Alien 1979 Movie
I’m not a fan of horror films. I get scared far too easily. So, when I was a child, I liked scary movies even less. Movies likes Jaws, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elms Street were at the top of my list of movies that flipped me out. …
The Movie Avatar by James Cameron
I am a huge movie fan and I can say without a doubt that James Cameron’s Avatar will go down in history as one of the best movies ever made. Not since I have seen Star Wars over two decades ago have I felt such excitement about a movie. …
Happy Feet
Well here is a movie that will fill your hearts with a so much joy that you will feel like tap dancing all the way home :). This movie certainly is one of the cutest movies of its times.
This is a story of a penguin (voice given by Elijah …
Vampires: The Turning movie
There is a good reason behind why I find it hard to like many of John Carpenter’s movies. I find that most of them are mediocre with inferior acting, terrible makeup, a silly plot, and even sillier script and so on. Thus, like many of John Carpenter’s movies, “Vampires: …
Snowpiercer (science fiction movie)
On reading some of the reviews for the 2013 movie Snowpiercer, it was easy for me to assume that the movie would not have been any good since it was heavily criticised by a lot of people. However, after watching it for myself I strongly agree that while it did …
Evil movie
A swedish film from the self-biographical novel by Jan Guillou. It is the story of a young rebellious man who goes to a college. There he learns that the older students from the “finer families” are the bosses and that the younger students have to obey their rules to …
Get Smart(2008)
This is a movie starring Steve Carell as Agent 86, Ann Hathaway as Agent 99, and Dwayne Johnson as Agent 23, it also has Masi Oka from HEROES!! I used to watch the television show when I was a little girl but have forgotten a lot about it. …
Center Stage Movie
I had watched this movie for the first time and my first thought was like, where did these people come from? The next thought that followed was that, why aren’t they famous, they should be! Upon watching Center Stage, this is the perfect movie for ballerinas, may the be …
Time Changer
Wow, what can you say about this little “masterpiece” of Christian cinema? The premise is pretty simple: a man from the 19th century travels through time to the beginning of the 21st century and is amazed by how immoral and corrupt and violent the world is. His …
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
I finally got a chance to watch the second part of the Resident Evil series; Apocalypse. And, overall, I think I liked the movie; though I did feel a few of the things were a bit unrealistic.
This movie takes place shortly after the first one and puts together a …
Open Road movie
I am quite shocked that I never heard of a movie that has Justin Timberlake in it; somehow, the movie Open Road appeared in the movie rental store without me having ever heard of it. I follow Justin Timberlake’s music and acting career, mainly because I think he will …
Slither movie not worth watching
When I saw the previews for Slither on TV, I thought it was going to be a good horror movie. After all, you can’t go wrong with slimy slugs that take over people’s bodies and turn them into zombies.
Unfortunately, the makers of the movie missed big-time and turned what …
Letter of Introduction movie
From 1938, Letter of Introduction turned out to be better than I thought it was going to be. The center of the motion picture was the character of Kay Martin, as played by Andrea Leeds. When we first see her, she’s returning to the boarding house she …
House of wax
Yesterday I watched the movie of House of wax. Well, it was really frightening. The main caracters are Elisha Cuthbert, Paris Hilton, Chad Michael Murray, Jared Padalecki, Jon Abrahams. A group of friends on their way to a college football game falls prey to a pair of murderous brothers …
Be Kind Rewind movie
The title and cover looked kind of cheesy to me, and so I guess that I was a little reluctant to watch it. I thought that it was going to have poor acting, bad visual effects, and a lame storyline. And it did, but it was absolutely hilarious.
Jack Black …
Law Abiding Citizen (2009)
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, …

The Butterfly Effect 2 (2006)
Supposedly, this is a sequel to “Butterfly Effect” with Ashton Kutcher; in reality, it is more of an attempt to remake BE-1, for whatever reason. Kutcher isn’t there, in fact there is no connection with the previous story / characters. There are no blackouts, either. A totally different guy …
Going The Distance Movie (2010)
I first thought this was just an ordinary feel-good movie, it features Drew Barrymore and her real-life boyfriend “The Jeepers Creepers Guy” Justin Long; it’s a story about two people meeting and falling in love but Drew here is just actually on a temporary “vacation” as she’s an intern …
My Bloody Valentine (2009)
I got around to finally watching the remake of the 1981 movie “My Bloody Valentine.”
I normally like slasher flicks and, because of the nature of the movie, give them a little more in terms of consideration when it comes to the plot. But, this movie wasn’t very good.
You have …

Movie: A Christmas Carol (2009)
Disney’s A Christmas Carol (2009) is a 3-D animation retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel [Rated PG for scary sequences and images].

Before Sunrise movie
The movie “Before Sunrise” is an excellent example that you don’t need to do a lot of stunts or spend a lot of money to make a great movie. This movie shows that a simple and straight forward story with two great actors and good filming crew can do …
The Grind
The Grind is a work out video. It is fifty minutes long, and it includes a warm up, cardio, then a cool down. I like the grind in a way, as I love to dance, and this video teaches you a new dance routine. But the grinds dance moves …

Blockbuster Video
Although I don’t watch a lot of DVD movies, perhaps 2 a week at the most, I do like to be able to rent the movies I want to see when I want to see them, not weeks later. I generally don’t make it to the movie theatre more …
Knowing movie
I saw the movie —˜Knowing’ last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after —˜Raising Arizona.’ The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …
Sex and the City The Movie
When my husband took me to ‘Sex and the City- The Movie’ I was not very sure whether I would like it or not because I don’t usually prefer any prolongation movie and this was a continuation of the runaway hit from HBO series. But anyway when the movie …

The Lost World: Jurassic Park
Shooting straight of the gate, this movie had very big shoes to fill when everyone expected it to live up to the expectations of the first film. Sadly, this movie fell short of it mark with critics and the public.
Bringing back Jeff Goldblum to play Ian Malcolm was one …
Wreck It Ralph movie
Wreck It Ralph is a fantastic movie, both for kids and for adults. It is very family-friendly, and a great flick for a movie night.
The movie was released on October 29, 2012 in theaters, and is approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes long. I personally enjoyed every minute …

Primeval
There was something missing with this film. I know that it followed lots of formulas about somet kind of big monster lurking in the exotic wilderness of a foreign land. As usual, there is the requisite bunch of diverse “scientists/explorers/writers” (pick one) with the ONE beautiful …
The Hound of the Baskervilles
I am reviewing The Hound of the Baskervilles, a Sherlock Holmes movie produced by Granada in the late 80’s. This movie stars Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, and Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. Holmes is hired by Dr. Mortimer, a man who is concerned for his friend, Sir …

Stigmata film
I first saw the horror movie “Stigmata” a little after I got cable television which would have been in about te year 2001 or 2002. Thus I was still a bit young at the time, and I only saw a part of the movie because I thought it was …

In a nutshell, “The Bachelor” is all about a guy who doesn’t want to commit to marriage, which is a reality these days more than ever! The interesting aspect about this movie is that it is a cute, funny romantic comedy that can be enjoyed both by men and …
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
This was my favorite of the Original Trilogy. If you think of the three earlier films as one complete story, then Empire is the all-important second act. I like this film for several reasons.
First, it expanded on the Star Wars Universe introduced in A New Hope. This meant new …
