Se7en (1995 Classic Thriller Film)
When everyone else is busy watching the seemingly endless mediocre movies put out by today’s filmmakers who happens to only entertain, I’m here digging up classics which I thought would be medicine to my ever needing needs for great films.
It’s been my tradition to watch classic films now and then. …
Top Secret! movie
An american rock star is having a performance in Germany. What he doesn’t know is that the performance is really a cover-up for a political meeting.
This film features Val Kilmer in one of his early roles, strangely enough in a comedy as it is. The tone is that of …
Dark Knight Rises movie
And so it ends, the “greatest superhero trilogy of all time”(TM). In 2005, Nolan introduced us to his very tormented take on Batman, the focus being on Bruce Wayne and - the trilogy’s overarching theme - fear. Then, in 2008, he upped the stakes with the epic Dark Knight, …
Man On Fire-Denzel Washington (2004)
Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself. This compelling store left me in awe. He was definitely a man on a mission that took no prisoners. I had never imagined him in such a role as this before. I had always seen him in such light hearted roles. The …
White House Down (2013 Film)
White House Down is a 2013 movie that I decided to watch after my sister recommended it to me. I remember seeing the film previews during the evening time on TV, but in the back of my mind I was thinking that it just another president doom’s day movie …
“Dawn of the Dead” (2004) Film
Though it still rates as a “B movie,” Zack Snyder’s 2004 remake of the 1978 Romero cult classic still rates as a smart, mostly consistent, and occasionally humorous film. I wouldn’t finger the movie as being a turning point in the zombie genre, but it’s certainly a high point, …
The Rum Diary (2011 film)
This turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. As a fan of Hunter S. Thompson, upon whose 1961 novel this film is based, and the movie’s lead, Johnny Depp, I was expecting something far zanier and more entertaining (the obvious touchstone being 1998’s “Fear and Loathing in Las …
Vantage Point
I’m a big fan of political thrillers; as long as they are fast paced and make you think while entertaining you.
The movie Vantage Point has some of the makings of a great movie but takes things a bit too far in terms of trying to do too much.
The plot …
The Dilemma (Movie)
The Dilemma is newly out of cinemas (Depends where you live) here in South Africa. The trailer was very ammusing, and i thought the movie would be hilarious.
I rented the movie on Box Office (Exclusive to Dstv, a south african TV company) for a fairly cheap price. I eagerly …
Barbarian Queen, fantasy film
Most barbarian movies are pretty sweet. No matter how much you tease them or find out every flaw, these movies grab your attention and they never let go until the last person in the credits gets their due. Barbarian Queen does just that and it does something else that …
Fracture (2007)
This movie is for the advent court room fanatic…if you like law and the suspense behind the court scenes, then this movie is right up your alley. Theodore ‘Ted’ Crawford (Sir Anthony Hopkins) catches his wife cheating with a local detective. Staging an elaborate murder scene, he shoots his …
A ma Soeur (drama movie)
As someone who has some interest in film, I always find it especially fascinating to read up on the accomplishments of female movie directors. I found the movie “A ma Soeur” as it is named in French by doing research on the French director Catherine Breillat. Between being curious about …

Hills Have Eyes, The (2006)
The Hills Have Eyes takes place in the middle of the desert in the Western United States. It stars Aaron Stanford and is a very exciting film.
The story behind the Hills Have Eyes is very interesting. Back when nuclear bombs were being tested in the deserts of the United …
Final Destination 3
Final Destination 3 is one crazy movie. It seems so real and really makes you think about things you do in everyday life. This movie is the sequel to the 1 and 2nd final destination. All three movies are about someone having a vision before a major crash …
The Last Kiss (2006)
I always love the movie about temptation and choice and that’s the reason why I directly decided to watch this movie after watching its trailer.
This movie is about Michael, a lucky guy with a perfect life : Good Friends, Great Career, and beautiful girlfriend, just exactly what he dreamed …
Bewitched (2005 movie)
The single most dullest movie i’ve seen this year…It’s a complete flop. Some TV series are better off not being made into movies, and the cast was all wrong, so, so wrong. Not only is this film a bore but it’s also annoying (what’s with the blondes jumping up …
Blue Butterfly movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Blue Butterfly. This movie is about a terminal little boy who wants to go to the rainforest to catch the blue butterfly. His idol is a broken, emotionally drained, insect man who takes a trip into the forest every year. Pete is …
Mr. Destiny (1990)
I am always saying “Be careful what you wish for, as fate it seems, is not without a sense of humor” and to this day I continue to prove that very same thing. Nothing that you wish for even comes to be exactly the way you wish it; instead, …
Happy Feet ( childrens movie )

This is a very cute and funny animated movie about Emperor Penguins, who are born to sing . The actors in Happy feet are : Robin Willams, Hugh …

Barracuda by Philippe Haim
French cinema has always been boring to me. However, I cannot say so for Barracuda. This French thriller is absolutely disturbing and I do not recommend it for sensitive souls. The beginning is calm but then it is followed by a merciless duel between the two main characters.
Mr Clement …
BROTHERS GRIMM DVD
If you’ve ever read a fairy tale, you’ve most certainly read or heard the tales of the brothers Grimm! This is a wonderful movie to see! It is exciting and funny and sad……….lots and lots of drama, here!
The tale starts with the younger Grimm brother having sold the family …
Funny People (2009) movie
I’m a huge fan of Judd Apatow films but I have to say this one missed the mark for me. It has a strong cast of comedy but the plot just never seemed to come together for me and it just seemed some what thrown together.
The main character Ida …

Royal Wedding movie
Royal Wedding is one of the classic musicals from 1951 which is actually now in the public domain, which is why it’s often included in DVD compilations. That’s how I watched it recently, in fact. I’m sure I probably saw this as a child because I adore …
Chorlette’s web
I watched the movie Chorlette’s web recently and I didn’t really like the movie at all. The movie which has Dakota Fanning in the lead role is just a mindless movie and it definitely doesn’t have any story at all. Dakota saves a piglet and she keeps it with …
Wait Until Dark: A Film by Terence Young, 1967
For most of Audrey Hepburn’s onscreen career, romantic films helped to greatly define her image as a beguiling female lead. It is why I feel a strong interest in seeing her other exclusive portrayals outside that “frivolous bubble,” yet all the while entertaining, of girl-falls-in-love flicks; I want …
The Bourne Legacy movie
My husband and I finally watched “The Bourne Legacy” last night. I was so excited to watch this movie, as I am huge fan of the other “Bourne” movies. I am also a fan of Jeremy Renner and Edward Norton, so I had high hopes as we sat …

Raising Waylon movie
I saw Raising Waylon for the first time recently and was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. I say that because I’m not really a fan of the movie’s stars, Tom Gibson and Poppy Montgomery, and because it’s pretty predictable from start to finish. …
Movie Push
I recently watched the movie Push, since I am a fan of Chris Evans, so I decided to give the movie a shot since the trailer was a bit impressive. Although a lot of critics said it wasn’t a good movie, I had to see it for myself to …

Cold Storage movie 2006

The Wicker Man (Original)
I watched the original Wicker Man and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I’m not a fan of horror and although this was labelled as a horror film it really wasn’t. The ending was quite horrorific but the rest of the film was not. …
21st Century Breakdown
After 5 years of waiting and waiting for their green day to come out with an new album, i have to say the album was defiantly worth the wait, but nothing more. The album is of course amount my favorites, however it does not surpass dookie as my all …
Movie The Aviator
The Aviator is an extremely long movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio. In the film he portrays Howard Hughes, and although I normally do not like super long movies, this one is kinda good. I will state a fact, Leonardo Dicarprio can not consider me a fan of his work. I don’t …
“To Kill a Mockingbird” (1962)
“To Kill a Mockingbird” is an excellent movie based on the Pulitzer Prizewinning novel by Harper Lee. Screenplay is by Horton Foote. Like all good movies it can be viewed on various levels, but I tend to think of it as a childhood memoir. The movie is told from …
Film Beetlejuice
Few films are as wildly inventive as Tim Burton’s manic masterpiece Beetlejuice.
Telling the tale of Adam and Barbara (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis), living in a small town and unable to have children, who are exiled after an unexpected death to live in their beautiful country home. It wouldn’t …
