Happy Feet
From Memphis to Norma.. this movies got it all!If you’re a music lover then this movie is for you! It has all genres of music. The dialogues are witty and of course it also gets quite sentimental at times (pass me a tissue!), but overall its time and money …
I am Legend
I am Legend is a unique movie. Actor Will Smith, the main character, does an excellent job as always. The movie is about the of a military scientist you believes he is the last person on Earth not affected by a horibble mutated virus. Apparently he is immune to …
Bulletproof monk Chow Yun-Fat
This is a great light hearted action flick. I love Chow Yun-Fat as an actor and he was wonderful in this movie. I enjoyed the mythical martial art stunts of the characters. It is based on a comic book about a Tibetan monk who starts to mentor a young …
Lovelace (2013 Biography Drama Movie)

Virtual Girl movie
When I first saw the movie Virtual Girl, my first thought was it was going to be some sort of soft-core porn film posing as a thriller. But, I have had that impression of other movies before and, when I gave them a chance, I found them to be …

Dora: Save the Day movie
It really does take an entertaining cartoon to keep my daughter quiet for 30 minutes. The movie Dora: Save The day, accomplished the impossible, keeping her quiet for almost 2 hours.
All four episodes on the DVD were good, especially the episode that had Dora, Boots and Swiper trying to …
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens is the rising young star of Disney. Thanks to High School Musical, she is now a nation wide start. She can act, sing, and dance. That’s a triple threat for you. Recently, I’ve noticed she has gotten more womanly. She has more curves now compared to the …
Jupiter Ascending (2015)-Movie
Jupiter Ascending is a average yet visually amazing movie.When i say average i am still being a bit generous because i believe despite the fact that it is forgettable movie, still it is a result of handwork of creators.They organized everything perfectly for it but things didn’t worked according to …
This Must Be the Place (2011 film by Paolo Sorrentino)
“This Must Be the Place” by director Paolo Sorrentino is not a perfect movie. However, it is damn well close to being one.
Be cautious though, don’t expect too much of it. It’s not exactly filled with Oscar winning materials. It is more of a cult film, and it’s superb way …
Dead Like Me: Ashes to Ashes
Reggie goes goth in Dead Like Me: Ashes to Ashes, and I’m not crazy about it because she ignores her precious golden retriever, JD. While it’s a temporary condition, it simply turns me off. I don’t like animals suffering in any way due to human eccentricities.
The Daisy …
Art Of Revenge
Art Of Revenge is a Lifetime movie that starts off with a young, married couple who seems to have it all. Or at least that is what the movie producers want you to think. Art of Revenge started off, as I perceived the movie, with a whining wife and …
Total Recall 2070
I have watched most of the movies listed under Science fiction on Netflix, but had never seen Total Recall 2070, mostly because it was hard to imagine a sequel to a marginally above average movie without any of the cast returning, and made for television could be any good.
I …
Legends of the Fall (1994) movie
Legends of the Fall was directed by Edward Zwick. It stars Brad Pitt and Aiden Quinn as two brothers, with Anthony Hopkins as their father.

Freaky Friday (2003 Disney Movie)
I am not quite fond of Lindsey Lohan but in I admire her act in this movie. The swap between a mother and a daughter has been played by her pretty well. The story follows the same theme many Holiday stories have opted for so there is no uniqueness …

Begotten movie
An experimental and surreal film from the same director who made Shadow of the vampire, the film about the chaotic way Nosferatu was created back in the 1920s. Begotten doesn’t have a definable structure or narrative. As matter of fact it doesn’t even have any dialogue. It’s all about …

Passengers movie
I finally got a chance to watch the movie Passengers, which has been sitting rented from Netflix for about two weeks now. It was OK but not great.
Anne Hathaway should not do dramatic movies. She’s always got such a happy look on her face, even when she’s trying to …
Movie: Arsenic and Old Lace
Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my all time favorite movies. It is an old movie that features Cary Grant, who in my opinion is the best actor ever. He truly shines in this movie. In the movie, Mortimer Brewster (Cary Grant) takes his new bride back to …
Postal, comedy action film
Uwe Boll does not have the best track record when it comes to movie making. Boll’s reign of terror started with House of the Dead, his first video game movie that made people notice this German native. Things have been constantly going downhill but that is about to change …
2 Fast 2 Furious
After the success of the original box office smash, the Fast and the Furious, they chose to make a sequel true to hollywood fashion, 2 Fast 2 Furious. This movie doesn’t boast of the original story line like its original predecessor. And Vin Diesel elected not to take part …

District 9 movie
Before I went to see District 9 last Friday in the movie theatre, I actually had no idea what it was going to be about. I had seen the advertisements on television and I had known that it was going to be a Science Fiction film with aliens, and …

Disney was the pioneer of mixing live action with animation, way back when he produced Alice In Cartoonland back in the 1920s. This art form would be tried many times by many animators throughout cinema’s history, culminating in 1988s �Who Framed Roger Rabbit?� But between Alice and Roger rode …

Sleepy Hollow (1999 Film)
Who can forget the legend of Sleepy Hollow? And after watching the 1999 film “Sleepy Hollow” starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, the blood and gore of the film (and the headless horsemen of course) make it difficult to. Though this film was made in the 90’s, and technology …
Vamps (movie)
I watched the movie “Vamps” last night for the first time and I thought that it was one of the most interesting vampire movies that I’ve watched in a very long time. The funny thing was that I’ve never heard of the movie before last night, which is a …
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Director: John Singleton. Featureing: Paul Walker, Eva Mendes, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Cole Hauser.
I really loved that movie. It is a true blockbuster, filled with all the right ingredients- the cars, the well choreographed and impossible car races, the humour, the friendship and the beautiful woman. Worth watching.
It is …
I Confess,movie
This appears to be one of Hitchcock’s lesser known films. It tells the story of a priest, Father Michael Logan (Montgovery Clift), who hears a murderer’s confession and almost gets accused of the murder himself because he cannot reveal what he was told in a confession. The murderer is …
Bee Season
After embracing Buddhism, the actor Richard Gere is getting very attentive which movies to be involved in. In all honestly, I am not surprised that he chose to particate in “Bee Season”. The biggest surprise was that this is not a Gere or Juliet Binochet movie, but solely a …
Living The Dream
Another drama movie that I have watched would be Living the Dream. This is about making a change in life kind of story, but having some form of hindrance at the same time.
It tells about Brenda, and Jonathan, an immigrant person. Both of them grew up from …
Mr.Woodcock
Another one of our girlfriend day movies, was Mr.Woodcock. This was my favorite movie of the day. Billy Bob Thorton and Sean william Scott were fantastic. This movie was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while. I laughed throughout the whole movie almost non-stop. Of …
The Franchise Collection Riddick Trilogy
One of the great things to come out of DVD marketing in recent years is the the franchise collection, collecting numerous movies in a particular franchise and offering them all in one box at a cheap price. For example we have here the Riddick Trilogy, which provides us …
Wedding Crashers (2005 Movie)
This is one of those cute, quirky movies where you know there will be a couple of cheap laughs and a sappy, happy ending. It didn’t disappoint me. I actually found that it was better than I expected it to be - the characters were a bit more real …
The Marsh movie
I always get a bit nervous when I rent a movie I have never heard about before; especially one that advertises itself as a thriller. After all, you never know what you’re going to get and it’s even harder to guess if you don’t have any previews to work …
The Hunt (drama movie)
I made the decision to watch the movie “The Hunt” without knowing much about the plot. I didn’t even watch the trailer like I would do with most movies that I’m interested in, and I’m glad I didn’t because it was so much more interesting and thrilling that way. It’s …
I Don’t Know How She Does It Movie (2011)
I just have to say I don’t know how she does it- how does a talented actress like Sarah Jessica Parker gets herself in those awful, overly produced, overly censured movies every single time. I don’t know how she does it movie might have been based on an interesting …
FLCL
The anime series “FLCL,” short for “Fooly Cooly” or “Furi Kuri,” is an artistic amazement. The storyline is a little unclear, being a
three-way battle between main characters, but deliciously abstract and humorous. The plot’s hyperactive pace, and features that catagorize the series as anything from comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi …
The Fabulous Dorseys movie
As a child, I remember watching The Fabulous Dorseys, a 1947 motion picture, all the time. It was constantly on late night, and as a night owl, it was something I saw quite frequently. With the advent of cable, I haven’t seen it even once.
The Fabulous Dorseys …
The Accidental Husband
The Accidental Husband is a movie story that I’ve watched before starring Uma Thurman, Colin Firth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The story is something like a romantic comedy and Uma’s acting is pretty commendable here.
I’ve always thought that she fits serious roles when acting but this story proved me …

40 Days and 40 Nights
I was expecting Josh Hartnett to shine in the DVD movie, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Don’t get me wrong; Josh is a darling and he acted really well but the storyline is a real bummer for me.
It starts off with Josh character, Matt being dumped by his super …
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, both the movies and the books. I was disappointed when the film showing was moved to this year but was still excited for the 6th installment of the novel by JK Rowling.
