SiCKO
As a liberal democrat, I enjoy Michael Moore’s films. While they are obviously biased, they are backed up with facts. But the bias is what the republicans mock. In this film, Michael Moore questions why Americans as a whole seem to have this deep-rooted fear of a universal health …

Desperate Hours Remake (1990)
I’m not a big fan of remakes of movies. I call them “removies”. I find that removies are rarely as good as the original movie. In part this is because the movies that are usually redone are movies that were excellent movies to begin with. Nobody tries to …
Man of The Year
Man of the Year is a good comedy. From all of the trailors I thought they would actually let the comedian become president not that he would get the truth out in time. I enjoyed the movie I just think it would have been funnier the other way if …

The 1992 movie “Enchanted April” is a charming, almost magical movie about four women who vacation together in a villa in Italy. Lottie Wilkins (played by Josie Lawrence) and Rose Arbuthnot (played by Miranda Richardson) are two English women living in England shortly after World War I. The two …

The Hiding Place Movie
I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.
The story is of Corrie ten Boom, and her …

Under the Tuscan sun is a very nice movie. The movie with Diane Lane as the lead actor is a very heart touching movie with some poignant moments to it’s credit. Frances has a painful split from her husband and what makes it more painful is the fact that …

Being filmed in 1984, “Dreamscape” may be a little dated when it comes to special effects, but it is still a good movie. Alex Gardner, played by Dennis Quaid, is a gifted psychic. He is invited to participate in a government funded sleep research at the special clinic that …

Disney’s Pinocchio
Disney’s Pinocchio is an animation master piece. Now a lot of people like this new Pixar stuff like Finding Nemo. And they seem to like it because it’s 3D and high tech. But before when animation was done the old fashioned way I thought movies were much better. I really …

Mighty Aphrodite Movie
Mighty Aphrodite is a great, fun movie from writer and director Woody Allen, released in 1994 I believe. It is rich with gags and one-liners all the way through so the script is great, with Woody at his best giving his funny delivery of the lines and also …

30 Days of Night Movie
From the Director of Hard Candy, comes a not so average vampire flick. Produced by Sam Raimi who brought you the Evil Dead series. This movie isn’t life changing, but it absolutely deserves a watch!
This film captured my interest for the sheer fact it was a vampire movie! Over …
Hancock
After watching the movie “Hancock”, you will understand immediately while Will Smith expressed interest in interpreting this role. “Hancock” is a superhero movie without the superhero clichés. This together with the talent of actors, Charlize Theron and Jason Batman and great action moments, make this movie one of this …
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I’m not usually a huge fan of romantic comedies. They’re OK but I get bored with them quickly because they usually have the same basic plot.
However, I have to say, after watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I did find myself entertained throughout.
The good thing about this movie is it offers …

I loved the fact that they made …
Julie Johnson (NR, 2001) movie
I rented this because I am a huge Lili Taylor fan. She has something that other actresses don’t have which is guts. She’s not conventionally pretty, but always manages to look so in her films. At any rate, this story is about a housewife …

Finding Nemo
There are very few movies out there that show you the importance of fatherhood. That’s why I think Finding Nemo is one of the better movies ever made.
Never mind the fact this is an animated film that is designed with children in mind. The underlying message is how difficult …
High Fidelity
“High Fidelity” is definitely the most renowed John Cusack’s movie. I must admit that he did a great job in this movie for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe. In an interview, Cusack admitted that this movie is also one of his favourites too.
What makes “High Fidelity” …
Phantom of the Opera movie
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera came to the big screen in 2004, and it was an incredible success. I had the priviledge of seeing it in the theatres while in Mexico, and even there, in a foreign tongue, it received rave reviews. I would completely agree with …
