V for Vendetta movie
When I first heard about “V for Vendetta” I was sceptical of whether or not the Wachowski brothers would be able to pull out a quality movie after their not so astounding Matrix Revolutions. As the movie release date approached I watched more and more movie trailers, as …
Planet Earth documentary
I watched the documentary special series called “Planet Earth”.
The shows were about the different geographical bodies of our planet and the animals which live in them.
I really liked the series. I thought each episode had something interesting to offer. Some of the still shots and photography was stunning.
There …
Natural Born Killers (1994 black comedy thriller movie)
Natural Born Killers was one of those movies that I kept hearing about, but I never got to see. Therefore, recently I made it my duty to get it so I could finally know what it was that I had missed. While I have to admit that the movie did …
Children Of Men (Film)
Children Of Men is a film which takes place in London and is set in the future in quite an apocalyptic situation. I don’t remember the exact year of this movie but I do recall that in the film it has been 18 years since the last baby has …

I did not like this movie at all . It was really werid and the made a teenage girl the bad person . It was about a tenager girl about age 15 talking to a gron man online on a computer.They met and she puts himm through …
The Last King of Scotland
I just watched the movie “The Last King of Scotland” and was delighted. I saw the previews in the theatre about a year ago and looked forward to seeing the movie. However when it came to the local cinema I wasn’t able to fit it into my schedule and …
Ice Princess, movie (2005)
Disney films can be characterized by the epithet “fairy tale.” And The Ice Princess is no exception: a simple, somewhat naive plot. A schoolgirl heroine, a kind of “Cinderella” who is bound to become a star at the end. There are very few movies about sports, per se. In …
Ultraviolet (2006)
In the year 2076, some humans have been tuned into vampires, scientist have been working on a cure for the disease and they have put it in the form of a young boy. The vampires get information that lead them to the whereabouts of the cure/virus and they send …
City Beneath the Sea movie
One of my very favorite made-for-TV movies is called City Beneath the Sea from 1971. It’s not a great movie in the scheme of Emmy winners, but it is a star-studded affair that has drama, romance, and mystery. I love it and find it to be a …
Addam’s Family Values. A Movie
A few months ago I was flipping through the channels in a hotel room and came upon the Addam’s Family Movie. I honestly could not remember seeing it however it appeared that I had. I called my mother and she said that I had seen it a few …
Dracula Untold, movie (2014)
Dracula Untold is a dark fantasy action film that deals with the origins of Count Dracula, the famous character from Brom Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula. This movie is laced with action and bits of horror throughout. It’s not a perfect movie but as far as action movies go, it pays …
Jurassic Park
I saw this movie as a kid and since then have seen it many times with equal interest every time. It is one of the most brilliantly animated movies I have ever seen. The 3D graphics make each and every Dinosaur spring to life on the screen, and …
Hook-movie
Hook is a 1991 fantasy film starring Robin Williams. It based on the children’s story Peter Pan..It takes some element from teh original story and creates an entirely different story.It is about a man named Peter Panning who is a ruthless lawyer.He has two kids, a boy and a …
Michael Jackson’s This Is It 2009 Movie
If you love Michael Jackson’s music, singing and dancing, you will love —˜This Is It’ as he is clearly on top form, despite the fact that this was only filmed last year - in 2009! Due to the fact that he only sang a few lines of —˜We …
Jurassic Park 3
Joe Johnston takes over directorial duties for the third entry in the Jurassic Park franchise and unfortunately, fails to captain a worthy successor to the fantastic first movie and enjoyable second.
The story is certainly lacking in any real scope. While the first two movies had an epic quality about …
Idiots & Angels, movie (2008)
Bill Plympton is an animator who is notorious for an off-kilter sense of humor. Ever since his first noted animated short, Your Face, to his feature film debut, The Tune, he’s been responsible for some of the most madcap imagery in hand drawn animation. As he made …
“Ted” movie
I’m not a huge fan of Seth MacFarlane. I used to like “Family Guy”, but eventually grew tired of it to the point where even the early seasons aren’t as enjoyable as I remember them. “The Cleveland Show” was just awful from the start and, while I’ve …
Holy Motors (2012 film - avant garde, drama film)
Holy Motors is one of the best films I’ve seen in my life. But be warned, you may not understand it, or even like it, at all. Holy Motors is almost not even a film in the traditional sense of the word. Rather, it is a piece of extremely well …
We’re No Angels (movie)
For a comedy film, the movie We�re No Angels really doesn�t produce many laughs.
Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn put in a valiant effort, but the weak script and the even weaker concept really doesn�t work. You can only make so many jokes at the expense of the church …
Pulse (2006)
Pulse, directed by Jim Sonzero is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for intense sequences of sci-fi terror, disturbing images, language, sensuality and thematic material. The original release date was August 11, 2006 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Drama/Fantasy/Horror/Mystery/Science Fiction/Thriller …
Wall-E
I took my family to see Wall-E. We all loved it the robots are so likable and cute. My 5 year old daughter squeals every time she hears the name Wall-E. I had to laugh when I saw the predicted future and I really think it will be like …
Spiderman 1-3
After much consideration I decided to review Spiderman as a trilogy instead of as individual movies. The Spiderman trilogy is different from most serial movies in that as time goes on the movies get better and better. I wasn’t a fan of the first Spiderman and because of that …
The Croods (movie)
There was a point in my life where I stayed clear of a lot of 3D animated movies because of two reasons. The first was that I stupidly thought that traditional 2D animation seemed to be becoming obsolete, as well as I just plain didn’t like a lot of …
Goodrich Canton Cinemas
I have never gotten good customer service at this Canton movie theater. On my birthday, I was directed toward the wrong theater and I ended up missing the movie I wanted to see. A couple ahead of us in line ordered tickets to a movie called “The American”, which …
Rambo, First Blood Part 3 movie
I generally liked the Rambo films when they came out. The third installment, however, was one too many for a franchise that was otherwise really good.
In the third movie, Rambo is sent into Afghanistan to rescue his former commander from the Soviets. He ends up helping a terrorist group …
Grease
At the time of its release, many critics were apt to complain about the casting of Grease. They thought that the ages of the actors, playing much younger characters, was a hindrance and that the film would suffer. The huge box office that this fun and extremely lovable film …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, released in 2010, starts out a bit surprisingly in my mind by giving what is essentially a recap of the history of Merlin. I understand it because it is the exposition that really explains what the movie is going to be about, which is Balthazar …
Now You See Me (movie)
One of the movies that I was lucky enough to watch on DVD recently was the movie “Now You See Me”. The first time that I had actually heard about this movie was when someone encouraged me to watch its trailer around three or so weeks before the movie …
Sherry Baby
“Sherry Baby” is a movie with a great message to send back home about ex-women convicts. Although the interpretation of Maggie Gyllenhaal in the main role is excellent, this movie has a weak script and the story moves on a very slow pace.
This movie is about a woman Sherry …
Head over Heels comedy
When my wife rented Head Over Heels this weekend I thought, “Great, another chick flick.” But, I was pleasantly surprised to find it both funny and charming.
The movie centers around a museum worker who rents a room shared by a bunch of super models. When the museum worker falls …
The Simpsons Movie
When I saw this movie being released in 2007 I was interested in seeing it in the theatres since I used to watch the animated television series “The Simpsons” when I was younger. I also wanted to go and see it because it was being promoted a lot and …
Strigoi, movie (2009)
Its safe to say that vampires aren’t what they used to be. The dark forces of evil that they are in books, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula and films like The Lost Boys, have been brushed aside for more romanticized versions in True Blood and Twilight. Fortunately, there …
Movie Armageddon (1998)
I love science fiction and I found the movie, Armageddon to have all the elements you need in a great science fiction movie. There is no scarier scenario than one that threatens to end all life on our planet. This film has some of the greatest talent in show …
The Young Poisoner’s Handbook movie
A mentally unstable man named Graham get tired of the people around him and gets the crazy idea of poisoning them all. The film is said to be based on true events, and was quite controversial when it came out. It think it is thrilling mostly because the head …
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. …
Hacksaw Ridge (2016 Biographical War Drama Film)
I admit I did not have any desire to watch this film ever since it was announced Mel Gibson is seating at the director’s chair. Plus the idea of another war movie is exhausting to think about unless your name is Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk will be released this year and …
Remember the Titans (2000)
Remember the Titans, directed by Boaz Yakin is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for thematic elements and some language. The original release date for this movie was September 29, 2000 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Drama/Sport and stars Denzel …

Overheard (Mandarin Movie with English Subtitles)
This movie, Overheard is a Mandarin movie with English subtitles. It is basically a movie about cops and there are lots of issues here that are played at hand. Issues of honesty, integrity, being honest and also of greediness. But amongst all these attributes, there are also …
Man on the Moon
Man On The Moon with Jim Carrey, Danny DeVito, Courtney Love, and Paul Giamatti.
Though hard to tell by the title, this poorly presented movie was a biography of the comedian Andy Kaufman and his alter ego Tony Clifton. It is a shame that such a …
Bucket List
I work in a hospital so more or less I am inclined to the joys and sadness of the hospital life. When I bought a DVD for Bucket List I wasn’t able to watch it right there and then but my brother who was able to see it said …
Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya movie
The movie Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya directed by David Dhawan is fun filled comedy movie. I watched it at home on television on its World Premiere. It was great fun watching the film. The leading roles in the film are played by superstar Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen, Sohail Khan, …
Movie: Penelope
“Penelope” is a small-budget movie that was apparently released sometime in 2008, although I do not remember any advertising for the movie. Anyway, my wife and I rented it this past weekend. It was a surprisingly charming ‘modern day fairy tale’ staring Christina Ricci and James McAvoy. …
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) movie
Today (30/08/13) I had went to watch The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones with my best-friend at Hoyts Cinema, NZ. And boy was I glad I had paid $17 of my allowance to watch it! :D
The Movie in my opinion was a great watch. The characters they had to …
Horror Movies
What’s the deal with these so called Horror Movies that are being made these days. Do they know the meaning of Horror? Correct me if i’m wrong…but shouldn’t a horror movie scare you? The rating for a typical horror is usually PG-13. How the hell can this be horror, …
Harry Potter and the Sorceror
I’m home today because it’s Saturday and I can’t really afford to go out and do much more than sit around the house and watch movies all day.
One movie we ended up watching today was Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone. It’s not the first time I’ve seen this …
Motel Hell (1980) movie
Starring: Rory Calhoun, Paul Linke, Nancy Parsons, Nina Axelrod, and Wolfman Jack.
Directed by: Kevin Connor.
The villains who run ‘Motel Hell’ must be related to the family depicted in “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” which this film parodies quite often. In fact, “Motel Hell” parodies a whole list of modern …
Whiteout (2009) movie
Starring: Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Columbus Short, Tom Skerritt, and Alex O’Loughlin.
Directed by: Dominic Sena.
Oh goodness, what did they make now? Based on the 1998 comic book (of the same name) from Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber, “Whiteout” is an arctic-set murder thriller starring Kate Beckinsale as a heroine. Beckinsale …
