1951 Movie
Alice in Wonderland was one of those older Disney films that I never really understood as a child. Even now, as an adult, I still have some problems understanding the themes or what exactly is happening in the movie at certain times. The original film was released in 1951 …
The Running Man (1987 film)
I forgot how cheestastic this movie was. It’s an 80’s Schwarzeneggar film, so it’s not all that surprising, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.
Ahnuld plays Ben Richards, a soldier who is framed for mass murder after defying orders to fire on innocent civilians. He’s forced …
Sucker Punch (2011) Movie
It is odd that I read the synopsis of a movie, get interested in it and then watch it, only to be disappointed in the end. The synopsis for the movie on Netflix calls it a “mind warping action thriller”. Then on top of that very attractive statement it …
Robin Hood: Men in Tights movie
I love Mel Brooks movies and I have to say Robin Hood: Men in Tights has to be his very best film.
Cary Elwes puts on a very good performance as Robin Hood and, even though this is a parody, may actually be the best Robin Hood I’ve ever seen …
Iron will
Iron will is about a boy named will who gives it his all in a dog sledding race because his needs the money to survive. His dad is dead so he also is the man of the house and that means if he wants to do something he …
Hatchet
Hatchet is a horror movie about a group of people on a tour boat who become stranded in the middle of a swamp and run into a deformed murderer. The plot is pretty straightforward. It is typical horror movie fare. I think that anyone, when renting a movie …
Private Lives of Pippa Lee film
I was really pleasantly surprised by this film. I watched it on my Virgin on Demand service - I was basically browsing for an easy, fun, romantic comedy and thought this fit the bill from the description.
It’s not just a ‘chick flick’ or your predictable Romcom though.
First off, our …
Monsters versus Aliens
We got a chance to watch the movie Monsters versus Aliens this past weekend. When we did, I figured it would be something our daughter would like but I didn’t expect my wife and I to be entertained too.
There is a great cast of voices ranging from Reese Witherspoon …

X-Men Origins Wolverine
I was eagerly looking forward to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. After watching it, I have mixed feelings. Oh, it was exciting, and visually spectacular, and the characters were all really interesting. It was nice to see so many new mutants with so many new powers. I liked that …
Black Swan Movie
2010 has not been a great year for movies. When the pickings are slim, you immediately notice the movies that get gleaming reviews for outstanding performances and innovation. Black Swan has been such a movie. It is difficult to avoid seeing the various ads and reviews for this film. …
BUTTERFLY EFFECT MOVIE
How many of us have ever wondered, if we had made a different choice over what seemed a tiny thing, spontaneous things just done; would life be different for ourselves and, also, for others? I know I have. THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT is ALL about how one man manages to …

The Movie Sleepy Hollow
When I was in middle school Sleepy Hollow was the movie to see. Of course, it was not necessarily a movie that middle school children should have watched but that did not mean anything to us then. All most of my friends and I wanted to see was Johnny …

Coraline movie
If you have never seen the movie Coraline and you have kids, I definitely recommend that you get this film. It is just a delight and I love it to pieces! A friend gave us a copy of this movie and even though we have no children, it was still …
Hulk (2003)
Here is another example of why Hollywood should stay as far away from comic book remakes as possible. This movie is so bad, it makes ‘bad’ seem like a candy bar. At first when the movie started, I was all geared up to enjoy Hulk style destruction similar to …
Constantine Movie
In the name of all that is horror…don’t waste your time or money with Constantine. It’s a joke, no, less than a joke, it’s utter rubbish. Keanu Reeves has gotten to be a tired, boring actor who NEEDS to add some spice to his roles/characters. The plot of the …
Sin City
Sin City the movie is directed by Robert Rodriguez and is based on hot comic novels by Frank Miller. Rodriguez brings to life the work of Miller and is not like any movie I have ever seen. The cinematography is brilliant and artistic. Most of the movie is shot …
Film 300
300 with Gerard Butler.
This was an epic tale full of action - both live and animated. I have watched this movie at least ten times and find it exciting every time. King Leonidas and his 300 Spartan warriors go up against Xerxes with …
Little Voice Movie
Little Voice is a film that really touched me.
Called LV by her mother, Little Voice is a nearly agoraphobic young woman whose only contact with the outside world is through old record albums that had belonged to her beloved deceased father. They are her escape from …
‘Star Trek Beyond’ 2016 movie
In 2009, Paramount decided to reboot the long running “Star Trek” franchise with a new series of movies that scrapped the previous continuity and showed us a younger, less experienced Enterprise crew.
The results were largely positive, though it had its detractors (especially those who had been life long “Trek” fans.) …
Lost Boys: The Tribe
My boyfriend loved Lost Boys so when Lost Boys: The Tribe came out on Tuesday we made a trip to Wal-mart to get it. The DVD cost around $20.
First of all I’ll start with the cover. It is neat. You look at it in one …

The original release date for this movie was September 25, 1998 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Thriller and stars Robert De Niro …
Haunted Mansion (2003)
Honestly, I just find Nathaniel Parker cute that’s why I finished this movie and wishing I had been Marsha Thomason just to snatch that role. Yes, this is a funny movie but I was wondering why Walt Disney Pictures, or anyone else who has been part of making …
The New World Movie
Last night I was able to walk down to the local movie theatre and view “The New World.” This was a film I was pretty excited about to see because it was rarely released to local theatres, plus Christian Bale was in it.
Well, I don’t drink alcohol, but …
Dad Savage movie
The film begins when a car crashes through the floor of a desolate house. Five people find themselves in the basement, but how did they get there and why?

P2 (R, 2007) movie
I had heard about this movie coming out in movies. But I deliberately skipped over it. I thought to myself: How in the world can a movie about a parking deck be scary? How is this going to go over, I asked myself. …

Thumbelina was produced by Golden Films and released directly to video in 1993, as part of Golden Films’ second line of “animated classics” produced by Diane Eskenazi. The animated film follows the adventures of little Thumbelina in her quest to reach the prince of the little people and …
Max Payne movie
I really enjoy watching Mark Wahlberg’s movies because he manages to come up with a different and exciting project every time. I must also admit that —˜Max Payne’ failed to impress me because it is not the kind of project one can link with this actor. It seems that …
We Are Marshall Movie
We Are Marshall starts out with the tragedy of Marshall’s football team in 1970 (for those of you who don’t know, the plan crashed killing all but four of the football team, as well as most of the coaches and football staff, some parents, and fans, a total of …
