Caramel (2008)
I watched a DVD movie titled Caramel the other night and I have nothing but praise for this movie, really. It showcases the extremely talented Lebanese actress cum Director Nadine Labaki, which she directs this movie herself. This is a story of how a few women, mostly …
The Italian Job, movie (1969)
Chances are, you know who Michael Caine is. The Prestige, Inception and the recent trio of Batman films are only a few of the films to showcase his talents. Yet, there was a period where no one outside of England knew who he was. Thanks to …

Corey Haim and Corey Feldman stir up trouble in this movie about teenage hormones and mischief. Lead character Corey Haim is to take his driving exam of which he fails, not wanting his family and friends and most of all his love interest to find out that he failed …
The Bourne Ultimatum
I have enjoyed both the previous Bourne movies, but I HAVE to say that the last one The Bourne Ultimatum was by far my favourite! I am usually not that much into watching sequels - but the Bourne Sequels just got better and better as they went along! …
Gangs of New York (Movie)
I recently watched a movie on television that I have not seen in many years, and I completely remembered why I thought it was one of the best movies I had ever seen back then. Gangs of New York got quite a bit of flak for being extremely violent, …
Gia (movie)
Gia is a movie about the deceased supermodel, Gia Carangi. Gia is played by Angelina Jolie, and while I am not a personal fan of Angelina Jolie, she does a marvelous performance. Gia is such a troubled soul, from the very start. Gia is not only a smart talking, …
James & the Giant Peach
OK, I finally got a chance to watch the movie James & the Giant Peach. Wow, what a dull piece of garbage.
Personally, if I would have been the star of this film, it would have been called something like Steve & the Giant Can of Raid. I’m sorry, but …
Grave of the Fireflies (movie)
After watching movies such as Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle, I was searching the internet for some good Japanese animated films to watch. The name of one movie in particular named “Grave of the Fireflies” kept surfacing with many extremely good ratings. However, I found myself ignoring it …
State of Play movie
I was expecting State of Play to follow a common story line for movies about political intrigue, but I was riveted to the screen for most of this movie. While some of the plot twists were predictable, the final one near the end was unexpected. I also dislike the …
Antz Disney Movie
Antz is one of Disney’s newer movies to be released on dvd. I have seen it multiple times, and it again and again impresses me. Its anamations are so impressive, and I am forever astounded at how detailed the characters’ facial gestures are, and how fluent their …
Friended to Death, movie (2014)
Watching a dreary film like Friended to Death has been a total waste of my time and energy. Directed by Sarah Smick and starring Ryan Hansen, James Immekus, Zach McGowan and others, this film has failed to keep me glued to it. Perhaps the director had aimed at shooting …
Blood of the Beasts movie
This documentary by frenchman Georges Franju shows an unpolished and uncensored look into a slaughterhouse in France. No dialogue, all we see is how the day goes on in a slaughterhouse. This is a most shocking film, scenes that are never shown in reality. It’s hard to understand how …
Horrible bosses movie (2011)
First off, let me just say that the movie ‘Horrible Bosses’ was absolutely hilarious! I really had no reason to see it other than the fact that Jason Bateman was in a starring role in the movie. It also stars Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis and …
Coraline movie
When I first saw the movie Coraline advertise to be released in theatres I knew I wanted to see it, especially when I found out that it was directed by a director whose work I had adored ever since I was a little girl, Tim Burton. The trailer seemed …
Bride Wars Movie
The movie stars Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Sometimes, when I am tired or depressed, I need a good laugh and one of the method that I invoke to have this is to watch feel-good movies. Sometimes cartoons help me with this therapy but I scout for movies like …
Monsters VS Aliens 3D
This is the 2nd movie that I have seen in 3D. The 3D effect is indeed a visual treat. It is very entertaining and it took movie watching up a notch. It is as if you can actually touch and feel the characters. Kids and adult alike enjoy such visual …
Cake Eaters movie
Ever since I’ve watched Twilight I’ve been a Kristen Stewart fan. So I decided to find some of her movies and I found this movie Cake Eaters.
The movie is set on a small town wherein the characters are loosely intertwined and how they’re confronting their past up to …
The Contract movie
This movie was very interesting and exciting. It was a little bit long though but it kept me interested in it. It started off very nicely and went straight into the movie. It was towards the middle and end that I felt it dragged on a little bit. It …
Battlefield Earth (2000)
The Earth has been taken over and is now being controlled by a race of giant aliens. The survivors of the attack on Earth were being used as slaves to help the aliens to continue their rule on the planet; others have managed to escape and are living in …

This is a horror movie about a serial killer who meets in a motor vehicle accident, while in the hospital undergoing treatment, he is placed in a CAT scan machine where, while there, an electric storm surges through the machine and transfers the serial killers mind into the computer …
In Too Deep movie
I like Omar Epps in his reoccurring role on the show “House” but I’m not convinced he is a good Hollywood actor, capable of carrying a movie when asked.
A good example is the film In Too Deep. Epps stars in the movie and does a decent job as a …
Remember Me (2010)
I will start by saying the film “Remember Me”, starring Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, and Emilie de Ravin, is surprisingly good. On the surface, it contains a cliche plot, one of a boy who dates a girl to get back at someone else but ultimately falls …
Movie The Werewolf’s Shadow (1970)
The Werewolf’s Shadow (1970) (aka Night of Walpurgis and Werewolf vs The Vampire Woman)
Three cheers to Anchor Bay for releasing the most complete version of this Paul Naschy werewolf classic! It is a huge step up over the rotten, heavily edited VHS version BLOOD MOON that was released twenty …
Barbie’s Princess and Pauper Movie
As a girl, I loved to get Barbie dolls for Christmas or my birthday. I had so many different outfits, dolls, and other accessories that went with the toys, but I was already an adult when the movies started to come out. So as one can imagine, I was …
The Green Mile
I have heard of the movie The Green Mile before. But, I have never taken the time to watch it because I figured it would be like another Stephen King movie/book; The Shawshank Redemption.
My wife decided to watch it again on Saturday though so I had a chance to …

The Human Stain
The Human Stain with Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman.
Right from the beginning, the audience is put to sleep with the playing of dull background music. We see Hopkins and Kidman slide off an icy road in their car and fall to their drowning death. …
My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, movie
Before we start, I should probably give some background on my stance regarding the franchise as a whole. That way you can know where I’m coming from when discussing the movie as a whole. I did finally decide to check the show out on Netflix a while back. …
Movie: The Social Network
Synopsis: This film gives you a history of the web site Facebook.com from its humble beginnings as a Harvard social network to it’s expansion into one of the largest and most popular social networking sites in the world.
What I liked about this movie: My wife and I both use …
Movie National Treasure
I thought that this movie looked like a cool movie when I got it, so I sat down and watched it right away, and I really liked it. It is not my favorite movie, but it is pretty interesting and is a fun movie to watch with other people …
Twilight the first movie
Twilight was such a great movie with so many different scenes that I loved with so many hot guys and characters that blew my mind away and captured my heart. I love how the plot revolves around a group of vampires with one the vampires falling in love with a …

Destroying Angel movie
I am reviewing the movie, Destroying Angel, starring Daniel Casey and John Nettles. This movie was made in 2001, was produced by Brian True-May, and was based off the novels of author Caroline Graham.
In this film, poison is the key. When a local man is found murdered in the …

Bio Dome
When I think back to the movies made in the 1990s, I can think of quite a few good ones. And, then I can think of ones made by Pauley Shore that weren’t so good but still somewhat entertaining.
Shore will never win any awards for his performance in the …
Flags of Our Fathers
“Flags of Our Fathers” was a good film.
Story: Very interesting. My wife constantly said, “I had no idea” at the variously elements that you learn throughout the story.
Acting: Ryan Phillipe will have a great career if he keeps picking movies like this. I am concerned for the Native …
Movie Because I Said So
I was very reluctant to watch the movie “Because I said So”. That’s not because I’m not a fan of Diane Keaton or Mandy Moore. It’s because most romantic comedies have the same basic plot and I knew this one wouldn’t be any different.
And, I was right. However, after …
Ground Control
Keifer Sutherland plays a burnt out air traffic controller in the movie Ground Control. Henry Fonda plays a mechanic in the air traffic control tower who is trying to keep the system running with duct tape and bailing wire. Once Jack Harris was the best air traffic controller …
Titanic 1997 movie
Titanic is one of the most educational yet romantic and sad films I have ever seen. The film is told by an old lady who was on the titanic when it sank. It is told as a story of what happened to her from the moment she entered the …
Halloween II, 2009 Horror film
It bothers me how bad Halloween II is. Rob Zombie took a good thing he had going with his first movie and just decided to messed it all up. At times the movie felt like an action flick with horror elements. Calling this a straight-up horror movie is a …
It’s Your Move Movie
A young couple plans to move to a new home, but the company that is supposed to transport their belongings aren’t really as reliable as they would have hoped.
The film was created by the same people who did The Plank a couple of years earlier, and it is the …
The Secret of My Success
Michael J. Fox stars as Brantley Foster in The Secret of My Success. The film came out in 1987 and to me, Fox still looked so young. Even in Family Ties, he seemed very young to me. Here he’s leaving the farm to go make it …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I haven’t seen many impressive movies on TV lately, so ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ was a real revelation to me. The first thing I liked about it was that it hadn’t been dubbed in English, so I could listen to the characters speaking in their native tongue (Spanish), which carried me …
Movie The uninvited
I watched the uninvited about a week ago and I really enjoyed it overall. I thought the movie was interesting, kept my attention, and had a good story behind the movie. My sister and my mother watched the movie as well, and they really enjoyed it. My sisters friend …
Luther,2003 movie
“Luther,” 2003, starring Joseph Fiennes, is a well-done, compelling movie about the beginning of the Reformation. Seeing the questionable practices of the Catholic Church, Luther, a devoted monk, begins to question its teachings. Despite being a monk, he has never read the New Testament; when he does, he is …
Movie: Unstoppable
Synopsis: Two train company employees must chase down a runaway locomotive and stop it or slow it down before it derails; spilling the toxic chemicals that it is carrying with it.
What I liked about this movie: I think the best part of this movie for me was all the …
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial movie
The film that touched the world is how Steven Spielberg would describe his work, and for a good cause. People all over the world has been utterly spellbound by the story of a stranded alien who befriends a human toddler. I cannot remember how many times I …
