Movie Descent
My cousin loved this movie when she saw it in the theaters. So when it came out on dvd she bought it and gave it to me to let me borrow and watch it. I thought it was really good. The only thing I didn’t like it in was …

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Movie)
I had heard and read a lot about The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus before I watched in on DVD yesterday. I have followed the director Terry Gilliam’s career from his Monty Python days, and have very much admired his somewhat strange and eccentric art and movies. I had also …
Cheaper by the dozen 1 Movie
Cheaper By The Dozen 1 (the first movie) is a great story. It’s about a family called the Bakers who have twelve children. Tom Baker played by Steve Martin is classic in his part. He stays true to the comical type of actor that he is. Tom’s wife played …
Movie Spoilers
I had went to see the movie “Cloverfield” just yesterday. I had read spectacular reviews and the movie has been hyped on the internet for quite some time now. The trailers seemed particularly interesting.
My only worry of this movie would be that it would be highly similar to …
Movie The Inside Man
This is a great movie which has all the right things, such as a good story and a great director as well as a wonderful cast. The director of “The Inside Man”, Spike Lee managed to produce a good movie in just 39 days of shooting.

The Whisperer in Darkness Film
The movies based on the works of the great master of horror H.F. Lovecraft generally, I think, are complete tragedy, because the directors usually ignore the atmosphere that makes the stories of this author special and put a greater emphasis on the excess ketchup blood and the monsters, losing …
The Last Airbender ( Movie )
This was the film adaptation of the hit Nickelodeon TV series. It was produced, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
The movie kickoff when Katara and Sokka discovered Aang. The latter was hidden beneath the iceberg. At that point, intruders from the Fire Village came to seek elders from …

Movie Hitman
Watching the DVD movie, Hitman really makes me yawn so much. Though it is based from a game from Playstation or something, it does nothing to me at all. It’s like watching Alias or just a B-Grade TV action drama series or something. I really felt it …
World of Glory movie
The swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson debuted with the incredibly successful A Love Story back in the late 1960s. His next film Giliap was very criticised and that made Roy heartbroken, so he stopped making feature films for almost 30 years. Then came World of Glory and Something has happened …
Movie “The Spell” (1977)
I love the 1970’s for it’s hilarious horror movies. I doubt I could ever find and watch them all. Hulu and Netflix have been great resources for me for hilarious horror movies from the ’70’s. What they considered horror is not at all what we think …
Film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Dazzling, sadistic, moving and creepy, there are far more adjectives to describe Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory than there are golden tickets for Charlie (the character that the original story by Roald Dahl was named for) to find while devouring chocolate bars.
Poor Charlie, while being poor economically …
Cloverfield
This is either a movie you’re going to love or you’re going to hate. As such, it’s understandable why this movie got mixed reviews. What I had read had been more positive than negative so I went ahead and picked it up on DVD (this was before …
A Knight’s Tale movie
This was the first movie I had seen from the late young actor Heath Ledger. I can remember I was in my early years of high school when this movie came out, and even though I hadn’t seen or heard of it advertising I can remember that a …
Igor (movie)
One of the animated movies that I was fortunate to watch earlier on this year was the movie “Igor”. To tell you the truth, I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it whenever it was first released not only because the trailer just didn’t interest me, but because …
Dallas Buyers Club, movie
One of the most anticipated movies of the year is living to its expectations. I’ve just finished watching the powerful story about a subject often considered delicate.
And who would have thought that Matthew McConaughey, the buffed blond playboy with southern accent, will be the man to make …
Sherrybaby (R, 2006)
For months I have been passing over the movie “Sherrybaby”—”thinking that it was just going to be fluffy sentimental crud that some indie films dish out. Boy was I wrong. The story is hinged on a woman who has been in jail for a few years. …
Transporter 3
I been watching the Transporter series for quite a while already. I was clearly impressed on how cool was the “Frank Martin” character.
In this third series, it involves Frank transporting a kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official. Clearly for a start, I had difficulties catching up on …
Bleak House (2005)
Bleak House is one of those movies I can watch over and over again. I am speaking of the newer, 2005 version, although the older one, that of 1985, is also well done (it had been one of my favorite movies until the new one came out). This movie, …
Movie Basket Case
Basket Case is an old movie from the year 1982. This movie is of course kind of cheesy and funny. Yet it is also scary, and kind of bloody. I think the old horror movies like Basket Case were a lot scarier, than the movies they make these days. …
Robin Hood Movie (2010)
I rarely go to the movie theater here in town. But, my wife and I wanted to spend some time away from the kids and ended up going to see the new Robin Hood movie.
I don’t know if it was worth the $30 we spent on tickets and popcorn. …
Pineapple Express
This is yet another comedy from the Happy Madison production line and is much typical with the plot line we come to expect from these films! Definitely not for the younger viewers and contains 100% adult material!! The movie stars Seth Rogan and James Franco who do an average …
2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
The second installation into the Fast and the Furious franchise, in this segment of the episodes, Brian, the under cover cop from the first one falls under the category of a disgraced cop that is forced to work with the police force in order to bring in a known …
The Music Man
Who can forget the wonderful song, 76 Trombones? Not me, and that’s why The Music Man is so memorable. I do love this movie, although I’m not all that hooked on the chemistry of Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. Both are great in their roles, and …

POLAR EXPRESS DVD
Do YOU believe in Santa? I mean, do you REALLY believe? You know, you cannot hear the bells of Christmas, if you don\’t really believe, according to the DVD, The Polar Express! This is a wonderful family movie that is just so delightful to watch with the entire family. …
Justice League
At the start of the millennium, there has been a resurgence of DC animations. Before they were being trampled upon by their counterpart, Marvel Comics, DC now is like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
In 2004, I got the chance to watch a group of DC superheroes lumped …
Alien 2 Aliens Special Edition 1986 BluRay Movie
When I got Alien 1 on Blu-Ray, I continued my collection with Aliens 1986 Special Edition. I loved the original movie and when my fears were quieted about the Alien films being changed with the Special Editions or Director’s Cuts, I was looking forward to seeing what was added …
Winter’s Bone Movie
Winter’s Bone is the kind of movie that drags you down for hours after you finish watching it. Nothing particularly gory or traumatizing happens, however this slow, heavy clunker pulls you down like a boulder. I cannot figure out for the life of me why or how this film …
Killshot (2008)
Starring: Diane Lane, Mickey Rourke, Thomas Jane, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rosario Dawson, and Hal Holbrook.
Directed by: John Madden.
Based on the 1989 novel Killshot by Elmore Leonard, the film adaptation of the same name is headed by John Madden who has put together a perfect cast to bring this to the …
Catch Me if You Can Movie (20020)
When the movie “Catch Me if You Can” came out in 2002, I was really excited to see it because it starred Leonardo DiCaprio. When I saw the preview of this film, I immediately thought that this was good.
This movie depicts the story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. …
Barbie Butterfly
Not only are my little nephews and nieces get psyched about the animated Barbie Butterfly, in fact, I do too. And you have a few flying butterfly characters of a Barbie beauty or should I say Barbie Butterfly. The main character is Mariposa, and she is a very …
The Lovely Bones movie
Let me start out by saying that I haven’t read the novel “The Lovely Bones”, which the movie was of course based on, so I’ll have to review the movie on its own merits. The story is about a young girl who is murdered, and her afterlife experiences, as …
The Rundown (2003 movie)
Wanting out of the life of being a “Retreival Expert”, Beck (The Rock) agrees to do a final job for his boss in return for his release…Beck wants to be a chef. Unfortunate for Beck, he has to go to the Amazon to get the boss’ son Travis (Sean …
Finding Nemo
What a scary thought. Lost your wife, then lose your only child, right before your eyes. If this wasn’t an animated feature, that would be a shocking premise, not a heartwarming one.
But I think this film’s subject matter was handled in a toned-down way, balanced between the search for …
Lucky Star anime series
I came across a cute and girly series anime recently, called “Lucky Star.” The story follows the lives of several girls attending a Japanese high school, with a sense of humor. The main character is Konata Izumi,a.k.a Kona -chan; she’s lazy due to her love of anime and video …
The Brady Bunch Movie (1995)
This movie is the remake of a classic TV series that used to air in the 70s, or it had like a 70s backdrop to it. The story is about two families that marry into each other, on one side of the family you have a father with three …
Bridesmaids (movie)
One fairly interesting movie that I watched in the early part of 2012 was the movie Bridesmaids. It starred a quite a few of Saturday Night Live’s most recent cast including one of my favourites who has been in other movies that I like, Maya Rudolf. I’m not the …
Pay It Forward (2001)
Watching this, Pay It Forward (2001) on the DVD the other night gave me a bit of self-confidence to embrace life more better.
The movie story stars Helen Hunt, Kevin Spacey and if you remember the talented kid from the movie the Sixth Sense, it is none other than …
The Cabin in the Woods (2012 film)
Just hours ago I watched The Cabin in the Woods with my sister who entreated for my company. I obliged to go see the movie because of the things I had read in highbrow film periodicals that made me curious. I probably would have viewed a different …
A Delicate Balance (movie)
“A Delicate Balance” is the story of the self-destruction of an upper class American family. Katharine Hepburn and Paul Scofield play Agnes and Tobias a refined couple worn down by life. Their friends and family add primarily negative angst to their lives. Agnes’ sister Claire (played by Kate Reid) …
Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
I would have to admit that Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones is certainly a step up from Episode I, although I personally enjoy Episode III the most out of the original trilogy. Whereas Episode I had the burden of introducing characters and not just setting up …
Bimal Roy
Bimal Roy :- Bimmal roy is one of the best film makers Indian cinema has ever produced he has given some great movies to Indian cinema’s His most popular works include , Do begha zamin , bandhini , Do annkhe barah hath . He is well known …
Constantine Movie
In the name of all that is horror…don’t waste your time or money with Constantine. It’s a joke, no, less than a joke, it’s utter rubbish. Keanu Reeves has gotten to be a tired, boring actor who NEEDS to add some spice to his roles/characters. The plot of the …
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
When I rented the movie “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” I figured it wouldn’t be as good as the first two Mummy movies made before it (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns). I was right.
If this had been made as a stand-alone movie, perhaps a martial arts …
The Dark Knight
After the 90s came and went and the Batman movie series continued its steady decline at the dismay of true fans, I figured I might as well forget seeing a better Batman than Michael Keaton, a better villain than Jack Nicolson as the Joker, or a better director than …
