I have to admit that I am a Tim Burton fan. I loved nightmare before Christmas, but when this movie came out in 2005 I wasn’t really all that interested in buying it because the title was just a little too obvious. The title completely gave away the whole …

I have an affinity for scary movies and am especially fond of the Halloween story. Having grown up watching this series, I was intrigued to learn that Rod Zombie had taken over where John Carpenter and Moustafa Akkad had left off. Being a huge fan of “The …

I liked Disturbia because I’m very into thriller movies and love movies that would scare me to bits. It’s about a boy who hasn’t really gotten over his father’s death who gets into trouble most of the time. He is placed under house arrest and is stuck at home; …

One of my top ten movies that I watched this year so far has been the one named “Captain Phillips”. The thing about this movie though was that when I first saw the trailer advertising in late 2013 it didn’t really hold my interest enough for me to think …

If you are not afraid of dogs by now you will be after watching the movie Cujo. Stephen King is the master of horror and he really does make you fear dogs and never look at them in the same way ever again. The movie is about a a killer …

Ocean’s Thirteen with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Ellen Barkin, and Al Pacino.
This is an elaborate movie based on the revenge concept. What made it so special is the huge star studded cast of superstar actors. …

Most barbarian movies are pretty sweet. No matter how much you tease them or find out every flaw, these movies grab your attention and they never let go until the last person in the credits gets their due. Barbarian Queen does just that and it does something else that …

I don’t watch movies often but when I do, I prefer it to be a good experience. In all my years of stay here in Botswana I have been a few times to the movie house. I must say I am impressed with the system here. It’s probably better …

This movie, starring Johnny Depp, was actually very entertaining. Johnny Depp is always good, and in this movie, he didn’t disappoint. It keeps audiences into the story from beginning to end. The characters are also interesting. You feel a connection with the characters and care what happens to them. …

While I admire any attempt at diversifying movies so that non white actors have the rare opportunity of playing some of the main roles, that doesn’t mean I thought the 2014 movie “No Good Deed” was any good. As a matter of fact, it had the terrible luck of being …

As far as advertisements go, I am perhaps the most skeptical. You would not believe my surprise at Blockbusters attempt at online rentals.
I actually love it.
I was already a longtime member of the video store chain. I tried the online rentals because it was a good way …

Only You starring Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr., is a funny, charming and shamelessly romantic movie. It does not pretend to be anything other than it is, it is a movie for people who love romantic comedies, and who love the concept of romance, and believe that it …

I have always been a fan of television show “The Twilight Zone.” The series, which began decades ago was always successful in creeping me out. I was thrilled when producers decided to bring the series back, and cast popular actors in the episodes. The …

I saw Spiderman 3 at a matinee the weekend after it opened. There had already been a ton of reviews stating just how horrible it was and that Sam Raimi is just a huge dissapointment with this one.
NEVER listen to critics. Always make your own decision when …

The movie “Happy Accidents” should be a mix of old time romance and fantasy so that to attract both women and men to the cinema. The end result of this movie is that to achieve a lousy movie that doesn’t seem to go any where. What is incredible about …

The way this film is marketed is truly off-putting, who else wants to watch another alien-invasion movie? I find it truly distracting that “language” is one of the main themes here but the distributor actually did not know how to communicate/market this film to the general audience. Granted, science fiction …

As the name might indicated, Hi De Ho is a Cab Calloway feature. The 1937 film has the famous bandleader belting out his special Hi De Ho song with a zing.
However, there is a disturbing nuance in the opening. We have Cab singing to a woman named …

I don’t mind watching movies that I like a number of times. This one has been played in our house and in some relative’ houses but I just kept hopping in. Not only because this is Sean Connery’s movie but also it’s Nicolas Cage’s and Ed Harris’ …

The age of Westerns has certainly passed. I cannot remember the last time a movie qualifying for that category has been widely, successfully released. And yet, apparently there is still an audience for them as can be seen with the release of True Grit, a Coen Brothers remake of …

I am reviewing the movie, Dances with Wolves, starring Kevin Costner. Kevin Costner plays John Dunbar, a decorated soldier who wants to see the American Frontier. When Dunbar is assigned to an abondoned fort, he soon realizes he is not alone. He comes to realize that he shares …

This controversial horror film by Tobe Hooper was made in a time where extremely violent films where becoming more and more accepted among the audience, but as a matter of fact, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre could be the most misunderstood film ever. The title hints to a gruesome …

I wouldn’t have heard of a movie like this normally, but I just finished watching the movie Buried with Ryan Reynolds where I was so impressed with the actor that I have decided to watch a few more of his movie. So I looked up in IMDB for some …

The Tiny Times is a romance drama movie series based on novels by Guo Jing Ming. It’s made up of 4 movies (Tiny Time 1-4). The movies are all directed by the author himself.

The series is glamorous and beautiful. And I mean the costumes, locations and casts, not the …

Trois 2: Pandora’s Box (2002) was tragic; not in the sense that it was a tragedy, but that it was a TERRIBLE movie. It was one of the movies that is almost painful to watch. I found myself just shaking my head throughout the movie; that …

Barbra Streisand directed and starred in The Mirror Has Two Faces, a 1996 movie that co-starred Jeff Bridges and Lauren Bacall. The great Bacall was stellar as Streisand’s mother. What a duo those two made. It was like watching American royalty with two great and dynamic …

I honestly wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Pride of Jesse Hallam, a 1981 movie that I recently had the chance to see. I just didn’t think it would appeal to me. Plus, the star was Johnny Cash (playing the title role), and usually I don’t tend to …

I really liked the movie True Lies, I thought this film was very and it had a good storyline. I really liked the whole secret agent thing, and agents are always pretty exciting. I think the whole storyline about how the agent’s wife was cheating on him is not that …

This dance movie is the ultimate perfect movie for every street dancer out there. I have watched a lot of street dance movies with crews and all and even ones that mixed ballet and street dance together, but in my opinion this is still the best and ultimate street …

Perry Mason: The Case of the Fatal Framing is one of the Perry Mason movies that I remember for a very unusual moment, and that’s when Perry Mason examines the murdered victim during the trial. It’s absolutely a brilliant scene that is unique and intriguing to watch.
It’s all …

I thought that the movie “The Golden Compass” had a wealth of potential. When I saw it advertising to be released in theatres, I thought it would have been something like “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”, however, when I watched it I realized …

The Borrowers was a 1973 presentation from the Hallmark Hall of Fame, but the first time I saw it was just this week. Though the movie has a wonderful cast, it just wasn’t really my style for some reason.
I realize that the special effects, so to speak, were …

This is one of the natural horror (creature) movies in the “Maneater Series”. This particular one is about a man-eating tiger. I love these sorts of movies and try to watch every one that I can find. This is one of the good ones, too. It has a solid …
