I’m not usually one of those people who run to see every Mission Impossible movie that is released. However, when I saw the trailer for this one and saw the amount of stunts and action in it, I thought that this was definitely something that I could not miss. After …

I went to see this film with a bunch of my friends. We had seen the advert and thought it looked quite good.

What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …

“The Bad and the Beautiful” is an MGM movie filmed in black and white, lasting 118 minutes. It is a taut, well-crafted movie that left me alternately liking, despising, and admiring Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas). These emotions seemed to be those of the main characters as well.
“The Bad …

If you�re a big fan of the television show Cold Case, then you may want to consider renting the movie Vanished if you haven�t seen it yet.
While the script leaves quite a bit to be desired, the movie and the intrigue it creates isn�t too bad. It�s not great, …

Not knowing anything about the movie The Kingdom, I added it to my Netflix queue. I figured since it starred Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, and Chris Copper it would probably be a decent movie. Right from the very beginning of the movie it was very action involved. The movie …

If you are looking for a film that is slightly off the beaten path, you should watch “Feed.” But don’t expect riveting acting or plot direction. For there is none. This isn’t a terrible film. In fact, in a lot of ways it is quite …

Sucker Punch is one of those movies that you have to watch with an open mindset. The jest of this movie, for the most part, isn’t going to come to you quickly. To the plain eye, it looks like a fantasy chick flick with vivid graphics. I can be honest …

When I saw the preview to King Kong, I knew it was a must seen movie . I was right. I didn’t care to watch the old King Kong, because I don’t like older movies. However, the new one, even though created in modern times, shows the world …

This movie is typical Hollywood fluff, with overdone “passion” and sexing. The storyline is okay; it could have been a decent movie if it was done right. Shakespeare, played by Joseph Fiennes, is struggling with a writing crisis, he thinks he has lost his gift and searches for a …

In a nutshell, “The Bachelor” is all about a guy who doesn’t want to commit to marriage, which is a reality these days more than ever! The interesting aspect about this movie is that it is a cute, funny romantic comedy that can be enjoyed both by men and …

The 40 Year Old Virgin, in my opinion, is one of the better Apatow related movies. Movies from the Apatow crowd include Anchorman, Superbad, Knocked Up, etc. Back to 40 year Old Virgin, I haven’t laughed this hard during a movie in a long time. Most …

Going old school with this review and I mean old school. Zombiethon is a VHS that features clips from 7 zombie movies. No, that wasn’t a typo from me; Zombiethon is just a collection of other movies. Why would something like even be created? Maybe the same reason why …

I was expecting big things when I rented The Hangover on DVD; I expected, given the trailers and my friends’ views, that I would be laughing uproariously the entire time. However, although there were some funny and witty moments, I was disappointed. It had good moments, when I did …

Justin Timberlake is of course, the draw for this film. But he’s not really the one who makes the most impact. I liked that he was in it. And for some reason, I felt that it wasn’t too far a stretch from how he really acts …

I was watching some movies on TV last night and came across Superman. I hadn’t seen it in a while so I figured I would give the movie (which is almost as old as I am) another chance.
It is still as good today as it was then; which is …

“The Ultimate Gift” is such a good movie, I don’t know where to start reviewing it! The plot is excellent. We’ve got a wealthy old man Red, who leaves a rather unusual will. Before he dies, Red records a series of video messages. In those messages, he talks mostly …

This was Michael Moore’s first political documentary, here focusing on his hometown Flint and the way politicians took it out of business on several different levels. Although I more than often agree with what Michael Moore says, I think he uses a cheap and manipulative way of convincing his …

A.M.C. is a theatre in Ontario - but it is not as famous as ‘famous players theatre’ because it is relatively new. If you go on weekdays, it is practically deserted. A lot of people even sneak in because they barely have any security on weekdays so I think …

When it comes to true movie classics, Back to the Future will always be one. Even if it’s basic theme is 20 or so years old, it has a great message and storyline behind it.

I watched the movie The Notebook some time ago and thought it was a pretty decent, unique movie. But, today, I ended up watching it again. I’m not sure why. But, I just didn’t like the film as much as I thought I did.
Perhaps my views and preferences have …
