The happening is one of the worst rated movies of M. Night Shyamalan however I actually enjoyed it though I cannot call it a favorite. The movie is basically about plants giving off a chemical that causes people to commit suicide.
I can see why it has such horrible …

With all due respect to my fellow reviewers on this site, I thought this movie was pitiful. I recently saw the movie when my father came to town begging to catch this new thriller. What ensued was a couple hours of just absolute silliness. The movie …

I don’t watch TV much, but I do love a good movie. I decided to treat myself and sign up for the BlockBuster online service. They promised many perks and it sounded simple and convenient. Their website was straight forward and very user friendly. I was allowed to order …

The movie The Grudge is one of the best new scary movies to come out recently. I did enjoy the movie. Although I must say it’s very similar to The Ring. The reason I saw this is because both of the dead people who come back to kill were …

Much in the vein of Romero’s Diary of the Dead, The Zombie Diaries once again utilizes the hand held approach to movie making. However this movie doesn’t have the polished finish of Romero’s effort, with only a meagre budget behind it and a cast and crew of mostly unknowns. …

Cool World, hmmm, what is ther that can be said about this movie that is any way, shape or form a good thing? This movie came to us as viewers with such high expectations and with a new thought of actually combining the human element with animation. I was …

Help Me Help You with Ted Danson.
I never thought very highly of Ted Danson’s acting on TV, but he has shown me a more effective portrayal in this series. I think that the difference is the similarity to his Cheers days in which he …

I have always loved the genre of musical films. They tend to be more entertaining in my opinion, offering drama in the form of song and dance in addition to the spoken and visual story that we are presented with. What I like about an early musical …

I saw the trailer for this movie about the same time the movie Help came out. I found myself drawn to it for its mysterious quality. I couldn’t wait to see it. When I finally saw it, I found myself having mixed emotions about it. …

I watched this movie a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed watching this movie. I felt like it was a very interesting and entertaining movie to watch. I think it probably one of the few movies that almost everyone has seen and liked it. I know I have …

Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that. Whether it’s the two characters demonstrating their “tandem dance routine”, complaining about the pool in Lawrence’s character’s back yard, …

I was listening to music the other day when I came across a truly amazing theme from a movie. It was from the movie “Requiem for a Dream.” I was blown away by the music and I said to myself at that moment that I needed to …

I absolutely hated the Drive movie, but then the next day I went back to the movie theatre and watched it again. The fact is that is that the movie made me really care about the characters and it also made me want to figure it all out- and …

As a fan of the Hunger Games trilogy, …

The wind will carry us is a film by Abbas Kiarostami, who is known for films like Close-Up and maybe most of all - one of my own personal favorites - Taste of cherry. His style is very slow, but in his case it’s always a positive thing, because …

Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte is a movie about an old woman, Charlotte, who is played by Bette Davis. I love Bette Davis and certainly Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte is one of her best films. So Charlotte is living the remaining years of her life in an old mansion with …

Up until I saw this film I had not seen any of Jason Statham’s work. Like Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme before him, he has made a movie career solely out of the fact that he knows kung fu.
The writers behind this film weren’t much …

A Little Princess is a movie made in 1995 that stares Liesel Matthews, Eleanor Bron and Liam Cunningham. This is a family movie which has an exceptional sweet and sad story. It would be one of the all time best I have seen.
I really do consider this to be …

Mr. Deeds is a movie I have watched and it’s actually a remake. What would you do if suddenly, you find yourself inheriting 40 billion dollars..? I can’t imagine that happening to me and hence, can’t think of the least or most possible way to save and spend …

I can honestly say that I have watched “Walk the Line” on several occasions, probably more than my husband cares to count. I have always liked movies based on the lives of real people and “Walk the Line” is based on the life of late country singer Johnny …

I really wanted to like this little film, especially since Blair Underwood was starring. This film is really pretty old, nearly 20 years. And the premise was pretty good. During this time, there were several films that tried to follow the topic of race relations. …

Nightwatch was produced by Timur Bekmambetov. It is a science fiction action movie with a very interesting main plot and a few different subplots, that interlink in the end of the movie, but still leave the ending to be somewhat mysterious. The film begins with a prologue, a picture …

After much delay, I finally watched Brokeback Mountain on DVD only to find it really wasn’t worth all the controversy or hype.
Overall, it was an OK movie and a unique concept. Two cowboys working together for a summer fall in love with each other. And, the steamy sex scene …

Cheers for Miss Bishop is a classic film from 1941 which starred Martha Scott in the title role of Ella Bishop. My problem, and pretty much my only problem, is that while the makeup was good, it didn’t quite hook me. We see Scott transform from a …

I began looking forward to seeing the next movie in the Captain America franchise shortly after Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released in 2014. After watching the movie Captain America: Civil War in the theatre recently I’m proud to report that I found it very entertaining.

I guess what I am going to be trying to do right now is to justify the grade I am about to give this movie. I am going to give this movie the grade of eight out of ten, and assert that it is a very good film. I …

Four girls, Carmen, Lena, Tibby, and Bridget, have been friendly since. It appears to be fourth already are. Even their birth date is in the same week. One day in early summer holiday, they found blue jeans trousers. Fourth try them, indeed miraculous despite their different body’s pants, but …

The term “childhood rape” is thrown around a lot nowadays. It seems like every movie now in some way, shape, or form rapes somebody’s childhood. People threw it around when Bay’s “Transformers” came around or when Lucas made the prequel trilogy. I myself felt the epitomy …

I just recently watch this thriller movie on a DVD player which is a British horror thriller written and directed by James Watkins. My comment about this movie is that I am not satisfied with the ending. The message is very clear in the movie though and it …

I was a bit skeptical going into this movie it could have gone either way good or bad. I had heard mixed reviews from friends also both good and bad so honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I rented this movie.
The story is pretty simple four old …

The choice of actor Zack Efron to do the movie ‘17 Again’ really caught me by surprise. After finish working on the last movie of ‘High School Musical’, Efron declared that he wanted to work on movies with far more challenging roles. In all honestly, I found that there …

This movie was a movie that could have been awesome. It had an excellent base story line but it just lacked … SOMETHING. I don’t know what exactly it was, but it lacked. I love the big old run down mall that they had to protect every night, I …

I finally got a chance to watch the Scooby Doo movie Chill Out Scooby Doo with my daughter this past weekend. It turned out to be a pretty funny full length film.
Basically, Scooby and the gang find themselves investigating a mystery about a Yeti in the Himalayas. But, I …

To give props where props are do: I really like the idea of Mutilation Ball, and the “sport” is animated brilliantly. I don’t know who came up with the idea of combining chain saws with basketball but for some strange reason it works, at least as it is …

Whenever I watch a movie starring the ever talented Brendan Fraser, I would swoon. That’s because he is such a talented actor and his acting is so magical each time. The roles that he played are all the right kind of mix for him. From the anthology …

Some films even if they are not really masterpieces nor a revelation of filmmaking, are still so well made that you can’t actually see a single fault in it. Films like last year’s Brooklyn or this year’s Sing Street are examples of it. Nothing groundbreaking about those two films mentioned …

This is a very beautiful movie. Well, it’s based on the life of activist Erin Brockovich, so there’s nothing much we can do or comment about the plot or story line. Erin lived a very inspiring, albeit controversial life and we owe some respect as to how she lives …

You never know what you are going to get when you watch a classic film short. The purposes behind these productions, which last anywhere from just a few minutes to a half-hour or so, is varied. The one I watched this evening is from 1940 and is …

Cold Souls is an excellent independent film to sink your teeth into. Paul Giamatti does an excellent job, as usual, of playing a flawed and likeable character, only this time the character is himself. The plot is quite simple, Paul is an actor who needs help disengaging from the …

When Rob Zombie’s remake of the classic “Halloween” came out in August 2007, being a big fan of the original “Halloween” film by John Carpenter, I was really looking forward to seeing it. Thought it was an interesting spin on the story to show more of what Michael Myers …

This is a very light romantic comedy, with a plot so simple, silly, and predictable that I think it would have completely fallen through if it wasn’t for Michael Caine and Maggie Smith, the two wonderful actors who save it.
Stevenson Lowe (James Spader) is a successful publisher and a …

On Friday evening my family and I were waiting for my mother to get to my grandmother’s house after she was finished at the hair dresser, so what I did to kill time was watch a little television. That was how I saw the movie “Mr. Wrong” on the …
