During Christmas time, I had decided to buy The Holiday DVD for my friends since I loved this movie; I made all my friends watch it too. I really like the movie as it gives sense of feeling that not all is lost if you break up with the …

“Every day will be hard, but you can do it. PS, I love you.”
Is one of the many heartfelt quotes in the Time Warner’s latest love film “PS, I Love You”. It was amazingly directed by Richard LaGravenese. The moral of the story is that love is lost, and …

I remember hearing about the movie “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” a long time when it was just a rumour, and I was very excited to see how it would be translated to screen. However, I lost interest in seeing it when I found out that Ben Affleck was …

Jaws is probably one of the scariest movies ever made. And Jaws is also the reason I’m scared to go in the water when I’m at the beach. This movie can really scare people and really make you feel uncomfortable. I really did enjoy the music in jaws. The …

Even though I think the story here is interesting and that both Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford are great as the two …

Maybe I have no sense of humor, but I just did not find this movie funny. My fiance, however, was laughing all the way through. But that’s what I adore about him; he finds the humor in everything. Me, I guess I just don’t. I couldn’t believe the stars …

Another good good good!
Another topnotch of Ghibli stuff. This is is one of the romance movie I have seen without cliche and it tackles so much about life in a very simple way. Though its an old movie it definitely deserves a second look.
Hayao Miyazaki is one of …

I don’t hear much about this movie, so I assume it didn’t get much attention when it was released and not many people know about it. In fact, I can remember when I first saw it being aired on a cable television movie channel, I wondered how come I …

This sequel starts of with the telling of the Scorpion King and how he came to power, the struggle that he had to endure before becoming the Scorpion King, the deal he made and the price that he paid all in the name of the Scorpion King Title. His …

I first had a snippet view of Breathless when it was aired in TV monde. I was rather clueless of what the film was about but admittedly I was drawn to the whimsical quality of the video. Even in stark black and white, Jean Seberg was a …

“Desperado” was one of those films which I had put off seeing for a very long time. Even though I did not know what it was about, I somehow felt that it might resemble too much of one of those Stephen Segal flicks I hated watching. I also was …

When I first saw the movie Coraline advertise to be released in theatres I knew I wanted to see it, especially when I found out that it was directed by a director whose work I had adored ever since I was a little girl, Tim Burton. The trailer seemed …

Last evening I watched “The Dark Knight”. I had of course heard all of the hype regarding the movie.
Christian Bale was an interesting choice for this part. He did a better job as Batman than I thought he would. But I actually thought Michael Keaton made a …

I am a fan of Robin Wright-Penn and wish that she would appear in more films. When I saw this film on Netflix, I was immediately intrigued. I didn’t know what the movie was about, only that she played a woman with a grudge who befriends …

Over the decades, there have been a total of six men who played this role on film. Honestly, I liked each actor in different ways.
They all have distinct portrayal of “Mr. Bond” with respect to their screen personality. But good thing, despite their individuality, they …

The movie “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a complicated film. The setting is the first feature I noticed and loved-Spain is a gorgeous back drop for this romantic comedy. I hesitate to call it ‘romantic comedy’ because it certainly isn’t the set pattern of today’s romantic comedy, which gets predictable …

“Breaking and Entering” is a 2006 Miramax film. Miramax is one of the my favorite production companies. I almost always find that I enjoy Miramax movies. When I watch the movie on DVD I almost always find a movie or two I want to watch from the previews section …

I am reviewing the 2010 movie, A Beginners Guide to Endings, starring well known actors Scott Caan and Paulo Costanza. The movie is a comedy/drama and shows how people react in tight spots. Everything starts with an old man commiting suicide. He is ashamed of what he has done …

The Simpsons Movie is the best movie of the summer so far. It is full of hilarious scenes that will keep you laughing to the very end. As usual, Homer is an idiot, and Bart is a bad influence for children. Over all the antics in …

When I rented the movie Over Her Dead Body, I thought I would get a cute romantic comedy. I did. But, I also got a movie that was actually a bit dull.
While Eva Longoria Parker does a great job in the starring role of a fiancée who is killed …

This is one timely movie. Global warming is an issue that everybody should be familiar with and something that our world leaders should address. I saw the movie mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal who I think is one talented and good-looking actor. But I was surprised that I actually …

A young woman in search of herself travels to Las Vegas and after seeing the glamorous life of a Las Vegas showgirl, she sets her sights on becoming one herself. What she did not take into consideration is that the road to showgirl stardom is no easy task and …

I bought this movie a while back and I am glad I did. It was really good. It’s kind of long but it’s good. There is some action in the movie but the whole movie isn’t full of action. All of the actors do an amazing job in the …

A lot of people love the 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo. I’m one of them. Nemo is a stirring story of the love between a father and a son, a relationship that seems to be missing in a lot of movies and television shows. The real …

I think this first movie …

I am reviewing the movie, Gridiron Gang, staring Dwane Johnson “The Rock.” This movie is about a probation’s officer who is willing to go up against all odds in order to save lives. It seems that each time a kid rolls in, faces time, and rolls out, …

You will probably recognize her as Juno’s hyper teenage BFF. But Olivia Thirlby proves otherwise in this 2006 thriller called “The Secret.” The DVD cover art may throw you off. You may think that this is some seedy Lolita movie in which the teen wraps …

I love the Pixar movie Cars, as does my almost three year old daughter. Cars is my second favorite movie in the Pixar lineup, behind only the Incredibles. I’m still trying to figure out where to put Wall-E in the list.
What’s there not to love about Cars? …

When I first watched the previews for Happy Feet, I was apalled and vowed never to watch the movie. Aside from a recent lack of creativity as far as CG movies are concerned, the concept of the movie seemed inexplicably bland. Indeed, the type of idea that someone comes …

Junebug is the kind of film that I really wanted to like. Centering around the son from a middle class family and his wife, this story unfolds easily and doesn’t really require much thought. I was actually disappointed with how dull this movie was. …

Blood Sport is a classic fighting movie. It’s a great 80s movie with a lots of heart in it. I think Jean Claude Van Damme did a great job of acting in the movie. His fighting style and moves were very good. He has a lot of heart and energy …

I sat down to watch Tropic Thunder last night with my wife with a high expectation. this was mainly due to the cast, the sheer number of big names in the movie guarenteed a high audience. Everyones favourite comedians were there and i wasnt disapointed.

Elisha Cuthbert, Daniel Gillies
MA 15+ Strong violence, blood and gore.
I should have known that this film was going to turn my stomach. I’m not the blood and gore kind of girl but I am a Roland Joffe (director of the Killing Fields) fan.
First let me say that the rating …

I recently went to the theaters to see the new Transformers movie: Dark of the Moon. I remember when I saw the first movie. I did not know if it would be cheesy and fall short in terms of story, because it seems like that could be an easy …
