Alfie was a movie I had seen being aired on various cable television channels for some time. However, I didn’t pay it much attention until about a year or two after I had first seen it as it appeared as if it would be boring to me since …

Cloverfield
I recently watched Cloverfield on DVD. Shh…my brother works at a video rental place and they get it a few days earlier than actual release!
At first I thought, Oh great Blair Witch 2008. But after several minutes, I realized this was not at all like Blair Witch! Whereas …
Big Eyes (biographical drama movie)
The movie “Big Eyes” was something that I’d been looking forward to seeing for a very long time, partly because it was done by one of my favourite directors, Tim Burton. I also became interested in seeing it because of the brief synopsis I’d heard about the plot. After watching …
I Robot
Whenever I see Will Smith in a movie, I expect there to be action. His film I, Robot, is a perfect example of this.
Based in the future, when robots have become part of everyday life, Smith plays a cop who is convinced the robots will eventually try to take …
Feature Film “The Hamiltons”
I have recently decided to allow netflix, the online movie rental company to chose my movies for me. I tell it which movies I enjoyed and it makes recommendations. I enjoyed Ginger Snaps and Session 9 and it gave me the hamiltons as a suggestion. I …
Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age
Last evening I watched the movie Elizabeth 1st: The Golden Age.
I usually as a rule like period piece movies. However, I thought even though Cate Blanchett did a good job of acting the part of
Elizabeth the 1st and the costumes were extravagant, the movie was merely mediocre. Some …

The mission is to capture and extract a member of a terrorist group and fly him into the arms of the United States armed forces intelligence for interrogation. The extraction attempt went array when the helicopter was shot down by the terrorists using the aid of RPG’s. Now the …
John Tucker Must Die
I was a bit bored last night and found myself watching the movie John Tucker Must Die.
I had seen the movie before last night but couldn’t remember anything about it. Now I do. It is a terrible movie.
Basically, it is a bunch of girls who overreact when they find …
The Usual Suspects (1995 Classic Film)
As a very vocal fan of director Christopher Nolan, I kept on looking for films that were similar to his visual style and storytelling. Over the past weeks I’ve encountered David Fincher masterpieces that I could definitely say inspired some of Nolan’s features, and this week someone recommended me a …
Four Brothers Mark Wahlberg
This is one of my favoite movies. I have always been a fan of Mark Wahlberg and he did an excellent job in this film. His tough exterior and gritty attitude was just what this movie needed. He and his other three brothers are on a mission to find …

Domino movie (2005)
(Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke)
Heads you live. Tails you die. And this movie definitely lives! This “story” about the first female bounty hunter, Domino (Knightley) is a full tilt, off the chart super pumped extravaganza of action, chaos, and mayhem. The high-octane, deliriously shot scenes do …
Suspect Zero (R, 2004) movie
I had this film in my Netflix queue, and finally purchased it somewhere else before viewing it. I really wish I had seen the movie first, or I would not have bought it. As much as I like Carrie-Anne Moss, I simply found her role in …
Anchor Man The Legend of Ron Burgundy
I have to say Anchor Man is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. I think this movie was very good and the main star Will Ferrel did a awesome job in the film. Will Ferrel played the part of Ron Burgandy and was very …
Predator movie
Are you afraid of things that go bump in the night? Afraid of creepy crawling insects? Afraid of what’s around the next darl corner? Then, be afraid, be very afraid…as you are going to the jungle where all these things live. A group of highly skilled soldiers embark on …
BoogeyMan movie
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 …
City Slickers movie
I was flipping channels the other day and came across the movie City Slickers. Since it had been a while since I saw that particular film, I decided to watch it.
Overall, it was about as funny as I remember. It wasn’t the most hilarious movie ever made but it …

Interstellar - Movie (2014)

Monster movie
Monster is about Aileen Wuornos, a female serial killer. Monster looks behind the scenes and tells you the real story of Aileen. I never thought that Aileen was justified in murdering men in cold blood, but I can say that I feel Aileen was a victim of men all …
Movie: The Crazies
Even though we already had a movie to watch this weekend, my wife insisted on renting another one called The Crazies. She said she had heard from a friend that it was very good.
Well, I think her friend has a weird taste in movies because I definitely disagree with …

Batman 1966 Movie
With all of the different versions of Batman in the past, the present, and the future, there are very few if any who can truly compare to the Batman that Adam West created in the 60s. His Batman was more unique and personal then I think any other Batman …
IMAX theatre systems
I think the IMAX theatres are one of the best things the movie business has going for it. As we see declining sales these are going to be the things that bring people back into the theatre. I have been saying it for years–if you want people back you …

Harry Brown 2009
I just saw the film “Harry Brown” tonight with my husband. This is a British movie starring Michael Caine. I first got interested about it when I found out that the gist of the movie was revenge, vigilante-style. One of the similar movies that I have seen was Clint …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Kate Hudson tries to tell us in this movie on “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. I am sure that even if she would like to get rid ofMatthew McConaughley, there are a lot of women who won’t mind have him around!
It seems that the on-screen …
Broken Bridges movie
“Broken Bridges” has a good story with great potential in attracting a great audience, however something along the line failed. The acting is awful, the filming and editing is sadly not good enough and the sound of this movie is terrible! In other words, this movie sucks!
Why did I …
Superman (1978)
This is the movie that brought the Superman franchise from the pages of the comic book and TV to the general public on the silver screen. Giving viewers a taste of what the readers already know, they introduce the Superman feel from life on the planet Krypton leading up …
The Day After Tomorrow movie
This was possibly the best disaster movie I can remember watching. In fact, before this movie I had no idea that disaster movies could be great, since most of them tend to be b-movies. However, one of the things I learned from watching this movie was that good disaster …
As Good As It Gets movie
This movie, starring Jack Nicholson as an obsessive compulsive romance novelist who is a bit of a people hater and Helen Hunt as a struglling waitress with an ill son, is very cute.
That’s really the only way I can describe it. There is a cute dog, a gay artist …
Something’s Gotta Give (2003)
I have seen it with my own eyes and on the screen as well, where older men make it their mission to date younger women, and in that light, the impressionable young woman take the ‘maturity’ of these older men and use it as a measuring stick against all …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
There is only one word to describe this movie and that is weird. I have never seen a movie as strange as this one before. I had thought it was supposed to be a comedy but I found nothing funny in it at all. I fail to see the …
Wake Up Ron Burgundy
You’ll find “Wake Up Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie” as a special feature in a double disk edition of the popular film “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.” The film tries to pass itself off as a sequel to the film, although as the film itself admits it …
Erin Brockovich Movie
Erin Brockovich Movie was one movie I saw some time back. It is one movie I like very much.
There are some movies that I will watch and few months down the road, I will have absolutely no idea and totally cannot remember what the movice was about. Erin Brockovich …
Todd Sweeny
Remember Rick Morranis in Little Shop of Horrors? Well take a twisted theme, subtract the alien plant, and add a pyschodic barbor and you’ve got Tim Burton’s Todd Sweeny. The movie was a bit fruity with it being a complete musical, but the plot is there. Tim Burton must …
Little Manhattan Movie
Hands down, this is the sweetest movie ever. Not some sappy chick flick, but a simple romantic comedy.
Kudos to the one who came up with such a cute idea about making a movie about first love. I mean, there are tons of movies out there about first love, but …
The Theory of Everything, Movie
I decided that I wanted to watch this film as soon as I saw the trailer. It seemed to me like it would have a realistic story line, and that the film would hold my attention. I would say the film definitely lived up to my positive expectations.
The film revolves …
Sherrybaby (R, 2006)
For months I have been passing over the movie “Sherrybaby”—”thinking that it was just going to be fluffy sentimental crud that some indie films dish out. Boy was I wrong. The story is hinged on a woman who has been in jail for a few years. …
Rio 2: An Animated Movie Directed by Carlos Saldanha
My kids and I loved Rio. I fell I love with the bright fun colors and the excellent animation while my kids fell in love with the story. When they saw that Rio 2 was coming out, they were so excited, but were really sad when my husband and …
Blade,movie
The original and still the best. It caused alot of controversy and it did not disappoint. You couldn’t tell if Blade was the bad guy or the good guy…but has was Baaad. Blade is a vampire who hunts vampires…an interesting plot at best. The action is intense and believable. …
Death at the Funeral Movie
I didn’t know funeral’s can be funny. It speaks of lamentation and grievance of a loss of a loved one but in Death at the Funeral, it was the otherwise. It is funny but not rude and stupid. It is pure raw fun. The movie does starts …
Happy Feet
My mom and dad bought Happy Feet for my little girl to watch and it couldn’t have been a better purchase. She just loves this movie. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing.
Between the melody and rhythm of the music and the contrast of colors on the movie, it …
