Over the weekend we watched the Hallmark special, “Loving Leah”. It was an entertaining movie, and quite an education on Orthodox Jews and their culture and faith. The movie was a about an Orthodox Rabi who dies, and leaves behind a young widow. According to tradition, his brother is …
Premonition
Premonition is a movie I couldn’t wait for it to come out on DVD. I love Sandra Bullock and figured that this movie would be a great one to watch. I was wrong. Very wrong. This is a movie that is almost painful to watch. It is not written …
Movie Zoolander
Since we have access to free movie channels for a couple months, I’ve been taking advantage of it and watching films I haven’t seen in a while; including the movie Zoolander.
This is easily one of Ben Stiller’s best movies. I love how he plays a male super model who …
Blood Diamond (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to see this one because I don’t tend to watch “Oscar” films until they have been released for a little while. In any event, this was a good film, but not as good as I thought it would be. Of course there …
Clash of the Titans Movie
My husband has been waiting for the movie Clash of the Titans to be released. I bought tickets online and we watched it one Saturday afternoon. He told me that it was a remake, but I have never watched the previous one, so really did not know what to expect.
I …
The Departed: Movie
The Departed is one of my favourite films, it’s absolutely brilliant. Although I am not generally a fan of the genre, the all-star cast made this a must see for me and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
The plot was something I hadn’t seen executed so well in a long time. …
End of Watch (crime drama movie)
“End of Watch” is definitely one of the best crime dramas in recent times. Here is a spellbinding, action, cop thriller, full of good performances and rendering a strong sense of comradeship. It is also about the realistic, ugly world of crime and drug trafficking. As is the case of …
Aliens (1986)
Ripley returns to fight off an army of aliens, but this time she’s backed up by a whole host of gun toting hombres.
The tagline of this film pretty much sums the plot up; “this time its war”, and for the most part, that’s what this film is; a war …

Movie P.S. I Love You (2007)
P.S. I Love You (2007) is pure bliss. I love watching this DVD each time pretty much. I love looking at the way Hillary Swank acts and she always has this rapport with the camera.
I think the camera really loves her, truly. Holly Kennedy is …

The Karate Kid (2010 Movie)
The new remake of the classic movie The Karate Kid is not a disappointment. I watched the original before going to the theatre, and I still found it to be a great retelling.
There are many classic movies that cannot be remade- if Star Wars, for example, were remade, there …
The Dead Girl movie
Saddened by the premature death of actress Brittany Murphy, I put a few of her better known films on my Netflix list. The best of these was one I had not seen before, and was surprised by the quality of it. The dead girl starts with a woman finding …
Paul Blart - Mall Cop

Lage Raho Munnabhai Movie
Who is in it : Sanjay Dutt, Vidya balan, Boman Irani, Arshad Warsi

A Night To Remember movie
A Night To Remember focuses on the night the Titanic went down. I have seen both versions, and I prefer the old one, and am reviewing that movie here. Even though it is black and white, I think that A Night To Remember, made in 1957, is the best …
Iron Man 2 Movie
I think this movie fell into the sophomore trap—”it wasn’t as good as its predecessor. There is a story though, which is good. Actually, there are many stories going on but they are not too heavy to get the viewer confused. Not much thinking required actually, which after all …

Tangled 3D Movie
I’m a big fan of Disney animated movies, even the ones that are about the so-called Disney Princesses. So when I saw the trailed for Tangled, Disney’s 50th animated film, then you can just imagine how excited I was. After watching the movie in 3D recently, all I can …
An American Crime (R, 2007) movie

Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs
Valerie on the Stairs isn’t a very good movie on its own, and when you compare it to the other films in the Masters of Horror series, it looks even worse. That’s fairly sad considering the amount of talent in the movie. The movie centers on a main character …

Wes Craven movie Red Eye
Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …

Dead and Breakfast
I was looking for something to watch before bed last night. I wanted something along the horror movie line but also didn’t want something too scary because I didn’t want my wife having nightmares (really). After some thought, I ended up choosing the movie Dead and Breakfast.
The thing I …
Halloween II, 2009 Horror film
It bothers me how bad Halloween II is. Rob Zombie took a good thing he had going with his first movie and just decided to messed it all up. At times the movie felt like an action flick with horror elements. Calling this a straight-up horror movie is a …
Death Proof
Death Proof is the first “episode” of the recent grindhouse. Now personally i didn’t like this movie at all, it was very long, it took forever to get to the action, there are litterarily like 50 minutes of talking which lead to no real action. The movie itself is …

A Scanner Darkly [movie]
I just went to see the film “A Scanner Darkly” and I thought it was brilliant. The story is a cautionary tale about drug addiction. As such, it deals with a lot of material not appropriate for children, but could also be considered an important film for youth and …
In her Shoes
“In her Shoes” is a film based on family misunderstandings and loyalty. What I particularly liked about this movie is the actress, Shirley MacLaine role as the grandmother, Ella Hirsch. It is no wonder that she has been nominated for the golden globe for her supporting role in this …
