Antichrist (2009) movie
My friend told me that this movie won the Cannes Film festival, and even though I did not do my research to find out whether that was true or not, he made it sound interesting enough that I was actually very eager to watch it. Therefore, I managed to …
Beauty and The Beast: Blu Ray Edition
One of my all time favourite child hood movies is Beauty and The Beast, so when it came out as a blu-ray edition over The Christmas period I jumped at the chance to be able to purchase it.
With the package came three separate DVD’s. The movie in …
Skyfall (2012)
Skyfall is an action film for the action hater. Wait! Action lovers, don’t turn away yet. It’s James Bond —“ of course this film has action. I’m saying it’s got more than just action. It’s got action and then some. That’s why I, the action hater, really enjoyed it. …

Relic is one of my favorite movies, though the book the film was based on is much better. The movie takes place entirely at a natural history museum in New York. One of the museum workers sends a relic that he found overseas back to the museum and it …
Night of the Living Dead
Even though it was made in the 1960s, there really aren’t many movies that compare in terms of actual horror to the classic film Night of the Living Dead.
I was watching it this morning for about the 10th time and have to say it is one of the most …
Wall*e
Wall*e is such a cute movie. I rented it for my kids the day that it was finally available on DVD.

Panic Room movie (2002)
This is probably director David Fincher’s most commercial film to date. Originally set to star Nicole Kidman, who had to bail on the project due to an injury on Moulin Rouge (and has a small voice-only role over the telephone in Panic Room), Jodie Foster fills in the …
“Jane Eyre” with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke
I have seen several movies based on this classic by Charlotte Bronte, and this 1983 version starring Zelah Clarke as Jane and Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester is, in my opinion, by far the best. The plot is very true to the book, and the two leading actors were …

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
Nowadays, the marriage issue centers upon gay marriages, with Supreme Court cases hearing issues from state cases on the legality of same sex marriages. Back in 1967, when Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner was released, the marriage issue had been centered upon interracial relationships. It was not by accident. …

Hansel & Gretel
I wanted a movie my entire family could watch last night and ended up loading Hansel & Gretel on my Netflix player.
While definitely not a kids movie (and a bit scary at times for younger children), this turned out to be a movie everyone in my house enjoyed.
The movie …
Rent movie
I was still in High School when the Broadway musical Rent became a success. I remember asking for the soundtrack for Christmas. It was one musical that I had always wanted to see but never got the opportunity to. Of course when I heard that Sony Pictures was bringing …

Narnia movie
I have just returned from seeing the long-awaited Narnia movie (”The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” based on the novel by C.S.Lewis). The movie was excellent!!

1408 Movie
I have seen a lot of scary movies in my life but I have to say that 1408 was very possibly the scariest. There are few movies I can think of, certainly made recently, that have so effectively scared the willies out of me. I was actually …
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 …
The Simpsons Movie
I like The Simpsons TV show, so I obviously expected to enjoy The Simpsons movie, and I was not disappointed. It was not the same format as a TV show - usually The Simpsons TV shows start out with one plot or problem, and end up being about something …
Wilderness (R, 2006) movie
If you think that this is going to be just another of those teen slasher flicks–you’re sadly mistaken. This film is ruddy, rugged, brutal, and suspenseful, all the to credit of the director, effects artists, and good actors. In reading the opening credits, I realized that …

Club Paradise movie
There are some comedies out there that will invest in well-known actors and actresses to sell the movie only to wind up being a disappointment when they aren’t talented enough to sell a weak script.
This was the case with the movie Club Paradise.
To be fair, Robin Williams has never …
Duplex movie
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 …
Harry potter and the Goblet of Fire
I’ll start this off by setting the record straight….sadly, I am a massive harry potter fan.. i Know sad at 18 years old isn’t it? But, as such i have read the books enough times to know fallacys in these films when i see them, and it seems that …
Bobby movie
The movie “Bobby” is obviously one of the most star-studded movies of all time, but it isn’t that the stars are famous, it’s that they are good actors. From long-time favorites like Anthony Hopkins and Lawrence Fishburn to knew favorites like Lindsay Lohan, Shia Labeof, and …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Let’s start with the concept of …
