The movie War starring Jason Statham and Jet Li is an action packed thriller that is very intense. I just watched this movie recently and found it to be very worthwild. There are so many twists and turns that it will keep you on the edge of your seat. …

Last night, I watched Paint Your Wagon on the TCM network. I’ve seen the movie numerous times since it’s release, probably well over a hundred viewings. I recall that when the musical was released, I actually saw it in the theater a good thirty times. It’s …

The animated feature film Happy Feet features an all-star cast of voice talent. Unfortunately this talent is wasted plot that meanders through a worthwhile environmental message but never really comes together. It really seems as if the studio decided that environmentalism was the current hot issue, pardon the pun, …

Filmgoers today associate “Zorro” with Antonio Banderas but, as wonderful as Banderas is in the title role of the more updated version of this film, he can’t hold a candle to the original “Mark of Zorro” star Tyrone Power, who is just magnificent in this movie.
Power was at the …

I normally like Disney’s animated films. That’s why, when I saw their movie “The Wild” this past weekend, I was extremely disappointed.
Overall, the movie wasn’t bad. But, the plot did seem to be a bit re-hashed. It was almost like Disney combined elements of the movies Lion King and …

I am reviewing the movie, The Odd Couple 2, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. There are two movies in this series, and this is the second one. The first one is, naturally, called The Odd Couple, and it features a very young looking Walter Matthau and …

“1408″ (2007)”1408″ is a 2007 movie filmed in color. It is in English and lasts just over 100 minutes. The movie is taken from a short story by Stephen King. Unlike some of his short stories that lend themselves to thoughtful, rich stories, such as “The Shawshank Redemption,” “Heats …

I saw this movie when it was in the theaters with my best friend. Almost everyone in the theaters seemed to enjoy it, we laughed and laughed. Overall it was a funny movie and entertaining for the most part. I watched it again when it came out with my …

Here is another one of Mr. M. Night Shyamalan’s movies. Before I went to see it I was told that it was a horror movie, but of course I know better as I have been told that most of his movies are horror movies but they are usually …

I always thought that movies based on books are rarely better than the book itself. It is indeed difficult to put in live screen what words have described. For me, the best books that could be made into a movie are the fantasy movies because the imagination is always …

In this vampire comedy Mel Brooks tells his version of the story of Count Dracula. If you are familiar with the story, you will recognize some names: Mina, her fiancé Jonathan, Dr. Seward, crazy Renfield, and of course Abraham Van Helsing who is played by Mel Brooks himself. I …

Only Laurel and Hardy could take a premise like delivering a piano to someone’s home and turn it into a forty-five minute film. It would take stars of their comedic stature to pull it off, and they do it nicely. Stan and Ollie are deliverymen. They are hired by …

“Artemisia” is the 1997 Miramax biopic of Artemisia Gentileschi, a seventeenth century Italian woman painter when women were not and were not allowed to be artists. Artemisia is played by Italian actor Valentina Cervi who was unknown to me before watching the movie. She plays a young, intense woman …

Supreme Sanction with Kristy Swanson, Michael Madsen, Ron Perlman, and Donald Faison.
This is one horrible movie. I’m sorry but Kristy Swanson cannot follow up her Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie to carry her own poorly scripted action movie. Madsen, as a villain, is too …

I think this animated film is perhaps one of the never-ending type of movies that I will definitely be catching a lot of times in this year 2008. I think that perhaps 2008 will be a very good year of animations and the likes and in this very funny …

I took the time to watch the Jim Carrey movie Yes Man even though I had some reservations about it. I don’t mind him as an actor but some of his films are a bit too much for me.
However, I will admit the movie was much better than expected.
Carrey …

This is a story about a famous actress Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) and a travel bookshop owner William Thacker (Hugh Grant) who by chance met and fell in love. It seems impossible for them to be together because of their social status, but love found a way.
You would …

This film is definitely a chick flick. And not only that, it’s definitely for high school girls. While it was made quite a few years ago, it’s still funny to think about the two girls and their interesting perspectives on life and what is important in life. Especially for …

Notting Hill tells a rather unlikely yet pleasant love story of Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) a movie star and William Thacker (Hugh Grant), a modest guy who works in a bookstore. I enjoyed this movie. Grand is very likeable as the good-hearted, honest William. Julia Roberts does a good …

Gigli is a good movie to watch for a weekend afternoon. The film starring Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck in the lead roles has all the elements needed for a good movie. It has action, it has romance, it has humour and above all it has some fine emotional …

I was looking forward to seeing the movie “Non-Stop” since February when it was in theatres since it had Liam Neeson, one of my favourite actors as a main character in it, and because the trailer that I had seen for it made the movie look interesting. I ended …

Happy feet is an enjoyable animation movie for me. I love so much how the story was made. It teaches me that even if you are different from others you too can find your own capabilities in your won unique way. I like the story so much because it …

I watched this movie a little while ago. It was a pretty good movie overall. I liked it for the most part. I thought that it was very interesting and entertaining throughout the movie. It had my attention throughout the movie, I never got bored of watching it. It …

Based on a Dean Koontz novel, Hideaway weaves the supernatural tale of what happens to one ordinary man when he returns to life after many minutes spent on the other side. It also shows the horrific repercusions of such a trip.
Hatch (Jeff Goldblum) is a nice guy, with a …

When my roommate rented this, I was expecting another Eragon, an unoriginal fantasy that rehashes the same elements that we’ve seen before. The fact that this movie was brought to us by the same studio that gave us “Good Burger” did nothing to squelch my fear that we …

After seeing a preview of the new film Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, I quickly assumed this was a ‘wait for dvd’ movie. Thanks to a lack of good movies in February, I decided to take a chance on this film. To my surprise this film was actually …

I need to start off by saying that I never saw the original Nightmare on Elm Street, so I have nothing to compare the 2010 remake to. I can’t say which version is better. I approached the Night on Elm Street remake as I would any …

Will Ferrell is a very funny actor who I have seen in many movies and really enjoyed watching. One movie he stars in in-particular is the holiday movie “Elf” which came out in 2003. In this film, he plays a human named Buddy who was raised by elves and …

The Sixth Sense is the story of Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruse Willis), a child psychologist that is now haunted by the sudden reappearance and suicide of a former patient who blames …

The 1986 film “Troll” is in one word, eerie. Now, being used to the creepy and spooky bump in the night films of the modern day, movie lovers may wonder what a 1986 movie may hold in the eerie department compared to a movie of today. But it’s the …

Imagine… Back before engines or high speed communication, where battle is done with metal blades and crude and cruel superstitions serve as the voice of both law and medical science, you give a decade of your life traveling far from home to fight the enemies of your religion. After so …

Sherlock Holmes stories have always been popular in the movie world, but I must say, that I really did not expect a movie like that to be made. I would have never thought of make a Sherlock Holmes movie as an action movie. The movie does not support the …

Their friends and family add primarily negative angst to their lives. Agnes’ sister Claire (played by Kate Reid) …

The 40 Year Old Virgin, in my opinion, is one of the better Apatow related movies. Movies from the Apatow crowd include Anchorman, Superbad, Knocked Up, etc. Back to 40 year Old Virgin, I haven’t laughed this hard during a movie in a long time. Most …

This movie was a bit more brutal than I imagined it would be. I am a huge fan of horror movies, the gorier the better. And I even like films that depict some of the rather disturbing crimes occurring in recent years. However, this …

I’m glad I saw the newer Punisher, with John Travolta as the villain, before I saw the original Punisher, starring Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle. It started out with promise, with Castle already presumed dead, and Punisher on his vigilante jaunt for five years now. Then it quickly …

The cover of this DVD would have one believe that the little boy depicted is somehow possessed with some kind of evil. You might even think there is some supernatural twist to the plot. But if you thought either of these things, you would probably be wrong. …

I don’t know if the whole Jennifer Lopez thing is all played out. But seeing her in another “Getting Married” movie is just not cutting it for me anymore. This movie is another don’t watch film starring J-Lo. If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. This film is …

Men of Honor was based on a true story according to the credits at the end. It deals with a man in the Navy that is discriminated against based on his color in part because he wants to be a diver. At one point our country was almost divided …

I was at a friend’s house recently and saw the movie Jezebel on the Turner Classic Movie channel, a channel I don’t get, but would love to.
The movie was filmed in black & white and released in 1938, a year before “Gone with the Wind” which is a similar …

This is truly a good movie for the whole family. It has quite a few animals in it and it is overall a good movie. The acting in it is good and the story is good. Overall I really liked this movie. I enjoy watching this with my sister …

Everything was right about this film. From the acting to the inspiring music, the special effects of its day, to the era it was filmed in. All the components of filmmaking came together in a synchronized collaboration that perfectly made us believe that a man could fly. Nothing before …

The best way to eve try and explain this movie is to compare it with Tarzan and then give it an over all switch in the level of deepness in the character, toss in a heap of comedy and you have yourself a movie that has been remade into …

The Pianist is a true spectacular, bona fide and triumphantly made movie which was based on the true-life story of a brilliant pianist and composer, Wladyslaw Spzilman, which was portrayed perfectly by Oscar winner, Adrian Brody.
I fell inlove with the movie the instant its first short part of black …

British funny guys Nick Frost and Simon Pegg wrote the screenplay for Paul. This is not their first ensemble —“ another memorable movie with the two of them was Shaun of the Dead amongst others that I am leaving out. As always, the British humor never fails …

When I went to see this movie I was excited, it looked interesting and I thought it would be funny, something happy for the long and often depressing holidays. The movie kept me interested, but just barely, I should have just stopped watching it right away, but I kept …
