Movies Reviews
Australia movie
The main actress of the movie “Australia”, Nicole Kidman described it as “the Australian version of Gone with the Wind”. I like to think that “Australia” is a cross version between two modern movies - “Titanic” and “Peal Harbour” - because the movie concept seems to thread on the …
Stomp the Yard (starring Columbus Short)
Before you guys go into thinking that Stomp the Yard is not worth it, think again. Sure, this movie does has its bad moments, but one word or term that I’ve come to learn would be “stepping”. This is like a lingo known as dancing or step up …
Ingmar Bergman’s “The Seventh Seal” movie
Imagine… Back before engines or high speed communication, where battle is done with metal blades and crude and cruel superstitions serve as the voice of both law and medical science, you give a decade of your life traveling far from home to fight the enemies of your religion. After so …
Dukes of Hazzard
From the previews, the movie, Dukes of Hazzard, looks absolutely stupid and something I would never watch in a million years.
Well, I did wind up watching it and was surprised at just how funny it was.
The Dukes of Hazzard is an entertaining film that essentially spoofs the television series …
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
I saw this movie a day ago because the title caught my eye when I was looking on the television guide for movies to watch. When I watched it though, I realised that the film was more than just a strange title, but it was a heartbreaking film which …
Legally Blond 1 and 2
No matter what the actress Reese Whiterspoon does with her career, she will be associated with the “Legally Blond” movies for which (for the first movie) she won an Emmy Award. Whiterspoon is simply fantastic in the role of cute Elle Woods whose life is all pink! Whenever Whiterspoon wears …
Batman
Several years ago, before Christian Bale took over the title role in a re-invention of the franchise, Michael Keaton wore a cape and became Batman. And, even today, this movie (unlike the sequels after it) remains one of my favorite super hero films.
Keaton does a great job playing Batman …

Dead Leaves anime OVA
I’ve seen some terrible movies in my day. “Catwoman”, “Transformers 2″, “Turkish Star Wars” to name a few. I’ve seen movies so bad that I roll my eyes when people make fun of “Twilight”. Granted, I’ve only seen the first movie and it wasn’t particularly good …
Love Field (movie)

The movie Monsieur Hire is a tragic type of movie. It is mainly about two separate persons who have no similar attributes except both are extremely lonesome. The subplot is about murder. In example, the initial scene of the movie shows that of a corpse. …
The Right Stuff
I got a chance to watch a movie I haven’t seen in ages last night; The Right Stuff.

Zip.ca Movie Service
I have had a subscription to Zip.ca for about four months. I live in a rural area, so I like not having to rush into town to return movies as there are no due dates for titles as long as your membership is current.
I pay under $30 a …

When Harry Met Sally
I want to review the movie when Harry met Sally because it is a long-time favourite of mine. It came out approximately 20 years ago, when I was still a teenager, and I still love it.
I love it so much because it is not a simple love story like …
Rocket Science movie
The movie Rocket Science is stars Reece Thompson as a 15 year old boy with a bad stuttering problem who joins the debate team because a girl, played by Anna Kendrick asks him too.
On its surface this appears to be a typical story of a boy overcoming the odds. …
Movie Taken
Taken (2009) is, without a doubt, the best action movie I’ve seen in years. Everything about the movie shines, from its pitch-perfect acting, to its well-written story and dialogue, to it’s incredible non-stop action sequences.
Liam Neeson shows that he can still carry a movie despite being in his late-fifties. …
Chocolate (movie)
Chocolate is a beautiful movie about a mother and daughter who move to a small town and turn the town upside down! They come in red hoods, much like Red Riding Hood. Evidently the wind started blowing and the preacher and town elders knew something important was about to …
The Sentinel movie
When the actor, Michael Douglas chooses to do a thriller, 99.9% it is a guarantee that is going to be a good one. “The Sentinel” confirms this theory. Douglas involvement in this project is simply great. His on screen sparks with Kiefer Sutherland are a guarantee to make you …
Quantum of Solace (2008) movie
I was completely surprised when I compared this one with those of my favorites Bond movies. I have always been a great fan of Bond movies and have watched almost all of them. I have to say that this movie really disappointed me and hurt my expectations. First of …
The Curious Case of Benjamen Button movie
The movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was written by F.Scott Fitzgerald. This is a movie about a man who ages in reverse and throughout the movie we would see events about growing up and college times that surround the 19th and 20th century. You would be surprise …
Tropic Thunder, Thunderously Funny
If comedy-action movies are your thing, then “Tropic Thunder” is a must-see. If not, I would still suggest checking it out as this movie provides more laughs than I ever expected.
I normally don’t go for the action-adventure movies; however, Jack Black and Ben Stiller have always provided hilarious comedic …
Dumb & Dumber
I don’t think anyone else but Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey could play Harry and Lloyd. You hear that all the time, that so-and-so are born to play a role, but Jim Carrey was Lloyd Christmas, and Jeff was Harry Dunne. They both stepped into these characters seamlessly, artfully. …
Dan in Real Life
You cannot help but adore the actors, Steve Carell and Juliette Binoche is this romantic comedy. To be honest, I found it hard to associate Binoche with a comedy because I have always seen her interprets very serious and difficult characters; however I must admit that she is a …
Dogtooth (2009 film)
“Dogtooth” is a masterpiece of the weird. This Greek art house film, a winner at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009, simply kept me glued to the screen for about one hour and a half and left me with a million questions.
I found the atmosphere of the film …

Perkins14 movie
Although I’ve read a lot of good reviews about this movie, I wouldn’t even rate it as average. Instead, I would give it a rating of below average because even though the movie itself wasn’t completely atrocious, I still think that it was somewhat disappointing. This was because I …

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, movie

This movie has quite a few small story intertwined that makes it a very captivating and intelligent movie. You have a young gambler who gets in over his head as he tries his hand at trying to beat an old conman at his own game and winds up in …
A Night at the Roxbury

The Benchwarmers
One of my favorite artist is Rob Schneider. Well aside from the fact that he is half Filipino, I consider him as one of the best comedian in Hollywood.
I’ve first watched the movie 3 months ago, I just rented a DVD but it was absolutely ludicrous, we (me and …
Nacho Libre movie
There are movies that make you laugh, and then there are movies that make you laugh. This is one of those movies. This has to be the very funniest movie that I have ever seen, and it is all entirely child-friendly, which is amazing to find in this day …
Popeye Movie
I got the movie Popeye as a Christmas gift last year but never sat down to watch it because I’ve seen it before and, even though I couldn’t remember much about it, I remembered it wasn’t the best movie ever.

Yes Man (starring Jim Carrey)
Imagine having to say “yes” all the way and not able to say “no” at all. It would be very, very strange indeed and definitely scary. Jim Carrey sizzles pretty much with the character of Carl Allen and from start till finish, I kept on laughing like a …

Disturbing Behavior
One advantage of having a trial of ShowTime for the next three months is I get to see some movies I haven’t seen in a while. This included the movie Disturbing Behavior.
Even though the plot of the movie skips around a bit and is weak in some spots, I …
The Truth about Cats & Dogs
I must say that I don’t like much watching Uma Thurman movies. She chooses to bring to big screen such bizarre characters. “The Truth about Cats & Dogs” is the only movie where I truly like her interpretation because it fits so well with the script of this movie. …
Tribes movie
From 1970, the movie Tribes is not a favorite. It took me three times to actually get through the movie, though I will say that once my frame of mind was preferred for the type of movie it was going to be, I got through it fairly easily.
