High School Musical movie
This is one of the best newer movies to come out of Disney in the recent future.
Set around a basketball player and the class brain trying out for the school’s musical and landing the lead roles, the movie has a fun plot to follow and some great music.
I’ve seen …
Miss Congeniality Movie
I loved this movie. Sandra Bullock plays Gracie Hart, a dedicated FBI agent to whom her job is everything and her appearance is not that important. Supposedly, she is unattractive, and her male co-workers don’t even notice her as a female (I am saying “supposedly” because, to me, Sandra …

Far From Home The Adventures of Yellow Dog
Far From Home The Adventures of Yellow Dog is a great kid movie. It shows how a special friendship develop between a young boy and a stray dog. Angus and his father are delivering supplies to Winter Heaven when a terrible storm topples their boat. Henry is picked up …
A Christmas Story (movie)
What strikes me as the main appeal of a Christmas story isn’t that it is a Christmas movie. It’s a story of youth, family and friends, with extra helpings of nostalgia (try eating that, Randy!).
The 40’s is captured brilliantly-the products surround the parkers, Higbee’s department store, the time of …
Bridget Jones’s Diary movie
This is one of my favorite movies. The movie is about a less-than-beautiful, frumpy woman looking for love.
Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is a secretary for a publishing company who is in love with her boss (Hugh Grant) who shamelessly flirts with her (and her skirt!). After the pair have …
High School Musical 3: Epic Ending
Disney truly has outdone itself this time with “High School Musical 3.” It is a fitting finish to the entire franchise that spawned such fervor in the preteen/high-schooler-wannabe population, and I am very pleased with the ending. The theaters were packed with people of all ages to see the …
Movie Notting Hill
This is a story about a famous actress Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) and a travel bookshop owner William Thacker (Hugh Grant) who by chance met and fell in love. It seems impossible for them to be together because of their social status, but love found a way.
You would …
Sex and The City Box Set
I was always a fan of the show sex and the city. Recently they released a box set DVD that constains every single episode of the show. Not only do you get all of these great shows, you also get a little bit of a discount because you are …
The Last King of Scotland (movie)
The Last King of Scotland was possibly the first movie that I had seen the Scottish actor James McAvoy in where I began to take him seriously. I remember that when I first watched it, I didn’t have a clue what it was going to be about and so …
The Dilemma (Movie)
The Dilemma is newly out of cinemas (Depends where you live) here in South Africa. The trailer was very ammusing, and i thought the movie would be hilarious.
I rented the movie on Box Office (Exclusive to Dstv, a south african TV company) for a fairly cheap price. I eagerly …
Me, Myself & Irene (starring Jim Carrey and Renee Zellweger)
I watched Me, Myself & Irene 2 times actually and the first time I watched, I didn’t really have a clue as to what the story is all about because I wasn’t concentrating at all. During that time, the movie story was shown on my local TV and I …
300 - The Movie
When one watches the trailer of the movie 300, the next words that come out of their mouths are inexplicably “WoW” or “I gotta watch this.” We’ll I am writing this review to tell you that it is a VERY GOOD idea to follow your instincts because …
Seven Pounds movie
This movie is very touching, very moving. It is a story of a man, Tim Thomas (played by Will Smith), who changed the lives of seven unknown people. This was his way of repaying the death of seven people in a car crash, six strangers and his fiancee. The …

The Yes Men documentary
‘The Yes Men’ is a documentary about a group of activists whose main area of interest is so-called culture jamming. Generally speaking, the purpose of their activities is to create a special kind of spectacle, which would undermine the very basic assumptions concerning our culture, politics, economy etc. and …
Movie Cloverfield
I finally had a chance to watch Cloverfield on DVD. I have to admit, it was not exactly what I was expecting.
I was expecting a real story with enough footage that I could actually see what was happening, not another attempt at the Blairwitch Project. Just …
The Emperor’s Club movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Emperor’s Club, which is a movie that is about three years old or so. I am a huge fan of movies that center around professors in an academic setting. I have always had a passion for teaching, but do not think I …
What happens in Vegas (the movie)

The Hitcher movie
The Hitcher is about a young man who travels through the american desert and has the bad luck of picking up a psychopathic hitcher. It’s just not any psychopath, but probably the most frightening and calculating ever, brilliantly played by Rutger Hauer. Actually, Hauer’s performance is what is most …
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004 Film)
After watching this 2004 comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”, starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Christina Applegate and more dynamite caste members I will forever remember the name Ron Burgundy. There’s something about the sexist lines, the mix of actors, and the infatuation of nearly everyone on the …
Zombieland Movie
It’s a short and simple story chronicling the lives of four survivors in a zombie infested America. Quite a shallow plot, but extremely funny. Its comedic factor is refreshing because it isn’t lewd or too slapstick.
Columbus played by Jesse Eisenberg was funny when he was alone, giving the …
Serendipity movie
Destiny! A mere coincident, a perfect accidentally meeting, in an unexpected date, day and time including places.
“Serendipity” is a movie, which lovers and hopelessly romantics would like. A very good twist emphasized on coincident, love at first sight, true love. Two people met at the amidst of chaotic Christmas …
God is Great, and I’m Not
God is Great and I am Not is a French movie about love and being lost in different religions. It definitely relates to the “lost souls” nowadays. I guess many young people are living on earth and not sure what they want or what to believe in, …
Prime movie
The recent romantic comedy staring Uma Thurman entilted Prime didn’t seem to fit the usual mold. It was always my opinion that romantic comidies should make you feel good and escape from reality. Prime was a closer fit to the roller coaster that is love.
The movie had …
8 Mile (2002)

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
It is a known fact that sometimes a sequel falls short of the original movie and the fans are left disappointed. This is not the case with this movie.
The movie opened up with lots of action in the first 10 minutes and it was at first confusing why there …
Pixels (Science Fiction Comedy Movie)
When I first saw the trailer for the movie “Pixels” I didn’t have a lot of great expectations of it when taking into consideration the premise of the movie. However, I did assume that it was going to be one of those lighthearted movies that was both fun and funny. …
Christmas Vacation
Christmas Vacation is the only Christmas movie that I watch EVERY year and it never gets old. All of the characters are really great and genuinely funny. Chevy Chase certainly stills the show but kudos need to also go to cousin Eddie. The dynamic duo of …

Alex and Emma (2003 Film)
The 2003 film “Alex and Emma” starring Kate Hudson in the early stages of her career, and Luke Wilson, was a film that was really trying to be romantic and funny. I could see it in the jokes and scenes that were exaggerated. However, it really did not deliver. …
Veggie Tales: The Pirates who don’t do anything
I’ve sat down to watch Veggie Tale movies with my daughter before. But, I’ve only done it to be nice; I’ve rarely enjoyed the experience. However, the movie The Pirates who don’t do Anything, is definitely an exception. I actually liked the movie as much as she did.
Unlike other …

Godzilla 1954
Godzilla 1954 is so much better than the American release, Godzilla 1956. Godzilla 1954 was just recently released in America for the first time ever and it is an incredible film. Unlike the butchered American version which deleted scenes considered to horrific and removed other scenes in favor of …
Carriers I: Movie
I love horror movies like Resident Evil where zombies are created because of viral infection, so I decided to buy Carriers which looks promising in it cover picture full of blood and flu mask, I expect something some gore and serious viral infestation where people will mutate and grow …
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
There is only one word to describe this movie and that is weird. I have never seen a movie as strange as this one before. I had thought it was supposed to be a comedy but I found nothing funny in it at all. I fail to see the …
Good Luck Chuck
It starts off really good and funny and then the middle is still funny but not as funny as in the middle. It kept me interested the whole movie. The funny parts in the movie were really hilarious and made me laugh. I even re winded a few parts …
Coyboy Bebop episode 1
Cowboy Bebop is a legend that spawns new legends from within itself. The first episode is no exception but is a delight to read. For those not familiar with the series, Cowboy Bebop puts the title of the music style right on the cover, in this case, Asteroid Blues. …
Night Watch
Night Watch is a movie I saw going on recently when I was at someone’s house watching television. At first I had mistaken it for a movie from the 80s I had seen going on several times, but after a while I realised that it was actually a movie …

Film Vanity Fair
One of my favourite types of films are historical films, or films which are set in some time before the twentieth century as I have always liked the subject history. The film does not even have to be one hundred percent historically accurate but I always tend to enjoy …
The Patriot Movie
The filmmaker Roland Emmerich have for quite a long time been renowned for his peculiar way of waving with the american flag in his films, and The Patriot is, not very unexpected, the same thing.
Mel Gibson is an american family father in america in the late 18th century. A …
Strangler’s Wood movie
I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Strangler’s Wood, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This film was made in 1999, was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based on the novels written by author Caroline Graham.
Strangler’s Wood is a movie that revolves around the mysterious …

Movie Reno 911
Reno 911 is an extraordinary ensemble of unknowns that team up to make the slapstick satire on the Reno Police Force a real winner. The use of lit up scenes in an amateurish presentation makes this show look like a home video, but do not be fooled. …
Beck Mongolian Chop Squad
“Beck Mongolian Chop Squad” is a very unique and intruiging anime series. It portrays the story of a group of Japanese teenagers pursuing their dreams of becoming rock band musicians, as well as the hard ships and drama of adolesence. While the story is extremely unique, and breaks the …
Charlton Heston
I always enjoyed watching Charlton Heston perform in movies. Several of his movies are among those I enjoy with regularity. Lucy Gallant and The Ten Commandments are probably my two most favorite of Heston’s films.
Heston was an outspoken man. He was especially vocal about his belief …
