Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …

I watched ‘Vicky, Christina, Barcelona’ last night and could certainly see glimmerings of Woody Allen’s philosophical depth and cynicism in the interactions between the three lead roles - Vicky, Christina and Juan.
The locales in Spain are beautifully shot and I like the narrative style of the film. The threesome …

We had some free time last night so my wife and I decided to watch one of the Marilyn Monroe movies we had on our Netflix Player; As Young As You Feel.
I don’t know if I would really classify this as a Marilyn Monroe movie (she only had a …

I have always been a Michael Jackson fan, and as long as I can remember, I loved his music and was in awe of his dancing ability. As with almost everyone I know, his death was a shock, and I wanted to see the new movie about his last …

As much as I love Indie movies I rarely check them out in theaters. I tend to wait for them to be released on DVD in case it turns out to be really bad. I’ve heard of Sunshine Cleaning from friends and when it first came out on DVD …

Duplicity is a movie about two ex-spies, one who used to work for the US government and the other one for the British. Their first encounter with each other ended up leading to them falling into bed with each other even though one was working a job on the …

I absolutely adore movies that take place in the 50’s and 60’s. This movie was made in 1976, but takes place in 1953, so close enough. For some reason, those two decades fascinate me. And the music is so fantastic, I can’t get enough of it! Anyways, onto what …

When I first heard the title for this movie I thought it was going to be all about religion. That couldn’t have been further from the truth. What the movie is actually about is this.
Hope Floats stars one of my favorite actresses Sandra Bullock. She plays …

I’ve been dying to see this movie and its good I did because it was well worth it. Very touching and heartfelt. Also very sad. A definite chick movie all will love!
In the beginning, restaurateur Will Keane, played by Richard Gere, flirts with many women. …

I am not reviewing the terrible 2002 remake of this movie with Nicole Kidman, but the 1975 original, directed by Bryan Forbes. I watched this movie as a kid and found it really sinister and it played on my mind afterwards. Now I have just seen it …

I’ve never been one to be a fan of blood and gore zombie movies. Ever since I was a kid and channel surfed across a midnight showing of Day of the Dead on TV (of which up until that point, I had no clue how icky the human imagination …

One of the first movies I loaded on my Netflix player when I bought it was the film Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. I didn’t think I would like it but it sounded like it would be different and I figured it would eventually be worth a try.
We ended up …

I didn’t know what to expect when I rented The Brothers Bloom DVD; I had heard about this movie a bit, but not enough to get an idea what it would be like. I loved it, and in my opinion, it deserves a lot more hype than it got.
The …

While The Boy in Striped Pajamas is obviously a well-intentioned film, it is considerably unrealistic with a strange and awkward ending. The story is about an eight-year-old child named Bruno (Asa Butterfield) who is the son of a Nazi soldier (David Thewlis) and his unsuspecting wife (Vera Farmiga). …

I loved the book Hound of the Baskervilles when I first read it but never got a chance to see the movie based on the book until this weekend, when it was airing on one of our movie channels.
You know what? The book is a heck of a lot …

I just got done watching the movie Lakeview Terrace and wanted to publish some of my thoughts regarding this movie.
First, Samuel L. Jackson is a heck of an actor. He does a great job in this movie portraying a guy you can’t stand one minute and absolutely can understand …

There are so many ways this movie could be reviewed. The best way, would be to really pin point everything. When you’re landed with a great movie to critic it can be difficult but with enough thought and effort put into it negative aspects can in fact be found, …

So I’m sure many of you have either read the book “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” either in your own time, or to your children. I myself, being only a recent “adult” can quite easily and fondly remember the days of curling up next to mom and …

Thanks to the wonder of the internet, I have discovered via following David Lynch’s news updates on Facebook and Twitter that in between his mind-boggling films which tend to be about 5 years apart, Lynch’s artistic juices continue to flow and he produces sculptures, paintings, promotes music and then …

The Paranormal Activity movie was amazing. I took my girlfriend to see it and we were both freaked out. There were people in the theatre crying and throwing up.
The movie starts off with a couple that move in together and the boyfriend gets a high quality camera …

I bought this movie because Nicolas Cage is one of my favorite actors and because the plot summary at the back of the DVD interested me. However, I was off for a disappointment when I watched it because it was boring, confusing, contains too much profanity and sexual situations. …

I finally got a chance to watch the movie Passengers, which has been sitting rented from Netflix for about two weeks now. It was OK but not great.
Anne Hathaway should not do dramatic movies. She’s always got such a happy look on her face, even when she’s trying to …

I was looking forward to seeing The Proposal when it came out this week on DVD, mainly because I think Sandra Bullock is a comedic genius. She also produced this film, and in my opinion, she has a knack for making non-cheesy, seriously funny comedies that also work as …

Serenity is a great movie but most of the people who have seen it either love it or hate it. Serenity is my favorite movie and was made as a follow up to the series Firefly by Joss Whedon that I love. Firefly was only shown for a few …

The Real Blair Witch is a television documentary that has little to do with the 1999 movie ‘The Blair Witch Project’ other than it involves some film footage that is debatable as to whether it is real or not. In 2002 a group of high school friends in …

The Dead Zone is an old movie from 1983 but I have only just seen it and it was better than I expected. Although I loved reading Stephen King novels when I was younger they unfortunately do not often translate very well into celluloid, but The Dead Zone …

I was curious to watch this movie when my friends started to talk about how shocking this movie was. So I went to search this movie. I found myself watching it right at the same day when I bought the DVD. 1408 tells a story of Mike Enslin (John …

‘Bride Wars’ is the movie where the main stars, Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson dream to marry at the Plaza Hotel. Unfortunately I expected much more from this movie. I feel that the script lacked a certain amount of magic and there weren’t enough funny moments as expected.
In ‘Bride …

Finally released direct to DVD after sitting on the studio shelf for over a year, this is one Halloween movie you dont want to miss. The story takes place in a fictional little town on Halloween night and tells four interconnected but unrelated stories that incorporate almost every popular …

I just watched the new Star Trek film last night and was blown away at how good it really was. I am a Star Trek fan, although not of the hardcore trekkie variety, and I was a bit scepticle at first about the franchise being rebooted with an all …

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, …

I was flipping channels the other day and came across the movie City Slickers. Since it had been a while since I saw that particular film, I decided to watch it.
Overall, it was about as funny as I remember. It wasn’t the most hilarious movie ever made but it …

Moulan Rouge is the kind of movie that people either really love or really hate. It is a musical but contains no original music. Normally I would think this was a weakness, but the theme of the movie is a nightclub that caters to a generation of young people …

I was trying to find something to watch last night while sitting up with our youngest daughter and ended up putting on the movie Arachnophobia.
Big mistake. And, not because it is a horrible film; because it kept me up half the night thinking there were creepy crawlies on me.
I …

Miss March is an underrated movie. It’s a romantic comedy that’s more comedy than romance, or at least very subtle romance. Miss March is about a guy, his best friend and his long term high school girlfriend. The main character is a virgin and has abstain from sex for …

The cars movie is a great movie for the whole family. It teaches a lesson and is very entertaining
The cars movie has very nice graphics. Disney did extremely well while making this movie.
This movie is great for kids, my little brother watches it every morning and loves it every …

I love Only Fools & Horses and I was so glad when a seventh series was broadcast in 1991. As long as John Sullivan can keep writing brilliant comedy I see no reason to say goodbye to the Trotter brothers. ‘The Sky’s The Limit’ is the first …

Although it is, in my opinion, a chick-flick, “My Life in Ruins” is a great, light-hearted movie, and if you enjoyed “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” then you will be sure to enjoy this movie. The writing and acting will not be recognized at the Oscars next year, but …

I have wanted to see the documentary Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing for several years now, but only got around to it last week. I was a fan of the group, but I became a real fan after they were literally blackballed by the right wingers in the …

I did not like this movie. This is the first 3D movie I have seen in years and I regret going to it. This movie is horrible compared to all the others. I had expected more.
The move started out ok. Just like all the others, there’s someone that ends …

It’s been years since I’ve seen Sombrero, and unfortunately, I just found it by accident just before it started so didn’t have time to put on a videotape or I would have. The reason being is that it introduces Rick Jason, who is an actor I always loved …

This movie was…interesting. Imagine a Tim Burton movie on crack, that’s what this is. When they say opera, they mean it as a vast majority of it is sung. This works for the most part, but a few of the early “songs” are basically just dialogue …

This 1986 movie, Blue Velvet, was my first introduction to the fantastic director David Lynch. A friend recommended I get this out on video (yes, it was a long time ago!) and by the end of it I was turned upside down and sitting there in shock and …

Match Point is a 2005 movie from writer and director Woody Allen. I am always more excited about a new Woody Allen film if he is in it because I love to see him delivering his own lines but someone recommended this to me and I must admit …
