One of my favourite movies up to a certain point in my life was the movie called “Big Fish”. The whole idea of it being my favourite was a little odd too, since I don’t think that I was able to watch it more than about three times whether …

Scott `Stingray` Timmins (Ben Nicholas) tours Ramsey Street
I found this video through www.youtube.com.au and I was going through to see if I could find this other video off Ben Nicholas’s character Stingray, and I came across this video. It is a tour of the most famous soap show in …

The 1997 Lifetime TV Movie, “Two Came Back” was a large disappointment. Starring a young Melissa Joan Hart and Jonathan Brandis, this film was a serious flop and didn’t do much to capture the audience’s attention at all. While Melissa Joan Hart has been a actress that I have …

I was in the mood for a good old fashioned slasher movie this past weekend and decided to look to the 1980s, when slasher movies ruled. I ended up picking out one I hadn’t heard of before called The Prowler and it ended up being one of the better …

House of Wax is a horror movie starring Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, Brian Van Holt and Paris Hilton. The movie is a remake of an old movie with the same title. The movie has the same plot of any horror movie where a group of friends go to …

When I was in middle school Sleepy Hollow was the movie to see. Of course, it was not necessarily a movie that middle school children should have watched but that did not mean anything to us then. All most of my friends and I wanted to see was Johnny …

Cloverfield is a borderline apocalyptic love story that tells the tale of a group of friends who are at a surprise party and find themselves amidst a group of man eating spiders that are destroying the tri state area.

A film by the finnish director Aki Kaurismaki about a rock band called Leningrad Cowboys who have severe difficulties getting a contract from a record company.
The roomer says Kaurismaki himself is ashamed of this film which he did early in his career. I personally can’t appreciate those of his …

Greencine is another company that offers dvd rentals by mail just like blockbuster and netflix. They had a free trial a while back but I don’t know if they still do. The main reason I didn’t care for them is because they didn’t have a lot of movie titles …

I was watching the film Planet of the Apes on TV the other day and have to say, considering when the movie was made, it is still one of the better science fiction tales you will come across.
There are two reasons I feel this way. One is the make …

The way people were hyping the movie made me very excited to see it. I was ready for a movie with wall to wall laughs, and a great story, like a Finding Nemo. What I got was a few laughs and a lackluster story, in my opinion. …

There’s nothing like a good Al Pacino movie but this wasn’t one of them. 88 minutes is a thriller that will confuse you until the very end. Mostly because the things that happen in it are so unrealistic and unbelievable that you think “there must be something more,” yet at …

Vacancy is a movie released in 2007 starring Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale. If you think that combination sounds a little odd, don’t worry because so did I! I actually saw this movie while it was playing in the theater and I liked it enough that I actually bought …

The Notebook is a wonderful love story. This movie is a great movie if you are ready to cry. Also it lets you see more in depth the actually things that a person dealing with alzheimer’s disease really goes through and the heart ache that the family of the …

We were watching Dr. Seuss movies and I got to see one I didn’t even know existed; Dr. Seuss on the Loose. It was a film that ended up being better than I thought it would.
This one was basically a re-telling of three Dr. Seuss books; the Zax, the …

I am very skeptical about remakes, and since the original The Parent Trap was one of my all time favorite family films, when I saw the remake arriving on the scene in 1998, I was concerned, big time. Happily, though, I found the remake to be delightful. It’s …

Mr. and Mrs. Smith starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was a really great movie. It was sexy, witty and simply smoldering. I cannot say that I am a big Brad Pitt fan but I did like this movie. I liked how both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were …

Norbit was advertised as a “family film”. At least that’s what i got from the commercials. Right from the beginning, the movie throws completely crude one liners. While I found them absolutely hillarious as an adult, i found it a little inappropriate for the children in …

“The Transporter” series is definitely my favourite Jason Statham movie. In an interview, Statham admitted that he got a lot of attention in Hollywood thanks to this movie series and the other, also very popular, “Crank”.
What is great about these two movies is that normally, in Hollywood, the second …

This is the second movie of Rowan Atksinson as Mr. Bean, after the very funny and attracting ” Bean ” while, for me, this second movie is better than the first one because besides there are classical jokes from Mr. Bean, we can also see the beautiful view of …

An interesting premise and layout. Guy breaks his leg and is laid up in his apartment with nothing better to do than take a peek into the lives of all his neighbors across the courtyard. It is a sordid group: musicians rehearsing, a lonely lady looking for love, another …

“Juno” is a 2007 film directed by Jason Reitman, and starring Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman. This is a really good movie about a mouthy but obviously smart teenager who becomes pregnant and has to navigate through all the possible courses of action she …

A few years ago, The Blair Witch Project used one camera to add realism to a horror film and was so successful at doing it, other movies have tried to copy the method. Unfortunately, those movies often fail.
This was pretty much the case with the movie Quarantine. On one …

‘Happy Feet’, is movie with foot tapping music and wonderful animation.
A movie for everyone with a message to do what you want to and not what you are forced to. Your weakness is your strength and nothing and nothing can come across your path if you have a …

While looking for another comedy to watch, I came across a not-so-popular movie that was considered as a gem by a number of people who watched it. I was informed that watching it generally evoked one of two strong feelings in an audience as I would either love it or …

I’ve just returned from seeing the new “Pride and Prejudice” (2005, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy). What can I say. I didn’t expect much, and therefore wasn’t very disappointed. Keira Knightley is cute (perhaps a little too cute for Elizabeth) and pretty …

Hot Chick is a very funny movie and I was literally in splits througout the time I was watching the movie. I have always been enjoying the movies in which Rob Schneider acts and I am a great admirer of his acting skills and comic timing. This movie is …

The Human Stain with Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman.

For most of Audrey Hepburn’s onscreen career, romantic films helped to greatly define her image as a beguiling female lead. It is why I feel a strong interest in seeing her other exclusive portrayals outside that “frivolous bubble,” yet all the while entertaining, of girl-falls-in-love flicks; I want …

“It Might Get Loud” is a rockumentary about the history of electric guitar divided in three eras, from the perspective of three
influential Rock’n’Roll guitarists. Namely Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White.
Directors Dave Guggenheim and Jimmy Page drive us into the lifes and backgrounds of the three artists’ relationships …

This is Quite possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. The stereotypes one would expect in a movie like this are there and are (in some places) slightly over done, but they do not take away from the movie overall. Rarely does a hilarious movie succesfully carry a …

My daughter loves horror movies and convinced me to rent What Lies Beneath. She said it was a good movie, but I am not a huge fan of horror films. I decided to give it a try anyway. She wanted to watch it, so why not. I rented the …

My daughter wanted to watch this movie so much! She would beg me every day to bring her to the theater to watch this movie. She even did her same old puppy eyes so I had no choice but to say yes. So I went to the theater to …

Having seen the trailer on this one, I perked up instantly since it was quite an ethical scene —“ a couple could have a million dollars right away with just having to push a single button, but someone somewhere in the world, someone they don’t know is going to …

Among the Cutting Edge movies that were made (there were three) this is what I like best. I have probably seen it five times already. I enjoy watching this because I like figure skating and The Cutting Edge has plenty of scenes showcasing some fancy maneuvers. It is funny …

This strange passion - or “El”, as it is better known - is one my of favorite films by Luis Bunuel. It is about a middle aged man who suffers from paranoia. This disease (as I would call it) is masterfully portraited by Buñuel here, using his own surrealist …
