Movies Reviews
Blades of Glory
I watched Blades of Glory the other night, and I am a little on the edge about what to think about it. This movie is about two proffessional ice skaters who cannot get along, because of the level of competition. When that competition gets in the way …
12 angry men movie
The film is about a court jury who are to agree on a verdict in a seemingly obvious guilty case. All of them seem to be in a hurry to get it over with (hence the title), but one of them is having doubts and decides to stop the …
Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (2005)
The Steven Spielberg remake of the famous War of the Worlds 1953 movie was downright disappointing. The movie borders on awful, and really doesn’t come through. Despite the good cast, it was poorly directly and badly written. While the original movie was inspiring and filled with tension, …

‘Batman: Assault on Arkham’ Movie
I was fortunate to know ahead of time that this wasn’t really a “Batman” movie. Yes, the title would lead you to believe that, but this is really more of a Suicide Squad movie. Batman is in it, but he’s more of a supporting character.
Now, the …
The Day After Tomorrow
There have been many, many movies from Hollywood which have told us exactly how we’ll die off as a human race. None took so much meaning for the time as The Day After Tomorrow. It showed what effects the weather would have on our climate. We tend to think …
Vampires Suck (Movie, 2010)
With the over abundance of vampire movies and television shows out and coming out it only makes sense that someone would come out with a spoof of these entertaining videos, but isn’t a spoof supposed to be funny? Sure, “Vampires Suck” has some funny points, maybe about three of …
Reign Over Me
When I saw the previews for this movie I automatically wanted to see it. I was a little skeptical as to how good it would have been with Adam Sandler playing a serious role, I have only ever seen him do comedy roles. He did an amazing job though. …
Happy Feet
Happy Feet (2007) This movie was a charmer! I loved it as much as my grandkids. It is a happy, feel good movie. It makes you want to get up and start dancing. This is one of the best children’s movies I have seen. I could …
Sex and Breakfast
If everyone ever walks up to you on the street and offers you a movie about group sex that stars Macaulay Culkin, be nice, say no thank you and walk away quickly.
The reason I say this is, the movie likely being offered to you is the film Sex and …
The Happening movie
I had heard nothing but bad things about this movie. I jokingly suggested to my roommate that we rent it, he took me seriously and added it to our netflix queue. I was truly expecting “Batman and Robin” or “Catwoman” levels of bad. Truthfully, it’s not …
The Price of Milk movie
I am reviewing the New Zealond film, The Price of Milk, starring Danielle Cormack and Karl Urban as Lucinda and Rob. This film was made in 2000, and was written and produced by Harry Sinclair.
This movie is a romance/fantasy flick about a farmer, his girlfriend, and the magic …
Max Payne
I can’t help to mention that Max Payne is just a stupid movie. I wish that it could have been better so that I could give a real positive review, but watching this from start to finish at the cinema was just a waste of time. I wasted …
Masters of Horror: Cigarette Burns (movie)
This film is one in a series of horror movies directed by different individuals. I have realized that after a period of time, these films are more like “Tales from the Darkside” episodes, only with more gore, sex and violence. At any rate, this episode: Cigarette Burns …
While you were Sleeping movie
I watch While you were sleeping when I was a little girl since then I have been watching non stop it’s become my all time favorite. It about a girl who has no family and spends her days being alone working at a ticketing booth at the subway day …
Untraceable (R, 2009)
I must say that I love Diane Lane. She tends to have this quiet sex appeal that translates very well on screen whether she’s playing a seductive role or not. In any rate, I’m not used to seeing her in thrillers. But this particular movie was …
Cars the Disney Movie
Cars is a fantastic movie. My son watches it about every single day.
The characters (with voices by Owen Wilson and many other celebrities)are very well developed- from Lightning McQueen to Tow Mater- the animation by Pixar is excellent, as usual.
The story is about a car who is a hotshot …
Shutter Movie
I have seen this movie last April,2008. I knew that it was a horror movie but I never thought that it would be such a shocker.
There was a newly wed couple traveling by car going to Japan, then the guy who was driving hit a woman …
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
When I come to think of it, there was such a long wait involved before I finally achieved closure on the Star Wars story. Just imagine waiting for a decade before I finally found out what was going on. Maybe if I read some books about the …
Untraceable movie
Untraceable came out earlier in the year and was supposed to be a movie of the Thriller genre. I did not see the preview or trailer for this movie but I actually saw it on a whim. The poster for it made it seem like it’d be more of …

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
I started watching the movie “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” without much expectation. I thought it would be another mindless comedy. But I was surprised that it was much more well-made than I’ve expected. The story flows around the main character Nick(Michael Cera), a high school student and an …

Film “The Other Guys” (2010)
I consider myself to be a fan of Mark Walburg but not of Will Ferrell. I used to like Will but I have found his last several movies to all be similar. Mark can play a range of characters, but Will always seems to play a very …
Movie District 9
The one word I can use to describe District 9 is terrible. Granted, I am not a science fiction fan, and I generally won’t even watch any movie that involves aliens, space ships, or inter-planetary travel at all. My husband brought two DVDs home, and I popped it in …
Mind Your Language show
This is one of the best comedies shows that I have seen. I started laughing from the first minutes of the show until the last minutes. I bought some DVD about this show, and I watched many times and I still laugh every time I watch. It was a …
The Believer Movie (2001)

Django Unchained movie
I recently went to the cinema to see Django Unchained - having already seen the trailer, I was quite fascinated by it.
I must say that it was money well spent. The movie is fairly long (almost three hours), but it keeps you alert, thanks to its plot, its music …
Hocus Pocus movie
“Hocus Pocus” was possibly one of the most popular and well made Disney original movies I ever remember watching from when I was a child to now that I’m an adult. One might recognize a few famous faces in it too such as Sarah Jessica Parker the actress who …
I know who killed me movie
I wouldn’t recommend this movie to anyone. It started out nicely but it got a little weird toward the middle and even weirder toward the end. I didn’t like it at all. The story line was ok, but the acting and every thing else could have been a lot …
Transformers
If you’re a child of the eighties like me, then you probably remember some cool cartoons. Not the snoopy’s and the garfield’s and stuff like that, but the more action laden cartoons like Voltron and Transformers. True to Hollywood form, they’ve taken everything you can think of and turned …
Great Mouse Detective
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, and so I emensely enjoyed this movie. If you’re a Sherlock fan, you have to check this cute film out. Once again, Disney focuses its main characters on mice. A …
Knocked Up The Movie

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?
The first time I found out about the movie was not in the nineteen nineties when it was released, but some time after I got cable. I immediately developed a love for it then because it had a sort of independent movie feel towards it and I had just …

Friends TV Sitcom DVD

The Unexplained: Hauntings (NR, 1997) DVD
I will confess that I was expecting something a little bit longer. Showing for only 50 minutes, I was looking for a bit more depth. This History Channel program dives into the supernatural, and spends a few minutes with different people who have had experience …
