Masters of Horror: The Black Cat
The Black Cat is partially fact based, but mainly based on fiction. Though it was directed by Stuart Gordon, I ended up feeling really disappointed by this one, but I’m not exactly sure why. The color palate of the film is very dark, but since it is set in …

Final Destination 3-D movie
Final Destination 3 in super 3-D is exactly what you would expect from such a teen horror outing. The plot is incomprehensible, the acting wooden, and the entire premise implausible, yet it still delivers the goods as far as presenting an entertaining horror excursion. The audience that I viewed …
50 First Dates
This is a fun yet predictable movie starring Adma Sandler (enough said on what kind of movie to expect) basically the story goes like this. Adam Sandler plays the part of an average dude who lives in Hawaii and falls for a blonde (Drew Barrymore) which he met in …

Uncommon Valor movie
In the early 80’s, I remember watching this movie about Marines going on some kind of special meeting. This was one of those movies that used to air a lot on late night television, long before cable came about for most of us. I loved the movie …
WANTED movie
Wanted is an action film that is based on a comic book miniseries by Mark Millar. The film is directed by Timur Bekmambetov and features two of my favorite stars Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie.
Spoiler ahead, beware.
It is an action packed film about a guy(Wesley Allan Gibson) who …
Whiplash, movie (2014)
Whiplash is a movie whose title gives you goosebumps! A sparkling story of inspiration and energy about what we can do for our life’s purpose. A powerful and impressive film about musicians with great music.
Inspiration is essential in everyone’s life. Think back to those moments when you didn’t notice hunger …
The Mechanic (movie)
One of my favourite action films for this year so far was the movie “The Mechanic”. Surprisingly though it starred the action movie icon Jason Statham, and of course there was one of my favourite actors who I’ve been watching since he was on Disney, Ben Foster. I’m …

Breathless: A Film by Jean Luc Godard (1960)
I first had a snippet view of Breathless when it was aired in TV monde. I was rather clueless of what the film was about but admittedly I was drawn to the whimsical quality of the video. Even in stark black and white, Jean Seberg was a …
Gone, Baby Gone (R, 2007) movie
Ben Affleck is certainly not one of my favorite actors. But he just might have me on being one of the better producer/ directors to get behind the camera. He cast his little brother Casey in this gritty role of a private detective who has been asked …
The Iron Giant movie
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 …
Wonderland movie
Michael Winterbottom is a british filmmaker who has a very extensive production on his resume the last 10 years. The critics have been very positive about all of these films that include 24 hour party people and Welcome to Sarajevo. He often uses a documentary-like style and focuses a …
Paul Blart: Mall Cop
The first thing I thought when I saw this movie advertising was that the movie looked like it was going to be unusual, but not necessarily funny. When I actually got to watch it though, I realised how right I was, as I never laughed one time throughout the …
The Hunger Games, 2012 PG-13 movie
My boyfriend and I decided to watch The Hunger Games on Netflix this weekend because we both read and loved the book and hadn’t seen the movie yet.
First off, I thought the character choices were great. Jennifer Lawrence …
Prom Night (2008), slasher film
There is nothing as scary as J.S. Cardone’s remake of the classic 1980 horror film, Prom Night. A modern scary film that advertised itself as one of the best remakes of our time is about as dull as your real prom. Can the unrated blu-ray version of this film …
Left Behind movie
Left Behind is a great set/series of movies. The Left Behind movies detail what it will be like once Jesus Christ returns to collect His chosen people. This movie details what happens to those left behind. I have read all of the Left Behind books but I have to …
Dishonored Lady movie
I’m really not sure if I’ve ever seen Hedy Lamarr in a movie. I’ve grown up knowing about her and having heard some tales of the legendary Hollywood actress, but I honestly can’t recall seeing her in the movies. Thus, I was intrigued to see what she …
A Dog’s Breakfast DVD
The A Dog’s Breakfast DVD is pretty terrific. If you’re a fan of David Hewlett or this movie specifically, I’ll start at the top by saying you’ll want to own this DVD.
A Dog’s Breakfast is a quirky independent film, but it’s an entertaining one as well. It …
Kill Theory movie
A friend of mine had the DVD for Kill Theory, and I decided to kill time while I was at their house and watch it, even though even the title seemed very corny to me, and I’m usually very wary of a lot of horror movies that seem to …
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (2015 Comedy Drama Movie)
Despite a few bad reviews, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” is one of the best coming of age films I’ve watched in a very long time. I had an inkling that it would end up being a tearjerker from the title, but to my surprise it was in …
As Good As It Gets movie
I am not much of a drama type person, but, this movie is one of the very few drama films that holds a special place in my heart. Jack Nicholson’s characters are always lovable whether good or bad, and in the film it was kinda both at the same …
Open Range (2003)
Once again, Kevin Costner has delivered unto us, the viewing public, another almost three hour feature length film based in the days of the old west. I guess it is safe to say that he loves this time period and he enjoys getting all submerged in a world where …
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
One of my favorite Christmas movies is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. It is on TV every year, and I remember watching it even as a kid. Now I have the unedited DVD, which I enjoyed watching this year. This movie is definitely a classic Christmas movie. …
Save the Last Dance for me movie
The 2004 Korean Drama “Save the Last Dance for me”, starring Yoo Jin and Ji Sung, is one of my favorite dramas. This was the one which made me start my hallyu craze.
The plot of the drama is not the typical amnesia story. Kang Hyun Woo(Ji Sung) has already …
Guru Dutt
Film maker Guru Dutt :- Guru Dutt is one of the greatest film maker India has ever produced . His film are highly artistic and technically excellent. Most of the film he made were ahead of its time and hence failed at box office. But never the less …

Death Race 2 movie
As any fan of Jason Statham I was reluctant to part 2 of the movie Death Race. I really do not understand why they felt the need to make another film on this theme. Well I have to say that I really liked Death Race 2 and I will …
Sex and the City The Movie
Sex in the City, The Movie was fabulous. I missed the HBO series because I don’t get HBO. Over two weeks, I rented all five years from Blockbuster.com and couldn’t watch them fast enough. Is it over the top sometimes? Yes. Is there any reality? …
Juwanna Mann (2002)
Basketball phenom Jamal Jefferies played by Miguel A. Nunez Jr. has come across some problems in his professional career. Aparently, he thinks too much of himself and that he is the best thing to happen to basketball since its inception.
Frustrated with his showboat attitude, the basketball league decides …
Feature Film “The Collector”
This movie had made me be more careful about the movies I check out with netflix. I did not know too much about this film before I watched it. I had only seen the trailer and it did not look too bad. To make sure I …
Inglourious Basterds: Movie
Inglourious Basterds is without a doubt my favourite movie of 2009.
It’s fascinating, thrilling, unique and even has moments of comedy in it all at the same time.
The plot is an interesting one; I like how they took a different approach to things rather than the typical World War 2 …
Meet The Parents (movie)
Meet The Parents is a family favorite. Ben Stiller is his usual funny self in this film. He plays Greg Focker, and you know that with a name like that, there are some troubles bound to happen. Greg is in love with Pam and he wants to propose but …
From Dusk Till Dawn
I finally got a chance to sit down and watch From Dusk Till Dawn last night. And, after years of expecting it to be a good movie, I have to say I was pretty disappointed by it.
The idea of two outlaw brothers taking a family of three (who were …
Anger Management (movie)
Anger Management is a movie with Adam Sander and Jack Nicholson as Dave and Dr. Rydell, respectively. You might wonder how these two actors play off each other, and I felt they did very well in Anger Management. I like Adam Sandler but really adore Jack Nicholson. Adam Sandler …
Rango Movie
I looked forward to going to see Rango for probably three reasons. Number one of course was getting to hang out with my nephew and secondly I was looking forward to the movie because it looked good in the trailers. The third reason? I was looking …
A Bug’s Life
When it comes to Pixar, this film is one of my least favorites. It’s a cute movie with a good heart and message, but it just doesn’t make me interested in watching it more than once or twice a year. Not even my son has showed interest and he …
Serving Sara (movie)
“Serving Sara” is the movie where Liz Hurley and Matthew Perry interpret crazy roles. It is a true pity that this movie failed to impress the critics and went straight to video! I must also add that this movie is also the worst movie for Perry who had successful …
I, Robot movie
A futuristic look at what life would be like with artificial intelligence. Through the eyes of Detective Spooner who can’t seem to like these robots, and why? Solely because his life was saved by one of them and a young life was sadly lost…BIG DEAL!! C’mon, he dislikes robots …
Land of the Lost
I’m not a huge Will Ferrell fan so I kind of figured I wouldn’t like his movie Land of the Lost.
Well, I watched it this past weekend and it turns out I was right.
This movie just wasn’t that good. Ferrell is supposed to be some sort of genius scientist …
The Big Short (2015 Film)
As the days become smaller until the Oscars ceremony this coming February 28, I have become so anxious to watch every movie that is nominated.
The Big Short is currently one of the frontrunners of the race, and it is very hard to miss a frontrunner, otherwise you would blame yourself …
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
I have always been a huge fan of vampire movies, but I have to say that Robert Rodriguez’s “From Dusk Till Dawn” is the most bizarre vampire movie I have ever seen. There is a lot of great talent in this movie - including George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliette …
Steel Magnolias movie
Steel Magnolias is a wonderful little movie about women and their relationships with each other. Steel Magnolias showcases the talents of Shirley MacLaine (Ouiser), Sally Field (M’Lynn), Dolly Parton (Truvy), Julia Roberts (Shelby), Olympia Dukakis (Clairee) and Daryl Hannah (Annelle). With a cast like that, how can you go …
Friends with Benefits 2011 Movie
Just saw the movie Friends with Benefits. This movie stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The movie is about, well, having a friend and having intimate relationships without any commitments whatsoever.
This is not a perverted movie, but I guess in reality this does happen. Mila Kunis (Jamie) works as …
