Movie He’s just not that into you
All of us girls were so keen to watch he’s just not that into you, I guess subconsciously us though maybe it will brush some light on watch guys really think.
I really liked the upfront message of the title and it is exactly that, if you’re trying to figure …
Thor (movie)
One of the movies I had been looking forward to seeing since 2010 was the movie “Thor”. This was not only because I’m a big comic book fan, but because it sounded like it was going to be big from the start. When I watched it for the first …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a very hilarious movie that I love watching.
I caught this on DVD moments back and it’s basically about a guy trying to get over his ex-girlfriend but having problems with that when he decides to go on a vacation and sees her there with …
Blade II,movie
After the original came yet another spectacular movie. It’s actioned packed that kept me on the edge of my seat right through. Did I mention the action? There is alot of action in this one…alot of action. Blade got the stuffing beat out of him and I enjoyed it, …

Steal This Film II
Digital “piracy” has been around for a while now, and it is a movement that is growing every day. There have been quite a few documentaries made about the phenomenon, one of those just happens to be Steal This Film II. It isn’t specifically about file sharing …

Hoosiers movie
“Hoosiers” is a classic 1986 movie about a small town high school team in Indiana in the 1940s (or 1950s). Gene Hackman stars as Coach Normal Dale, who comes to town with a checkered past. This is a man seeking redemption.
Pros: This is such a great …
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (movie)
I generally like watching Justice League movies, so when I heard of the Flashpoint Paradox, I couldn’t wait to find the time to actually sit down and watch it. I didn’t even read up on the plot of it either, I just decided to leave everything to surprise this …
Total Recall 2070
I have watched most of the movies listed under Science fiction on Netflix, but had never seen Total Recall 2070, mostly because it was hard to imagine a sequel to a marginally above average movie without any of the cast returning, and made for television could be any good.
I …
Revolver
“Revolver” is another dramatic movie where the director, Guy Ritchie team up again with the actor, Jason Statham. This is the third movie project they were involved together, although one must always mention that it wasn’t the most successful one. “Revolver” received heavy criticism from the press and it …
Failure to Launch dvd
Failure to Launch stars Sarah Jessica Parker & Matthew McConaughey. I am not a big fan of SJP, but I do like Matthew McConaughey and I really enjoyed this movie. I think the whole street heard me laugh at the laughing lizard - it was …
Robin Hood (2010) Movie
Robin Hood (2010) is a retelling of the original Robin Hood legend and tends to be a little more historically based than other Robin Hood stories, but the historical accuracy may vary, because it is a fictional story.
Robin Hood is a man named Robert Longstride, an archer who accompanies …
The Movie “Tangled” from Disney Studios
I would like to review the film Tangled. I saw this movie in very recently.
First I want to comment on the characters. First comes the girl, a very charming one. Each and every scene of her made me to jump - especially her face expressions. The way she …
Hot Shots Part Deux
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sequel to the movie Hot Shots; Hot Shots Part Deux. And I have to admit, after seeing it again this morning, it’s as good as I remember it being.
While the first Hot Shots movie made fun of the film Top Gun, …
Pocahontas (1995)
This Disney classic retells the tale of a Native American girl who falls for a British soldier. The story is about Captain John Smith, a British soldier who has sailed across from his homeland to the ‘New World’ in search of riches but instead find love in the eyes …
Happy Feet movie
The animated feature film Happy Feet features an all-star cast of voice talent. Unfortunately this talent is wasted plot that meanders through a worthwhile environmental message but never really comes together. It really seems as if the studio decided that environmentalism was the current hot issue, pardon the pun, …
Rocky
I was a bit bored last night so I was looking for movies to watch on some of the movie channels we have (we have a free trial going on).
I ended up coming across the movie Rocky.
I have seen this movie quite a few times but I have to …
Applause Videos in Vancouver, Canada
I just had to be a member of this mom and pop video store, even when I already moved to the city of Surrey. Like the clerk said when I signed up for membership, they really would like to concentrate the service on the community they are located …
American Sniper - Movie (2014)
Movies dealing with war are usually not my cup of tea but after watching ‘American Sniper’ with friends, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. This was more than just a war movie, this was a movie that explored the intricacies of a man struggling to balance his personal …
The Matrix Reloaded movie
I actually thought that The Matrix was a done deal…no sequels involved (boy was i wrong). Reloaded came to stir up more trouble for our guys in shiney leather and dark glasses. What is there to say about this installation of The Matrix saga…other than it’s long, it’s dull, …
The Breed
While the movie The Breed isn’t one of the better scary movies I’ve watched, it still turned out to be a half way decent thriller and I would recommend taking the time to rent it.
The movie is about five college students who decide to spend a weekend on a …
Transformers
When I first learned they were coming out with a live-action Transformers movie, my first thought was �Well, there�s another 80s TV show being ruined.�
From the previews, it looked like one of those films that would rely heavily on special effects and not offer much in terms of plot. …
17 Again
When I saw the shorts for 17 Again at the movies I was really excited to see it. It looked funny plus it had Zac Effron in it. The movie is about a guy who is unhappy with his life. In high school he chose family …
Major League
Major League with Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, Rene Russo, and Bob Uecker.
There have been many sports movies, but I would classify this film as being in the top three of all time. We all love to root for the underdog …
Cinemark Movies 10 - Fayetteville
If you are anything like me, then you love going to the movie theatre to see a good action, drama, family or comedy, and with the cost of a movie now days I am patient enough to wait until it hits the dollar theatre Cinemark Movies 10 —“Fayetteville in my …

Michael Bay manages to top himself in this follow up to the 2007 box office hit —˜Transformers’ based on the popular toy line and cartoons of the 1980’s. This film takes place a short while after the first with the Autobots forming an alliance with the American Military to …
Ten Commandments
This would sound funny but my husband and I have watched this movie so many times now that we both lost count and we are not closing the possibility of watching this movie in the future. It is also our practice watching this movie everytime we use our …
Movie: The Lorax
My wife read my oldest daughter the Dr. Seuss book the Lorax the other day. The next morning, she remembered she owned the short 1970s movie based on the book and asked if we could watch it with her as an early family movie night. After some reluctance, we …
Teeth Movie
Teeth is this incredibly odd little movie that is partly a horror movie and part something I don’t know. I watched it, expecting it to be a straight horror movie with a little humor thrown in. Now that I’ve seen it all the way through, I couldn’t tell you …
Movie The Whole Nine Yards
I asked a few people I know if they liked this comedy film, but some of them said it was corny and silly even though I can remember that when I watched it, I thought it was one of the most hilarious comedy films I had ever watched. I …
Daddy’s Little Girls
OK, when my wife insisted on renting the movie Daddy�s Little Girls, I did the same thing any good husband would do; rolled my eyes. In fact, I told her she was more than welcome to watch it while I was at work.
Personally, I never have been a big …
The Royal Tenenbaums
Any of you ever remember watching The Royal Tenenbaums, which I think was during the early 2000 or 2001 release? I caught it on DVD the other night and it was so hilarious. So much so that all my family members went to repeat it for the second …
The Swan Princess (1994)
The telling of the traditional Swan Princess story with a more up to date look and feel but still in animation version. The story tells of a princess that has been kidnapped and held against her will, who has been put under a spell that would transform her physical …
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 …
Sweet Home Alabama
Oh I love this movie ! The chemistry between the characters is apparent during the film and I love the story line and plot; the characters are round and not two dimensional, in other words there is a lot to uncover about the characters as the story moves on. …
Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004)
A continuation from the first volume of the Kill Bill saga, with a list of sub plots that basically gives us an inside look at the various female characters that are in this movie. Apart from Bill and his brother Budd, all other killer characters in this movie are …
The Babadook (horror movie)
I’m a sucker for horror movies. Therefore it was a given that I had to check out the movie “The Babadook” once I read about it in an article online. The writer claimed it was one of the most frightening and talked about movies of the year and I was …
Swordfish
Swordfish is one of the cooler action movies of the last decade despite a couple setbacks. One of it’s producers worked on the Matrix, so it’s got a similar kind of wild, high-tech, fast-paced feel. Now it’s definitely not on the same scale, but it isn’t a rip-off either. …
Kill Bill Volume 1
I’m not a big fan of Quentin Tarantino so before I saw Kill Bill Volume 1, I didn’t really know what to expect (I failed to watch the much talked about Pulp Fiction). I’m sure glad I watched it because it’s truly one of the most engaging movies I’ve …
Love and Other Drugs (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “Love and Other Drugs” staring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal, was not only funny but very heart warming and the perfect film to see if you are looking for comedy, romance, and great acting that will make you want to cry, laugh, sigh or all three.
Jake …
The Departed: Movie
The Departed is one of my favourite films, it’s absolutely brilliant. Although I am not generally a fan of the genre, the all-star cast made this a must see for me and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
The plot was something I hadn’t seen executed so well in a long time. …
Song of the Sea, animated film (2014)
Song of the Sea is an Irish animated film directed by Tomm Moore who previously directed the now famous Oscar nominated “The Secret of Kells”. And he’s got another winner with this film proving once again that he’s quickly becoming a big name in the animation industry.
Like his previous work, …
Movie: Witless Protection
I loved the first Larry the Cable Guy movie I saw, the one where he is a health inspector. So, I figured I couldn’t go wrong with the movie Witless Protection.
I was wrong.
Basically, this movie stars Larry the Cable Guy as a small town cop who is in charge …
Dead Like Me: Always
This episode of Dead Like Me entitled Always was one of the most poignant episodes of the Showtime science fiction series. It concluded an ongoing subplot that had gone on for much of the season with Mandy Patinkin’s character of Rube. Without spoiling what the final resolution …

Spider Man
What can I say I just loved the Spider Man man. I think this was the best out of all 3 movies made. This movie was really cool because it shows you how Spider Man becomes Spider Man. I really liked how they showed the whole story about he got …
Watchmen
Watchmen, a very popular comic series by DC Comics has finally made its way to the movies. Shown in different countries worldwide, the movie became very sensational.
Characters:
Bringing to life the characters from the comic strip to the movies was quite good. Though I really do not like the skin …
Moulin Rouge movie
I must admit that I was very much surprised by Moulin Rouge when I saw it. It’s not really my kind of movie, being an artsy, somewhat burlesque style of film, but I was so impressed with the singing talents of Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor that it …
