Movie: From Prada to Nada
I first saw this title on my T.V. guide as I was scrolling to search for programs to record on my Rogers PVR.
From Prada to Nada sounded like a catchy name for a film and it caught my attention when I looked at the info on the movie. …
Confessions of a shopaholic movie
I saw the movie recently, one early morning when I wasn’t feeling to well and I couldn’t sleep, and I must say that it actually managed to keep my interest and to somewhat distract me from my sickness.
Confessions of a shopaholic has all the classic features …
Dream House Movie (2011)
Needless to say that every person walking into the movie theater with me last night to see Dream House had real great expectations from it. And there was no reason not to have them, after all it seemed the movie had all the right ingredients. It had reliable and …
Vantage Point
Vantage Point is a movie that I had watched a few weeks back which I think had no plot whatsoever. Indeed if you see the title, it is sort of misleading and you would think that it is a boring movie. But it turned out to be a …
Critters (1986)
This show is another program from the same people from Stag that tries to bust cheating partners by spying on them, doing extended surveillance and then when they have collected enough data, show it to the other party involved. Usually the duration of the show doesn’t last very …
Movie: The Dark Ages
I had some free time yesterday because I decided to take the day off from work and didn’t have my youngest daughter like I thought would be the case. Since I had to wait for my wife to get home before leaving to do something, I ended up looking …
“The Toolbox Murders” (1978 Film)
The Toolbox Murders is a well known “slasher” film released in 1978. I had heard good about the name before and, being a huge horror film enthusiast, I figured it was well worth giving a view. After seeing the film, I feel that it was a good film that …
Kids in the Hall Season 2 DVD
I remember watching Kids in the Hall when I was growing up. We had a late night television station that ran the episodes in their edited form, and I always loved the show. The show was centered around a group of sketch comedians from Canada, and each had their …
Movie The Whole Nine Yards
I asked a few people I know if they liked this comedy film, but some of them said it was corny and silly even though I can remember that when I watched it, I thought it was one of the most hilarious comedy films I had ever watched. I …
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 movie
I absolutely hated the original Cheaper by the Dozen movie and thought Hollywood was stupid coming out with another one. However, after seeing Cheaper By The Dozen 2, I’m willing to admit this is a rare case when the sequel is much better than the original.
The movie centers around …
Argo (2012 movie)
Argo is a great movie that accounts for an American foreign crisis widely unknown to the public. The plot follows CIA-agent Tony Mendez’s rescue of six US diplomats isolated in Iran, during the time of the 1980 Iranian Hostage Crisis. He achieves this momentous tasks through creating a fake …
Non-Stop (movie)
I was looking forward to seeing the movie “Non-Stop” since February when it was in theatres since it had Liam Neeson, one of my favourite actors as a main character in it, and because the trailer that I had seen for it made the movie look interesting. I ended …
Bed time Stories - Adam Sandler
Adam Sandler is one of my favorite actors. I love almost all the movies he made. He can make me laugh without going overacting or overboard. He acts so naturally. And he acts so well.
Bedtime Stories is the latest movie I watched and …
The devil wears prada
This is a Meryl Streep movie, and like all of her movies she is simply fantastic. I find that Streep gives that extra input in her work that makes her such an extra ordinary actress. I personally compare her a lot to the actor, Joaquin Phoenix they …
Horror of Spider Island Movie
I ended up watching an old movie last night called Horror of Spider Island. From what I can tell, this was a foreign movie (likely German) that was dubbed and was supposed to be a scary movie.
Well, I have to tell you, this black and white film was one …
Cocktail
“Cocktail” helped the actor Tom Cruise to become more famous in Hollywood; however I don’t believe that this is his best film from his initial stages. If I had to chose between “Cocktail”, “Top Gun” and “Risky Business”, I prefer to watch “Top Gun” and putting “Cocktail” the least movie …
Charlton Heston
I always enjoyed watching Charlton Heston perform in movies. Several of his movies are among those I enjoy with regularity. Lucy Gallant and The Ten Commandments are probably my two most favorite of Heston’s films.
Heston was an outspoken man. He was especially vocal about his belief …
Movie Car Wash
I like to watch movies from the past because it’s a way for me to step into another era, get lost there, walk around and leave with a dialect and mind set unlike what’s heard these days. Sometimes I become nostalgic of the 70’s, even though I wasn’t born …
Birth ( 2004) movie
In 2004, there was quite a controversy surrounding this film starring Nicole Kidman. The premise is simple: Nicole Kidman’s character “Anna” loses her husband. And ten years later, a little boy shows up on her doorstop claiming to be her deceased husband Sean. What …
The Wedding Date movie
I decided to watch this movie because the trailer seemed to be an interesting story and because the actor, Dermot Mulroney had the main part. I must say that although it is a good movie, it isn’t as great as I imagined.
So what went wrong with this movie? I …
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. …
Capitalism: A Love Story by Michael Moore
This documentary is characteristic of all of Michael Moore’s films-it is done in a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek style. If you like his movies, then you will love this one, because his style and subject matter are up to his usual standards. For me, he always manages to make me think …
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
This movie is the story of your average turtle who, while trekking through the green ooze, managed to gain life beyond that of your normal turtle. As they grew, they were taken in by the master, a giant rat named Splinter, and he trained them in the ways of …
Bad Neighbours (movie)
My co-workers and I decided that we should probably go see a movie for the two for one special a local theatre was having. Two of us wanted to see the new Spiderman movie and the other two wanted to go and see one of those random chick flicks …
America’s Sweethearts movie
It took me a very long time to actually sit down and watch the movie America’s Sweethearts since I’ve never been a big fan of the actress Julia ROberts because I’m so used to seeing her in romance movies, and frankly, she has never held my attention. Thus, …
12 Years A Slave (Movie 2013)
“12 Years A Slave” is a 2013 Biography, drama and history movie directed by Steve McQueen. I found the title of this movie to be very attractive making me imagine about some kind of slavery story. I didn’t recognized any of the main actors in the movie except Brad …

I recently watched a sequal to the home alone franchise.The first two home alone movies starred Macauly Culkin.After that,the rest of the home alone movies didnt star macauly and deteriorated in quality.Hoem Alone 4 is the worst of the them.The acting in it is pertty bad.The lead child is …

Someone Like You movie
“Someone like you” is a cute romantic movie with Ashley Judd as the main actress. The best way to describe this movie is a female version of “Buying the Cow” with the actor, Jerry O’Connell in the main role. Between the two movies personally I much prefer “Buying the …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
I am Greek and when we saw the movie advertized for the MY Big Fat Greek Wedding. I had to watch this movie. It was hilarious.
While watching this movie I could see so many things that some of the people that I know related to this movie. …

Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 11
Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 11 which is titled the Q and the gray was a very interesting yet odd episode for Voyager. I remember when Janeway first encountered the Q in a previous episode but never realized that he sort of holds a certain amount of fascination …
Never Back Down
With the current and ever-rising mainstream popularity of mixed martial arts, I am not at all surprised to see movies using MMA in their plot lines.
I only wish they would do a better job of it! Maybe use better actors instead of relying on “pretty”.
Never Back Down focuses …
The Lake House
I wonder why this movie was so under-advertised when it was released in 2006, and why it went pretty much unnoticed? However, “unnoticed” is probably not the right word; all my friends who appreciate good movies did notice it, and commented on its unusual style and beauty.
“The Lake House” …
Mindhunters movie

The Strangers 2007 DVD
I was really anticipating this movie, not enough to go see it in theaters but that is an entirely different post. The previews revealed enough to get me interested but they didn’t show all the best parts, which seems to be a running theme these days. It …
Head over Heels movie
“Head over Heels” is a cute romantic movie about how a young girl’s life can change from a disasterous moment to even more disasters when she meets the good looking hank that lives in the opposite from her building.
In this movie we see how Amanda (Monica Potter) is head …
The Lake House movie
The Lake House is a romantic movie with enough drama to keep you engaged throughout the movie. This Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves starred movie has a unique and a bit confusing plot and this is for me the USP of the movie. The protagonists of the movie live …
Snitch (2013 Film)
Within the beginning segments of Snitch, it’s noted that it was inspired by real life happenings. This is somewhat true. A person was incorrectly labeled as selling illegal substances after a supposed mate set him up and because of this, the individual was given ten year compulsory imprisonment for …
Gandhi (1982)
I really admired the movie Gandhi (1982) directed by Richard Attenborough. From the boring history books that I read from high school and from classroom discussions that did not give me as much information as I need, the personality that I had been curious about finally came to …
Without a Trace Movie
This movie may be little known to the general public.But is shown frequently on most cable and satellite channels. It is one of the most heart warming and heart wrenching movies i’ve ever seen.It involves the disappearance of an 8 year old little boy on his way to school.The …
Aliens
Aliens is probably one of the movies that can scare me till this day. The monsters in this movie are pretty terrifying. I think that this movie may have been where they got the idea for the game Doom. Because this movie was very freaky. I think the music and …

Meet the Spartans (2008)
This movie is a spoof of the Frank Miller’s telling of the tale of the Spartans, the movie known as 300. Basically everything from start to finish about this movie is similar to 300 with the exception of that it’s a pun of the movie. In addition, almost everything …
Delightfully Dangerous movie
Delightfully Dangerous from 1945 starred a teenaged Jane Powell as Sherry Williams. This is actually the first time I’ve seen her as a teenager and a brunette to boot. I enjoyed her performance, though. She was gay and pretty and gullible, as many girls of the …
The Runaways Movie
I watched The Runaways last night not knowing what the story was about. My sister-in-law asked me to watch it and tell her the gist of the story so that she can be included at some of their little chit-chats at the office. She feels a little …
Movie Inkheart
I love fantasy movies and try to watch as many of them as I can, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. The thing I did not like was that they had guns in this movie. In fact they had a lot of guns. And it is …
