I hesitated to watch the film “Bee Movie” since I thought that it would be just a silly little children’s animated film. However, after seeing it going on over and over on cable television I decided to just watch it and evn though it was not a masterpiece, I …
The Dark Knight
Even before it was shown, so much hype has revolved around The Dark Knight, the 2008 sequel to the critically-acclaimed Batman Begins. I’ve waited for this movie for a long time not just because I want to see the last full-length movie of Heath Ledger, but mainly because I’m …
Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok)
In the movie, Murderer (starring Aaron Kwok) this talented actor has certainly looked more mature over the years. And he does look more mature than he already is in this movie with his mustache and all. Acting as a police, he has to crack a case that he …
Revolver
“Revolver” is another dramatic movie where the director, Guy Ritchie team up again with the actor, Jason Statham. This is the third movie project they were involved together, although one must always mention that it wasn’t the most successful one. “Revolver” received heavy criticism from the press and it …
Cloverfield Movie
Cloverfield, Cloverfield, Cloverfield. Never before have I heard so many people talk about a movie, especially one that was still months away from being released. Starting several months before the movie ever came out, the strange and not very descriptive trailers hit the web and people immediately began talking. …

Shyam Benegal is one of the greatest Directors that Indian Cinema has ever had. His films are artistic and are concerned with social issues. He has made many landmark movies like Nishant, Mandi, Hari Bhari, Kalyug, Suraj ka Satva Ghoda, and many other classic. H has been tagged as …

Insidious (movie)
“Insidious” is one of those movies that I’ve found myself beginning several times, but never actually settling down to watch it. Most of the times I shied away from it because of the bad reviews quite a few viewers had given it, calling it a waste of time and …
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (movie)
I’m one of those people who is a big fan of independent films, but for some reason when I saw a trailer of this movie a few months ago I wasn’t very interested in it. The fact that Emma Watson and Logan Leerman played two of the main characters …
Enemy At The Gates
No introduction to actors Ed Harris and Jude Law are ever required. Enemy At The Gates, in my opinion, is often an overlooked masterpiece. Based on real life events during World War II, the movie centers around the battle for Stalingrad between the Germans and Russians. Master sniper …
Twilight Drive-In Theatre Langley, BC
One of the biggest signs of spring in the Vancouver area of BC is the opening of one of the few remaining drive-in theatres in the province, the Twilight Drive-In in Langley. I have gone to movies there when I was a teen-ager, many years ago now, but as …
The Day the Earth Stopped movie
OK, I don’t know a whole lot about copyright laws but how can a company produce a film that looks a heck of a lot like a popular movie and avoid a lawsuit simply by changing a few things, including the title.
This movie was nothing more than a rip …

DVD Doctor Who —“ Beneath the Surface
I love classic old Doctor Who stories. I was born in 1974, the year that Tom Baker took over from Jon Pertwee, so have been really keen on finding out about earlier adventures, and these DVD boxed sets are great for that. This one contains 3 stories in total, …

The original release date was October 2, 1998 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Animation/Adventure/Comedy/Family and stars the voices of …
American Beauty
I think American Beauty is a very strong movie with lots of issues involved that are perhaps much closer to home than we can ever imagine. When I first watched this movie on the cinema, I thought that it is something like a Desperate Housewives setting TV drama with …

Death Race movie
Discretion: Alot of violence is in this movie, not only blood (and gore in some cases), do not watch this movie if you are not ok with fist to face action, or even face to concrete/metal action. It’s loud, very loud, depending on what theatre you go to, or if …
Contagion ( 2011 Movie )
How do you fit 3 Oscar Best Actress in a movie? The movie Contagion is the answer to that. It is difficult to find Academy Award Winners in the same movie. Gwyneth Paltrow ( Best Actress for Shakespeare in Love in 1998 ), Marion Cotillard ( La Vie En Rose …
The Aviator (2004)
I watched the movie “The Aviator” a couple years ago when I had either just graduated from high school or was still in high school. I can remember not wanting to watch it at first since I thought that it was probably going to be a little boring and …
Save the last dance movie
I admit at the moment I am watching a bit of old teen movies mixed with the more recent ones. I can’t help but compare “Save the last dance 1″ with the more recent movie “Step Up 1″. I personally enjoyed watching more “Save the last dance” than “Step …
Veggie Tales: The Pirates who don’t do anything
I’ve sat down to watch Veggie Tale movies with my daughter before. But, I’ve only done it to be nice; I’ve rarely enjoyed the experience. However, the movie The Pirates who don’t do Anything, is definitely an exception. I actually liked the movie as much as she did.
Unlike other …
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. …
Bottoms Up
I came across the movie Bottoms Up on one of my movie channels last night and didn’t know what to think of it. I did discover the film was better than I thought it would be but still wasn’t the greatest comedy ever either.
The movie, which stars Paris Hilton …
Rocketeer
I watched the movie Rocketeer some years ago, and I remember it being a pretty good movie. It’s about a guy who flies with a jet pack attached to his body. I think that the special effects and flying scenes in the film were very good, and very well …

I really enjoy watching the Bench Warmers over and over and over again and when I first watched it I thought it was lame but than I started watching it again and again and again and it got funnier every time I watched it. There were so many funny …
Super Mario World - The Wheel Thing
Super Mario World - “The Wheel Thing” is an episode that surpasses the premier episode in action, comedy, animation and music. This one of my favorite episodes of the cartoon series for a couple of reasons. For one, King Koopa and one of his sons, Kooky, actually present themselves …

Twilight is a romantic vampire movie about two young people falling in love and one is a human being and other one is a vampire. The author is Stephanie Meyer who dream about the story and then put it in print over a period of 3 years. The author …
The Butterfly Effect
I didn’t watch the Butterfly Effect when it first came out. It looked somewhat interesting, however the fact that it starred Kelso from That 70’s Show sort of turned me off. I mean, it is Kelso we are talking about, who wants to watch him in a …
White Noise movie
This movie stars Micheal Keaton, and I’m pretty sure that it’s classified as a horror flick, perhaps more accurately “thriller”.
The film focuses around EVP (electronic voice phenomenon). Basically, it’s where one records “white noise” from a television set and/or radio, perhaps asking questions they hope to be answered. …
Titanic (Movie)
I love Titanic. I’ve seen the movie close to 30 times total since it was first released in 1998 and that includes the six times that I saw it in the theater. This is one of the few movies that made me want to learn more about the topic …
Coraline movie
My roommate was under the mistaken impression that this was a Tim Burton film. In actuality, Tim Burton had nothing to do with it, but you can see why he would be under that impression.
The movie is based off of a novel by Neil Gaiman, of “Sandman” fame. …
True Story - Mystery Thriller Film (2015)

Rosemary’s Baby
Rosemary’s Baby is a very good scary movie. It’s an older movie that was made in 1969 but it is still a very good movie. In fact I think it is a lot scarier than a lot of the newer movies out these days. I think that this film really …
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
I really enjoyed watching the film 30 Days of Night and was excited when I heard that a sequel would soon be coming to the big screen. To what potential readers may find dismaying, I have to say that that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was unimpressive.
I did …

Zhang Yimou’s 1991 film “Raise the Red Lantern”
I’m as accustomed to Western cinema as the next person; the majority of films I watch are either American or English-language international productions, which means that I’m used to certain styles of storytelling, not to mention cultural codes and stereotypes. Therefore, for me to enjoy a film made outside …

The Quiet (R, 2005)
Here is yet another movie that I’ve been skipping over in my Netflix queue. I thought at first that because the film starred Elisha Cuthbert, that it would be one of those silly little flicks with little substance. Tween thrillers are very rarely that entertaining to …
