When we rented the movie Evan Almighty, I didn’t know what to expect. The orginal film, Bruce Almighty, was pretty good but sequels aren’t always as good as the original.
We found that, not only was it a great movie, it had a good message too. In fact, my …

The latest effort from the Stargate SG-1 camp is a direct to DVD movie called Stargate Continuum. Along with the regulars from the final season of the SG-1 television series, Richard Dean Anderson returned.

“Tenchi in Tokyo” was a follow up anime series to a previous show known as “Tenchi Muyo” When I first saw this one advertising to start being aired on the programme “Toonami” which was broadcast on the cable television channel Cartoon Network; I somehow didn’t think it would be …

If there’s a film-maker that has accepted the notion of the old avant-garde style, which professes the use of very specific direction and narration in the most unconventional way, it is Terrence Malik. His style is not for everyone, and perhaps that includes me.

I have always been a fan of Movie DVDs, at every opportunity I try and get hold of some of the latest releases for free or as little and legal as possible. And in all fairness lovefilm.com has come up top.

My wife has never seen the movie 12 Monkeys before so I decided to load it on our Netflix Player last night.
When I did this, I realized I hadn’t seen it in a while either so it was a bit like watching a brand new movie. And, even after …

Frozen is an excellent movie to watch if you have some time to kill and want it to fly by unnoticed. This is a great thriller that involves you and captures your imagination almost from the start. Being a very independent film, this is not a movie that boasts …

I only watched The Guardian because one of the main stars is Kevin Costner. I’ve liked him for a long time, even though not all of his movies have been the best. I knew from the previews that Ashton Kutcher was in the movie too, but I still wanted …

If you like blaxploitation films you have probably seen this one already. This one, starring Pam Grier as Sheba is one of the classics—-but not necessarily because of its cinematic greatness. Pam plays a private detective who is helping her father fight mobsters. …

I saw the original version of Hairspray with Ricki Lake on it. It made her a star. So when I found out that it was going to have a remake, I was very excited and saw it again. For me, the new Hairspray is way better than the original. …

“Broca Divide” is the fourth episode of the first season of “Stargate SG-1″. It’s an all-time fan favorite, and I love it. There are several notable events about this episode.
It’s the first show where we meet the spunky redhead physician, “Janet Fraiser”, played by Teryl Rothery. …

It is now 2008, and I just now got around to watching “The Devil Wears Prada.” This is because I am not prone to watching films that feature implausible storylines with patchy endings, over-the-top soppy acting, and so on and so forth. But I was attracted …

There was a point in my life where I had begun to like home invasion movies, it but it was only after a while when I had begun to see the same type of plot play out over and over again and they had become slightly cliché, that I …

A classic epic by the underrated filmmaker Anthony Mann. It depicts the whole last period of the Roman Empire in detail and gives one possible theory of what caused its fall (which historians aren’t quite sure of). Great actors like Alec Guinness and Omar Sharif makes this film even …

Last week my son and I went to see the new Russell Crowe movie 3:10 to Yuma. Although this was a remake of an oold 1957 film starring Glenn Ford as Ben Wade I was surprized at how well this was done. Russel Crowe gave an outstanding and …

I watched this movie when it came out with my cousin. I went over to her house and she rented it so we watched it together. It was kind of scary throughout the movie but I don’t remember being all that scared. There are a lot more scarier …

I just finished watching this movie at home and I should say that I like the performance of Keira Knightley who does the led role of Georgina Spencer Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire. I think Keira did a marvellous job because she looks very elegant and beautiful in …

Being a big fan of Tom Cruise, I decided to visit multiplex to watch Valkyrie on the very first day of its visit. However, the film disappoints me by its approach and the way screenplay has been managed by the director.
The biggest disappointment for me was the acting of …

Although this film received poor reviews upon release, I have to say it’s one of my all-time favorite films. It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s one of those movies you can watch over and over, and it’s still hilarious.
Alex (Covert) is a 35-year-old video game …

My husband and I watched Coraline as a part of our Valentines Day date! I know it is not your romantic kinda movie but I will tell you, we both enjoyed it. It is being played in 3D that made it even more fun and interesting! It is the …

Interviews with friends, family and colleagues are mixed with actual re-creations of his private life and authentic material from his live shows. What could have been a very interesting documentary about this genius of a comedian is somehow turned …

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 …

Remember the actress Audrey Tautou..? Well, if you want to refresh your memory, do watch Priceless for a good night-in of DVD rounds. I watched this just yesterday and this is what I have to say: definitely a movie that is super worth it for the die-hard romantics …

I recently watched the show Get Smart in re-runs and thought it was a fantastic show. So, when I had an opportunity to rent the movie based on the series, I figured I would give is a shot.
I have to say, the film Get Smart is absolutely hillarious.
Whenever you …

I can remember my mother constantly telling me about this movie over the years. However, I never seemed to see it on television or cable so I didn’t watch it for a very long time. It was apparently supposed to be one of the best war movies too, however, …

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 …

Set in the times of an economically resurgent America, in those glamorous days of John F. Kennedy, ‘Used Cars’ is a racy action packed duration of every minute hilarity. Kurt Russell is the show-stealer with his suave & explosive marketing of used cars.
He works for a used cars retailer …

When I first watched this movie, I was interested and intrigued from the start of it until the end. To me, the movie was very suspenseful and dramatic. Everytime there …

I was at first apprehensive about seeing this movie. Typically, when there is a lot of hype surrounding a film, or it seems that mostly pre-pubescent girls are interested in the movie, I find that the movie is much cornier than I’d like. But in this case, …

Star Trek Voyager season 3 episode 14 was a funny episode in its own way. It talks about falling in love at first sight. It would be hard to believe though that anyone would truly fall in love at first sight with a holodeck character though. However maybe in …

I had a troubled credit record and was refused by all car dealers to accept my loan requirement. I was disappointed but when I read about Drivers Approval and I applied to it they approved and sanctioned my car loan. Getting a loan with bad credit history is something …

OK, he’s a deer hunter and maybe …

The Incredibles is everything that has come to be expected from a Pixar animated movie and is great fun for the entire family. A new take on the story of a superhero and his super family was a welcome breather. While other movie studios have been and continue to …

When the movie Iron Man came out, I didn’t think it would be a movie I would enjoy. However, it ended up being much better than I thought it would be.
