Wanted
“Wanted” is the most recent Angelina Jolie success movie. Although this is labelled a Jolie movie, in reality “Wanted” is all about the actor, James McAvoy and the director, Timur Bekmambetov great talents! This movie was very much well received by critics and the general public.
It is very difficult …

“A Christmas Carol” (2009 film)
There have many versions of the beloved film, “A Christmas Carol” produced and viewed throughout the world. Perhaps one of the most wonderfully entertaining movies of this section that I have seen was the 2009 “A Christmas Carol” movie with Jim Carrey. This movie shied away from his usual …
The Mist
Frank Darabont had proven himself a skilled director when it came to adapting Stephen King’s works to film. He created a modern masterpiece with “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile” was also very well done. For the first time, the director gets to tackle a horror …
Beowulf
When I first saw the previews for this movie I was not excited at ALL. I thought there was no way this could be a good movie. The animation looked really awkward from what I could tell and I also thought that 3-D went out of style …
Ghost of Girlfriends Past Movie
When I saw this movie, I immediately expected it to be a good one since it features Jennifer Garner and Matthew McConaughey; Michael Douglas has a cameo role in this and it just adds flavor to the movie. The story is about a young bachelor named Connor Mead (Matthew …
Kung Fu Panda
Kung Fu Panda, produced by Dreamworks pictures, scheduled for a released on 5 June 2008. The cast consist of fellow funny man Jack Black (who starred in various comedies like the Holiday, School of Rock), Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Dustin Hoffman.

The Red Headed League
I am reviewing The Red Headed League, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which was produced by Granada television in 1983. This episode finds a red headed man requiring Holmes’ service. This red headed man was given a short term job …
Movie: So I Married an Axe Murderer
Synopsis: A poet (Mike Myers) begins dating and eventually marries a local butcher but suspects she might be a serial killer.
What I liked about this movie: The plot of this 1993 film is clever and funny. You have a woman who seems perfect in every way. But, she is …
The Siege (1998) movie
This was part two of the dvd two pack that my dad recently purchased so I decided to watch this one too. He said he had seen it before and that he enjoyed it so that sounded good enough for me to check it out.
The plot of this …
The Lonely Guy Movie
Another addition to my collection of silly movies. Even Steve Martin can’t save it, and that tells you something. But, even such a good comedy actor as him cannot work wonders when the script truly sucks.
The story is about “lonely guys” - single men who for some reason cannot …
Hatchet
Hatchet is a horror movie about a group of people on a tour boat who become stranded in the middle of a swamp and run into a deformed murderer. The plot is pretty straightforward. It is typical horror movie fare. I think that anyone, when renting a movie …
The Dark Knight DVD
I am such a big fan of sci-fi movies and super hero type ones. I watched every movie, every sequels, trilogies. Everything! name it i watched it. This DVD was the recent one I bought, I was so busy i have no time to purchase the most recent ones. …

From Hell movie
From Hell gives us the terrifying story of “Jack the Ripper” who savagely killed prostitutes in London late in the 19th century. A very effectful journey, with a drug addict Johnny Depp as the police officer who tries to solve the crimes, and Robbie Coltrane as his helper. The …
Transformers
If you’re a child of the eighties like me, then you probably remember some cool cartoons. Not the snoopy’s and the garfield’s and stuff like that, but the more action laden cartoons like Voltron and Transformers. True to Hollywood form, they’ve taken everything you can think of and turned …
Movie: Doubt
I have finished watching a movie with my mom and my brother last night. The movie is called “Doubt”. Starring Meryll Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. The movie started and ended in the same location - the parish and the school run by Meryll Streep as the …
Time Traveler’s Wife movie
My daughter and I just watched the Time Traveler’s wife on DVD and we both really enjoyed it. It starts out with Henry (Eric Bana), discovering he is a time traveler at the age of six, right after his mother dies. It was some kind of a getetic thing …
Scarface movie
When Tony comes to Miami, Florida, things are never the same. Tony is a Cuban refugee who tries to start life over in a new country. Al Pacino is brilliant in this role as Tony, who starts out with nothing and becomes a huge drug lord. Tony wants to …
Bruno
If you liked Sacha Baron Cohen’s most famous movie, Borat, you will find Bruno funny. Yes, this latest controversial and extremely politically incorrect comedy is over-the-top in the poor taste department. I do admit to finding the reactions of the people he encounters to be hilarious, and in …
Only God Forgives, movie (2013)
Drive marked the successful collaboration between director Nicolas Winding Refn and actor Ryan Gosling. It was hailed as one of the best films of 2011. When I heard that the pair were working together again, I was very intrigued by what they could create together next. …
The Holiday movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet, Joe Black, Cameron Diez, and Jude Law. Kate Winslet’s character is a fool for love, but the problem is, the guy she love doesn’t love her back. She’s involved in a game of cat and mouse as he …
The Lion King
The Lion King is the greatest 2-D animated movie ever made in my opinion. The film has great characters and great messages peppered throughout the whole movie. This movie aroused everyone of my emotions. I found myself crying and laughing off and on the whole movie …
An Affair to Remember movie
No, Warren Beatty was not crazy in deciding to remake the film An Affair to Remember, I have to say he has attained a certain degree of success. Now it is time to examine the real deal for what it is worth. In the heyday of black …
Cold Mountain (2003)
This is the story of a man who is thrown in the middle of the American Civil War and the trials that he must go through. On the flip side of that situation is his journey, a journey that he makes back to the arms of the woman that …
Project Almanac (science fiction movie)
As soon as I watched the trailer for the movie Project Almanac it was easy for me to determine that it wasn’t going to be very good. However since I’m generally unable to resist movies about time travel I decided to watch it. While it did live up to my …
Avengers: Age of Ultron, movie
One of the most expected movies from this summer. “Avengers: Age of Ultron”. A sequel to the big box office success to the first one. Bringing with it high expectations from the fans.
Directed by Joss Whedon, followed by the same cast and adding this time the talent of James Spader …
Power to the Peephole
No episode better showcases the out of date parodies of Tripping the Rift than this episode: “Power to the Peephole” which bases its entire B plot (or is it the C plot) around the whole Monica Lewinsky debacle. Not just a joke or two, but it is actually …
Movie The Hangover
The Hangover was definitely a guy’s comedy. Telling the story of the morning after a friend’s bachelor party, where the 3 groomsmen wake up with no memory of the previous evening, a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in the closet, this movie definitely appeals to the …
Adventureland (2009) Movie
If you’ve seen the 2009 movie Adventureland’s poster, you probably wouldn’t think it’s a kind of dark coming-of-age story. Well, it is. Anyone expecting laugh-out-loud comedy in the same vein as director Greg Mottola’s previous film, Superbad, would be in for a disappointment. I was glad to find, however, …
Saw-Movie
I just watched this movie on television last night. I had not seen it for a while and it was great. I have seen all the Saw movies right after they came out at the theater, but the first is my favorite. I had not idea what I was …
The Other Boelyn Girl
The interesting thing about movies based on the life of a real historical figure is you sometimes get a point of view that is different than you would come to expect. And, that difference makes the movie much better than you expected it to be.
The Other Boleyn Girl is …
Baby Mama, comedy film
From the man that brought us the Austin Powers movies comes a new kind of comedy. Well Baby Mama isn’t really a new kind of movie; it is a comedy movie that has two leading ladies and no one else. Baby Mama might be the best movie from both …
It! The Terror From Beyond Space, MGM/UA Midnite Movies DVD
It! The Terror From Beyond Space is one of several science fiction movies made in the Fifties that have become archetypes of future SF blockbusters, most notably Alien.
Produced in 1958, the movie takes place in the future, 1973 to be precise! The first manned trip to Mars …
Movie Just Friends
I must admit I don’t like watching Ryan Reynolds movies. For some reason, he is obsessed with the words ‘fuck’ and ’sex’, however he managed to convince me in this comedy movie with the name “Just Friends”. I like this movie because Reynolds finally managed to involve himself in …
Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I have read this book, faster than any other books I have read because this is one book that I really enjoy; it is very light in story, a bit shallow if you are a very deep person, and just is the kind of book that you read for …
Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I felt sad after watching this movie. I thought it had great promise considering it was dealing with a different kind of addiction. Unfortunately, the script and the beat made the theme unimportant and somewhat irrelevant. I found so many scenes quite slapstick-y and dumb, and I felt irritated …
Ace Ventura Pet Detective
This was Jim Carrey’s breakthrough film, he plays Ace Ventura, an animal lover and pet detective, the best at what he does, rescuing a large assortment of animals, small dogs to dolphins. He is asked to find the missing Miami Dolphins mascot Snowflake. Ace follows a number of clues …
Troll 2 movie
The movie I am about to review is considered one of the worst movies of all timec called Troll 2.This is for a very good reason.I will give my own personal reasons why the movie is so horrible.
The plot is essentially about Goblins that turn humans into plant-like matter …
Wonderland movie
Michael Winterbottom is a british filmmaker who has a very extensive production on his resume the last 10 years. The critics have been very positive about all of these films that include 24 hour party people and Welcome to Sarajevo. He often uses a documentary-like style and focuses a …
Firehouse movie
This review is for a movie called Firehouse, which is not to be confused with Richard Dean Anderson’s Firehouse movie of 25 years later. However, whereas in 1997 it was women having to deal with being accepted, in this 1973 version, it’s African Americans struggling to break in …
Robin Hood movie
If a movie were intended to totally turn someone off of the old time legend of Robin Hood, Maid Marion, and the Merry Men, this 2010 version of Robin Hood would do it. The opening was depressing and vulgar, and it was anything from the bright and usually …
Film Up
This is an animated movie by Disney/Pixar. It is 90 minutes long. It is rated PG.
I have to say it is the most wonderful cartoon movie I’ve seen in a very long time. It is about an old man who decides that it is never too late to pursue …
Derailed (2002)
Canada, you must be so proud. The only butt kicker who can rival Steven Seagal in this modern age is at it again with this 2002 film, action packed and adventure lade, Derailed. Jean-Claude Van Damme, Canada’s favorite son, is revising his role as the toughest SOB ever to …

Jab we met star shahid Kapur and Karina Kapur in lead role. The story is about a gal Karina Kapur who losses her Train to her home town Bhainda and blame Shahid Kapur for it. And ask him to drop her home. During the …
Transformers, The Movie
It’s hard to say who was more excited about this movie when the news first hit the floor. All the sugar charged ten-year-old boys who really just wanted to see some big robots blow stuff up, or the generations of baby boomers who remember it from when they …
Human Remains
Before Merchant and Gervais brought the mockumentary back to our screens with The Office, there was Human Remains. Although its legacy remains in the minds of those who fell in love with back in 2000, it certainly hasn’t earned the success it deserves. The show follows a simple premise: …
