The Pacifier movie
I really love this movie. Its a fresh role for Vin Diesel, I love how much he acted on this movie. I really love the comedy with all the military discipline he was trying to rule over the children. I really like it so much since its really very …
The Hours (2002) starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, and Julianne Moore
I think “The Hours” has most of the ingredients I deem necessary for a good movie. It is one of my favorite movies made in recent years. There is strong character development among the three main characters: Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman), Laura Brown (Julianne Moore), and Clarissa Vaughan (Meryl …

The Nativity Story
I am reviewing the movie, The Nativity Story. I’m not sure who the actors are in this movie but they all did a good job. The Nativity Story follows the story of Mary and Joseph, and the birth of Jesus. It also follows King Herrod and his crazy quest …
Shoot Em Up (2007)
Shhot Em up, Directed by Michael Davis is Rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America and stars Clive Owen as Smith, Paul Giamatti as Hertz and Monica Bellucci as Donna.

The Christmas Wish (2003 DVD)
I have a family member who happens to love Christmas movies. Personally, I find them pretty repeditive and lame. I’ve seen so many of them that I’m frankly a little sick of the typical Christmas movie.
Recently we saw that our local library had a Christmas movie that …
Dark Mountain movie
1944’s Dark Mountain is a really nice B-motion picture. Certainly, there’s nothing stellar in this less than one hour movie, but the story is entertaining, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself while watching it.
Robert Lowery starred as a forest ranger named Don Bradley. I have no idea who …
Movie Mad Money
“Mad Money” is simply a great movie with mixture of comic and dramatic moments. The main actors in this movie are Diane Keaton, Ted Danson, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes and all of them do their part well, however Keaton gives that extra bit more and it shows.
“Mad Money” …
27 Dresses Movie
27 Dresses is one of those cute and fluffy movies that you can watch one and then instantly forget about it. It’s not that the movie is necessarily bad, but it just doesn’t make much of an impression. I’ve seen a lot of romantic comedies over the years and …

The original release date was October 5, 2001 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Crime/Drama/Thriller and stars Denzel …

The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness (”happyness” intentionally misspelled) is unusually good, in fact I would say it is one of the best movies I’ve recently watched. Will Smith plays Chris, a poor man trying hard to provide for his family but not succeeding, for a long time. His wife is …
Movie Just Like Heaven
I went to go see this movie, while it was still in theaters, with my husband. It was supposed to be a nice, date-like evening, so we chose the one that looked both funny and romantic. We weren’t disappointed. In fact, I think he like the …
Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace, is a decent bond film, but nothing like the originals, and pales in comparison to the previous bond film. This movie does have action, however, it is a darker and more serious bond. The story is mediocre, and mostly involves Bond getting over what happened in …
xXx: State of the Union movie
If you have ever seen the first xXx (Triple X) movie, you cannot deny that it really did not need a sequel. This one stars Ice Cube as the new, more intense xXx. C’mon…this movie is substandard and really disappointing, not to mention, very distressing to watch. There is …
The Lake House Movie
Trying to describe this movie is difficult because the “science” of it detracts from its warmth and the beauty of the love story between two people who had to be together in spite of the impossibilty of it. I watch it often and never tire of it.
A quirk in the …
My Best Friend’s Girl movie
I love Kate Hudson’s movies. They’re the kind that you can just enjoy because of the theme. Most of her movies are romantic comedies and when i feel really stressed, all I need is a good laugh. Recently, I watched My Best Friend’s Girl. I have a lot of …
Avatar 3D
Avatar 3D is in my opinion one of the best science-fiction movies ever made. With stunning graphical detail, excellent actors and a well-thought-out plot, Avatar 3D should definitely win its share of awards and collect millions at the box office.
The “avatars” in the movie, blue creatures with …
Babel, the movie
I got to see the movie Babel with a friend last week, and we came out with mixed opinions. I liked the film, and she was less thrilled by it. We both agreed on several things, though. We agreed that the film is fairly interesting and …
Movie 17 Again
I recently ordered 17 Again from Netflix. I had mixed feelings about it. It was mildly entertaining with some cute parts, and I am a big fan of Michelle Trachtenburg, who plays the main character Mike’s daughter. Otherwise, the movie was a little cheesy and unrealistic. …
Bruno
If you liked Sacha Baron Cohen’s most famous movie, Borat, you will find Bruno funny. Yes, this latest controversial and extremely politically incorrect comedy is over-the-top in the poor taste department. I do admit to finding the reactions of the people he encounters to be hilarious, and in …
Malevolence (horror movie)
I kept reading some good reviews about the movie “Malevolence” but when I got to watch it I was very disappointed. It is one of those horror movies where the plot only sounds very good on paper. I thought that the rating should have been average at the very least …

Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back (NR, 2008)
I only rented this movie because I thought that the first one was fairly decent. Looking back, I realize that not only was the first one not as good as I’d imagined, there NEVER should have been a sequel. The whole concept behind this film …
Warlock (1989)
Julian Sands is a warlock being accused of practicing witch-craft and is condemned to be hung and burnt. On the day before his execution, he escapes and teleports to modern day from the past. Kinda like from the day of the pilgrims to present day.
In hot pursuit to recapture …
The Baader-Meinhof Complex movie
I suppose watching The Baader-Meinhof Complex has totally alerted me to appreciate movie making of this genre very much. This is quite a deep movie and I have a certain analysis after watching it. In a world now where there are issues of terrorism and many more, watching …
Footloose movie
When I was younger I wanted to watch the movie “Footloose” very badly. I was a small child in the early nineties, and would sometimes see the movie going on some Sundays on one of the local channels, but ironically I never got to see it until I was …
Gone Baby Gone
This was an excellent movie. I can’t really tell you what it is about because it will ruin the movie. I can tell you that it is about a little girl that is missing. It kept me interested throughout the whole movie. I thought that the movie was going …
Trial & Error
I am reviewing the movie, Trial & Error, starring Jeff Daniels and the Kramer guy from Seinfeld. There are two best friends. One of them is a highly respected, successful lawyer. He hasn’t lost a case. He is played by Jeff Daniels. He is engaged to be married …

1941 movie
I remember watching the movie 1941 quite a few years ago and thinking it was a very funny film. That’s why, when I had the opportunity to load it on our Netflix player and watch it this weekend, I did.
I’m thinking my tastes in comedies has changed over the …
Hulk vs. Wolverine (2009)
This is a classic battle that has managed to cross over from the pages of the comic books and finally on to DVD. The battle between mighty powers created by Marvel and the universe that they have created. In this animated movie, you get to decide who will emerge …
Movie The Scorpion King
An action-filled romp, this prequel to “The Mummy 2” tells the tale of an ancient time when the evil King Memnon is sending his troops across vast lands to conquer all neighboring armies and peoples. King Memnon is not only securing his victories through the prowess of his …
Young Sherlock Holmes movie
A surprisingly interesting film about the genius detective. Since the days of Basil Rathbone there have been few exceptions from the rule of failed Sherlock Holmes films, but this is one of those, much because it doesn’t follow a story written by Conan Doyle in the first place. Instead …
Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah’s Umbrella
A few months ago, my daughter watched the Veggie Tale movie Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson’s Hair Brush. She liked it so much, she wanted me to order it through Netflix for her again.
However, I came across the sequel to that movie, Minnesota Cuke and the Search …
Monsters University (animated movie)
Even though I tend to like animated movies I had put off watching “Monsters University” for a very long time. This was because I thought that I might find it to be too immature for my tastes since I had read quite a few bad reviews on it. Nevertheless, I …

Hernando Movie
A short, animated musical about an adventurer and his crew. They decide to set out on a journey to find the hidden treasures that once belonged to the famous pirate Hernando.
I admit this is a very good-looking film and I suppose a lot of hard work was put into …
When Harry Met Sally
When Harry Met Sally was one of Meg Ryan’s old movie. I like her so much as an actress that’s why I bought a DVD of this movie. At first I was skeptical if it was a good movie. I was able to watch it so my verdict is …

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
I don’t know why everyone around me seems to find Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince a boring watch. Perhaps they are but I was like enjoying the movie, laughing throughout especially when it comes to the love potion. But I am just too lazy to think …
Finn’s Girl movie
“Satisfyingly adult in its depiction of female sexuality” - that’s an endorsement from LA Weekly for this movie.
The cover’s poster is two woman holding each other tight and smiling happily, as they’re in love. So i guess this is a lesbian movie, right? But not the one you …
Empire Theatre New Minas, NS
We are often at this theatre, as we try to go for a movie night out together once a week. It is a very nice theatre and the location is great, in the heart of New Minas, on the main road, close to shopping and restaurants, and a nice …
