Movies Reviews
Zathura
Jon Favreau, the director of Elf, couldn’t have outdone himself; Elf was simply too adorable. That siad, Zathura, his most recent children’s story, was much better than I anticipated. The special effects were a little chessy, particularly the malfunctioning robot and the entrance of the stranded astronaut. The child …
No Country For Old Men movie
This 2007 movie stars Tommy Lee Jones and is about a drug deal gone wrong, it sucks you in, there is a psychopath who kills people left and right looking for his drug money, eventually leading him to a cowboy who found the money, after about an hour I …
Why Did I Get Married? (PG-13, 2007)
Tyler Perry is truly one of the underdog success stories in American filmmaking. His stage plays have brought him tons of success. But I am still waiting for him to make a really riveting movie. “Why Did I Get Married?” is full of stars (Janet Jackson, …
Moviez
I think that Shakespeare was the one to say that never a borrower or lender be. This is probably wise advice I have found out myself when I have lent out a few items. They have mainly been movies and the most sorely lost, recently, was Farscape Vol. 1 …
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
With Temple of Doom, my rant was that it did not have enough of Raiders’ successful elements in it to make me like it the first time out. With Last Crusade, the opposite was true. It was too much like Raiders. Blatantly obvious was returning characters Brody and Sallah, …
The Puppet Masters
The Puppet Masters is one of those movies that you have to laugh at. And laugh at quite a bit because not only is the plot totally far fetched, but the acting and script and production are so completely awful, the movie is little more than a joke! The …

Couples Retreat (2009) movie
Couples Retreat is a new comedy that was recently released. I saw it in theaters and saw it again recently on Dvd so I though I would write up a review on it.
It is the story of four couples who all have there own issues. Two are thinking …

Jet Li`s New Movie — Unleashed
Jet Li
UNLEASHED
(Danny The Dog)
This film shows that Jet Li can actually act, he has been in a few movies in the past which have just been all action, but `Unleashed` has a very heartfelt storyline with great actors supporting Jet Li such as Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins …
Disney’s Cinderella
If my daughter were writing this review of Disney’s Cinderella, it would be scathing. For some reason, Snow White is the reigning queen of the Disney Princesses, and she isn’t even technically a princess until the end. I smile whenever she goes into one of her rants when Cinderella …
11:14 DVD
Hilary Swank, Rachael Leigh Cook, Ben Foster, and Patrick Swayze are a few stars in this very unusual film called 11:14 which is now available on DVD. This very unusual movie was written and directed by newcomer Greg Marcks. He actually used his inheritance from his grandmother …
Quickflix Online Movie Rental Service
At first I must admit that I thought the whole concept of renting movies online and then waiting for the movie to come in the mail, watching it then sending it back idea sounded a little bit stupid and very gimmicky. However, fairly recently I have had a problem …
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
The Incredible Hulk, directed by Louis Leterrier is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sequences of intense action violence, some frightening sci-fi images, and brief suggestive content. The original release date was June 13, 2008 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre …
‘Keg on My Coffin’, a song by The Push Stars
The year 2004 was a great year for awesome music. It was also the same year that I become aware of a relatively unknown, independent recording group known as The Push Stars. Their song ‘Keg on the Coffin’ was receiving extensive radio play on Alabama airwaves by indie recording …
I, Robot Movie
The movie is based on several different works of Isaac Asimov. Thanks to Dr. Lanning the man who had established three major laws of robotics, robots have become a common household item working as servants/helpers. When Dr. Lanning is found dead, everyone thinks it’s a suicide - except for …
War of the Worlds: Movie
War of the Worlds is one of my favourite alien invasion films; I thought it was really well made.
Besides having all the ingredients to make a got alien picture, such as the budget, the actors and the CGI; they also managed to capture what I find to be rather …
The Man With Two Brains movie
This film features Steve Martin, in a time where he was probably the funniest man in the whole world, as the brain surgeon who falls in love with a brain without a body (!) during a trip to Austria.
A quite bizarre that is totally dependent on the performance by …
The Cult of the Suicide Bomber by Robert Baer
Robert Baer is a former CIA agent who worked in the Middle East. In 2005 he produced the DVD “The Cult of the Suicide Bomber.” The DVD is distributed by the Disinformation Company Ltd. from New York.
Baer presents a history of the suicide bomber cult as he calls …
You, Me, and Dupree
I just recently watched You, Me, and Dupree with Owen Wilson, Matt Dillon, and Katie Holmes. I must say I was very impressed. I am a huge fan of Owen Wilson to begin with. I must say though this was one of his finest performances. …
Sweeney Todd
Johnny Depp is one of my favourite actors. Tim Burton is one of my favourite directors. And when both worked together in Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street, I am more than glad to watch it. And I was not wrong! It is a great movie. One of …
102 Dalmatians - Live Action Film 2000
Cruella strikes again! Ably played by Glenn Close, Cruella de Vil is released from rehab where she was sent at the end of the original 101 Dalmatians movie which preceded this one. She is supposedly completely cured of her fur-fettish - especially the one involving spots! To show how …
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 …
Let’s Talk About Sex DVD Movie
The movie, Let’s Talk About Sex, rated R, is actually a movie that is full of bollocks. The title is very suggestive, but there’s no really formal education on that, for inspiring young women wanting to learn at least something about this over-rated topic.
The story is about an …
Bleak House (2005)
At first, I was not sure whether I liked the new Bleak House (released in 2005) better than the old version I have in my collection of classics (the 1985 Masterpiece Theatre production). I was so used to the old version that it took me some time to warm …
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 …
The World is Not Enough movie
The World is Not Enough is a film that in my opinion should never have been made. It’s another 007 film starring Pierce Brosnan for the third time, and it was very successful at the box office. The whole concept of James Bond has been held alive all these …
National Lampoon’s Animal House movie
A film by John Landis about the rivalry between two college houses. An intense, crazy comedy that doesn’t leave a moment for the audience to take a breath. I have a taste for films that uses the theme of college and high school, but this one didn’t really engage …
300: Rise of an Empire (fantasy action movie)
I delayed watching the movie “300: Rise of an Empire” for two main reasons. The first was that I’d become very wary of sequels, since they generally don’t live up to the expectations of the viewer. The second reason was because I heard it wasn’t very good at all. After …
Movie : My Cousin Vinny
Synopsis: Joe Pesci plays a Brooklyn personal injury attorney who travels to Alabama to defend his cousin and his cousin’s friend from a bogus murder charge. He not only has to overcome a massive pile of evidence against the two defendants, he must also overcome the fact he doesn’t …
I Am Number Four - Teen Psi-fi Movie
I took my 11 year old son to see “I Am Number Four” on the weekend, not expecting too much; and was surprised by this movie. It is your typical teen movie featuring a boy-likes-girl scenario, social issues and some type of major obstacle to over come. …
When Harry met Sally movie
This cult-rated romantic comedy was the very first of a long series of similar films, all starring Meg Ryan as practically the same character. When Harry met Sally was directed by the talented Rob Reiner (even though he wasted his talent at several occasions in my opinion), and also …
Kill Bill Volume 1
I always like Uma thurman movie, like this one, Kill Bill volume 1. She’s always good in acting especially in action movie. Kill Bill volume 1 is based from a book from an unofficial casebook by D.K Holm as author.
This movie is full of violence from the beginning till …

The Mind’s Eye
The Mind’s Eye is a very stunning and magical movie. The movie is very unique because it is all art with music. There are not human actors or scripts. You just see segments of digital art move to the sound of beautiful music. I really love this video and it …
Good Luck Chuck
From the previews and the description on the box, I thought the movie Good Luck Chuck would be an excellent love story. What my wife and I sadly discovered was the movie wasn’t much better than a soft-core porn flick.
The idea of a guy who has a curse that …
Cold Mountain
At first, I had a hard time getting myself to watch the movie “Cold Mountain” especially since I thought it would have been a Western, and I have a strong dislike for Westerns. However, recently when I was at a friend’s house, I found the DVD and decided to …
The Phantom of the Opera (2004 version)
There are very few people who don’t know about Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical “The Phantom of the Opera”. For all those who didn’t have any chance to watch it on stage, now they have the privilege to watch it at home on DVD. The value added of watching this …
Everest movie
It was a really fascinating and breathtaking experience watching the movie Everest on Imax. I watched it a few days back with a couple of old school friends, and two of us got teary eyed on some scenes of the movie. This is a very moving, inspiring …
Welcome to Collinwood movie

This is actually a pretty entertaining and …
Hi Diddle Diddle movie
Some of these earlier movie musicals are so hard to describe simply because the plot can get a little offbeat and quirky. Of course, the same thing happens from time to time today, too, but some early films just didn’t have that much to them. Let’s take …
No Entry A Hindi movie
Casting: Anil kapoor,Lara Datta,Fardeen Khan,Salman Khan,Bipashabasu,Isha Deol.
No Entry is a very good comedy film. The central idea of this movie is to show the value of firm affection and bond of love and confidence between a husband and wife. ‘ what happens if a good and obedient husband suddenly …
The Invasion Movie
I think The Invasion is one of those movies that probably could have been pretty good, but ended up getting the raw end of the stick. The movie was supposed to come out a few years ago, but kept getting pushed back and pushed back. I remember reading a …
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
What you need to do while watching this movie is thank you lucky stars that you don’t know anyone like these people for if you do, you would be just as messed up in the head as they are. Then again, if you are just like these people in …
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew are back in another action-packed adventure that will have you absolutely begging for more come credit-roll. In response to the phenomenally good reception of the first Pirates film, director Gore Verbinski took it upon himself to create and release a sequel three years …
Monsters University (animated movie)
Even though I tend to like animated movies I had put off watching “Monsters University” for a very long time. This was because I thought that I might find it to be too immature for my tastes since I had read quite a few bad reviews on it. Nevertheless, I …
The Happening movie
I had heard nothing but bad things about this movie. I jokingly suggested to my roommate that we rent it, he took me seriously and added it to our netflix queue. I was truly expecting “Batman and Robin” or “Catwoman” levels of bad. Truthfully, it’s not …
