Growing up as a teenager I loved reading books that were written by the author V. C. Andrews. I was always fascinated by the plots and the female main characters of her stories, even though she’d been dead for longer than I’d been around. While there were always new …

Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock have never even made it to my list of favorite actors. Nor have their movies ever made such an impression on me. I had to force myself to watch The Proposal because I literally had nothing better to do and I totally missed watching …

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It is about a man who has the power to do whatever he wants with time - such as freezing it, fastforwarding and so on. Again, Adam Sandler does a fantastic AND a funny job. It’s …

Martin Scorsese won me with The Departed and continued his amazing streak of great movies with Shutter Island-a psychological thriller motion picture for which I thought that I literraly watched in one breath although throughout the film I was usually out of one.
Tedy Daniels …

“Juno” is a 2007 film directed by Jason Reitman, and starring Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman. This is a really good movie about a mouthy but obviously smart teenager who becomes pregnant and has to navigate through all the possible courses of action she …

I took my girlfriend to see this film about two weeks after it opened. The theatre was still packed. My buddy had said so many positive things about this movie, and highly recommended it. So, My amazingly beautiful girlfriend and I made our way into the dark movie theatre, …

I wanted to see this movie for a long time as I like dinosaur movies and it turned out to be rather decent! Yes, it’s not exactly another Jurassic Park but the movie has a solid enough plot and the pterodactyls looked pretty good. The only real hitch is …

I must admit that “Duplex” is definitely one of my Ben Stiller’s favourite movies, even though it was a cinema flop. I believe that Ben Stiller and the actress, Drew Barrymore make a great on screen couple and you simply cannot watch this movie and end up not having …

This is either a movie you’re going to love or you’re going to hate. As such, it’s understandable why this movie got mixed reviews. What I had read had been more positive than negative so I went ahead and picked it up on DVD (this was before …

Action-packed and fast-paced. If that’s what you are looking for, you wouldn’t be disapppointed. The movies moves at a breathless pace through a rather convoluted plot about some ancient secret society wanting to destroy the fledging United States of America. The plot hinges on transporting some explosives to the …

After the original came yet another spectacular movie. It’s actioned packed that kept me on the edge of my seat right through. Did I mention the action? There is alot of action in this one…alot of action. Blade got the stuffing beat out of him and I enjoyed it, …

Premonition is one of those strange movies that nearly everyone hated, yet I really liked. I wouldn’t say that it’s one of my favorite movies, but I liked it enough to buy it. Unlike other movies where you have a hard time believing that the two leads are interested …

I am reviewing the Disney movie, Robin Hood. Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood, but what would happen if it was taken from a fox’s perspective? That’s what the whole Disney version does. Robin Hood is a fox and his friend, Big John, is a huge bear. The …

‘The Duff’ is a teen comedy that took me by surprise. I expected the movie to be terrible as most teen comedies are repetitive. This movie wasn’t unique but it took the usual storyline and made it wonderful.
The story is about a teen named Bianca who isn’t exactly what many …

As a kid I used to love watching Sesame Street, somewhere along the way I thought I outgrew it. It wasn’t until I had kids of my own that I realized you never get too old to watch Sesame Street!
While trying to find something to entertain my daughter …

This might be an old movie, but it is probably one of my absolute faaaavorites of all time! I have watched this movie at LEAST once a year since I was born, probably.
For anyone who does not know what the Wiz is, it is essentially the Wizard …

Jaws is still one of the greatest action and greatest thriller movies off all time. I had not seen this movie in a LONG time and was curious to see if it still held up as a great movie. Well, it does. Sure, Jaws himself looks …

Not the one to come out earlier this year, but the original 1950s movie with Vincent Price. I believe it was the first film shot in 3D tecnique, but of course that loses its effect if you don’t watch it with 3D-glasses at the theatre, which I didn’t do.
The …

I have to say that the first thing I noticed about this second entry in the movie’s Miss Marple mystery movie by Agatha Christie is the very bright and campy musical theme. It’s just so bubbly and merry that it seems like follows should be more of a …

If you guys have watched Love of Siam, a Thai movie with English subtitles, you would feel exactly like me. I wouldn’t say what the plot story main gist is all about but I was very surprised about the love sequence in this movie. I would say like …

Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time, this one even beats being caught with your pants down. This is a case of mistaken identity that caused an innocent man to be incarcerated in a highly securely penitentiary where he is charged for murder. He didn’t …

The Traitor actually holds your attention throughout the almost two hours of the movie. From the previews and adverts on Tv, it seems like Don Cheadle is a “bad-ass” with some “superhuman skills” that he can turn on at anytime. Well let’s just say that that image was hyped …

A couple of years ago Marvel announced that it was going to be producing animated film versions of many of its comic books, which would be released straight to DVD. The Invincible Iron Man is one of these animated films.
In terms of the plot, anyone familiar with the …

While all of the “X-Men” films have been great, and entertaining to watch as well, the latest 2011 film, “X-Men: First Class” really just tops the cake. To be able to see Magneto and Professor X along with Mystique and a few other mutants we all have gotten to …

When this movie came out in 1997, I had never even heard of the small child that was being portrayed in the film. I was informed by my mother that the movie was based on the 1956 movie about the return of the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna. It …

Private Buckaroo is a kick to watch for the most part. Of course, you have to be into the antics of the day, which in this case is circa 1942 when the film was released. For example, if you like the harmonies of The Andrews Sisters (that’s Patty, …

Renee Zellwenger had to increase about 25 lbs. in order to interpret the role of Bridget Jones. Even though she felt a lot chubby, her sacrifices were all worth it in the end. “Bridget Jones Diary” was a smashing hit and definitely her most successful movie!
So why “Bridget Jones …

Seth Rogen is my all-time new hero. I love that he’s shlubby, because his dry sense of humor makes him seem more attractive than he actually is. In any event, this is the whole premise of the movie “Knocked Up.” Catherine Heigl portrays Allison, …

Before last year I had ever heard of this film. In fact, when I first saw the title of it on the televsion guide I had mistaken it for a romance movie which I think might have been set in the mid nineteenth century. However, when I watched the …

I have waited a long time for someone to make a DragonLance movie. I would have preferred a live-action film but this movie is animated. Still, it follows the novel pretty well. This movie is not perfect but it is very viewable, especially if you’re not too fussy.

No introduction to actors Ed Harris and Jude Law are ever required. Enemy At The Gates, in my opinion, is often an overlooked masterpiece. Based on real life events during World War II, the movie centers around the battle for Stalingrad between the Germans and Russians. Master sniper …

I had no desires from this movie before its release. I thought it was like the other childish movies in the market. When it got such astonishing ratings from critics, I couldn’t help myself from not watching it. However, subsequent to watching it, I would say I wasn’t right about …
