Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I am of the opinion that this movie is one of the greatest drug stories ever told. Johnny Depp and Benicio DelToro star in Terry Gilliam’s adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s cult novel. The movie opens with the two lead characters Raoul Duke (Depp) and his attorney (Del Toro), …
Ocean’s Thirteen
Ocean’s Thirteen is by far my favorite of the Ocean’s movies. It is the third movie in the series and personally I think it is the best. It has an all-star cast and a great plot. I liked this one best because finally the stars had …
Gaslight
I had never heard of the film Gaslight until last night when I saw it on television and found myself staying up late to see how it ended.
The 1944 version of this movie, which I was surprised to learn was a remake, was fantastic. Ingrid Bergman does a wonderful …

If you are anything like me, then you love going to the movie theatre to see a good action, drama, family or comedy, and with the cost of a movie now days I am patient enough to wait until it hits the dollar theatre Cinemark Movies 10 —“Fayetteville in my …
Good Neighbors Movie (2010)
I was looking forward to seeing the movie Good Neighbors for quite some time. I have read mixed reviews about it and wanted to check it out for myself. My overall impression at the end of the movie was that overall it is a forgettable movie. There have been …
Death in Disguise movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Death in Disguise, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Troy. This movie was made in 1999, was produced by Brian-True May and Betty Wilingale, and is based off of the novels written by Caroline …
District 9 movie
Sci-fi movies for me are so formulaic. I watch one sci-fi movie, I can say that I have watched almost 90% of all the sci-fi flicks that were released in the past years because of it. Sci-fi movies with aliens are more predictable and repetitive. Aliens terrorize the human …
Hoot (movie)
Hoot is a movie that animal lovers will love because it has some beautiful little owls in it that burrow under ground. This movie is about how three kids save these owls by stopping a pancake house from burying the nest and killing these beautiful animals who can not …
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, movie
Just by looking at the title, you can tell that this isn’t going to be a cinematic game changer. Dumb as it is, I can actually see the train of thought that led to this. What would happen to two kids who were terrorized by a witch …
Bringing Down The House (2003)
Queen Latifah and funny man Steve Martin come together to try and bring the house down for their viewing audience and guess what? They did a wonderful job, I have no complaints about this movie for two very important reasons 1. it stars very believable characters and 2. it …
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 …
It rains on our love movie
Ingmar Bergman’s only second film shows his talent in its cradle. Bergman himself thinks the film is a disaster, but I found it rather interesting. The story is about a man and his wife that are followed by unhappiness. They start a new life together in a new house, …

Twilight: New Moon
I was disappointed after watching Twilight: New Moon, while before I had great hopes for it after having enjoyed the first Twilight. I usually like Kristen Stewart’s performance; she is especially talented in fulfilling darker and uniquely fascinating roles. In this movie however, I felt that her …
Private Lives of Pippa Lee film
I was really pleasantly surprised by this film. I watched it on my Virgin on Demand service - I was basically browsing for an easy, fun, romantic comedy and thought this fit the bill from the description.
It’s not just a ‘chick flick’ or your predictable Romcom though.
First off, our …
Stir of Echos
Another one of my all time favorite actors is Kevin Bacon. There was a game out a few years ago called the Kevin Bacon game, in that game you would name movies or movie actors who were associated with or played in the same movies as Kevin Bacon. …

I always have …
Shrek the Third
I watched Shrek and Shrek 2 in DVDs, but for Shrek 3, I deservingly thinks that it’s worthwhile to watch in a movie theatre. So, the ones who watched were me, my boyfriend and my 2 brothers. My sister wasn’t interested, so she did not come.
The movie …
Oliver Twist (2005 movie)
Oliver Twist is 2005 Crime and drama movie directed by Roman Polanski, which is based on a novel. I had read the novel a few years ago, and I truly loved it, and wanted to see the story in action, and played by real characters. The story of the …
Top Gun
For me “Top Gun” represents one of the very first movies that I watched at the cinema. For the main actor in this movie Tom Cruise, it represented his ticket to win over directors and a lot of women’s hearts! In other words, the beginning of a success story!
Although …
P2: Killer in a Parking Garage?
This has some spoilers, but believe me it is not that great of a movie, the spoilers will not be what ruins the movie, trust me.
My friend brought this movie out as something her mom had gotten from somebody at work, and said it was apparently supposed to …
Son of Rambow
This was a fun, entertaining comedy to watch and one I really enjoyed. I had never heard of it before when I found it on my library’s movie shelf, but it looked interesting so I checked it out. I’m glad I did, as it really is a gem.
Basically …
Disturbia (movie)
I was not expecting much going into this movie. The only thing that drew me to it was the lead actor Shia LaBeouf, who I am a big fan of. I was thoroughly surprised at how entertaining and well made the movie was. The story is …
Twilight
OK, either I’m starting to get really old or the movie Twilight wasn’t anything that lived up to all the hype and the obsession the fans are giving it. I watched it last night and thought it was the longest, most boring vampire film I’ve ever seen. And, believe …
Final Destination IV movie
I almost didn’t finish this movie when I watched it with my friends in September of 2009. It was just released a few days ago, and so the cinema at Strawberry Hills mall here in Surrey, Canada was filled to the rafters.
It was released in 3-D so …
A walk to Remember
I’d watched this movie when I was in college together with my college friends.
A very touching and heartwarming story.And I could watch it over and over again. I have to admit I shed tears watching this sad,sweet story of Landon and Jamie..My best movie of all time..
This is …
Eclipse
I have read all of the Twilight series books by Stephenie Meyer. I have also seen all three of the movies that have been made from the books. Eclipse by far is my favorite of the three. The acting in it was much better than in the first two …

In this movie, viewers get …
Amelie (romantic comedy movie)
After watching it, I’ve come to the conclusion that “Amelie” is one of those movies that is so unique and enjoyable that I could find myself watching it multiple times. This is even though I’m not a huge fan of most romantic comedies.
The movie revolves around the very peculiar …
Stargate SG-1 Cold Lazarus
The “Cold Lazarus” episode of Stargate SG-1 is one of my favorites because it gives us more insight into the character of the lead character, “Colonel Jack O’Neill” as played by Richard Dean Anderson. Here, we meet the colonel’s estranged wife, “Sara” who is elegantly acted by Harley …
High Voltage movie
From 1929, a real oldie, High Voltage features Carole Lombard, whose career was cut much to short by a tragic plane crash many years after this early movie of hers was released. Basically, a bus carrying a couple of woman to prison gets stranded out in a snowstorm …
Perfect Nanny movie
I watched Perfect Nanny the other day on Lifetime movie network. They had a event going on called “the perfect sunday”. The main actress in this movie did a wonderful job, I think she played her part very well. She did an amazing job playing the “crazy nanny”. This …

All is normal and well in a small village known as the Shire where the Hobbits dwell. Once a year, they are visited by a Gandalf the grey, a wizard with mischievous but innocent intent that the children love. It comes to the knowledge of the wizard that Bilbo …
The Last Airbender (2010) movie
I went and saw this with my girlfriend and her two sisters since they were all die hard viewers of the show as kids and have been excited about this movie since they laid eyes on the previews. So I had to say at first I was caught up …
Black Dahlia
I found this movie to be drawn out, lacking in valuable information known in the real Black Dahlia murder, and more of a love story than a mystery.
Being a huge fan of true crime books and movies I anticipated the release of The Black Dahlia on dvd. I had …
Vampire Knight: Guilty 1 anime
Vampire Knight: Guilty is the second season of the anime based on the manga, Vampire Knight, by Matsuri Hino which is my favorite vampire anime, mainly because it is a shoujo, but still serious at the same time. The image on this DVD cover is of Ichiru and …
Harold & Kumar go to White Castle
OK, I’ll admit it. When Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle came out, I figured it was going to be a very stupid movie and didn’t take the time to watch it.
But, last night, on a hunch, I gave it a try. And, I have to say I …
Hell Comes to Frogtown
So I just saw this little gem for the first time. For those not in the know, Hell Comes to Frogtown is a 1987 post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick starring none other than Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Piper plays the titular character, Sam Hell. He’s one of the last potent men …
Come Back, Little Sheba movie
Come Back, Little Sheba is a classic black and white film made in 1952. When I first heard about this movie, I really thought Come Back, Little Sheba was about little more than a lost dog and his heartbroken owner. Come Back, Little Sheba is beautifully done, even though …
I Can Do Bad All By Myself (PG13, 2009)
I have watched a few Tyler Perry films and decided to give “I Can Do Bad All By Myself” a chance. I really like Taraji Henson as an actress, and have always been a fan of hunky Adam Rodriguez. The story is centered on a group of …
Movie The Godfather
The Godfather (part 1) is one of a few movies I watched several times, besides Kramer vs Kramer, Accidental Hero, Heat, Ronin, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver, The Untouchable, Rain Man, The Deer Hunter and…uhm, Entrapment (What? It is an entertaining movie, isn’t it?).
Based on the novel of notable author …
Cars movie
I enjoy Pixar movies very much, and Cars is no exception. This computer-generated animated movie features the voices of Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt, Michael Keaton and others. Like many Pixar movies, the story takes place in an alternate world, a world where cars, not humans, rule …
Motion Picture “Trick or Treat”
The movie Trick or Treat is different than most horror movies I have seen. Usually there is one killer or perhaps a pair of killers going around killing people in a movie. This movie has several plots going at once and you are waiting to see how they …

Whats Your Number (2011 Romance Comedy Movie)
I initially ignored the movie “What’s Your Number” because I heard a few bad reviews about it, and I realised that it didn’t get a very good rating. This was even though I’ve always thought that the comedy actress Anna Faris was very funny.
I decided to watch it recently …
