Tiger Warsaw movie
I remember vividly the conversation I had with the clerk at Blockbuster about Tiger Warsaw. I was in the process of becoming a huge Patrick Swayze fan and was renting some of his movies that I hadn’t seen. She warned me about Tiger Warsaw, telling me it …
Chocolat movie
I had the great pleasure recently to watch the DVD of Lasse Hallstrom’s (2000) movie “Chocolat.” The movie stars the both pretty and beautiful Juliette Binoche as Vianne Rocher, an unmarried mother and free spirit. Vianne arrives in a small French village just as Lent is starting and opens …
Ma and Pa Kettle
Universal International Studios struck a gold mine when they launched Ma and Pa Kettle in 1949. It would be the first of nine pictures focused on these country characters. However, Ma and Pa actually first began in another movie, one I enjoy a lot, called The Egg …

Enchanted movie
The story introduced me that the theory of “happily ever after” is just a fairytale. Enchanted shows you the fact, between the fairytale and the realities. Love needs time and everything may be happen when you’re about to find your true love. Well, I guess that was the idea …
Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
To kind of quote Indiana Jones, now we’re getting nasty. This is the first of the Potter stories to have someone killed, giving us a taste of what’s to come, priming us, if you will. The atmosphere of Goblet of Fire is decidedly darker. The moods of the characters …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives movie
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives is another one of those movies made when Raymond Burr wasn’t able to show up as the Mason character. Instead of just making it a non-Mason flick as I would have preferred, they turned the scripts into mysteries …

The main thrust of Dead Like Me: Death Defying is that virgin George finally has sex in her death life and then gets extremely angry because her lover doesn’t call her afterwards. She spends the entire show stomping around like a two-year-old. She’s a brat here, and …
Movie: Ponyo
Because I have kids, just about everyone who has seen the movie Ponyo has told me it is a film we should watch with the family. So, when it became available on Netflix Instant Watch, I did make an effort to add it to my list and, this past …
Overheard (Mandarin Movie with English Subtitles)
This movie, Overheard is a Mandarin movie with English subtitles. It is basically a movie about cops and there are lots of issues here that are played at hand. Issues of honesty, integrity, being honest and also of greediness. But amongst all these attributes, there are also …
Nine to Five movie (1980)
I remember seeing “Nine to Five” for the first time when I was only twelve years old. I loved it then, and I love it just as much today. I still like to watch parts of it whenever it appears on TV. To all the ladies out there, this …
The Aviator (2004)
I watched the movie “The Aviator” a couple years ago when I had either just graduated from high school or was still in high school. I can remember not wanting to watch it at first since I thought that it was probably going to be a little boring and …
Mr. Brooks movie
I loved watching this movie. It’s about man who is sometimes controlled by the other side of him. I think that they did an amazing job how they captured the other side of him, how they did the whole movie. Kevin Costner plays mr. brooks. He does a great …
Rango (computer animated movie)
It took me years to watch the animated movie “Rango” even though some of my favourite actors did some of the voice acting. The main reason why it took so long too was that it seemed to have an “average” rating or “slightly above average” rating from people who watched …
I Am Legend
Will Smith truly has proved his worth and value as an actor and his convincing acting in I Am Legend truly shines. As usual, movies like this gives me the jitters but I braved myself to watch it on the cinemas when it was first shown.
There is …
Yes Man Movie by Jim Carrey
There was this time when we watched a movie at Trinoma Cinema, the movie was Yes Man! by Jim Carrey. The movie was fun and it was totally something everyone would love to watch - especially for those who loves a simple movie with lots of laughter and funny …
The Blind Side 2010 Movie

Mega Snake (movie)
The film “Mega Snake” is something that can be considered as yet another one of those Syfy original creature horror films. Like quite a few of its b—“rated film predecessors that I have struggled to watch over the years, this one was also B-rated and low budget and I …

Bubbling Over movie short
Bubbling Over with Ethel Waters from 1934 features Ethel Waters as Ethel Peabody. Also appearing is Hamtree Harrington as her husband, Samson. The whole beginning is on her feet with the broom and it’s highly entertaining. It actually surprised me quite a bit. Sometimes, simple …
Captain Phillips (movie)
One of my top ten movies that I watched this year so far has been the one named “Captain Phillips”. The thing about this movie though was that when I first saw the trailer advertising in late 2013 it didn’t really hold my interest enough for me to think …
Spirit Trap
Starring: Billie Piper (Jenny), Sam Troughton (Nick), Luke Mably (Tom), Emma Catherwood (Adele), Alsou (Tina), Chike Okonkwo (Edmund Joseph)
This movie is actually not too bad; it started off as rather mundane, but the idea of an old clock that linked the past to the current is quite refreshing!
Jenny …
Waterboy
When the movie Waterboy first came out, it was one of my favorite movies. But, after watching it quite a few times, both on DVD and on TV, I’m coming to realize it really isn’t that great of a film after all.
Adam Sandler is funny in it and I …
21 movie
It took me a couple of times to finally watch this movie the whole way through. Overall it was kind of boring but a decent movie. You need to watch the movie the whole way through because the ending is what made the movie a little better in my …

Journey to the Center of the Earth
Wow do I wish I owned a pair of 3-D glasses. We watched the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth last night and it was awesome. When comparing Brendon Frasier in this film with his other movies I would rank this one right up there with The …
Underworld movie
I came to this movie with low expectations. I remembered reading unfavorable reviews of it when it was out in theaters. But I actually think it’s a good movie if you’re able to accept it for what it is - a fantasy movie about vampires and werewolves. …
Airheads
I love any type of movies starring Brendan Fraser! He rocks truly, and Airheads is one of those movies that made me butt-crack laughing with bit of tears in my eyes.
The trio, or rather called Airheads were really funny and they gave a loud and seemingly clever …
Jumanji movie
Jumanji was one of the movies I wanted to see in the theater, but wasn’t able to. From 1995, it stars Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst, Bradley Pierce, Adam Hann-Byrd, and Laura Bell Bundy. It’s actually a nice adventure for children who aren’t afraid of monsters …
The Great St Trinians Train Robbery - Film 1966
We are not talking your recent remake here - we are talking vintage St Trinians and the Great St Trinians Train Robbery was the only one of the original four to be made in colour. In the 1960’s this was something quite new and it has been said by …
Transporter 3 (2008)
The third time is definitely not the charm as in relates to the Transporter franchise, they should have stooped at the first one, but it seems that everyone sees the need to make a trilogy these days. This time around, Frank played by Jason Statham, is accidentally thrown into …

World War Z, movie
I wasn’t expecting a lot from this film. And I have to say that this film met my every expectation of it being a predictable and humorless blockbuster. Zombies chomped their teeth when you expected them to, cars crashed when you expected them to, and Brad Pitt played the …
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Before the movie The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released in theatres and I only saw the trailer, I was anticipating spending money to watch it since I was so sure that it was going to be much better than the first. Everything from the villains to the special effects looked …
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)
In my view, this movie tries too hard to follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Ring movies and by doing so it manages to sink its own ship. There are so many things wrong with this movie it is a wonder if ever made it to …
Christmas with the Kranks
I just finished Christmas with the Kranks and it is a cute holiday movie. It stars Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis and has other big stars in it like Caroline Rhea, Dan Akroyd, Felicity Huffman and Cheech Marin. The premise of the movie is that the Krank’s daughter …

Liar Liar
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the Jim Carey film Liar Liar and, whene it was on one of our movies channels today, I decided to watch it again.
Somehow, it’s not quite as funny as I remember it being.
The movie does have an interesting premise, Carey plays …
Movie Shooter (2007)
I saw this movie long ago but I’ve seen it again recently and I had to make a review of it, since I really like it.

Cat’s Eye movie

The stories are all based on works by horror master Stephen King. …
