I Know What You Did Last Summer
I didn’t have very high hopes in this movie so my expectations were very low. I didn’t think it would be possible to be any worse than I had imagined, BUT, I was wrong. First off, the movie is never scary to me. A man in …
Force Majeure (2014) - Movie
Force Majeure is the world-wide title of this Swedish comedy-drama. It has also been translated as ‘Tourist’ and ‘Avalanche’ and other titles along those lines in individual countries around the globe. It did well at the 2015 Swedish Oscars and took six Guldbagge: Golden Beetle Awards. I had no …
Thor (2011 Movie)
I didn’t go to this movie expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. With the resurgence of comic book movies this year, I guess I was feeling a bit burnt out, but this one is definitely worth your time if only for Chris Hemsworth’s movie-making performance.
I’m not a comic …
Dark Man movie
When I first saw Dark Man, I thought it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. After watching it a second time, I still think it\’s good, but have a less favorable impression of it.
The best thing I like about the movie is the concept. A scientist …

Avatar movie 2009
I saw the movie Avatar three times– twice in the theater in 3-D, and once at home in 2-D as a rental. I’d been looking forward to seeing it months before it ever came out. The big question always being: would it live up to all the hype? I …

If you have never seen the original movie name Dumb and Dumber starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, then you are going to be in for a treat as this movie is basically a prequel to that movie. This story tells the teenaged tale of how the two friends …
18 Year Old Virgin movie
Yeah, I should have expected as much. I decided to watch the movie 18-year-old Virgin in the hopes that maybe it would be a surprise “American Pie” like movie. Instead, it was a piece of garbage that wasn’t much more than a really bad porn film.
The movie has an …
Blockbuster Online
As far as advertisements go, I am perhaps the most skeptical. You would not believe my surprise at Blockbusters attempt at online rentals.
I actually love it.
I was already a longtime member of the video store chain. I tried the online rentals because it was a good way …
Woman’s World
Woman’s World is an oldie but goodie. The movie was made in 1954 and some might call it dated, but I watched this movie a lot growing up and really like it. I wish I could find it on DVD or that cable would air it.
The vehicle …
Breakdown movie

Big Momma’s House 2

Heath Ledger’s A Knights Tale
Heath Ledger was best at his old-fashioned roles I think. He could play the gentleman, the rogue, even the villain, but his most touching films are ones that he is dawning an old-fashioned tunic, and this is one of those. This was the first movie of his that I …

Stronger (2017 Biographical Drama Film)
For what it’s worth, biographical dramas are too often hard to pull off. Directors and storytellers need to be cautious with the underlying melodrama that this type of movies usually evokes. While it’s good for some viewers, experienced moviegoers looking for good or better films are going to be disappointed …
The Hunted (2003)

The Bloody Judge movie
I personally think that this is one of Christopher Lee’s better performances and movies out of all of his older movies. This is not only because his acting was good, but because I thought that the movie itself came with a lot of good qualities, such as a great …
Yentl movie
A film directed by actress Barbra Streisand about a young jewish girl who wants to become a priest. The problem is that only boys are allowed in this profession, so she simply dresses out as a boy.

A ma Soeur (drama movie)
As someone who has some interest in film, I always find it especially fascinating to read up on the accomplishments of female movie directors. I found the movie “A ma Soeur” as it is named in French by doing research on the French director Catherine Breillat. Between being curious about …
The Ugly Truth movie
The Ugly Truth is another one of those date movies. It stars Katherine Heigl of Grey’s Anatomy fame as the heroine Abby, a control freak working in one of those high-pressure, high-profile movie networks. The casting gets better, wow, the lead actor is Gerard Butler who ably …

Locked Up (NR, 2004) movie
Ohhh boy. I guess I should go ahead and warn you that this movie is a very low-budget yet hardcore German gay film. While not necessarily a pornographic movie, there are some rather explicit scenes, and one in particular that is really jarring to watch, no …
Odd Couple 2 movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Odd Couple 2, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. There are two movies in this series, and this is the second one. The first one is, naturally, called The Odd Couple, and it features a very young looking Walter Matthau and …

She’s The Man movie
*Contains Spoilers*
I have to start off and say this has been one of my favorite movies since 1) I saw it in the theater and 2) When it came out during this past 2006 Summer.
I have to admit that the movie is highly unrealistic on a few levels. One …
Star Wars: Episode 2- Attack of the Clones
Well, I can say one good thing about Attack of the Clones, it was better than The Phantom Menace! (I said that in my sarcastic voice by the way). First off, the relationship between Anakin and Padma is probably one of the worst relationships every put on …

Redbelt movie
I watched this movie recently on one of the movie channels. Overall it was a pretty good movie. Honestly I felt like it is a movie that has good things and bad things in it. One of the good things about this movie is it is a unique movie. …
Youth of the beast movie
This is an old Yakuza (japanese gangster movie) from the 1960s. Director Seijun Suzuki reveals a most violent movie for that age, which reminds a lot of John Woo movies from the 80s, so it’s clear where the inspiration came from. The cinematography is beautiful in color, the acting …
Bad News Bears movie
When I was growing up, the Bad News Bears movies were very popular. So, when the remake came out staring Billy Bob Thorton, I was skeptical.
However, after watching it for the first time, I have to admit it was actually entertaining and some parts of the film were actually …
Transformers (2007) movie
First I saw the trailer of the movie, and instantly I was impressed and knew its going to be a total entertainer with lots of action and CG. As soon as the movie started I was hooked to it.
There is a lot of stuff that worked for me and …
Titanic (Movie)
I love Titanic. I’ve seen the movie close to 30 times total since it was first released in 1998 and that includes the six times that I saw it in the theater. This is one of the few movies that made me want to learn more about the topic …
National Treasure DVD
There are a handful of actors and actresses that I truly enjoy watching perform and Nicholas Cage is one of them. I liked National Treasure the first time I saw it a few years ago. I like history and I like Nichols Cage so this was a …

Where Eagles Dare Movie
Where Eagles Dare with Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood, and Mary Ure.
How can a movie with Burton and Eastwood fail? It can’t. This duo of superstars team up to present a suspense filled film in the WWII genre. Burton is an undercover MI6 agent …
Zip.ca Movie Service
I have had a subscription to Zip.ca for about four months. I live in a rural area, so I like not having to rush into town to return movies as there are no due dates for titles as long as your membership is current.
I pay under $30 a …
Stepford Wives
I have seen almost all the movies of Nicole Kidman because she’s one of my favorite Hollywood actresses. So I was really excited to see Stepford Wives because aside from her, Bette Midler is also in the movie. Based on a book by Ira Levin and a remake of …
The Eye (Movie)
This movie is the American version of the original Japanese version’s The Eye, and I honestly think it was poorly done. The effects were much scarier and of course, the original movie was different from this one as it had omitted parts that were much scarier than by watching …
Friday the 13th (1980)
A serial killer is born in Camp Crystal Lake, a summer camp that is often times taken for a sexual getaway for teenagers and college students and even the camp counselors. The scenes take a dark and sinister turn when the sexual deviants go about their way and find …
Crazy Heart (Movie)
Any movies that receive Academy Award nominations tend to increase my expectations on what to expect when I finally do see them (I usually wait until they come out on DVD, rather than go to a theatre). So Crazy Heart was right up there with the other Best Picture …
