Movies Reviews
Nationsal Treasure film
I was recently coaxed into watching this film due to there being nothing else on at the cinema and my mates were bored. I went not expecting much, and left with a surprise- this movie was brilliant.
The film centers round the exploits of Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage)in attempt to …
Drop Dead Gorgeous movie
“Drop Dead Gorgeous” was what I thought was a very interesting and unique comedy film. It was unique in the sense that it was dark and it was filmed in a way and a style which I thought was different from any other comedy film I had ever seen …
Speedway movie
From 1968, Speedway combines the talents of Elvis Presley and Nancy Sinatra. Okay, it’s a so-so plot and we’ve seen it a thousand times, and the characters are stereotyped and not particularly that ‘wow-some’. I don’t think there’s any way you can say that either performer had …
Snowpiercer (science fiction movie)
On reading some of the reviews for the 2013 movie Snowpiercer, it was easy for me to assume that the movie would not have been any good since it was heavily criticised by a lot of people. However, after watching it for myself I strongly agree that while it did …
Deja Vu (movie)
When I read the description of Denzel Washington’s movie, Dejavu, I thought it sounded interesting. And, after watching it, I have to say it was even better than expected.
Washington plays an investigator for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms who is brought in to investigate the explosion of …
Funny Games movie
A highly provocative film by the german controversial filmmaker Michael Haneke. This director keeps shocking the audience with his unpredictable narratives, which aren’t necessarily showing much of violence, but in a way Haneke challenges the viewers and shows no compassion for his characters. In Funny Games we see two …
Holiday Inn movie
Holiday Inn is an adorable holiday movie, and the fun part is that it can be a part of almost any holiday of your choosing! The movie is about a small inn that is only open on holidays, and on those special days, the inn puts on a …
Movie Jeremiah Johnson
Jeremiah Johnson from 1972 is all Robert Redford. He’s a man who tires of the city and the worst parts of society. He wants peace, and he finds it in the mountains. He’s a greenhorn, though, and it’s not until he meets Bear Claw, played by …
“The score” movie
As always fantastic Robert De Niro and Edward Norton characteristic invite us to watch the gripping game between two experienced thieves. Which one gets the goods on forever providing a prosperous life?
Of course, I must admit that movies with similar plot is really a lot. Despite this, “game” remains …
Dumb and Dumber (1994)
You can watch this movie over and over again and still not know which of the two are the dumbest of the lot. On one hand you have Lloyd; he is a limo driver who gets himself involved into a situation that does not concern him when he intercepts …
Torn Apart
Torn Apart stars Tia Carrere and several nobodies.
I love Tia Carrere in action movies. I thought that this movie would only support my feelings, but I was wrong. Though she has not aged well, she does continue to be sexy wearing the black tank …
We Are Marshall
I held off watching the movie We Are Marshall until I could see it for free on a movie channel. The reason for this is I expected it to be yet another sports movie filled with plenty of clichés and not much else.
I was right on the first part. …
Traitor (2008)
Don Cheadle plays the character of a devout Muslim who must play both sides of the field; one is that of a Muslim supporter who sells arms and makes bombs for the suicide bombers and the other is that of an agent for the United States government who is …
Janie Jones movie
I rarely like the movie called the name of a person. The films of this type is usually a boring drama. Similarly when I watched the film Janie Jones. I watched with low expectations. However, apparently this movie proves otherwise. This drama gives something fresh, with a simple acoustic …
Short Circuit movie
Well, that was an old movie I haven’t seen in a while; Short Circuit. You know what, when this movie first came out, I thought it was pretty good. Now I have to think it is more annoying than anything.
Look, I like the concept of a robot getting struck …
Shaun of the Dead Movie(2004)
Horror with a pinch of comedy…you have to love it whether you want to or not. A genius twist to killing and rampaging carnage. Now here is a movie with vision and character. There is nothing more to add about this film…it’s pure genius. Just watch and anjoy.
Rating: 10 …
Sweet Home Alabama comedy
Sweet Home Alabama is a nice romantic comedy. The movie has Reese Witherspoon, Josh Lucas, and Patrick Dempsey playing the main roles. All three of them managed to give impressive performances and this makes this movie worth watching. Jake and Melanie are two childhood friends from Alabama and are …
Cinderella, Movie (2015)
Many versions of the classic tale of Cinderella have been made and all follow the same storyline with little variation. ‘Cinderella’ (2015), is no exception, however with compelling characters and stunning visuals, I find myself enchanted by the movie. Although I was watching the same story that I’ve seen many …
Clash of the Titans movie
For those of you that you were born too late (like me), Clash of the Titans is a film appeared in 1981, which used some sort of an animation for special effects. But in this review we won’t talk about that movie. We will be talking about the remake. …
Stay Alive, movie, dvd
What do you get when you cross video games and a faux legend of the blood countess, Elizabeth Bathory? You get an edge of your seat movie with a wonderfully brilliant and memorable cast as you follow their love, loss and fears through-out a video game that will leave …
The World is Not Enough Blu-ray
Pierce Brosnan’s third outing as James Bond is one of the weakest in the series, with another ‘out there’ villain, played by Robert Carlisle and a ridiculous plot that makes ‘The World is Not Enough’ simply unbearable to sit through. Let me be clear: I hate this movie. …
The Four: Final Battle (2013 Chinese-Hong Kong Wuxia Movie)
Chinese-Hong Kong Wuxia film directed by Gordon Chan and Janet Chun. It is the last of The Four trilogy.
I’ve finally finished my marathon of The Four trilogy and I feel—¦ nothing much. To be honest, I don’t really enjoy the trilogy as much as I expected.
There are a number of …
Horton Hears a Who
Horton (voiced by Jim Carrey) lives in the jungle of Nool. He enjoys teaching the other jungle animals about the other jungle life but is surprised, himself, when a tiny speck of dust floats by and he hears something on it. Envisioning a poor group of people clinging to …
Movie Enchanted
I usually like movies based on fairy tales and, overall, the film Enchanted wasn’t bad. But, I think the movie used too much of the same-old format to make it good.
Amy Adams was decent as a princess who is sent from a fairy-tale world to New York City. But, …
Shutter Movie
I have seen this movie last April,2008. I knew that it was a horror movie but I never thought that it would be such a shocker.
There was a newly wed couple traveling by car going to Japan, then the guy who was driving hit a woman …
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (movie)
I’m one of those people who is a big fan of independent films, but for some reason when I saw a trailer of this movie a few months ago I wasn’t very interested in it. The fact that Emma Watson and Logan Leerman played two of the main characters …
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 …
The Devil Wears Prada (Movie)
Boy does this title make sense! There is this new girl working at this fashion magazine place that is really popular. And it is true, her boss is the devil! She expects her two assistants to do outrageous things for her like it was the simplest thing in the …
Winter Sonata movie
I can say that I really love this Winter Sonata, Korean Drama. The story itself was a romantic love story. But since it is a long drama story, you can not really guess easily what is the plot of the movie. You really need to follow each step or …
Auntie Mame movie
From 1958, Rosalind Russell stars as the eccentric Mame Dennis, better known as Auntie Mame. She’s a woman who follows her own drummer and doesn’t care what society things. With spunk and pizzazz, Russell makes us love Mame, and she takes us on a full journey with …
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
I assumed that Alice in Wonderland would be very interesting because Tim Burton was a part of it. I thought the visuals would be wonderful and the story a bit on the darker side. I never went to see the movie in the theaters, but already I was hearing …
Where The Wild Things Are movie
Like many others, I grew up loving the book “Where The Wild Things Are”, and though I’m not a child anymore, when I found out a movie was coming out I was genuinely intrigued. How do you turn a 10-15 page children’s picture book into a full-length movie? Well, …
Steel Magnolias (1989)
This movie centers around a sickly woman and the choices that she makes in her life that cause her to either live or die, plans are currently in place for her marriage and after that fact, she is set to have a baby, all this in light of the …
Moulin Rouge movie
In all honesty, I love this movie. Although I’m not a big fan of musicals, I found this movie to be very entertaining, funny, and romantic. The production was really something that amazed me and these are probably the reasons why it is one of my top ten favorite …
Vantage Point
This movie is about an assassination attempt to the president of the United States. It is not a typical movie I can say. I think the plot was easy but I did enjoy watching it. It is a typical conspiracy theory movie but with a twist. I really thought …
You’ve Got Mail movie
You’ve Got Mail (1998) Starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks is a classic meg flick. She’s at her usual, quirky best; off beat and fun.
Hanks also known for his romantic comedies, mostly co-starring along side Meg; this movie won’t disappoint you.
You’ve Got Mail, a blast from the past remake …
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third installment in the Harry Potter franchise. It continues following young Harry Potter and all of his adventures. The actors are now very grown up now and are actually better at acting now. This movie has by …
Wise girls movie 2001
I remember the movie Wise girls staring Mariah Carey, Mira Sorvino and Melora Walters being filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia some years back. Recently I got to rent the DVD, and realized what all the commotion had been about.
Halifax, doubles as Rhode Island, and does a good double! I …
Life of Pi (movie)
A couple years ago, I had to read the book “Life of Pi” for a literature class. I had heard one or two other students say that it was a very good book, but whenever I had gotten to read it for myself, I wasn’t anywhere near as impressed …
War of the Buttons (movie)
One of my absolute favourite movies to watch as a child was “War of the Buttons”. Funny enough though, I never actually knew the name of the movie since it was something that I had only seen playing on local television. This was alldespite the fact that I searched …
Flags of Our Fathers
“Flags of Our Fathers” was a good film.
Story: Very interesting. My wife constantly said, “I had no idea” at the variously elements that you learn throughout the story.
Acting: Ryan Phillipe will have a great career if he keeps picking movies like this. I am concerned for the Native …
Movie Faces of Death
Supposedly banned in 46 countries, “Faces of Death” is an extremely controversial film that depicts just what it claims: death, in every imaginable circumstance. Using both real videos and skillful reenactments, “Faces of Death” takes the viewer where few dare to venture: into morgues, autopsy rooms, accident scenes, slaughterhouses, …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
I finally got a chance to watch the second part of the Resident Evil series; Apocalypse. And, overall, I think I liked the movie; though I did feel a few of the things were a bit unrealistic.
This movie takes place shortly after the first one and puts together a …
The Wall by Pink Floyd
When I signed up to Netflix we got the three movie at a time plan. When we looked through the options for movies when we discovered that they had The Wall by Pink Floyd which is my husband’s favorite of all time. So we got it for him to …
Cats movie
The classic musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, originally based on a novel by T.S. Eliot, here transferred to the cinema.
I think it was a very colorful thing to look at, and some of the songs are unforgettable, but overall I think this felt more like a filmed musical stage …
Movie Bad Girls
Bad Girls, directed by Jonathan Kaplan is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for western violence. The original release date was April 22, 1994 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Western and stars Madeleine Stow as Cody Zamora, Mary Stuart Masterson …
Zathura
Jon Favreau, the director of Elf, couldn’t have outdone himself; Elf was simply too adorable. That siad, Zathura, his most recent children’s story, was much better than I anticipated. The special effects were a little chessy, particularly the malfunctioning robot and the entrance of the stranded astronaut. The child …
Monster (2003)
A product of the system gets herself entangled too deep and now she has to pay the ultimate price. It all started when a prostitute, while delivering her services, is raped and attacked by one of her clients, this starts a chain reaction that lead her from turning from …
