Happy Feet movie
I went to see the movie Happy Feet with my sister, brother-in-law, their kids, and a friend and her daughter. I wasn’t that big on the movie. I didn’t like it at all, in fact. Other than a good joke that was repeated so much that …

Akira (movie 1988)
Spectular…just Spectular!! The pinnacle in Anime, no other work has come close to matching the raw talent in Akira. It’s a visual masterpiece. It’s easy to see why this film is great…and seeing is believing, you must see it to believe it. I dare not tell you what the …
Coraline movie
My roommate was under the mistaken impression that this was a Tim Burton film. In actuality, Tim Burton had nothing to do with it, but you can see why he would be under that impression.
The movie is based off of a novel by Neil Gaiman, of “Sandman” fame. …

Nationsal Treasure film
I was recently coaxed into watching this film due to there being nothing else on at the cinema and my mates were bored. I went not expecting much, and left with a surprise- this movie was brilliant.
The film centers round the exploits of Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage)in attempt to …

The David Lynch Interview Project
Thanks to the wonder of the internet, I have discovered via following David Lynch’s news updates on Facebook and Twitter that in between his mind-boggling films which tend to be about 5 years apart, Lynch’s artistic juices continue to flow and he produces sculptures, paintings, promotes music and then …

A revival of the 1980 film, this movie follows the lives of several students attending the New York City High School for the performing arts. Students with talent in any of the performing arts are encouraged to attend, but space is limited. The movie follows the lives …
Ivan the Terrible movie
One of Sergei Eisenstein’s sound films, in which a historical epic about the ruthless emperor Ivan is told. It is a very powerful visual film, and Eisenstein puts all of his effort on effects, magnificent camerawork and a dynamic style of editing. All of this is a brilliant as …
Lucky You movie
“Lucky You” is a great movie about poker. I feel that, although this is a good film, it may lack appreciation from the general public due to the fact that it is too focused on poker and how a poker player can be so insensitive to the environment and …
Movie The Last House on the Left
I went to see The Last House on the Left this week with one of my good friends. We were in the mood to see a scary movie, and this was pretty much the only one out. I hadn’t seen a preview for it (that I remembered) so I …
Lovelace (2013 Biography Drama Movie)
I heard about the famous pornstar Linda Lovelace, but I didn’t know much about her. Therefore I was interested when I heard there was a biographical drama in the making for a movie about her life as a pornstar. I wanted to know what made her stand out so much …
Babel (Film)
Trust me if I say this: I have never seen a film with intertwining characters as honest and coincidental as this. All because of Alejandro Gonzales Inaritu’s compelling writing and masterful directing that we were able to see four stories, in three countries interweave each other in the most …
Great Mouse Detective
I am reviewing the Disney movie, The Great Mouse Detective. I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, and so I emensely enjoyed this movie. If you’re a Sherlock fan, you have to check this cute film out. Once again, Disney focuses its main characters on mice. A …
Movie: The Descent
The Descent is a horror cum gore movie, that horror seekers would love to watch. However, I have some qualms watching this movie, and I was at the verge of vomitting seeing the supposedly “monster” viciously attacking its preys or victims.
This story is about a group of girlfriends, …
Josie and the Pussycats movie
I spent a good chunk of my Saturday morning watching movies on some of the movie channels we have a free trial of. One of them was Josie and the Pussycats; a movie I haven’t seen in a while.
This is a great movie, at least better than you might …
The Bench Warmers the movie
I really enjoy watching the Bench Warmers over and over and over again and when I first watched it I thought it was lame but than I started watching it again and again and again and it got funnier every time I watched it. There were so many funny …
The Giver (science fiction movie)
I actually saw the trailer for the movie “The Giver” by accident, but somehow I forgot about it, because a few other things that were released around the same period of time seemed to overshadow it. However, by the time that it got on Blu-ray, I remembered enough about it …
Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D
Journey to the Center of the Earth was fantastic. This movie is 3D. You are given 3D glasses upon purchasing your ticket. As for the movie, it was quite good. The 3D effects are used well. I believe that they could’ve been used even more than they were, but …
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)
This story is a remake three times over and this remake just did not make the grade, for the life of me, no matter how many times I start watching and try to watch this movie, I just get extremely bored and I have to switch away to something …
Apocalypto
Mel Gibson’s awaited epic drama, Apocalypto, takes place in an ancient indian society in South America before the conquest by the europeans. Like his previous work as a director on The Passion, Gibson has also this time chosen to use actors speaking the native language of the time. In …
Land of the Dead, movie (2005)
When zombies made their return to the forefront of horror film, there were almost as many good ones as bad ones. For every good one like 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead, there were bad ones like the remakes for Dawn of the Dead and Day …
Paris,Texas movie
Wim Wenders was a part of the german new wave in the early 70s along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog for instance. The opinions of Wenders are very divided, and I personally think his later films are very overrated, but back in the 70s and 80s he …
Movie: Tremors 3
I finally got a chance to sit down and relax about 8 last night and, while flipping channels, came across a movie I haven’t seen in a while; Tremors 3.
This movie, which is of course, the third movie in the Tremors series, isn’t anywhere near as good as the …
Transporter 3
I been watching the Transporter series for quite a while already. I was clearly impressed on how cool was the “Frank Martin” character.
In this third series, it involves Frank transporting a kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official. Clearly for a start, I had difficulties catching up on …
Interstellar (science fiction drama movie)
Initially I was torn between wanting to watch Interstellar and actually watching it, because I’d read a lot of bad reviews about it on the internet. Some reviewers including one of my good friends who has a similar taste as mine in movies, claimed it was terrible, hyped up and …
Vantage Point
Vantage Point is a movie that I had watched a few weeks back which I think had no plot whatsoever. Indeed if you see the title, it is sort of misleading and you would think that it is a boring movie. But it turned out to be a …
Space Camp
If you read the description on the back of the box, the movie Space Camp probably will sound like something so far fetched it isn’t worth watching. But, resist that desire to put it back on the shelf and rent it anyway.
Of all the 80s science fiction films to …
Just Go With It movie
Just Go With It —“ I was charmed by the two main characters but the plot was totally implausible!
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston bring style and so much charisma to this predictable story - or at least the ending was predictable —“ the rest of it was mind boggling …
Made of Honor
When you have got two great movies in a row, you end up comparing one with the other. One will end up being very good and the other one is less good. “Made of Honor” was labelled by many critics as the less good movie of the actor, Patrick …

84 Charing Cross Road (1987 movie)
The movie “84 Charing Cross Road” is a charming, feel-good movie about a mail love affair between two people who have never met but through an extended exchange of letters learn to like, respect, and love each other, or at least the idea of each other. The literary roman begins …
Back to the Future Part 2
I found the movie “Back to the FUture Part 2″ just as exciting as its prequel “Back to the FUture Part 1″. Nevertheless, I am not sure if it got the same amount of attention as the first one did. It stars some of the same actors and actresses …
Movie 1408 by John Cusack
1408 is a horror film by John Cusack and Samuel Jackson. Well most of the movie of course shows John Cusack as Mike Enslin’s struggle inside a hotel room, supposedly haunted the room 1408. Mike Enslin here is a paranormal “writer”, with his profession; he stays at …
Old Dogs movie
This movie stars John Travolta and Robin Williams. It came out in 2009. The plot revolves around two men who are best friends and business partners who end up having to baby sit two kids. The kids happen to be Robin Williams’ kids and needless to say he …
Dragonball Evolution cartoon movie
What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …
Antz Disney Movie
Antz is one of Disney’s newer movies to be released on dvd. I have seen it multiple times, and it again and again impresses me. Its anamations are so impressive, and I am forever astounded at how detailed the characters’ facial gestures are, and how fluent their …
Beethoven movie
I am reviewing the Disney movie, Beethoven. It stars a lot of people. So there’s this puppy. He follows home this guy one day and settles himself in the family. He is a Saint Bernard, and so he is a large addition to the family. The man, …
Big Man on Campus movie
What a silly movie. Obviously, it was inspired by “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” in some weird way. The movie begins with students talking about sightings of some monster on campus. The descriptions of the monster vary, and it is clear that some of the “witnesses” are simply making …
Happy feet
Happy feet may not be as child friendly as it’s animation may imply.
The film follows the story of a penguin who seems unable to fulfill his duty in life, that being to find a mate through singing his “heart song”. Mumbles, the unfortunate penguin, was blessed with a very …
Film “Groundhog Day”
The movie Groundhog Day is one of my favorite movies of all time because it has a lot to offer. It is a comedy but it does not relay on silly gags or stunts you have seen in other movies. It does have a handful of gags such …
Krull movie
A science Fiction about the planet Krull. This place is visited by an evil creature and his army that plans to take over the planet. This is something that the two kings ruling the planet will not accept, and forms an alliance that will fight back against the evil …
Movie: High Fidelity (2000)
I thought this movie was extremely entertaining. Rob Gordon, (expertly portrayed by John Cusack) is in the midst of a nasty split from his current girlfriend, Laura (played by Iben Hjejle, best of luck pronouncing that!). He is mad at the world and cannot understand why he cannot succeeed …
Total Recall 2070
I have watched most of the movies listed under Science fiction on Netflix, but had never seen Total Recall 2070, mostly because it was hard to imagine a sequel to a marginally above average movie without any of the cast returning, and made for television could be any good.
I …
Movie Rush Hour 3
When they came out with a 3rd Rush Hour movie, my first thought was “this will have a few laughs but will fail to live up to the first two movies.” After watching the movie this past weekend, I can now say I was wrong. This movie might actually …
