The Dark Knight
Last evening I watched “The Dark Knight”. I had of course heard all of the hype regarding the movie.
Christian Bale was an interesting choice for this part. He did a better job as Batman than I thought he would. But I actually thought Michael Keaton made a …
Deception, Marcel Langenegger Movie
Plot taken for the film is simple, namely on guile someone to lie to other people and I think that is very interesting, packed by the director. Hugh Jackman combination with Erwan McGregor is very good and can offset one with the other.
This story started when Jonathan McQuarry …

Glory Road Movie
I loved the movie, “Glory Road.” I am a huge basketball fan, and this movie was the true story of the first coach to start five black players in the NCAA final game.
Because of the times, the movie had some lines which were no doubt truly spoken at …
Open Range (2003)

Jerry Maguire
I watched the movie Jerry Maguire for about the third or fourth time last night and have to say, while a good movie, it could have been much better.
I liked the idea of a movie that focuses on the part of professional sports most films barely even mention; sports …
Lost in Space (1998 Film)
The 1998 film “Lost in Space” starring Matt LeBlanc, Mimi Rogers and Heather Graham is a sci-fi thriller that is pretty much guaranteed to not only give the viewers a strong dose of the supernatural, but an entertaining plot that is simple and enjoyable to follow.
Despite the fact that …
Avatar, movie (2009)
Like nearly everyone else at the time Avatar came out, I entered the theater with high expectations that were blown up by well-done trailers and shining reviews. The artistry within the CGI seemed so phenomenal, and the teases for the story seemed interesting. So perhaps my disappointment with …
Dan in real life
I was really excited to watch this movie. I watched it as soon as I got it in the mail. I thought it was going to be really funny. Well it was a little funny in the beginning and then the movie just got worse. It was boring, not …

Today I saw the newest Jim Carrey movie, Yes Man at the cinema. Like the other Jim Carrey’s movie, it’s a drama comedy movie that can make me laugh and entertein me.
The story is about a man named Car (Jim Carrey)l, who always say ‘no’ in his life and …

Wedding Wars is about gay entirely. This movie is about 2 brothers, whom have a so called clash, as his brother was about to marry a Governor’s daughter, and his future father-in-law requested that he opposed gay marriages, which offends Shel, played by Stamos.
Stamos is certainly a dishy …

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (movie)
The only thing about the trailer of “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” that interested me was that Ben Stiller seemed to be playing the main role. This is because Stiller is one of my favourite comedy actors, and I thought did a great job in movies such as “There’s …

A Sound Of Thunder with Edward Burns and Ben Kingsley.
This adaption of a Ray Bradbury science fiction thriller was very interesting and had me on the edge of my seat throughout. Consider this concept. People who live in the future will have the ability …
The Knowing (2009 Film)
The 2009 film “The Knowing” starring Nicholas Cage and Rose Byrne, did not in any way, do Nicholas Cage any justice. For his talents, and the other movies he has so wonderfully acted in, this film was a real flop. The plot was a little suspenseful, I’ll give it …

Perfume The Story of a Murderer (2006)

127 Hours (2010 film)
2010 was the year of survival films. The best one was the Slumdog Millionaire’ award winning director’s following film, based on the actual, tragic and yet unevenly proud and awe-inspiring story of Aaron Ralston.
The protagonist is a passionate, courageous and dangerously reckless climber who has broken …

When this movie came out, people told us it was the most terrifying thing …
Moving Target movie
Moving Target could have a decent movie, but it just drags way too much to be more than so-so. The plot has some intrigue to it, but it’s poorly directed with too many long pauses and too much murkiness. I say that even though there is a …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Yes, Jack Sparrow is back. Johnny Depp has proved once again that he’s one of the best actors in the world. Why? Because he managed to achieve a good role in, maybe, one of the weakest plots and one of the worst directions in the history of the movie …

Murder by Television movie
