My daughter went to Movie Gallery this past weekend and picked out a couple movies from the family section. Since she likes Nickelodeon cartoons, she ended up picking out Nicktoons Halloween to watch.
I’m not sure what my daughter’s obsession with Halloween is but I will admit the DVD does …

I’m not a huge Jack Black fan. But, I have to admit his new (animated) movie, Kung fu Panda turned out to be pretty good.
Black does the voice of Po, a worker in a noodle restaurant who aspires to be a Kung fu master and, through a series of …

Several years ago, before Christian Bale took over the title role in a re-invention of the franchise, Michael Keaton wore a cape and became Batman. And, even today, this movie (unlike the sequels after it) remains one of my favorite super hero films.
Keaton does a great job playing Batman …

For the amount of recognizeable talent in this movie, I made the mistake of thinking that it had to be good and I neglected to check out reviews of it before I spent the $10.50 on a movie ticket to go see it.
The plotline was horrible. It was …

I did not like this movie. This is the first 3D movie I have seen in years and I regret going to it. This movie is horrible compared to all the others. I had expected more.
The move started out ok. Just like all the others, there’s someone that ends …

The Iron Giant tells the tale of a boy who befriends a giant robot. The robot is actually a war machine but it does not remember its programming (it got a dent on the head..lol). This movie shows how vindictive some people can be when they can’t have things …

I think Directors should definitely make more movies with plots that go around in the movie of Shallow Hal. This is a movie about looking at someone’s personal and inner beauty rather than someone that looks good just on the outer layer or physical skin beauty.
Hal is …

There are only a few movies in this world that can out-do or come better than the original, and I’ll tell you that Final Destination 2 is not one of them. The plot is not very different from before, neither are the gruesome killings. While it is interesting to …

There are many people out there who’ve been let down by the slew of unimaginably terrible horror films that claim to be scary. Finally I’ve found a film that’s worth a watch. Packed with a thrilling unease, an emotional interaction between mother and son and a story that’s coherent enough …

One of the most thrilling movies that I watched in the past couple of weeks was White House Down. At first, I ignored it mostly because I had read a lot of bad reviews from both movie critics and regular people. What’s worse is that it had a fairly …

Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army, is a great summertime “popcorn” movie bursting at the seams with nonstop action and bizare, creative characters.
Ron Perlman was better in this sequel than he was in the original movie. Perlman brings a real level of humanity …

A lot went into the making of this film and a lot came out of it. If possible, this trilogy should be watched as if it were one complete film. The closest I came was watching each film nightly, over three nights. By doing so, I gained a perspective …

Anger Management. I knew of the movie, had no interest in seeing it. Jack Nicholson stooping down so low as to star in a movie with Adam “Billy Madison Boy” Sandler. Not for me.
So, now long after I think this movie is ancient history, I turn …

Little Miss Sunshine is a road movie with a difference. A dysfunctional family from suburbia on their way to child’s talent contest seemed about as attractive to me as watching paint dry ! But I must say I was pleasantly surprised. A nice mix of humour and pathos and …

In my opinion, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth is one of the best animated films of all time. David Bowie’s character of Jareth, the goblin king, is probably my most beloved of all movie characters. At the beginning of the movie, I found him frightening, but as it moved along, I …

Insidious: Chapter 3 wasn’t on my list of horror movies to watch because I didn’t get the impression that it would be very good especially after watching the trailer. As usual, someone I knew recommended it to me anyway and I decided to try it. It turns out that I …

The 2008 film “The Dark Knight”, starring a terrific Christian Bale as Batman, and the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, was even better than the first movie, “Batman Begins”. When in comparison, I feel that “The Dark Knight” has so much more power behind it’s actors, even more …

The 2001 movie “Bubble Boy” might not have gotten a very good rating in a number of places, but it’s one of those movies that I’ve found I can watch multiple times and never get bored of. It might be silly all around, but I still think that it’s funny …

Prior to bagging the best picture trophy, this was not one of my favorites. I was rooting for The Blind Side or Precious for the Best Picture in this year’s Academy Awards.
