Traffickers, Movie
Korean thrillers rarely pull their punches, which can often make them deeply affecting - especially when they centre around some really dark subjects. Unlike popular Chinese and Japanese cinema exports there is typically much more favour for realism in Korean films, that only makes them more shocking.
Traffickers is concerned …

Cheaper by the dozen 1 Movie

Miracle on 34th Street movie
The classic and wonderful Miracle on 34th Street is a delight for all time. I don’t think any holiday movie about Santa Claus will ever be able to surpass it. It’s family entertainment at its best, with quality performances across the board. Little Natalie Wood is …

Neve Been Kissed
I like Drew Barrymore, she has such a vitality that it just bursts off the screen. I saw a movie on TV the other night that she starred in. It was called Never Been Kissed.
This was a sweet movie about a 25 year old journalist who decided …
Saving Private Ryan movie
Bloody, gruesome, vicious and emotional are the words to describe this movie. A great film directed by Stephen Spielberg. The battle on the beach brought tears to my eyes when you saw how the men were dying, being dismembered and the scene when one soldier turned back to pick …

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (UR, 2007) movie
I waited until this movie came out on DVD to rent the Director’s Cut. I am so glad that I did. I knew that this movie would be funny simply because Judd Apatow (”The 40 Year-Old Virgin”) was at the helm. Additionally, there is no …
8 MM (1999)
I did not enjoy all the scenes I saw in this movie but for me this movie is a good one because it teaches the viewers that there are things that are totally disagreeable in the hiding. It also gives us the idea that things are not …
Happy Face Murders
Just by looking on the title of the film, one can be able to tell that it is not something to be taken seriouly like a normal thriller or suspense movie would. However, when I first saw the movie was when I was over my relative’s house one Saurday …
The Prince of Tides film
From 1991, The Prince of Tides stars Barbra Streisand and Nick Nolte. Sometimes I find it hard to believe those two made an on-screen couple, but they definitely did. Also in the film, which Streisand directed, are Blythe Danner, Melinda Dillon, Kate Nelligan, George Carlin, and, making …
Stranger than Fiction
When we rented the movie Stranger than Fiction, we expected to get a great comedy. After all, you can’t go wrong with Will Ferrell. Unfortunately, in this case, we did.

Assault on Precinct 13, movie (1976)

A Bug’s Life

Police Woman - The Complete First Season
This movie DVD, Police Woman - The Complete First Season is really lame. There is truly nothing at all that I could comment on which would give it even the tiniest bit of positiveness. It is inspired from the TV series which have up to 23 episodes …

Park (R, 2006) movie

Norbit
When I first watched the movie Norbit, in the theater, I wasn’t really impressed by it. However, after watching it again last night, I have to admit I found it a lot better on DVD.
My biggest objection to Norbit the first time I watched it is I felt it …
Notorious movie
Notorious, this was a great title for the movie biography of the rapper Notorious B.I.G. I saw the movie about a week ago, and am still amazed at what his life was like, true or not. Notorious means widely and unfavorably known, which is the epitome of Christopher Wallace’s …
