Vamps (movie)
I watched the movie “Vamps” last night for the first time and I thought that it was one of the most interesting vampire movies that I’ve watched in a very long time. The funny thing was that I’ve never heard of the movie before last night, which is a …

The first time I found out about the movie was not in the nineteen nineties when it was released, but some time after I got cable. I immediately developed a love for it then because it had a sort of independent movie feel towards it and I had just …

This is the everyday life among some individuals in a circus companionship. The basic idea is the same as Fellini’s La Strada or Bergman’s Sawdust & Tinsel. The Greatest Show on Earth was directed by the legendary silent filmmaker Cecil B. Demille (during his sound period however) and is …
A Monster Calls (2016 Fantasy Drama Film)
Some films are mistakenly advertised as fantasy movies - and you expect to watch these movies with that fairytale-ish ending you thought you deserved but instead you end up crying your heart out because of just how sad they are. I remember watching a 2007 film called Bridge to Terabithia …

Legend (movie)
I had heard of the Tom Cruise film “Legend,” but I never got around to watching it until last night. While, overall, it wasn’t a bad movie, I’m not sure if I was overly impressed by it either.
Cruise plays a hermit who is called on to face the Prince …

22 Jump Street (comedy movie)
22 Jump Street was one of the movies that I looked forward to seeing the most this year. This was because I enjoyed the first one so immensely that I couldn’t help being curious about what idea the writers were going to use for the second one. Actually getting to …
Enchanted (Movie)
This movie was hilarious. It features a modern fairy tale story set in the present time and what I like about it most is that the famous and cool James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men) is actually such a romantic prince here and he does a very great job at …
Gone Baby Gone
Wow. Where to begin with this film. I admit I was a bit nervous about Ben Affleck’s directorial debut, but all of those trepidations were washed away within the first ten minutes of the movie. The story opens with the kidnapping of a little girl and the …

After Earth (2013, Movie)
When I heard about this movie, a science-fiction, with Will Smith and his son, Jaden Smith, I thought it was gonna be a good film, due to previous movies in which Will Smith played. For me, personally, it was a disappointment, and here is why…
First of all, the movie …
A Dog’s Breakfast DVD
The A Dog’s Breakfast DVD is pretty terrific. If you’re a fan of David Hewlett or this movie specifically, I’ll start at the top by saying you’ll want to own this DVD.
A Dog’s Breakfast is a quirky independent film, but it’s an entertaining one as well. It …
Shawshank Redemption movie
Movies have always been a source of joy, happiness and sorrow at the same time. But every once in a while comes along a movie which inspires you and makes you feel that this movie has enriched your life. For me there is no better example than shawshank redemption. …

The Mist movie
I received The Mist from blockbuster about two days ago. I watched it thinking it was going to be a pretty good movie. I usually like Stephen King’s stories but this one I didn’t. I didn’t like the movie at all. It was not scary. It was gory and …
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Pulp Fiction (1994) is the second film from contraversial director Quentin Tarantino and is definitely a film masterpiece. Out of his 5 films, this one passes all the rest in both originality and clever dialogue.
The story is told in 3 different parts that all have something to do …
MosquitoMan (2004)
This movie was much better than I expected it to be. Don’t let the corny name or the image on the DVD case’s cover stop you from watching this fun horror film. And if you’re thinking it’s a bit similar to “The Fly”, you’re right. It’s a more modern …
Clifford the Big Red Dog Doggie Detectives
I went to our local Movie Gallery last night in search of a movie for my 4-year-old daughter. She has been watching a lot of Scooby Doo movies lately and, because she’s a bit too young to be watching without getting scared, has been having nightmares. So, I wanted …
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
I’m not much of an animated movie fan. I love watching movies with real people in it, not cartoons! I think those animated movies are just plain childish. Sometimes, what is funny to a child may no longer be that funny in the adult context. But, I gotta hand …
Children of men
I didn’t really care for this movie. Half of the movie was kind of interesting and the other half was boring. I especially didn’t like the ending of it. I think that it could have been made a lot better, the acting could have been better, and the ending …
Full Metal Jacket (1987) movie
Full Metal Jacket is incredible movie directed by Stanley Kubrick. I consider it one of the best movies of all time for a reason, and I will show you in this review.
…
Batman Begins
Batman Begins is the second best comic book movie ever made; surpassed only by its sequel, The Dark Knight. This is a bold statement to make considering how many comic movies that have been made including all the Spider-Mans, Fantastic Four, and the older Batman movies. I …
Thor The Dark World Film
What happens when the gods lose their power to something more powerful and ancient than themselves, something primal - the complete darkness? “Thor :The Dark World” is a film in which I think that the team of Marvel reaches a whole new level in their skills… Expertly served storyline …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
When the movie “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” was released in movie theatres, I had no interest in seeing it for some reason. However, recently when I was bored I managed to watch the movie and was surprised that I actually thought of passing it over …
Space Jam Movie
Here we go again, another movie starring basketball players trying to be actors…why don’t they just stick to what the do best, cause acting is not one of them. The enjoyment came from the animated charactes that gave the movie some glimmer of hope, but, not much. The theme …
Movie The Godfather
The Godfather (part 1) is one of a few movies I watched several times, besides Kramer vs Kramer, Accidental Hero, Heat, Ronin, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, The Untouchable, Rain Man, The Deer Hunter and…uhm, Entrapment (What? It is an entertaining movie, isn’t it?).
Based on the novel of notable author …
No Regret / Hoo-hoi-ha-ji Hanh-a, Lee Song Hee Il Movie
As a country that is considered conservative, so the people of South Korea known as a community that tends to homophobia. Unique, in 2005, ‘The King and the Clown’ is thick with the aura of homosexuality to be most in demand movies that year. Success in the pan spectators, …
Film Watchmen
I saw ‘Watchmen’ at a local IMAX theatre and the film really scores a 100% rating for presentation. It’s slick, glossy and packed with imaginative set pieces and special effects. The story on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. I never read the graphic novel by …
Romeo and Juliet
I am reviewing the movie, Romeo and Juliet. This is Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Seventeen-year-old Leonard Whiting and 15-year-old Olivia Hussey play Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers who defy their feuding families in order to be together. Leonard Whiting and Olivia do …
Final Destination 3 (2006)
The third and hopefully the last in the trilogy known as Final Destination. This time they go too far and make the movie too predictable. Whereas in the first movie, you can understand to some extent what happened after the boy had a premonition in the form of a …
Hammer Horror Series dvd
I was very happy to borrow this dvd set from a friend of mine since I like some of the classic horror movies on it. I personally think that having a dvd like this is a great deal for fans of classic horror movie films since it contains so …
The Little Mermaid
My daughter has dozens of original Disney films in our library for her to watch. One of my favorites of these has to be the classic movie “The Little Mermaid.”

Pirates of the Caribbean,Dead Man’s Chest
This movie had it all: action, adventure, humor and more! Ths movie told a good story, kept you entertained in the process and left you wanting more. Three of us ranging from 12-40 years old went and each one of us walked out saying the same thing; that was …
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
I know at my age it would sound ridiculous but I really like this movie. I wanted to believe even just for two hours that I could go to a place like this. Where in I could walk around both indoor and outdoor and all I can …
Sumuru movie
Sumuru isn’t an A-movie. It’s not really even a B-movie. I actually liken Sumuru to a Patrick Swayze movie called Skatetown USA. Both are so bad that they are oddly enticing and fun to watch. Sumuru’s main attraction is its star, Michael Shanks, who plays …
The Hunger Games movie
Hello people and let’s talk about “The Hunger Games.” . Now, before I start giving my opinion on this movie and any other following movies, you should know that I do not read books, not one bit; I just don’t find them entertaining enough. Moving on, the movie wasn’t …
This Is the End 2013 Movie
This movie was a blast to sit through and I am saying this since I watched this movie at 3 am in the morning and I just had to write a review. I rate this movie 5 stars as it was not only funny,but also scary and at the …
When a man loves a woman
The best way to describe the movie “When a Man Loves a Woman” is a touching story about alcoholism and how it can break a healthy family apart. Med Ryan’s and Andy Garcia’s interpretation in this movie is simply wonderful. I am sure this movie touched a lot …
