Movie Runaway Jury
I like John Cusack as an actor and I always enjoy watching Dustin Hoffman. I also enjoy watching a good acotr like Gene Hackman. There is a movie called Runaway Jury that has all three of these men in it.
John Cusack plays a juror with a …
Wolf Of Wall Street, movie
It wouldn’t sound too strange to say that The Wolf of Wall Street is in fact an adaptation of the classic 70s song Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, perhaps without the —˜Rock and Roll’. Scorsese’s latest 3 hour film is an indulgent look at the life of Jordan …
Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All movie
From 1989, Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All stars Stacy Keach in the title role of the famous private eye created by Mickey Spillane. This is somewhat of a weird plot that has Mike Hammer being transported covertly to Las Vegas. One thing leads to another and Hammer …

Movie: Tremors 3
I finally got a chance to sit down and relax about 8 last night and, while flipping channels, came across a movie I haven’t seen in a while; Tremors 3.
This movie, which is of course, the third movie in the Tremors series, isn’t anywhere near as good as the …

27 dresses (movie)
We went to the movies last night and saw an adorable film called the 27 Dresses.
This one starred Katherine Heigl and James Marsden, I believe these two fine young actors are going to be the next Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan duo. They mesh that well together.
Anyway …

Braveheart Movie
This is my favorite movie of all time…and a magnificent film directed by and starring Mel Gibson. It tells the true story of a Scotsman fighting for the freedom of his country after his wife was killed by an English lord. It also has a crazed Irishman who claims …
50/50 (movie)
With some of my favourite actors like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen featuring as the main characters in the movie “50 50″. The expectations were high, because both of these had done exceptionally well in the previous movies.
I knew what to expect from these names, and they didn’t disappointed …
Angel In the Outfield (1996)
I love Disney movies. Its a relatively sad and often laughed at indulgence that I have. I particularly like it when they turn out a movie that makes me feel inspired and warm inside.
I think that one of my favorite movies of all time has to be Angels …
Unstoppable ( 2010 Movie )
It was one of the box office hits following its release date. The movie stars Denzel Washington and Chris Pine. The movie is set in a rail yard in Pennsylvania. It started when a train used for transport was asked to make way for an incoming train full of school …
Dallas Buyers Club (2013 - biographical drama movie)
Dallas Buyers Club is one of those movies that is a career builder. Specifically, it is a career builder for the two main actors in the film - Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Both of these actors each get in the film a lifetime opportunity that any actors would kill …
Eat, Pray, Love (The Movie)
I watched this movie last weekend and I have to say that I didn’t like it much. The plot was not strong enough and not developed well enough to justify the lessons that Liz Gilbert was imparting in the movie. It did not evoke any feeling, and …
The Shining (1980) movie
I find The Shining to be a completely stunning film, partly down to the transfixing performance of Jack Nicholson and partly down to the direction of Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name but Kubrick has given the story an ambiguity that …
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
I cannot remember the time that I was impressed with the movie version of the book. I suppose the written word is just too difficult to put into action, but with the first book of Harry Potter, I thought the subject of wizards and witches should be easier and …
The Fourth Kind
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 …
Tango and cash
This flick is a nice blend of action and comedy. The comedy however is not in performance, but the characters do have a good sense of humor. The story’s abt two cops Tango and Cash, that were wrongly accused in a case, and are convicted and send to …
The Dilemma (Movie)
The Dilemma is newly out of cinemas (Depends where you live) here in South Africa. The trailer was very ammusing, and i thought the movie would be hilarious.
I rented the movie on Box Office (Exclusive to Dstv, a south african TV company) for a fairly cheap price. I eagerly …
Please Don’t Eat the Daisies movie
A TV series came out of this movie production of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, starring the beautiful and talented Doris Day. Along with Day, David Niven starred. Day and Niven are a bit odd together, but it works really well. I’ve always been surprised by …
Pineapple Express
Have you guys ever watched Pineapple Express before..? Well, I have and it is a nice comedy that I love watching pretty much. Don’t know why movies that star kind of dumb actors work really well. An example would be Jim Carey. In this case, the …
50 Movie Pack Classic Musicals DVD Collection
I can only compare this 50 Movie Pack Classic Musicals from Mill Creek Entertainment to the company’s 100 Movie Pack Hollywood Classics, which I reviewed recently. One thing that is different is that the sleeves the DVDs come in are not as thick of material. They are …
Happy Feet
‘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 …
The Hitcher movie
The Hitcher is about a young man who travels through the american desert and has the bad luck of picking up a psychopathic hitcher. It’s just not any psychopath, but probably the most frightening and calculating ever, brilliantly played by Rutger Hauer. Actually, Hauer’s performance is what is most …
Lean on Me movie
I am reviewing the movie, Lean on Me, starring Morgan Freeman. This movie is based upon actual events. Morgan Freeman plays a free spirited, gifted, dedicated teacher, who tries his best to teach his kids whatever he can. When he loses his job, he moves on …
Torture
Torture was directed by Nolan H. Lebovitz. It stars Cole Hauser, Laurence Fishburne, and James Cromwell. It came out on video in 2008. It is a crime and suspense movie.
The plot is about an undercover FBI agent (Cole Hauser) and what he is forced to do in the line …
As Good As It Gets movie
I was able to watch this movie when I was still in college. I was required to watch it since I am taking up Nursing as a course and so to understand more about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder my instructor told me to watch this film. Jack Nicholson portrayed the role …
Vampire in Brooklyn,1995 movie
I guess the problem with this movie is that it cannot decide what it is: a horror or comedy. It is not scary enough to for the former and not funny enough for the latter. Eddie Murphy is playing the main character (and Eddie is not exactly vampire material, …
Movie 2012
I liked this movie. It’s another movie from Roland Emmerich, which I consider to be the master of disaster movies the likes of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. Apparently, he produced and directed this film for Columbia Pictures, which is of course owned by the …
Dead Like Me: Death Defying
The main thrust of Dead Like Me: Death Defying is that virgin George finally has sex in her death life and then gets extremely angry because her lover doesn’t call her afterwards. She spends the entire show stomping around like a two-year-old. She’s a brat here, and …
Lying to Be Perfect (movie)
Some time ago, the thought of watching a movie on Lifetime or a Lifetime Original movie was not appealing to me. However, these days I’ve found quite a few of them to be quite interesting and “Lying to Be Perfect” is one of those.
The movie is about a …

Legend of Zorro movie
The sequel to the very popular adventure film from the late 90s. In this film, Zorro went and got himself a son who doesn’t know his identity but only that his father is Alejandro de la Vega. The rest of the plot is very similar to the first movie, …
Heartbeat movie
From 1946, Heartbeat starred Ginger Rogers as Arlette Lafron, Jean-Pierre Aumont as Pierre de Roche, Adolphe Menjou as the Ambassador, and Basil Rathbone as Professor Aristide. Having Rathbone in this role is such a hoot. That’s because the good professor teaches students how to pick pockets and …
The Eclipse
The opinions concerning Michelangelo Antonioni are very divided. Some think he’s the greatest master of cinema ever, while others think he’s too pretentious and never really learned how to make a film properly. Personally I am somewhere between those two. I think his earlier work such as The Cry, …
The film The Secret
I found this “The Secret” to be quite ridiculous, a tad boring, and totally unrealistic. This “movie” generated much hype a couple of years ago and, like most, I fell for it all and ran out to rent it. BIG mistake. It spends two agonizing hours …
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 …
An American Carol
This is without doubt one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen! I admit when I checked it out I had never heard of it before, but I saw it stared Leslie Nielsen and I had always found him very funny in the “Naked Gun” movies. The DVD box …
Walk the Line
Walk the Line with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon.
Why make a movie based upon the rotten life of Johnny Cash? Another entertainer corrupted by rapid success hits rock bottom and then pulls out a turnaround is no big deal. Cash with his …
101 Dalmatians 2 Patch’s London Adventure Movie
101 Dalmatians. Whenever I heard that name, I would always think of the tiny little puppies that I used to cheer for when I was a child. I would yell at the screen to make sure that they got away from the evil Cruella De Vil. I used to …
Movie: Rocky Horror Picture Show
I was scrolling through the movies that were available for Netflix Instant Watch and was happy to come across the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show. Not having anything better to do this morning (my youngest daughter woke me up at 4 and I had two hours before I needed …
Mother knows Best movie (1997)
This movie should not be confused with another film that was released in the late nineteen twenties. I actually saw this film on Lifetime some time ago and heard it was based on a true story even though I’m not completely sure how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ve read …
Movie: Rambo
Well, I finally got a chance to watch the movie Rambo this past weekend.
When I started it, I honestly wasn’t expecting too much. There are way too many movies that try to remind us of 1980s films and I figured this would be one of those attempts (like Rock …
The Green Hornet, Blu-ray Superhero action comedy film
Who is to blame for the Green Hornet movie? Can we blame director Michel Gondry for coming back to the project after he rejected it back in 1997? Or can we blame all of the countless delays that start with writers bailing out to simple crew members? Maybe we …
Firewall (2006)

The Roommate (2011 Movie)
I knew The Roommate wasn’t going to be a spectacular film or even an original horror from the trailer, but the trailers made it look like a fun horror movie to go see with friends. Although the dialogue is terrible and the movie is extremely predictable if you’ve ever …
