Movie: The Girl Next Door
My wife and I got a chance to watch some movies this past weekend (mostly because the kids were in bed early for a change). One of the films we ended up watching was one we hadn’t heard of before; The Girl Next Door.
Well, actually, I had heard of …

Unknown (2011 Movie)
The combination of Liam Neeson and so many comparisons to 2008’s “Taken,” I was more excited about 2011’s “Unknown” than I should have been based on the preview. Although I wasn’t really excited about the movie’s premise, I was still hopeful. It was a really big letdown.
There’s no …
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
After three years from interpreting the role of Benjamin Franklin Gates, Nicholas Cage returns in this role with the sequel “National Treasure: Book of Secrets”. I believe that this role for Cage represents what Indiana Jones was and still is for Harrison Ford.

The Incredibles
This movie was, if you’ll pardon the use of the word, incredible. And believe it or not, it was not because of the animation. It was the story that made this film so likable. So good, in fact, that I almost wish it were a live action superhero movie …
Manchester By The Sea (2016 Drama Film)
Just before the film ended when Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) finally acknowledged the guilt that manifested inside him I hit the pause button. I went to the bathroom and let the faucet running - it was the first time I had an emotional breakdown while watching a film. I just …
The Wolverine (movie)
When the movie “The Wolverine” was released last year, I found that I was nowhere near interested in seeing it unlike the other movies in the “X-men” series. Until now, I still have a difficulty placing my finger on why exactly this was since I generally look forward to …
Pirates of the Caribbean 2 - Dead Mans Chest
This had to be one of my favorite movies of all summer. I would have to say it was even better than the first one! Not only was this movie full of suspense and action, but it had a bunch of laughs, whether it be Jack Sparrow running in …

The Parent Trap
I could watch DVD movies acted by Lindsay Lohan a day’s straight. I don’t know why, but her acting is so good and with such a young age, The Parent Trap is probably one of her earlier best movies when she was at a young age that I first …

The movie Harry potter is marvellous. Actually I had not seen this movie at all, but I had heard about this movie by many of my friends and my colleagues. My kids love to watch movie a lot and recently when the movie Harry potter was …

DVD PATRIOT
Has Mel Gibson ever made a worse film?
Trying to cash in on Mel’s tremendous success in BRAVEHEART, Roland (THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW among other travesties) Emmerlich cast Mel in a really badly written American Revolution historical picture.
Originally conceived as a WW2 movie, it mutated into the junk that …
Remember the titans
Usually I don’t like movies about football or any sport for that matter. I really liked this movie though. It has Denzel Washington in it. I think he did an amazing job in this movie, like he usually does. The movie was good because it had a very good …

Rocket Science movie
Unlike its title, the movie “Rocket Science” has almost nothing to do with anything scientific. However, I till admit that the plot makes it quite an interesting and unusual teenage film. In fact, I’m still trying to recall right now if I’ve ever seen another film with a similar …
Girls from St. Trinians movie
St. Trinian’s is a “legendary” school for girls that is nothing like any other school you’ve ever seen. The Headmistress (played by brilliant actor Rupert Everett) will not comment on students throwing each other over the balcony, but she will yell to tuck their shirts in. Chemistry is all …
The Ring movie
The Ring is one of the best scary movies to come out this decade. I think this movie is up there with the Exorcist. The US version is very well done and very creepy. I think what is so scary about the movie is that the whole time you …
The Holiday Movie
There are some actors and actresses that I avoid when deciding what movies to go to the theater and watch or what movies to rent. I usually avoid anything with Jude Law, Jack Black, and Cameron Diaz. So imagine my surprise when I actually rented a movie staring all …
Dennis The Menace (The Movie)
Dennis the Menace was an adorable television show about a troublesome little boy. They turned it into an even more adorable movie. Dennis is still causing Mr. Wilson to become stressed out as he tries to help him and Mrs. Wilson is still telling him that Dennis is just …

I am reviewing the murder mystery movie, Strangler’s Wood, starring John Nettles and Daniel Casey. This film was made in 1999, was produced by Brian True-May and Betty Willingale, and is based on the novels written by author Caroline Graham.
Strangler’s Wood is a movie that revolves around the mysterious …
The Last Airbender Movie (2010)
There was too much gossip and too much type before this movie was even screened and I didn’t really like these type of movies as I don’t like all those Qi stuff, but I still watched this as I would always give something the benefit of the doubt and …

True Romance movie
The screenplay of this film was written by Quentin Tarantino, but it was directed by Tony Scott. The result of this got better than I personally would have expected, as it is an amazingly intense action road movie with a lot of graphical violence and a list of quality …
Miss Congeniality 2,2005 movie
Miss Congeniality 2 is a decent sequel, perhaps not so good as the first movie but still a funny movie to watch. After going undercover to the Miss United States beauty pageant as one of the participants, agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) finds it difficult to continue her work …
Grease (1978)
Let me start off by saying that this movie right here that goes by the name ‘Grease’ is the best musical movie that has ever been made and to date is still the best musical movie ever! In no other movie will you be so drawn to each character …

Open Water 2
This is a surprisingly good sequel. What made it good was how it diverged from the original. The main danger in Open Water was the ever present threat of shark attack. In Open Water 2, the writer and director cleverly play on the expectation …

Erin Brokovich Movie
Starring Julia Roberts (as Erin Brokovich) and Albert Finney, this movie is based on the true story of Erin Brokovich-Ellis (who makes a special appearance in the film ~ watch for her, as a waitress named, ironically, Julia). Aaron Eckhart is also in the film.
I loved this movie. …
Movie: Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is an epic 2005 film by Christopher Nolan, and starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, and Gary Oldman. This is a spectacular movie that did much to erase the memory of the horrible Batman movies of the 1990s.
Pros: Nolan obviously loves the …
Butterfly Effect (2004)
First of all, if you are not familiar with a certain classic story, you will be left wondering what on earth “Butterfly Effect” means and what butterflies have to do with the plot of this movie. I happen to have heard of that story, although I do not remember …

The movie A Shark’s Tale
A Shark’s Tale is one of those movies that looks like it might be okay, but the thought of paying movie theater prices to see it scares the crap out of you. I had this problem on the one hand it had a really great cast. Even Robert De …

Four Rooms (R-1995) movie
Anyone who’s a fan of Madonna or Quentin Tarantino has probably found their careers to lead them to a film called Four Rooms. It’s basically a vignette of sorts: Four rooms in a hotel are rented out on New Year’s Eve, to four groups of guests. The …
For the Love of the Game

Fifty Shades of Grey (erotic romance movie)
I remember when the book Fifty Shades of Grey became so popular that even people who I knew never bought a book in their lives began to devour it mostly for the sex scenes. Then of course when the movie came out, everyone claimed that I just had to see …
Marley & Me (2008)
This movie starts off simple enough with a newly married couple finding their way in the world, firstly by moving to a newer, warmer city, finding jobs and then finding a place to call home. Everything was going well, that was until talks of a baby came up and …

The Shawshank Redemption
The Shawshank Redemption is a very good movie that may take you several times of watching before you really get all the little nuances that are going on. At least for me, that is what happened. I got the big picture right away, but it took several viewings to …
