Movies Reviews
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull
I don’t think I’ve written a review for this movie yet. I love any Indiana Jones movies. Love them all. I wish they were more like 007 movies with more installments, but I’m glad there are 4. I must admit though that this movie was slightly lacking. The original …
The Notebook (2004)
The Notebook is a classic romantic movie about a story from a notebook that an old man reads to an older lady. He often reads the same notebook to her as she is suffering from Alzheimer’s and cannot remember. The story that he reads to her is about …
Shoot ‘Em Up
I have seen other reviewers say that the title of this film pretty much says it all: shooting is what it’s all about. I disagree, somewhat. Yes, you will see lots of shooting: on the street, on a plane, in the air, and once in the middle of an …
Carousel movie
Just one year after Oklahoma, Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae reunited in Carousel, which is another classic movie musical. The chemistry was still there, though the ending is very different, in part by the nature of the story itself.
My favorite part of the movie, though, is the ending …
Inglourious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds
The movie industry has always been filled with historical fiction from its inception. Fanciful depictions of factual incidents has graced Hollywood screens for the better part of the last century. While Hollywood movies employ their share of historical advisors, movies are out to entertain, not to …
Night of the Living Dead (1990 Remake)
Gore maestro Tom Savani takes over directorial duties in this remake of Romero’s classic zombie movie.
There’s no monumental changes with this new version. It’s shot in colour, the gores a bit more impressive (but surprisingly much more played down considering Savani’s involvement) but there’s some tinkering about with …
Movie: “Brokeback Mountain”
Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain is a masterpiece that lingers with you long after the movie is over. I had read Annie Proulx’ short story of the same name four times before the movie reached my area. I’d been reading reviews since it was first released December 9, …
Death Note
I love Asian movies; I liked mostly the horror movies, the likes of “The Shutter, “The Eye”, among others. It was just recently that my brother has downloaded an anime series called the death note. It was a bit long, too long for me to actually sit down and …
Bright Star (Movie)
Bright Star is a 2009 British film made by the BBC, telling the story of the romantic poet John Keats’ love affair with Fanny Brawne. This is a costume drama of they type that the BBC make so well, with great attention to period detail, especially the costumes in …
Peacock (Movie 2010)
John Skillpa has been living alone inside his home for over a year. Everyone in the neighborhood thought so. But is he really alone in that house? Or was he hiding someone else?
Cillian Murphy (John Skillpa) scares us with a very bizzare behavior. Everyday, before the clock strikes 8 o’clock …
Fantasia/2000 movie
The IMAX movie Fantasia/2000 was a blast with my little cousins. I brought both of my 2 darling cousins to watch this IMAX movie, and since both of them are 4 and 3 years respectively, they giggled throughout the movie, and really enjoyed it so much.
My most favorite …

A Prairie Home Companion
I personally had a lot of hope for this movie because of the amount of publicity it got, the celebrities which were involved such as film star Lindsay Lohan and the actress Meryl Streep; and just the fact that our cable service provider even ordered the movie for its …
Movie: Zombieland
When I first heard of the movie Zombieland, I wasn’t planning on watching it. I figured it would be like every other horror movie spoof out there and would be a big waste of my time.
However, my wife did want to watch it and, after some argument, I caved …
Movie : Dolan’s Cadillac (2009)
When I saw this movie the firs thing that surprised me was Christian Slater was still acting. I was sure he had dissapeared into oblivion years ago, but based on his starrign role in the film he obviously still has a lot left to offer the cinema world and …
Happenstance (R, 2000) movie
When I saw Amelie, I was really really excited to know that there would be another film featuring Audrey Tautou, a brilliant impish actress. Happenstance is very similar to Amelie in that it deals with coincidence, and the complications/ ramifications following. The entire story in Happenstance centers …
Spy (2015)- Comedy Movie
Spy is a comedy movie written and directed by Paul Feig. Honestly, i was never interested in this movie but the only reason that made me watch it was Jason Statham. According to me he is the biggest attraction, though he is only present for few scenes but being his …

I love this story. When I initially saw it in the dollar discount movie theatre, I wasn’t sure what I …
McHales Navy movie
The retired old commander named McHale is recalled to the navy after his arch enemy takes over the Island San Marino.
Stupid, stupid movie that almost makes me laugh at how amateurishly made it is. Bruce Campbell is almost charming, but the fact is that he always appeared in second …

Ten Commandments
This would sound funny but my husband and I have watched this movie so many times now that we both lost count and we are not closing the possibility of watching this movie in the future. It is also our practice watching this movie everytime we use our …

LaFace Records

“Get Up” is the first single and music video from Ciara’s second album titled “Ciara: The Evolution”, it’s also featured on 2006’s “Step Up” Soundtrack. It samples 1984’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell in a very clever fashion as the song …
The Trip to Bountiful (1985)
This movie is so unusual, so unlike your typical Hollywood. Despite that, it has won an Oscar. A well-deserved Oscar, I must say.
Hollywood worships youth, beauty, riches. “The Trip to Bountiful” has a poor old lady for the main character, and the story focuses on her, from the beginning …
Movie Speed Racer
Don’t watch this movie if you have a migraine or sensitive to lights. I had a migraine when we first popped this in to watch and after 15 minutes had to turn it off I was so nauseous. The colors are so vivid and bright and then …
The Hurt Locker (2009 film)
The Hurt Locker is a film that I expected with great interest not only because of the quantity of praise given to it but also because it was the first film in a long while that was addressing the Iraq war. Kathryn Bigelow, world’s first female …
Twilight (2008) movie
This much anticipated movie based on Stephenie Mayer’s novel “Twilight” was a huge disappointment to me since I have read the book. I fell in love with the book when I first read it and couldn’t wait for the movie to come out when the book was said to …
Brewster’s Millions movie
I have seen the 1980s comedy Brewster’s Millions, starring Richard Pryor, a couple different times. But, the other day was the first time I actually got a chance to watch the original, black and white film. I have to admit, that older film was much better.
Basically, the plot was …
The Number 23 movie
A lot of people don’t like Jim Carrey’s comedy and, when he first hit Hollywood, people didn’t think much of him. However, his movie, The Number 23, shows a range of acting skill that might surprise a lot of people.
Carrey plays an animal control worker who is given a …
In Time Movie (2011)
If only there was enough time- time to work on the concept of the movie that is! While In Time is not built on an original concept, there were still enough interesting ideas that could have made it at least a good sci-fi movie. However, the lack of planning …
Feature Film “The Reaping”
I first saw this film when it came on tv. The subject seemed interesting and although I am not a Hillary Swank fan in any way I decided to give it a try because the plot sounded really different. Hillary plays a woman who was once a …
Columbo: A Bird in the Hand… movie
The story is average, a tale of a wealthy family with a black sheep who gets into gambling over his head. Then to get access to money to save his neck, the black sheep chops off the head of the family patriarch. This brings out Lieutenant Columbo …
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice
Jesse Stone: Thin Ice is the sixth and latest of the series. I have to admit up front that I’ve only seen snippets of the character in past movies. I’ve never managed to get through an entire movie. I’m not sure why because I do enjoy …

Project X (movie)
“Project X” is one of the most exciting movies I’ve watched since the beginning of the summer. Funny enough, even though I’ve been more interested in action movies, this is more along the lines of teenage and college humour. In fact, the movie was actually one of those teen …
Misery movie
Another film from a novel by Stephen King, this one considered as one of the most successful. The story is about a writer who’s involved in a car accident and seeks refuge at a woman’s house. She turns out to be a complete psychopath who is obsessed with this …
Teeth (UR, 2007) movie
I was a little taken aback by this subject matter, and perhaps you might be too, if you venture to watch this obscure horror film. Vagina Dentata is the latin term for a dreadful condition in which a woman’s vagina is lined with teeth - yes, real …
Spongebob Squarepants - Fear of a Krabby Patty
Both of my daughters, one who is three years old and the other who just turned one, are huge fans of Spongebob and his friends. We have quite the collection of his movies, and Fear of A Krabby Patty is one of them. I personally like to …

Transformers the Movie
we went to the theater last summer to see the movie that my son had comic books on from when he was a child. He used to watch the cartoon Transformers on Saturaday morning and like a lot of kids had the toys that went along with the …
