The Talented Mr. Ripley
I’m not a big fan of Matt Damon (although I love him in Bourne Identity), but he was very good here in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Directed and written by Anthony Minghella and set in Italy amidst a
luxurious setting, The Talented Mr. Ripley is the story of Tom Ripley …

My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997 Movie)
I just watched my Best Friend’s Wedding again - I haven’t seen it since it came out. The initial thought that struck me was omigod! the clothes. I had to watch this just to remember what the clothes looked like and how giant cell phones were back then. (Seriously. …
Fargo (1996) Movie
Based on the synopsis of this film by Joel and Ethan Cohen, I would not have bothered with Fargo, but a friend whose opinion I trusted recommended I watch it and it is now one of my favorites. Set in wintry Minnesota, William H. Macy plays a dodgy …
Movie We own the night
“We own the night” is simply great film with all the right things to become a sensation. This film was directed by James Gray who was also the director of the “The yards”.
The story of this film takes us to Brooklyn in 1988 where two brothers lead two complete …
Once (2007 Musical Film)
I have seen plenty of musical films that take the generic route but not this one, the music is the real heart of this movie. The characters and the plot revolves around the idea of making good songs that will move the audiences without asking them.
I was moved watching this …
School of Rock
I don’t normally like the actor Jack Black in movies, and I don’t normally like his movies either. In fact, one of the few which I remember liking was “Saving Silverman”. This is why I found it so difficult to watch the movie “School of Rock” after it was …

Gran Torino movie
I am reviewing the movie, Gran Torino, starring Clint Eastwood. This movie was made in 2008, and was produced and directed by Clint Eastwood.
Clint Eastwood plays a Korean War vet named Walt Kowalski. He is a cranky, irritable old man who has little time for the people …
Movie Skinwalkers
Skinwalkers is quite possibly the oddest movie I’ve ever seen, and given the amount of strange and unsettling horror movies I’ve seen over the course of my life, that’s saying a lot. I first saw the movie advertised on another straight to video horror movie release, and the ad …
Ice Age
Pixar has set a whole new standard in animated films. Ice Age is not a Pixar movie. However, I stilled enjoyed it greatly despite not having the Pixar tag on it. Ice Age is great animated movie in my opinion. It is very funny throughout the …
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.
This film has a lot of issues. To begin with it tries to …
Movie: Furry Vengence
As I mentioned in another review, my daughter convinced my wife to get movies from one of those movie kiosks this past weekend (they just don’t seem to understand we have Netflix for a reason). Since she got two movies for the price of one, my wife decided to …
Mean Girls Movie (2004)
After Jawbreaker and Clueless, another girlie chick flick came out in the title of Mean Girls. This was released in 2004 and it stars Lindsay Lohan (Cady Heron), Rachel McAdams (Regina George), Amanda Seyfried (Karen Smith), Gretched Wieners (Lacey Chabert), Janis Ian (Lizzy Caplan) and Damian (Daniel Franzese).
The movie …

Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is one of my cartoon collections. I love the story so much and I got entertained watching it. I love how the story was made. It was a story of a real parental love. As a watcher I find it a very meaningful animation story. I have …
Lion (2016 Drama Film)
Some movies are really made to catch awards attention. They often fail because the process becomes terribly inorganic, instead of telling a good story, they somehow focus in smaller details in the film - and while on paper it sounds good, the end material is always somewhat disappointing. Take for …
Kick Ass: Movie
Kick-Ass is one of my favourite films to come out of the last couple of years, mainly down to how unique it is and its fascinating analysis of a wannabe superhero.
This superhero is just an ordinary teenager, and the story shows that. You get a good back story to …
The Day After Tomorrow
Director Ronald Emmerich has given us some of the most adored Hollywood blockbusters such as Independence Day and Godzilla but his new venture “The Day After Tomorrow” is not up to par with his earlier work. In this flick he uses the most sought after object of the present …

City of Joy film
Directed by Roland Joffe, City of Joy is a poignant film that touches the heart and even the very fabric of our souls. I’m not one who tends to enjoy a lot of in depth films that take place in other countries, but this tale of an American …
Bride Wars Movie
The movie stars Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Sometimes, when I am tired or depressed, I need a good laugh and one of the method that I invoke to have this is to watch feel-good movies. Sometimes cartoons help me with this therapy but I scout for movies like …
King of Kings movie
I’m one who enjoys a good religious holiday film, and one of my favorites is King of Kings from 1961. This is a remake of the silent classic and stars Jeffrey Hunter. I adore Hunter. He was an incredible actor who could draw me in to …
The Scret Window (movie)
I love Johnny Depp and I think that he is just a re3ally versitile actor. He can play all sorts of rolls and keep you involved with the movie. I also like Stephen King as an autor and the combination of a Stephen King novel and a …
Bruce Almighty (2003)
This is a ludicrous comedy from the outside but a heresy from the inside. Many Christians who are adept with the Biblical principles will definitely not agree with some ideas presented in this movie concerning God and his being. I admit some scenes here are really funny like when …
The Twilight Saga: New Moon movie
I like the concept for New Moon, the second movie episode of the famous Twilight saga based on the Stephenie Meyer bunch of vampire novels, which are causing such a stir in the movie and literary worlds. The reason for the New Moon title is that Bella, the …

Carnage comedy movie
“Carnage” is a 2011 comedy, arthouse type film that is actually based off of a play. I saw the trailer at my local independent films theater, and it definitely looked like something that interested me. After watching it last night, I must say, I was not disappointed! It may …
Where The Heart Is
Where The Heart Is is a lovely little movie about a girl who has a baby in an Oklahoma Wal Mart. What a place to start off in the world! Natalie Portman’s character, Novalee, goes into Wal Mart to buy slippers and when she comes back out to the …
Bridesmaids (movie)
One fairly interesting movie that I watched in the early part of 2012 was the movie Bridesmaids. It starred a quite a few of Saturday Night Live’s most recent cast including one of my favourites who has been in other movies that I like, Maya Rudolf. I’m not the …
Big Daddy (movie)
In Big Daddy, Adam Sandler’s character, Sonny, is dumped with Julian, his friend’s child. Julian, the little boy, has a lisp and needs lots of attention. Sonny is definitely not a parent, he�s just a guy who tip toes through his life. Sonny really doesn’t have much going on, …
The Holiday DVD
During Christmas time, I had decided to buy The Holiday DVD for my friends since I loved this movie; I made all my friends watch it too. I really like the movie as it gives sense of feeling that not all is lost if you break up with the …
Lost Boys: The Tribe, vampire horror film by P. J. Pesce
It took over twenty years for a sequel to be made for the Lost Boys, one of the best vampire movies of our time. Instead of getting the proper wide theatrical release it deserved this movie was released on every format on video. Does this aspect of the movie …

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
With the release of the Transformers on the year 2007, many fans anticipated the sequel of the famed Transformers. I was one of them. The first movie captured my interest (although I’m already a fan of the old school Transformers cartoons) because of the plot, action scenes, and most specially …
X-Men 3: The Last Stand [movie]
I went to this movie with high hopes that, even though the director of the first two films had left for “Superman Returns”, it would still be just as good as the first two. I was sorely dissapointed in the movie’s treatment of it’s characters, overall story, and …
Herbie Fully Loaded
Growing up, I was a die hard Herbie fan. So, when they made another Herbie movie, starring Lindsay Lohan, I had to watch it because… it was Herbie!
Honestly, I wasn’t expecting too much. I thought they would probably deviate too far from the original genius of the …
VooDoo (Horror Movie)
If you ask me about my opinion of this movie. It is —“ “I just wasted 1 hour plus of my life! *Censored*! *Censored*! *Censored*!”
In fact, I did thought of naming this review “VooDoo - a movie to waste 1 hour plus of you life away”. But I guess, …

Pledge This movie
I’m far from being a Paris Hilton fan. She’s an OK actress but isn’t someone that is going to have me going out of my way to rent a movie just to watch her. But, of all the movies we watched this past weekend, her film “Pledge This” surprisingly …
Vantage Point
With all due respect to my fellow reviewers on this site, I thought this movie was pitiful. I recently saw the movie when my father came to town begging to catch this new thriller. What ensued was a couple hours of just absolute silliness. The movie …
Gothika -movie
As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
The Raven Movie
The Raven with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi.
This classic black and white thriller was obviously based upon the infamous poem by Edgar Allen Poe. Looking back on the fine acting by these two famous horror stars, I could not help but notice how much Robert …
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Dawn of the Dead (2004) is a horror film directed by Zack Snyder and is rated R for pervasive strong horror violence and gore, language and sexuality.

Saw (movie)
Saw is one of my favorite new horror movies. This movie is a classic in my eyes. It’s a very creative story and plot. Saw is very original and had some great acting in it. I really liked the villain named JigSaw. When I saw him speak on the TV …
Movie Lookout
This was a really good movie. It’s about a teenager that has an accident and afterwards he can’t really remember a lot of things. He has to write a lot of daily things in a notebook to remember them. He works at a Bank as a janitor and he …
White Noise movie
This movie stars Micheal Keaton, and I’m pretty sure that it’s classified as a horror flick, perhaps more accurately “thriller”.
The film focuses around EVP (electronic voice phenomenon). Basically, it’s where one records “white noise” from a television set and/or radio, perhaps asking questions they hope to be answered. …
Bringing down the house
Bringing down the house is a fine comedy movie. This Steve Martin and Queen Latifah starred movie is I have watched this movie on DVD and it is a nice movie, at least one doesn’t get bored at any point of the movie. The performances of Queen Latifah and …
The Hot Spot movie
The Hot Spot is an ultra cool movie about a man who comes to town. When this man comes to town, everything that was static becomes shaken up. Don Johnson plays Harry and while I am not a Don Johnson fan (at all!) , I do like him in …
