Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: The Movie
I was not too fond of the fifth movie in the Harry Potter series that I was not really looking forward to the release of the movie version of the sixth installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. But being a true-blue Harry Potter fan, I eventually saw the …
Thunderball
How many James Bond movies are there now? Like five hundred, six hundred, seven thousand and seventy two? I know there are a whole lot, and probably a whole lot more to come. I admit, I haven’t seen very many James Bond movies. Some of the ones I have …
Waking Up in Reno movie
Waking Up in Reno is a quirky movie that was released in 2002 after a long and oft-postponed opening. This is another movie that surprised me with all the difficulties of being released. It had a stellar cast, but for some reason, there were an abundance of …
A Walk in the Clouds
I am not a fan of romance films, but I would still recommend the movie “A Walk in the Clouds” to anyone who loves watching a good romance film. Nevertheless, I think that like most other romance films which I have seen, the plot of the movie is lacking …
Adventureland movie
What an upset of a movie this was. I am surprised that I heard as many good reviews about it because I thought it sucked. I didn’t laugh not even one time during the whole duration of the movie. The movies is about a boy who just graduates from …

The Boy (2016 Horror Movie)
The first time I heard about the movie “The Boy” was when I was search through the trailers for new movies. The second time was when I saw the trailer while in the theatre waiting for another movie to begin. The concept looked creepy, so I decided that I was …

This movie falls in the genre of Action/Crime/Thriller and stars Mel Gibsona s Sergearnt Martin Riggs, Danny Glover as Sergeant Roger …
Inkheart movie
The moment I heard what “Inkheart” was about, I knew I had to see that movie. For someone who loves books, the concept of book characters coming out from the pages into our world is fascinating.
“Inkheart” is based on a novel by Conrelia Funke. Those who have read the …
Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, movie
On the off chance that you weren’t aware, these movies are kind of silly. The film makers know that the premise is ridiculous and just go all out with it. More often than not, it makes for an entertaining time.
The second one was a bit of a dud, but …
Steel Magnolias (1989)
This movie centers around a sickly woman and the choices that she makes in her life that cause her to either live or die, plans are currently in place for her marriage and after that fact, she is set to have a baby, all this in light of the …
Christina’s House movie
I watched this movie on lifetime Movie network the other day. It was an overall alright movie. It was worth watching but it isn’t a movie I would watch again or buy. It’s a good movie for a rainy day. If you are really in the mood for a …
Phone Booth Movie
Honesty and having the option to tell peole the complete truth is always taken for granted. The act of lying is being done way more than it should and things need to be changed. That is the main theme Joel Schumacher was trying to create while directing the movie …
Coffee & Cigarettes movie
Jim Jarmusch is probably the most successful american independent filmmaker ever, with great films like Down by Law and Mystery Train on his record, and recently he decided to recreate his old classic short film series Coffee & Cigarettes in a full feature format, and add a number of …
Ghostbusters the Movie
This is an oldie but a goodie. Certainly one of the funniest movies to come out dealing with the paranoia. It is also a nice reminder of the days when Bill Murray used to be funny. I really don’t know what happened to him, but he …
Jack and the Beanstalk movie
Jack Robinson finds a human skeleton on his properties which later leads him to start investigating in the matter. It finally leads him to a beanstalk growing right up in the sky, all the way to heaven.
This is a very enjoyable adaptation of the classic fairytale with a lot …
Night of the Comet
On the surface, the movie Night of the Comet should be nothing more than a B rated horror flick with no real redeeming qualities. Let’s face facts, having the Earth overrun by zombies isn’t exactly a unique concept.
But, after watching the movie for the first time this past weekend, …
Diary of the Dead
This is by far one of the most boring and silliest movies I have seen in a long time. I had watched it before it came out on cable television and DVD too, and had the unfortunate luck of having to sit and watch it again as my brother …
Neve Been Kissed
I like Drew Barrymore, she has such a vitality that it just bursts off the screen. I saw a movie on TV the other night that she starred in. It was called Never Been Kissed.
This was a sweet movie about a 25 year old journalist who decided …
Just My Luck, Donald Petrie Movie
Ashley Albright, girls that work on a public relations house is always full lucky indeed. Starting from her job to the romance problem. Unlike the case with Jake Hardin, a young man working as a janitor at a bowling club is always even over the steady cook, but is …
The Curious Case of Benjamen Button movie
The movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was written by F.Scott Fitzgerald. This is a movie about a man who ages in reverse and throughout the movie we would see events about growing up and college times that surround the 19th and 20th century. You would be surprise …
Soul Food (1997)
A very entertaining and vivid look into the stereo typical African American family as it shows how family ties are brought together and strengthened through the use of food. I have always heard the saying that goes ‘the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’. Now whether …
The House on Sorority Row movie
I ended up watching a 1980s slasher flick called The House on Sorority Row last night. I didn’t expect it to be any good. But, it ended up being better than I thought it would be.
Basically, the film is the same as pretty much any other horror movie that …
Death Race
Death Race is a 2008 movie starring Jason Statham as a man wrongly convicted of murdering his wife. In reality, he was set up by a crazy warden of a private prison because he is a great driver, and she needs someone to compete in her Death Race. …
Wanted (Angelina Joulie)
Yesterday I watched Wanted movie starring Angelina Joulie. I went to see mainly Angelina in action. As usual she is at her best.
I won’t discuss the storyline here as it will understood better if you watch the movie that read reviews about it. Anyway it is about a …
Say It Isn’t So movie
“Say It Isn’t So” was mainly promoted as the movie from the same producers of “Something About Mary”. However this movie together with the movie “Me, You and Irene” cannot really be compared to the great success of “Something About Mary”. I must also admit that between “Me, You …
Rocky Horror Picture Show
I have seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show two times in my lifetime; last night was the second time. Each time I enjoyed the movie but I found myself leaving awfully confused.
Let me start out by saying that, if you haven’t seen this movie already, you may want to …
Cadillac Records movie
As soon as I heard that this movie was going to be released in theatres, I tried my best to avoid it since I knew it would start the singer/wannabe actress Beyonce Knowles; as I really dislike her and think she ruins every movie she appears in. Nevertheless, some …
Movie Two for the money
The main ingredients for the movie “Two for the Money” are a great script and a trio of talented actors such as Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey and Rene Russo. I was prepared to see Al Pacino do an excellent acting job, however I was very impressed by McConaughey and …
SiCKO
As a liberal democrat, I enjoy Michael Moore’s films. While they are obviously biased, they are backed up with facts. But the bias is what the republicans mock. In this film, Michael Moore questions why Americans as a whole seem to have this deep-rooted fear of a universal health …
Movie: Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Synopsis: Tokyo Japan is under attack by a previously extinct dinosaur that is awakened by the H-Bomb and is now looking to destroy the city.
What I liked about this movie: Godzilla is one of the all-time classic monsters and even my 5-year-old knew who he was before even seeing …
Pitch Perfect, movie
This movie was pretty good. I won’t have that much to say about it. Even though it was a well-adjusted movie it wasn’t the best, and improvements could be made to it. This isn’t so much about the movie belonging to a specific genre than it is about music. …
Movie: Youth Without Youth
Tons of praise can be showered upon Coppola for he is a legend of Hollywood, after a decade long wait for his fans and admirers Coppola hits back with “Youth without Youth”. In line with the recent trend of novel-adopted films YWY is based on Mircea Elaide’s novella - …
Music and Lyrics (movie )
I’m a fan of both Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, so I had some interest in seeing them together in Music and Lyrics. But, I didn’t know I’d enjoy the movie so much. Grant plays Alex, a has been pop star and Barrymore is Sophie, an aspiring …
John Q: Movie
John Q has been a favourite of mine for years; it is a great demonstration of how you can combine family drama and a little bit of action thrown in too.
I think the plot is brilliant and, before things kick off, gives you a very emotional opinion of the …
Salem’s Lot (2004, TNT)
Rob Lowe stars in this 2004 adaptation of Stephen King’s hit novel of the same name, Salem’s Lot. I was apprehensive about this movie, since so many remakes fall short of the original (understatement). In any event, the story unfolds the way it does in …
Fargo (1996) Movie
Based on the synopsis of this film by Joel and Ethan Cohen, I would not have bothered with Fargo, but a friend whose opinion I trusted recommended I watch it and it is now one of my favorites. Set in wintry Minnesota, William H. Macy plays a dodgy …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 8
RomeoXJuliet Episode 8 begins with Juliet giving Romeo the handkerchief she gave him and runs away. She decides to take up her Father’s legacy and Romeo learns from Benvolio of the plot to kill Benvolio’s family after they were stripped of their nobility. Meanwhile, Tybalt tests Juliet’s resolve.
This …
The Ice Harvest
“The Ice Harvest” is a black comedy with the actor, John Cusack in top form. What I found interesting about this movie is that it is based during the Christmas season but there is not a lot of Christmas spirit, unless one is referring to alcohol.
The story of this …
Clash of the Titans (1981) Movie
Clash of the Titans (1981) tells the story of the Greek hero Perseus, played by Harry Hamlin, who is the son of Zues, played by Laurence Olivier. He falls in love Andromeda, played by Judi Bowker. Perseus sets out on a quest to win Andromeda and …
Django Unchained movie
Love him or loathe him, Quentin Tarantino remains a Hollywood institution. One of only a handful of directors who can command a bigger box office clout than most stars. Not that QT is adverse to casting big named talent in his movies. On the contrary, Brad Pitt and more …
Husbands and Wives (1992) Woody Allen Movie
I would give Woody Allen’s ‘Husbands and Wives’ ten out of ten for being completely perfect, but you will hate it if you have to have a Hollywood ending. This is kind of awkward viewing. It has a rather serious, dramatic feel to it and the humour …
Movie Awake
I loved this movie, it kept me very interested throughout the whole movie. It is about a man who goes under surgery and is supposed to be asleep but he isn’t all the way asleep, he can feel what the doctors are doing and hear them talking. The movie …
The Karate Kid 2010
I had watched the original Karate Kid movies a few tens of times over my life and I really loved them. It was hard for me going to watch the new Karate Kid movie (The Karate Kid 2010), mainly because I was expecting a re-run of the original movie …
The Proposal movie
I believe that Sandra Bullock’s ‘The Proposal’ is going to be a hit movie just like one of her famous movies ‘While you were sleeping’. The great thing about ‘The Proposal’ is that it is an easy going romantic movie which everyone will love. On a personal note, …
Things We Lost in the Fire
The first time I was aware of the movie “Things We Lost in the FIre” was I think in the year 2008 when it finally premiered on a cable television movie channel. I found myself having the urge to watch the movie since it had an independent movie feel …
