Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a very cool and creative movie. I also think it’s pretty scary to see how drugs can affect you. I mean I’ve never done hard drugs before and by the looks of what happened in this movie, I never will do …

A modern remake of a classic horror where it tells the story of a boy who bears the mark of the devil and who has come to claim the world as his own once he comes of age. For ages the coming was foretold and no one could stop …
The American movie
George Clooney’s The American movie had some good and bad points to it in my opinion. I will admit off the top to not being a big thriller fan, but Clooney is such a good actor that sometimes I will tune into things that I would not normally. …
Limitless Movie (2011)
I am going to tell you right from the start that I have watched Limitless movie (starring Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper) about a dozen times now. So it is pretty obvious I loved it very much.
There is something about the movie that makes you want to either …
Twilight Drive-In Theatre Langley, BC
One of the biggest signs of spring in the Vancouver area of BC is the opening of one of the few remaining drive-in theatres in the province, the Twilight Drive-In in Langley. I have gone to movies there when I was a teen-ager, many years ago now, but as …

The Three Gables
I am reviewing The Three Gables, a Sherlock Holmes episode on the boxed set, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, produced by Granada in the 1990’s. This episode finds Holmes and Watson against ruffians who are hired by a cold feeling woman to steal this poor old woman’s grandson’s …
War of the Worlds
War of the Worlds is such a good movie that I’ve watched before. This movie stars Tom Cruise and the little talented girl at that time, Dakota Fanning. It’s a movie basically about aliens invading, or what they call it, The Tripod. These tripods come in numbers, …
Adaptation-movie
The much acclaimed american screenwriter Charlie Kaufman here works together with the former music video director Spike Jonze for the second time. It’s a very complicated story in the centre of which Kaufman himself appears (and his evil twin brother!), played brilliantly by Nicholas Cage. He tries to write …
Employee Of The Month
I watched this movie, Employee Of The Month the other night on DVD and it was super funny and top hilarious, I give it a 10, no doubt. I know that the jokes are pretty slapstick and that the babe factor is none other than Jessica Simpson, nevertheless I …

Mirrors movie
Personally, I like this movie. Although it is another English remake of a Japanese movie, which I have not seen, the movie was still pretty impressive. The story line was good, although some aspects of the story needed to be explained a little better, or just explained at all. …
Michael Jackson - Off the Wall
In the year 1979 one of the future leading pop icons Michael Jackson released his fifth solo studio album. Unlike his past efforts with his brothers Michael wanted to gain more artistic freedom - a thing he wasn’t allowed in the past. Off the Wall album is produced by …
Sleepy Hollow
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Sleepy Hollow. And, I have to say I enjoyed it as much as I did first time I saw it.
Of all the movies that are based on classic tales, this spin on Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow …
Quantum of Solace
Daniel Craig’s second outing as James Bond 007 was a sad disappointment, especially following the excellent ‘Casino Royale’, a film that managed to successfully reboot the franchise and make Agent 007 popular again with fans that had long grown tired of the outlandish and unrealistic direction the franchise was …
Frontier(s) Movie
Frontier(s) is a movie that was part of the After Dark Horror Fest for the 2007 season. The movie itself was supposed to be released in the US, but the ratings board in our country decided that the film was so gory that it needed an NC-17 rating. That …
Epic Theatres of St. Augustine

Road House movie
Some movies achieve cult status, and that is exactly what has happened to Road House, the movie in which Patrick Swayze stars as the philosophical bar bouncer, Dalton. To be precise, Dalton is the cooler, the man in charge of the staff that keeps his bars safe for …
Netflix
I’ve been a member of Netflix for a little over a year. I am on the 3-at-a-time package for about $18 a month, and it seems to be the right one for me. I love getting movies in the mail and being able to watch them instantly. If I …
Sweeney Todd
I just put Sweeney Todd into my DVD player again. I absolutely love this movie; there is something about Johnny Depp singing operatically while slitting someone’s throat that is just captivating. I think Tim Burton did brilliantly with this movie. Across the front of the DVD …
Jumper movie
“Jumper” was one of my favorite movies released in 2008. In fact, I did not know about the movie until I saw it advertising a little before it went into theatres. When I saw it advertising I wanted to see it a lot, but I knew I would neither …

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith movie
I’m certainly one of those morons who grew up wathing the first Star Wars movies on vhs and adored them. Recently I watched the latest (and last) movie on dvd (yes, I saw it in the theatre too) and I feel ready to state my opinion on it now. …

Perfect Nanny movie
I watched Perfect Nanny the other day on Lifetime movie network. They had a event going on called “the perfect sunday”. The main actress in this movie did a wonderful job, I think she played her part very well. She did an amazing job playing the “crazy nanny”. This …
Bridget Jones’ Diary movie
One of the movies I hesitated to watch for a very long time was a movie called “Bridget Jones’ Diary”. This was because I usually hate romance films and I heard that the movie was a romance movie. It also starred the actress Renee Zellweger as the lead and …

I enjoyed watching Billy Elliot. This was a couple of years back but I watched it again recently, since my cousin has a copy of it. I came across it at her house the other day and thought of watching it again. A very moving, sweeping and …
The Happening
I just watched the happening last night from a download. The movie started in Central Park New York. From the very beginning of the movie, it freaked me out. I could not look when the girl suddenly took the chopsticks out of her hair then stick it in to …
Black Christmas, movie (1974)
Slasher movies based on holidays are so commonplace that they have become cliched. Thankskilling, April Fool’s Day, Halloween, Leprechaun, Uncle Sam, and My Bloody Valentine are some of the big examples. All we need are movies for Yom Kippur and Colombus Day. Heck, some can make …
Black Cat Episode 4
Black Cat Episode 4 involves Sven and Rinslet Walker trying to rescue Eve from Torneo’s mansion while Black Cat tries to finish the job and kill her.
I liked this episode a lot; it was really clever and showed off more of Sven’s talents as a master escape artist. …
Never Street (Loren D. Estleman’s Amos Walker)
“Never Street” is my favorite Amos Walker novel yet. I love film noir and every hard-boiled detective owes his roots to film noir. There are no more hard-boiled detectives than Loren D. Estlman’s Amos Walker. With “Never Street” Loren D. Estleman combines the two. “Never Street” is a hard-boiled …
Movie : Spiderman 3
Spiderman 3 was much better than I expected. Besides the great sound effects and graphics, the story-line was much better than the expected “hero saves the day”. It shows Peter Parker in a different light, how the “black suit” changes him, and the audience is introduced to a naughty …
Biutiful Movie
The director of this movie is a very famous Mexican director who has made many previous movies with the same basic structure in all of his films. He will take a bunch of disconnected or interconnected stories and then weave them together to make a movie. In …
Cider House Rules (1999)
“The Cider House Rules” is a 1999 Miramax movie, a production company that I find traditionally does excellent movies. At 116 minutes the English language movie is just about the perfect length. I never felt like it was padded to occupy more screen time nor did I feel cheated …
Rang De Basanti
Rang De Basanti is a revolutionary film made recently, and was India�s Official Entry to the Oscars. Its one of the few movies, which was both artistic and also did well commercially. In fact it was one of the biggest commercial hits of the year. The story was …
Movie: Autopsy
When I started watching the movie Autopsy last night, I figured it would be one of those films with a lot of blood and gore but would still be somewhat interesting. Instead, there was blood and there was gore but the movie was one of the dullest I have …
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 …

Beauty and the Beast
We watched this classic last week and were in awe of the production, acting and story line. Jean Cocteau directed Beauty and the Beast in 1947, so you know the movie is worth viewing. Filmed in black and white, spoken in French (but has English subtitles) with the best …

Superman: The Animated Series Volume One
Superman The Animated Series Volume One is not my favorite of the three seasons, but it is still an enjoyable and exciting season that I am more than happy to own. The three part season opener is particularly entertaining to watch as opens not on Earth or in Metropolis, …
The Craving movie
Before I watched this movie, I heard of it and read a few reviews on it. Most of them were good. People said the plot was promising, and th e movie was scary. However, when I actually watched it for myself, I thought that “The Craving” was pretty disappointing …
The Fourth Kind
I almost did not watch this movie. The beginning was so slow, I all most fell asleep. About the time I was going to take it out and try a different one, it got interesting. I am not a real believer of alien from other worlds visiting us or …
