Movies Reviews
Netflix
I used Netflix for 2 years. I started the free trial and ended up keeping the service. I loved the convenience of not spending gas to drive to the video store and spending a considerable amount of time picking out a good movie to watch. I especially liked that …

Superbad
When I first saw the previews for Superbad, I was extremely excited and was ready to see one of the funniest movies in recent memories. All of the critics were praising it and when I walked into the theater I was ready to have my mind blown. …
Predator 2
It’s rare that I enjoy a sequel more than I enjoy the original and it is even less common when the original is good, but this is an exception. Predator is a movie all about action. There are some smart points and probably some social commentary though I didn’t …
The Proposal Movie (2009)
This movie features the top most favorite actor and actress in my list, Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, and they are a natural when it came to making this movie and they are just really superb actors and actresses that this movie didn’t even make me feel as …
Clockwork Orange, movie
Clockwork Orange, Stanley Kubrock film, starring Malcom McDowell.
When this came out back in the 1970’s, it caused quite a stir. Some howling conservatives wanted an X-rating, and when it finally did come out, maybe some people didn’t understand it, but knew it was something special. This film has …
The Object of My Affection
I found a certain similarity between the movies “The Object of My Affection” and the movie released in 2000 “The Next Best Thing”. Both of these movies tackle the issue of gay people involved in bringing up children and, unfortunately both of them, are not impressive movies.
What was lacking …

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides movie
Is the newest Pirates Movie worth watching? A resounding yes! I saw it on the opening day. The Movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is the fourth installment of the Pirates Saga.
In my opinion, it was easily the best movie of all four. It had vampire mermaids, …
Awake (R, 2007)

Slap Shot
The best ice hockey movie ever made: Slapshot. Made in 1977, this was not considered a Hollywood blockbuster, but rather a “B” rated movie. The only famous actor in it was Paul Newman.
Back then, professional hockey in North America was ferocious with teams full of goons and fighting. But …
A Lot Like Love movie
Have you ever seen the movie “A Lot like Love” with Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet? I’m guessing it’s been out for a while because I saw it last week on Encore. When I read the preview listed on the channel guide, it didn’t look that appealing, but since …

After Dark Horror Fest: Borderland
Borderland is a bad movie, plain and simple. I can usually find some redeeming qualities in a movie, but this isn’t one of them. I think the real problem is that it was released as one of the films in the After Dark Horror Fest, but it isn’t a …

Total Recall Movie (2012)
Walking into the movie theater, I was a bit nervous. I did not know what to expect and I really hoped that I would like the movie. The original Total Recall has become somewhat of a classic, at least in my circle of family and friends. Doing a remake …

Dragonball Evolution cartoon movie
What are they thinking?! It’s already worse that some of the comic books were made to a movie. But Dragonball? The best cartoon when I was 13. I can’t accept the fact that they made this cartoon a movie. I’ve already seen the preview of the movie. They can’t …
Movie: Witless Protection
I loved the first Larry the Cable Guy movie I saw, the one where he is a health inspector. So, I figured I couldn’t go wrong with the movie Witless Protection.
I was wrong.

In Time Movie (2011)
If only there was enough time- time to work on the concept of the movie that is! While In Time is not built on an original concept, there were still enough interesting ideas that could have made it at least a good sci-fi movie. However, the lack of planning …
Pride & Prejudice movie
I’ve never read the book Pride & Prejudice before, but after seeing the movie this past weekend, I’m going to consider reading it.
The movie itself wasn’t overly impressive. In fact, it was a bit confusing considering the number of characters I was forced to memorize right off the bat. …
Movie Jarhead
I just got finished watching this movie not to long ago. It was really good, my only complain about the movie is that it could have had a better ending to it. It was overall a pretty good movie. It made me laugh a little in some parts, but …
Night of the Living Dead (1990 Remake)
Gore maestro Tom Savani takes over directorial duties in this remake of Romero’s classic zombie movie.
There’s no monumental changes with this new version. It’s shot in colour, the gores a bit more impressive (but surprisingly much more played down considering Savani’s involvement) but there’s some tinkering about with …

I watched “Pirates of the Carribean: At World’d End” which is the third in the Pirates of the Carribean franchise.

This is successful when they go …

I’m not sure what …

I had no idea what this movie was going to be about before I saw it with my friends. I went to see it out of boredom. However, I was not bored long. Avatar is a 3D movie, which may cost a little more to see in theaters, but …
Winter’s Bone movie
Winter’s Bone may depress you from the first footage. You see children happy and unaware of the dirt that surrounds them and in all this time their big sister “streamlines” their potato ratios.
