Man on Wire movie
There is just no words to sum up how I feel upon watching Man on Wire. It is such a gripping documentary type of movie that tells about this man by the name of Phillippe Petit whom literally walks on wire. He walks between the Two Towers (the …
The Watchmen (2009, Zack Snyder) film
You probably know the tag-line “Who is watching the watchmen?” and should add yourself to the list of people doing just that.
I’m a confessed sci-fi/fantasy geek, pretty up there in the scale but short of Klingon-speaking-Con-attending-Trekkie status. So I knew I would like this film. Even if you’re not …
Get Smart
In “Get Smart” we get to see the unlikely couple Steve Carell and Anne Hathway team up to beat the enemy. What is so great about this movie is that you find it very difficult to imagine these two persons as a couple due to …
Megafault movie
In honor of the late Brittany Murphy, my wife and I took the time to watch some of her movies that were available through Netflix Instant Watch; mostly because I didn’t want to bother sending for DVDs and waiting for them through the mail.
One of these movies was entitled …

Walkabout movie

Eventually they encounter …
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla had the potential to be an exciting and incredible Godzilla movie in my eyes, but something truly ruined it: the overuse of beam and energy weapons. Godzilla spends a good portion of this movie shooting stuff with his radioactive beam. MechaGodzilla spends a good portion of …
The Music Man
Who can forget the wonderful song, 76 Trombones? Not me, and that’s why The Music Man is so memorable. I do love this movie, although I’m not all that hooked on the chemistry of Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. Both are great in their roles, and …

Shutter Island movie
This movie totally lived up to all the hype I heard about it. I personally am not a big Leonardo Decaprio fan and it was almost the reason I didn’t watch this movie. However I heard so many good things about it that I just had to suck …
Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement
There will many who brand Alex Jones, the Austin based documentary filmmaker, radio and tv host as a conspiracy nut. Heck, I would have done so not too terribly long ago. However, after seeing many of his films I have begun to see that there is a …
Tron Legacy, Movie
For the sake of candidness I ought to state that I am a big fan of Daft Punk and the original Tron Movie. It is therefore with some bias that I entered the cinema to see Tron Legacy, which announces the arrival of Joseph Kosinski as a new director.
From …
District 9 movie
Sci-fi movies for me are so formulaic. I watch one sci-fi movie, I can say that I have watched almost 90% of all the sci-fi flicks that were released in the past years because of it. Sci-fi movies with aliens are more predictable and repetitive. Aliens terrorize the human …
Insidious (movie)
“Insidious” is one of those movies that I’ve found myself beginning several times, but never actually settling down to watch it. Most of the times I shied away from it because of the bad reviews quite a few viewers had given it, calling it a waste of time and …

Notorious (Movie)
There are four reasons I love Notorious. First, because it’s an Alfred Hitchcock film. I think he was the best classic movie director. The next three reasons are the stars of the movie, Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains. Rains was the supporting actor, …
Anastasia 1997 BluRay Movie

Dominique movie
In 1978, there was a movie produced called Dominique. Unlike the bouncing tune made famous in The Singing Nun, this Dominique is deadly serious. In fact, it’s essentially a murder mystery.
Everything in this piece is very slow and deliberate. As a viewer, it’s easy to draw …
The Charles Dickens Collection (BBC Video)
I have bought this recently released boxed set of DVD’s on Amazon.com for $42, which I think is quite a bargain for 6 great movies. I am a huge Dickens fan, I’ve been hunting for different movie versions of his different stories for years, so this 2005 BBC release …

All the President’s Men 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.

Elvira’s Haunted Hills
When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, one of the people I would sneak out of bed late at night to watch was Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Edwards). The so-called ‘horror’ films she showed were usually terrible. But, she made things entertaining.
I knew she …
Labor Day (2013 Film)

My Big Fat Greek Wedding
This movie is a good movie but it just didn’t have something. I think that’s what they call ‘B’ movies. But those ‘B’ movies sure are fun to watch ! I love how this kind of wedding is depicted; all of the family, the traditions, etc. I love how …
