The Weight of Water (R, 2001)
It took me a while to get around to watching “The Weight of Water” with Sean Penn. I am a Penn fan. But this film’s synopsis just seemed so trite and boring. Wow, was I wrong. The movie is based on a …
Movie “The Spell” (1977)
I love the 1970’s for it’s hilarious horror movies. I doubt I could ever find and watch them all. Hulu and Netflix have been great resources for me for hilarious horror movies from the ’70’s. What they considered horror is not at all what we think …

Internal Affairs Movie
I expected it to be a good and interesting movie. I like cop stories and I like Andy Garcia. But heck! What an absolutely dragging movie! For a cop movie in Hollywood, there was just too much talking. I could barely keep my eyes open.

The Day After Tomorrow movie
This was possibly the best disaster movie I can remember watching. In fact, before this movie I had no idea that disaster movies could be great, since most of them tend to be b-movies. However, one of the things I learned from watching this movie was that good disaster …
Movie Fired Up
We watched the movie Fired Up this past weekend. When I decided to watch it, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it turned out to be an OK movie.
OK, let me start out by saying this film isn’t for everyone in the family. It was about as raunchy …
Wanted DVD

Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I felt sad after watching this movie. I thought it had great promise considering it was dealing with a different kind of addiction. Unfortunately, the script and the beat made the theme unimportant and somewhat irrelevant. I found so many scenes quite slapstick-y and dumb, and I felt irritated …
Iron Man
To me, Iron Man is one of the top five comic book movies ever made, right up there with Superman I, Spider-man 2, and the Dark Knight. Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark and is the best “alter ego” of any of the super hero movie actors. …
Paul Blart: Mall Cop
The first thing I thought when I saw this movie advertising was that the movie looked like it was going to be unusual, but not necessarily funny. When I actually got to watch it though, I realised how right I was, as I never laughed one time throughout the …

Avatar movie
Alright, I’ll admit it: I’m one of the few people out there that actually didn’t go to the movie theater to see this movie. I rarely go to the theater period, mainly because I feel that it’s just so outrageously expensive. I do kind of regret not going to …
Corpse Bride movie
I think Corpse Bride was a great film. It was very dark and had lots of feeling in it. And it was a tale told in the classic Tim Burton style. I really liked the story and thought it was both very dark, yet very romantic. I really loved the …

Movie Don’t Look Now
I love suspense and horror, and I adore Julie Christie. What a gorgeous actress she was! If you also enjoy this combination, you must watch Don’t Look Now. Don’t Look Now is an older film, from the 1970s, but it will not disappoint you. Julie Christie plays Laura, and …
4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days (2007)

Batman
Several years ago, before Christian Bale took over the title role in a re-invention of the franchise, Michael Keaton wore a cape and became Batman. And, even today, this movie (unlike the sequels after it) remains one of my favorite super hero films.
Keaton does a great job playing Batman …
See No Evil (R, 2006) movie
Horror movies these days have taken the plunge–into the cheesy. I thought “See No Evil” would be one of those films. And to a degree it is. The same character set-up applies which involves a group of teens and a creepy old house. This time …

The Thing from Another World movie
This film was directed by Howard Hawks back in the 1960s, but for some reason the famous director let an unknown filmmaker take all the credit. Perhaps it wasn’t good for is rumour to be affiliated with a story like this, I’m not sure.
Anyway, the plot centres around a …
Lover Come Back movie
Doris Day and Rock Hudson team up again for Lover Come Back from 1961. It’s a really fun and daffy romantic comedy that I enjoy a lot, though Pillow Talk is my favorite of their three motion pictures together.
In Lover Come Back, both Day and Hudson play ad …
