Snowpiercer (science fiction movie)
On reading some of the reviews for the 2013 movie Snowpiercer, it was easy for me to assume that the movie would not have been any good since it was heavily criticised by a lot of people. However, after watching it for myself I strongly agree that while it did …
Eden Lake - (starring Kelly Reilly)
Just one word to sum up Eden Lake that I’ve watched: gross. I don’t think that Eden Lake is a true story and if there are, who would in their right mind breed kids like those fanatic murderers and torturers in this movie story. I get disgusted by …

Murder by Numbers starring Sandra Bullock was worth watching once, but I just could not bare sitting through the movie a second time. The movie takes a fascinating look at a homicide detective struggling with her own demons as she attempts to solve a seemingly perfect murder plot. The …
Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street
When it comes to classic horror movies, I can’t imagine making a list of the best without including A Nightmare On Elm Street. Wes Craven gave audiences a whole new kind of killer when he unleashed the charred murderer into the dreams of teens in the mid eighties. …
The Transporter Refueled (2015) movie

Twilight Drive-In Theatre Langley, BC

Cast A Deadly Spell, movie (1991)

Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters (movie)
I might be a fairly cynical twenty-something right now, but there are some things that I find that I have not and probably never will outgrow. Two of those things are my love for superheroes and my love of fairy-tales, especially those that hail from places in Europe. When …
Ocean’s Thirteen
I am a big fan of the Ocean’s movies. I loved the first one, thought twelve was ok at best. I believe Ocean’s Thirteen is a return to form for the Ocean’s movies. The things I didn’t like about Twelve are fixed in this movie. …

I watched this movie on lifetime move network today. Overall it was pretty good. The actors were really good in it, and they had more than one actor that was good. A lot of times in the life time movie networks there are only one good actor in the …
Walk the Line
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon do a phenomenal job portraying Johhny Cash and June Carter. They even did their own singing, as I found out, which is impressive. They do a fantastic job with everything in this film.
Upon watching the commentary, I was pleased to discover that …
A Real American Hero movie
I wasn’t really sure what to expect from A Real American Hero, a 1978 TV movie about famed sheriff, Buford Pusser. Now this movie was done after at least two of the theatrical Walking Tall films with Joe Don Baker had been released to good success.
I’ve seen those …
Slither
In this movie story, Slither which I watched on DVD, Michael Rooker and Elizabeth Banks star together with some other casts. Michael plays as Grant while Elizabeth as Starla.

Amusement movie
I just went to see the horror movie “Amusement” three days ago and let me tell you, it SUCKS!!!

Film Terminator Salvation
More than anything, the trailers for this movie ruined it for me since they gave so much away. You knew going in that Marcus was a Terminator and you knew that he was a good guy who was never a threat to John Connor. But, the spoilers weren’t fatal …
Ice Princess
Some people do have talent but they don’t have the means. Others do have the means but they simply don’t have talent. This is the main storyline of “The Ice Princess” featuring the actress, Michelle Trachtenberg of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame in her on screen main role as …

Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf movie
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf is one of the outings that I always remember, probably because it featured two soap opera stars in the leads. It’s not that I’m a fan of either of them, as I’m not, but it’s just something I remember. The two actors are …
The Lake House movie
I’m usually not a big romance movie kind of guy but I do think Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock make a good film couple so I thought I would give Lake House a try.
Overall, I have to say it was a good movie, though it did remind me a …
“The green mile” movie
Making a film based on the novel by Stephen King is not quite easy. Frank Darabont, however, makes this perfectly, creates a delicious, challenging cinema, full of unexpected vertigo action and psychological analysis. Combining drama with fantasy does not sound appetizing. “The Green Mile” is an exception to the …
