I follow movies that receive attention at small film festivals like Sundance or Cannes with great interest, because I generally enjoy these movies so much more than big-budget Hollywood blockbusters. I read reviews about “Sin Nombre” after it won some international awards, and I finally saw it on DVD …

Beetlejuice is one hysterical movie. I love watching it whenever I can. Starring Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as the Maitlands, the movie is about a married couple who get killed in a car crash but live on as ghosts of a sort in their home. …

Never forgive, never forget.
A true quote that pretty much sums up the plot of this fantastic movie which came out in 2007. Based on the hit Broadway thriller-musical which starred Angela Lansbury as Mrs.Lovett and Len Cariou as Sweeney, this movie was directed by Tim Burton (The Nightmare Before …

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a hoot and a half! It’s one of the best family films ever. I saw it numerous times in the theater as a child, have viewed it many times on TV, and finally purchased the DVD, which I watch repeatedly. It’s …

This 2003 Lifetime Movie Newtwork film “Profoundly Normal”, starring Kirstie Alley and Delroy Lindo was really a movie that can touch the hearts of many people. I was unsure of what type of film this would be. But within the first few minutes of the film I realized what …

Tim Burton takes our everyday world and shoves it down a rabbit hole in his bizarre new take on “Alice in Wonderland.”
Starting out with pallid, nineteen-year-old Alice, viewers watch as she flees her aristocratic peers in an engagement party and finds herself trailing behind a white rabbit down a …

Tyler Perry is an awesome film maker. I really enjoyed his most recent film entitled “Why Did I Get Married?” The movie focused on relationships and the problems that each couple was dealing with in their marriage.
In the movie, there were four couples and they were all friends. …

Since I watched their film, Jack and the Beanstalk, I have been wanting to once again watch Abbott and Costello movies. So, I started watching one I haven’t seen before (except for the ending), Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy.
The movie was OK but not as funny as some …

One of my absolute favourite movies to watch as a child was “War of the Buttons”. Funny enough though, I never actually knew the name of the movie since it was something that I had only seen playing on local television. This was alldespite the fact that I searched …

I am reviwing the mini series, To Serve them all my Days. The mini series follows David Powlett-Jones (John Dutine) who comes to teach at a bording school named Bamfylde. David has just barely survived the trenches of World War I, and is a nervous wreck. His hands …

The Pursuit of Happyness (”happyness” intentionally misspelled) is unusually good, in fact I would say it is one of the best movies I’ve recently watched. Will Smith plays Chris, a poor man trying hard to provide for his family but not succeeding, for a long time. His wife is …

I came across the short movie Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog a couple weeks ago and was intrigued enough to add it to my instant watch queue at Netflix (but not enough to actually rent the movie). I’m glad I did. The film was actually pretty interesting.
This movie, which was …

When I first saw the trailer for the movie “The Call” it was a little before it was released, and I didn’t really pay much mind to it. Part of the reason was because a lot of the actress Halle Berry’s recent movies seem to have bombed and I …

I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Strangler’s Wood, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This film was made in 1999, was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based on the novels written by author Caroline Graham.
Strangler’s Wood is a movie that revolves around the mysterious …

I actually just stumbled upon this movie short from 1939 while looking for something to watch on television. It’s called Yankee Doodle Goes to Town, and it’s definitely a pro-America, pro-democracy creation. It’s theme is that America continues to rise up, to defeat its foes, and that …

Recently my kids and I watched “Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian”; we saw how funny it looked on its trailer and wanted to buy it. Immediately after watching it I wanted to do a review and decided on one thing: if a movie that …

The key message behind the movie “A time for dancing” is that if you believe enough, you can make your dreams come true. Although this film conveys a very noble message to youth, however it lacks a strong script.
The story of this movie is about two best friends, Sam …

Shera Danese, also known as Mrs. Peter Falk, finally got first billing in this 1991 movie. She plays Trish Fairbanks in Columbo: Columbo and the Murder of a Rock Star. Also appearing is Dabney Coleman as Hugh Creighton, a murderous lawyer. He’s not happy about his …

This is like a music show cum movie. This story is about a young man, who is really into Rock and Roll. This movie features Kate Hudson, and she really is a good actress in this movie.
It is about a young man so into rock and roll, …

The Long Weekend is an underrated movie that not many people would know about. I’m not sure when the movie was set, but there are just lots of DVDs lying around my home, brought my siblings or my parents, rented, bought; you name it, there are just a whole …

I never really loved cartoons, but this animation series got me hooked! I’m talking about “Avatar: The Legend of Aang”. For people who are hearing this title for the first time, the series is about a world ruled by 4 nations(fire, earth, water and air), living in peace until …

Alfie played by Jude Law is a sexually confident and widely flirtatious man who makes it his mission to keep company with the most beautiful women. He never met a woman he didn’t like. His philosophy was there were far too many beautiful women in New York City to …

From 2002, Farewell to Harry is a small story, told quietly. It has some very slow moments, but that’s the grace of the film. It also has that mystery to it, to figure out what is truth from what is whimsy. I found that as I …

Some time ago, I re-watched the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and thought it was one of the most boring alien invasion movies ever made. Despite that, I decided to give the 2008 Keanu Reeves remake a try this past weekend.
Unfortunately, while better, it wasn’t overly great …

Murder in Swingtime is a movie short that features Les Hite and His Orchestra along with vocalist, June Richmond.
The interesting thing is that as you go along, you are led to believe that there is going to be a murder. There is a lot of hype about this. …

BoogeyMan is an OK movie. I think the reason so many people watched it and liked it was because we all used to believe in the BoogeyMan at one time in our life. This is what made me think this movie was going to be scary. The preview also made …

Synopsis: The Saw movie franchise is finally brought to a close with this final installment which brings back some characters from earlier movies.
What I liked about this movie: The best part, for me at least, was the return of Cary Elwes’ character from the first movie. My wife and …

I’m going to be completely honest and say that I had absolutely no intention of watching the movie Red 2 since I felt that it wasn’t going to be as good as the first movie. My feelings about it strengthened when I saw the trailer for it and noticed …

I will never get bored watching this classic movie cum thriller romance called Vertigo. There is something hauntingly chilling but at the same time giving a nice feeling of romance after my each time watching this movie. Alfred Hitchcock was a real genius and it’s kind of sad …

I had high hopes for this movie. I saw the previews and it looked funny, plus I enjoy Paul Rudd movies and he is the star of this film. Sadly, while his performance and the performance of everyone in the film was wonderful I found it boring. …

I was flipping channels yesterday and came across the film Ghost Town. At first, I thought it was the recent comedy by the same name. But, after tuning into it, I found it was actually a SyFy Channel original movie about a bunch of college students being terrorized in …

It looks like Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace took a lot of time coming. It was almost like the long wait for James Cameron’s Avatar, many years after Titanic established itself as the unbeatable hit. Therefore, when it finally came to the theaters, naturally …

I believe this is one of Colin Firth less known movies and it is a pity because he is simply great in the role of an Arsenal supporter Paul Ashworth. His character at times knows how to be romantic but, most of the times, he is obsessed on how …

Tom Hanks is better known today for his sensitive, serious portrayals and his knack for comedy seems to have got lost with time. When ‘Bachelor Party’ came out in 1984 I am pretty sure that Hanks was unknown. I had certainly not heard of him when I …

Well here is another Penguin movie my daughter rented last night,but this one is an adult movie. “The Farce Of The Penguins” was mad funny. We laughed our butts off. Well of course Bob Saget was in it, as well as Christina Applegate, Lewis Black, Mo’nique, Tracy Morgan. The …

Rhythm in the Clouds from 1937 just did nothing for me in spite of the fact that on the surface it had a story that might normally intrigue me. To be honest, I am not certain why that lure did not happen.
Rhythm in the Clouds starred Patricia Ellis …

There wasn’t much on TV this past weekend so my wife and I ended up watching a movie that we found on TV; Deadly Honeymoon.
This was a made-for-TV movie from Lifetime I think and I really wasn’t expecting it to be any good. But, after watching it, I do …

The movie “Happy Accidents” should be a mix of old time romance and fantasy so that to attract both women and men to the cinema. The end result of this movie is that to achieve a lousy movie that doesn’t seem to go any where. What is incredible about …

So the Summer Movie Season begins, like Iron Man last Summer. Comic book movies hope to be the starting gun to an eventful few months in movie land. This one another form …

I watched this movie called frequency today on one of the movie channels. It was a pretty good movie overall. I enjoyed watching it and it got my attention. I really got into the movie in the middle of it. Dennis Quad plays in the movie and so does …

Office Space, directed by Mike Judge, the same guy that brought you Bevis and Butthead, shows in a comical way (but yet so close to reality) what it is like to be an engineer working in a cubucle and how certaiin behaviours might effect their professional life.
This is a …
