S.W.A.T
It is really hard not to like a movie with Samuel L. Jackson in it. At least for me it is. And I love almost everything he does. I’m not a huge Colin Farrell fan after movies like Phone Booth and that weird Jesse James western thing he did, …
The Happening movie
This movie is film making at its worst. The plot was weak and at many times didn’t make much sense. We learn the “twist” in the first twenty minutes of the movie! There is no drama build up to the twist like a good suspense movie, …
Movie The good night
I must admit that I was confused about the introduction of the film “The Good Night”. To be honest, I thought I had put the wrong DVD in my DVD player and had to check it out. I confirm that “The Good Night” directed by Jack Parlow, brother of …
The Strangers (2008)

Charlie’s Angels
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie Charlie’s Angels. The last version I watched was the sequel, which I hated, so it was refreshing to see the original again.

You have an all …

John Tucker Must Die
I was a bit bored last night and found myself watching the movie John Tucker Must Die.

Frozen Fever (2015 Animated Short Film)
After over a year, the long awaited sequel to the smash hit Frozen has finally arrived and I have to say that it is a major disappointment.

The Ides of March Movie
After watching the Ides of March I have found it to be entertaining, gripping, smart movie. The cast of the movies is the top of the line, you couldn’t wish for better actors to work on it. The strongest feature of the movie is in the unique characters in …

I will never get bored watching this classic movie cum thriller romance called Vertigo. There is something hauntingly chilling but at the same time giving a nice feeling of romance after my each time watching this movie. Alfred Hitchcock was a real genius and it’s kind of sad …
Movie Review: David Copperfield, 1999
I bought this movie on DVD from Amazon.com. It is great for family watching since the story will interest children as well as adults, and there is no nudity or profanity. It will make a good introduction to the works of Charles Dickens.

Mamma Mia
I’m a child of the 70’s. Yes, that means I was a *child* in the 70’s, so I never really was into Abba much. I just remember bopping to ‘Dancing Queen’ at the school disco (wearing my Mum’s incredibly psychodelic maxi dress if I remember correctly) so I was …
Howl’s moving Castle
Hayao Miyazaki’s follow up to the much acclaimed ‘Spirited Away’ is another masterpiece of animation.
