Killjoy
When I let my daughter pick out the movie Killjoy for me and my wife (she’s four and picks movies based on the cover) I was a bit concerned it would be too scary for my pregnant spouse.
As it turns out, you can’t judge a DVD by its cover. …

Silk
Silk is one of those shows that I watch and I get goosebumps. It feels like the man in the story is suffering and that he has to suffer just because of a passion. Perhaps if this happens in my community, we would think that the woman has …
Star Trek movie (2009)
I never really watched “Star Trek” when it was a series, because I didn’t understand it, and when I did try to take the time to I realised I wouldn’t understand it since it had been going on for years. Therefore, I didn’t like Star Trek because of those …

Happy Feet Movie
A blast from the very beginning! Happy Feet is a unique movie that kids can enjoy as much as parents. The lead characters are lovable from the get go, and have you rooting for them the whole way through. A small sidenote thrown into the movie about living in …
Columbo: It’s All in the Game movie
Columbo: It’s All in the Game is rather memorable for a couple of reasons. Of course, there’s the great portrayal of the lead character by Peter Falk, but that’s constant throughout the entire history of the series. Rather, the wonder of this specific episode is Faye Dunaway …

The Brother From Another Planet
If you’re looking for a really bad black comedy film from the 70s and early 80s, don’t hesitate to watch the 1984 movie The Brother from Another Planet.
Joe Morton plays “The Brother,” an escaped slave from a planet know as “Another Planet.” I think that was the best joke …
A of “The Social Network” (2010 film)
Since it’s looking like a strong contender for Best Picture at the next Oscars, and because it was the only movie I’ve actually been even moderately excited about seeing in a long time, here’s my review of David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” a film based on a book chronicling …
The movie Monsters Inc.
I think that like most people as a young child I was afraid of monsters. I remember lying in bad feeling so afraid because I thought that monsters were going to pop out of my closet and eat me.
It was because of those memories that when Monsters Inc …
Prometheus movie
The most anticipated film for nearly a year, and what did we get?
Well, many people have many mixed opinions of the film. Personally I found it quite good, though conflicting. The plot went well, and mixed in nicely with the very first Alien film that came out. I …

Donald Duck
There are many cute Walt Disney cartoon characters but I think Donald Duck is the cutest of them all. To those who are not aware his full name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck and his birthday was June 9, 1934. With his cutie bird head and a pair of …
Abbott & Costello Meet the Invisible Man
I like Abbott & Costello movies, even though they do get repetitive after a while. And, suprisingly, I’ve never seen the film Abbott & Costello Meet the Invisible Man; until last night that is.
As far as their movies are concerned, this one wouldn’t be among their best. However, it …

The Forgotten movie
The Forgotten was an alright movie. I remember watching this movie. I didn’t think it was the best movie ever, but it was still cool. I liked the story a little. I think that the whole alien abduction thing was pretty cool and I must say that I did enjoy …
Population 436
Once again, a movie I’ve never even heard about before turned out to be a pretty good thriller for our weekly movie night.
When I came across Population 436 on my movie channels Wednesday night, I had no idea what it was. But, I was a bit tired and didn’t …
From Paris With Love Movie
The movie From Paris With Love is filmed in Paris, a beautiful location. In the movie, a personal aide to the US Ambassador, James Reese (starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers) doubles up as a secret agent with the CIA. What he really wanted to do was to become a top …

Tropic Thunder (R, 2008) movie
I was a little surprised by how much I actually liked this film. I really thought that Robert Downey, Jr. in “black-face” would cause some issues for the director, producer, and actors. But it seems that perhaps people are seeing about this film what I …
Reign of Fire
Around the same time the first Lord of the Rings film, “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” was released in theatres, the movie “Reign of Fire” was also released. I can remember that as soon as I saw “Reign of Fire” being advertised to be released …

My Week with Marilyn Monroe (movie)
I’ve been into quite a lot of action films especially lately so it’s easy to see how a movie like this would have escaped my attention at first. I’m not even going to call myself a gigantic Marilyn Monroe fan but the little I’ve heard of her and just …
Bubble Boy movie

Short Cuts movie
Short Cuts is a film by Robert Altman that tells a complex story including several different people. These people’s lives are connected in some way, which they audience are unaware for most of the film. It’s very similar to the later film Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson. I don’t …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
I’ve been eying this movie since it was released in the U.S. last December. So, when it’s finally showed here in our area I did not hesitate to watch. Well, the trailer itself would give you some curiosity what is the movie all about. Actually, I haven’t read the …
Land of the Lost movie
I have a mixed feeling after watching Land of the Lost. In a way, I feel “lost”. There are some good parts in this movie and some not so good parts. It’s a funny movie with dinosaurs and many more exotic creatures that we will never be …
Once Bitten (1985)
This is yet another great vampire movie that has more comedic appeal than that of the horror kind. Starring a very young Jim Carrey, he is the object of desire by a female vampire. She targets him and is in the process of converting him mortal flesh into that …
Unfaithful film
Adrian Lyne’s UNFAITHFUL is a film not for the faint of heart. That is not to say that it is in some way gruesome or graphically gory. It’s sentimentally hard to watch. In UNFAITHFUL, Diane Lane’s character Connie’s motivation for infidelity is not thoroughly or intellectually explored. She appears …
The Bourne Ultimatum
In the past decade or so, there have been some pretty good actors. Both still famous and those who have fallen from the limelight. One of these actors to surface in the mid to late nineties was Matt Damon. He’s still an extremely successful actor and is the new …
Mary and Max (animation movie)
Mary and Max is a 2009 animation, comedy and drama movie directed by Adam Elliot. I recently had a great experience watching claymation animation movies, so I was looking for more. My search ended up on Mary and Max.
The movie proved to be a total disappointment. I hardly …
Not Another Teen Movie
Not Another Teen Movie is basically self-explanatory. It’s a spoof movie mixing the popular teen movies like Cruel Intentions, Bring It On, American Pie, and Never Been Kissed to name a few. The movie stars Chyler Leigh as Janey Briggs (who is portrayed as this stereotyped ugly and nerdy/artsy …

National Lampoon’s The Stoned Age
We randomly picked a movie to watch on our netflix player last night and ended up with National Lampoon’s The Stoned Age. When we started watching it, I figured it would be like that old movie Caveman, which was funny but pretty lame. It turns out Caveman was a …

Once again, this game made into a movie takes the viewers on a wild ride through the waste land of the future that has managed to spawn zombie like creatures. The main character as you will see as you watch this movie as it takes us through a slight …
Poltergeist - Supernatural Horror Movie (2015)
As far as horror movies go, Poltergeist is not a movie I’m planning to watch again. It’s a remake of the 1982 movie, Poltergeist, and from what I hear, the original is way better. Although I watched this in 3D in theaters, there were very few scares to boast of …
The Other Boleyn Girl (PG-13, 2008) movie
I was surprised that I actually liked this movie. Based on the crazy family of Henry VIII, this film follows the two women who vied for his heart. One woman is full of vigor and zest. The other woman is more tame. The tensions …
Play it Again Sam (1972) Woody Allen
Play it Again Sam is a 1972 movie directed by Herbert Ross, not Woody Allen himself, but it is written by and starring Woody Allen, as the highly neurotic film —˜Alan’. Although he did not direct this film, the humor is wonderfully neurotic Woody Allen at its best. …
