Confessions of a Call Girl (NR, 2007)
I am actually ashamed to admit that I watched this film in its entirety. I should have known that a film in which Bokeem Woodbine and Tamala Jones are cast in main roles as a powerful doctor/lawyer husband wife team, would be treacherous. Where do …
Monk Season 6
The sixth season of Monk was the last season to air directly on television and now the seventh season is about to start. I watched the boxed set all in a row because when the show aired, I only saw a few of the episodes, maybe 2 or 3. …
The Clinic 2010 movie
As far as a horror movie goes this is every women’s nightmare. I didn’t find this film either jumpy neither scary but i found it utterly disturbing. The thought that some of those things can happen in real life, that places like this existed was disturbing enough without having …
The Weather Man Movie
I bought this movie because Nicolas Cage is one of my favorite actors and because the plot summary at the back of the DVD interested me. However, I was off for a disappointment when I watched it because it was boring, confusing, contains too much profanity and sexual situations. …
‘Deadpool’ Movie
People had been clamoring for a “Deadpool” movie starring Ryan Reynolds for years. We came close with “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. The actor was cast to play the reputed “merc with a mouth”, but while Reynolds shined in the early scenes, the actual Deadpool was a stunning disappointment. Nevertheless, fans still …
Sheba, Baby (PG, 1975) movie
If you like blaxploitation films you have probably seen this one already. This one, starring Pam Grier as Sheba is one of the classics—-but not necessarily because of its cinematic greatness. Pam plays a private detective who is helping her father fight mobsters. …
The Rosary Murders movie
From 1987, The Rosary Murders begins with a priest being murdered at a catholic hospital and the news that a woman is leaving the sisterhood to marry a non-catholic. She doesn’t quite make it, though, since she’s the next to be killed, and it’s quite the bloody scene, …
Film “Frozen” (2010)
I just finished watching this movie and I have to say I was impressed. It bills itself as a thriller and all you know about it from the previews and the poster is three kids get stuck on a chairlift and have to get back alive. …
The Devil and a Guy Named Webster
The premise of this episode is pretty much laid out in the title: The Devil and a Guy Named Webster. It is a fusion of the classic tale: The Devil and Daniel Webster, but instead of the famous American orator we get Emmanuel Lewis (best known as star …
Casablanca movie
Classic love triangle, memorable lines, told against an exotic backdrop of French Morocco. These elements served the artists well back in 1942, and have stood the test of time. Casablanca is a treasure among great films.
Anything Bogie steps into is going to come out shining like the North Star. …
Cloverfield (movie)
Rob and I went to see this movie the other day entitled Cloverfield. The movie was done in the same method that The Blair Witch Project was filmed as if you were watching the movie unfold as someone is filming a party in New York City. The …
Freedom Writers (movie)
Freedom Writers stars Hilary Swank as the teacher who goes into a system that is doomed and comes out on top. Hilary Swank is awesome as Erin, and she does not disappoint at all in this role. Another thing that I really like about Freedom Writers is that it …
Divorce His - Divorce Hers Part 1 movie
Divorce His - Divorce Hers was a big event back in 1973 when it aired, and that’s because it starred the then married couple, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. The two play Martin and Jane Reynolds, a divorced couple. This movie has the distinction of being the …
New Capitol Cinema
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 …
Beastmaster movie
Whenever I watch Beastmaster, I can understand why it’s a movie that has been shown on television as much as it has.
Marc Singer puts on a very good performance as Dar, a man who is seeks revenge against the evil priest who slaughtered his entire family at the beginning …
Movie: The Noose Hangs High
Synopsis: Bud Abbott and Lou Costello star as two window washers who are given the task of picking up $50,000 for a local mobster. They are double crossed by the guy giving them the money and, because someone is trying to steal it, come up with a plan to …
Harry and the Hendersons Movie
On their way back from a camping trip, the Henderson family hits something - or someone. What they first thought to be a large animal and then feared to turn out a human is actually a bigfoot, the mysterious apelike creature said to live in the woods. As the …
One Missed Call (PG-13, 2008) movie
How laughable this film was. I am almost ashamed to admit that I rented it from Netflix. Usually, I will see the Asian original before seeing the Americanized version. This is one instance where I wish I had. For the most part, the …
SWAT movie
There are some movies that I could quote in entirety, line for line without any problems at all. One of these is the 2003 movie SWAT. This movie chronicles the rise of the a Los Angeles SWAT team made up of characters played by Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, …
“Little Drummer Girl” Movie (Drama)
“The Little Drummer Girl” as a film is perhaps to some not has compact in its storytelling as the best selling novel written by author John Le Carre. The adaptation of the novel to film does not reach the depth as to the audience member’s emotional response as …
40 days and 40 nights
This movie was entertaining but that is about it. If you are bored one night and enjoy movies like this then I would recommend it. This movie isn’t for everyone though. Josh Hartnett and Shannyn Sossamon play in it. Josh Hartnett plays Matt Sullivan who decides to vow to …
The Hunt (2012)
As a fan of cinema entertainment I indulged in watching the movie called The hunt. I choose to watch this movie because of the actor Mads Mikkelsen was the lead Role. Besides that factor, I was drawn to the plot of the film. I must warn that my …
The wind will carry us movie
The wind will carry us is a film by Abbas Kiarostami, who is known for films like Close-Up and maybe most of all - one of my own personal favorites - Taste of cherry. His style is very slow, but in his case it’s always a positive thing, because …
Breakdown movie
Introduction
Jeff Taylor’s wife Amy has been kidnapped. To go on top of that something isn’t right with many of the people Jeff encounters in the area. Its like there all in cahoots with one another. The people Jeff encounters are certainly not outgoing. Jeff is on his own to …
Movie Accepted
I am a person who normally avoids movies about college life. It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed classics like Animal House, but it seems most college-themed movies focus almost solely on showing as many naked co-eds as possible and the films really lack substance.
That’s why I’m glad I got …
Mad Money
Every one wants more money; especially when the economy is the way it is. That’s why I think the movie Mad Money turned out to be a much better film than I expected it to be; it was very easy to relate to.
The film is about three women (and …
Body of Lies (movie)
Starring the two talented actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Russel Crowe, the movie “Body of Lies” was nowhere near disappointing. It is one of the most thrilling, tense and suspenseful movies I’ve seen about espionage in a long time, and I would truly encourage those who have an interest in these …
Just Like Heaven movie
I’m not a teeny pinky type of person who likes “pop culture”. But, I must say, though the movie “Just Like Heaven” considered as a romatic-comedy that is the target crowd was kind of teens turns out nicely nice.
It is indeed a light kind of movie with a justified …
Jab We Met Film
Jab We Met Film Review
Jab we met star shahid Kapur and Karina Kapur in lead role. The story is about a gal Karina Kapur who losses her Train to her home town Bhainda and blame Shahid Kapur for it. And ask him to drop her home. During the …
Baby Geniuses (1999)
Scientifically engineered babies are used to fund a secret organization that in turns fund a theme park. Hmmm, a very interesting situation. I don’t get it and neither will you. LOL! All you will need to understand about this movie is that there are super babies cultivated by scientists …
Columbo: A Trace of Murder movie
There were only three more movies for Columbo after 1997’s A Trace of Murder in which Peter Falk’s wife, Shera Danese, again received first billing of the guest stars. She’s Cathleen Calvert, the wife of a rich man and the dependent of a strong pre-nuptial agreement. To …

12 Monkeys
My wife has never seen the movie 12 Monkeys before so I decided to load it on our Netflix Player last night.
When I did this, I realized I hadn’t seen it in a while either so it was a bit like watching a brand new movie. And, even after …
MacArthur film
I can’t think of general Douglas MacArthur without thinking of Gregory Peck and the 1977 film MacArthur is the reason.
Peck plays the legendary World War II and Korea leader in this entertaining, yet somewhat biased film. And, overall, he does a pretty good job at it.
I liked this movie …
Duplex movie
I must admit that “Duplex” is definitely one of my Ben Stiller’s favourite movies, even though it was a cinema flop. I believe that Ben Stiller and the actress, Drew Barrymore make a great on screen couple and you simply cannot watch this movie and end up not having …
My Bloody Valentine Movie
My Blood Valentine was a horror movie made during the 1980s when there was a rash of R rated horror movies coming out. The movie follows a group of young people in a small mining town. Years before a serial killer killed a bunch of people on Valentine’s Day …
Ultimate Avengers 2 Movie
The sequel to Marvel’s first Ultimate Avengers movie is, in my humble opinion, superior to the first. Having established our characters at this point, Ultimate Avengers 2 is allowed to take a bit more time advancing a plot.
Not that there aren’t a couple of new characters here. …
Unfaithful film
Adrian Lyne’s UNFAITHFUL is a film not for the faint of heart. That is not to say that it is in some way gruesome or graphically gory. It’s sentimentally hard to watch. In UNFAITHFUL, Diane Lane’s character Connie’s motivation for infidelity is not thoroughly or intellectually explored. She appears …
Herbie Fully Loaded Movie
Herbie Fully Loaded is one of those movies that I probably shouldn’t like, but somehow I really loved it. That doesn’t mean I’ll have the movie sitting out where my friends can see it, but I do love it. When I first heard about the movie I was pretty …
GroundHog Day
Aw, this is an older movie but I think that the whole family would enjoy it. It has Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. It’s about a guy who keeps waking up and living the same day over and over again. Talk about a drag ! But Bill Murray does …
Man of the House
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Man of the House, starring Chevy Chase and Jonathan Taylor Thomas. This movie is a classic. It is about a little boy (Thomas) whose father leaves he and his mother at a young age. As the little boy grows up, he and …
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
Ok, I’ve heard the song enough this holiday season to make my head explode. But, I have to admit the animated movie based on Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer was actually pretty good.
The movie, which I didn’t time but believe is about an hour long, basically gives …
Saw V
I am a big fan of horror movies especially the horror movie entitled “SAW”. This horror movie is a successful. Many people are watching this movie because this is very screaming. I love it. I used to shout when I watch it. This makes me crazy … hahaha that’s …
Tales of the Abyss Anime
