Then She Found Me (starring Helen Hunt)
Then She Found Me stars Helen Hunt and it’s not that bad a movie. I believe that most women can relate to watching this story about how worrying their biological clock ticking tends to be and at the same time, not wanting a baby yet. Bu everything starts …
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 …
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 …
Movie - Serendipity
Serendipity is so beautiful, it’s almost cathartic. One of the loveliest movies I’ve seen.
The movie is about how if two people are destined to be together, luck brings them together. Kate Beckinsale (Sarah in the film) plays the sweet “believer” perfectly, while John Cusack (Jonathan in the film) …
Sex and the City (2008)
I love watching Sex and the City, the series before on TV, and now that there’s a movie rendition, I sure wouldn’t want to miss it at all. As usual, it stars the lovely and gorgeous Sarah Jessica Parker and the other lovely ladies as well such as …
Carrie Movie
Carrie is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen in my life. I think it truly is a super scary movie. This is one of the Stephen King’s films ever. I think he truly does bring something special to the whole movie. The movie truly does bring something …
Meet the Spartans
With movie theater tickets averaging around 10 dollars, and popcorn, soda and candy averaging all together around 10 dollars as well, that all adds up to a very angry person leaving the “Meet the Spartans” theater. I think I lost brain cells watching that movie. I wanted to throw …
How I Live Now (2013 Drama Movie)
Even though the movie itself never really became massively popular, I actually remember when the trailer for “How I Love Now” was released. I remember thinking that there were two main reasons why I wanted to see it. The first was because the actress Saoirse Ronan played the protagonist and …
Red Sands movie
This movie contained some of my favourite actors like JK Simmons from Oz and Spiderman, and also the actor Shane West. However, even though I thought the movie wasn’t awful like some others I’ve seen, I still think that it really wasn’t all that great, and I was expecting …
Kung Fu Panda
I was really excited about this movie right before it was shown in theaters. Because just the thought of a Panda doing Kung Fu? his weight, clumsiness, and incredibly large tummy and the dream of becoming a Kung Fu master.It’s quite hilarious right?How would someone be doing Kung Fu …
X-Men First Class movie
I saw this movie on opening day at around 3:30 pm-ish. The theatre was about half full so I got to enjoy the movie in a pretty nice seat at around the centre of the theatre. I usually sit further back, but this time, my entire vision …
Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Rising Malevolence
I’ve been watching Star Wars for as long as I can remember, but I’ve never been a fan of prequels. The problem is that I know where the story is going.
Star Wars is worse than most, and the clone wars even more so. I know how General Grievous dies, …
Illegal Tender movie
When I first saw this movie premiering one Saturday night I was a bit confused as to why I had not heard about it before when it was supposed to be released in theatres. It did not look like a indie movie to me, so that made me even …

“Inception” (2010 Film)
The 2010 film staring Leonardo DiCaprio called “Inception” was something that looked as though it would confuse me and leave me angry at the ending. However, after watching the film just once, I find myself hooked on to the main character of Cobb’s (DiCaprio) life as well as feel …

Madea goes to Jail Movie
Madea goes to jail, directed and written by Tyler Perry is a very inspirational story. The movie balances out its sorrows with gut wrenching humor. This movie does have Madea going to jail, after, as always some testy behavior, that will most definitely make you laugh. However, this is also …

Vamps (movie)

Santa with Muscles-film
I recently watched a comedy oriented Christmas film called santa with muscles starring the wrestler Hulk Hogan. Movies with Hulk Hogan as a lead are not too good and have average appeal.However,this film is a shame to the rest of Hogan’s movies. It was basically about a rich dude who …

I almost did not watch this movie. The beginning was so slow, I all most fell asleep. About the time I was going to take it out and try a different one, it got interesting. I am not a real believer of alien from other worlds visiting us or …
A Martian Christmas movie
I was looking for some movies for my daughter to watch while home on Christmas break and came across A Martian Christmas. I didn’t know what to expect from the animated movie, but I figured it was worth watching considering it is almost Christmas.
The movie ended up being better …

Meet the Fockers
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed watching ‘Meet the Fockers’ when it came out on DVD. I personally feel it was much better than the prequel, ‘Meet the Parents.’ It was nice to see Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman play …
Movie Man of the Year
I wasn’t sure what to think when they cast Robin Williams as a presidential candidate in the movie Man of the Year. But, after watching the film last night, I do think it is better than I expected it to be; though I’m not sure its his best film.
Williams …

Notting Hill,1999 movie
Notting Hill tells a rather unlikely yet pleasant love story of Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) a movie star and William Thacker (Hugh Grant), a modest guy who works in a bookstore. I enjoyed this movie. Grand is very likeable as the good-hearted, honest William. Julia Roberts does a good …

Lord of the G Strings Femaleship of the String, DVD Softcore Movie
Seduction Cinema made a ton of softcore movies. Maybe they made too many of them. One of the production company’s most popular films is Lord of the G-Strings, a softcore take on the Lord of the Rings trilogy. All of Seduction Cinema’s top players were in this movie in …
Stargate SG-1 - Brief Candle
The “Brief Candle” episode of Stargate SG-1 is an okay episode. I watch it alot, but it’s not a huge favorite. There are things I love about it, and there are aspects that keep it from being a stellar show.
The opening scene is wonderful. Richard Dean …
Eat, Pray, Love Movie (2010)

Colossal (2017 Sci-Fi Comedy Film)
Very few movies get you to unexpected places. Most of the time the movie starts and 5 minutes in you know where it is taking you. Perhaps one of the biggest problems of blockbuster filmmaking is that everyone is running out of ideas, immediately sticking to a single genre that …
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
This is going to be one of those movies that you will be quoting from for the rest of your life. I promise you. I remember back in the day when it first came out and I thought it was hilarious. I thought I was the only one who …
D. C. Cab Movie
I had never seen the movie D.C. Cab until last night, when I was bored and had a chance to watch it on Netflix Instant watch.

Here’s a rule of thumb. If the movie’s biggest star is Mr. T, then it …
Winter Passing
Winter Passing was a beautifully made piece depicting the life of a young actress who must come to terms with her father, who has created a pseudo-family around him. While incredibly well-done, the truth is I found it rather depressing. The relationship with her father heals, the discomfort she …
