The Invention of Lying (Movie)
The Invention of Lying (Movie)
Ricky Gervais is known for his over-the-top humor, but there was nothing funny about this movie. The movie started out with an intriguing idea of a world where everybody is forced to say what is on their mind and tell 100% truths, but then one …
Wrath of the Titans (2012 movie)
I just recently saw the movie Wrath of the Titans. It is the sequel to the previous Greek mythology-based movie about Perseus which was entitled Clash of the Titans. This movie still has the original cast, like Sam Worthington as Perseus, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, …

Movie: Vampires Suck
The movie Vampires Suck is probably the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. It is a direct spoof of all the teen vampire movies and books that have been released due to the Twilight Saga phenomenon.
There are a lot of “in-jokes” for the fans, and …
Twilight movie
Twilight is my favorite movie. It is about a vampire who fell in love with a mortal. That is the conflict in the story because a vampire human relationship is prohibited. Even though the story is quite simple and it looks like another teeny movie. I am …
The Mayor of Casterbridge
The Mayor of Casterbridge with Alan Bates has impressed me. It is a story of a man who gets drunk and sells his wife and baby daughter to a stranger. Twenty years later, the wife, Susan, returns. It turns out that she has been a faithful wife to the …
Ella Enchanted
Ella Enchanted is somewhat of a cross between Cinderella and Shrek. We have a modernized fantasy world with ogres, elves, giants, taxi carriages and man-powered wooden escalators. And we have a teenage girl Ella who lives with a step mother and (of course) her two evil daughters. However, there …

Mamma Mia! movie
From 2008, the movie Mamma Mia! garnered a lot of buzz when it was released. I didn’t see it myself until just recently, however. Part of me wonders if the movie suffers from my ‘too much hype’ syndrome. Back when American Graffitti came out, I didn’t …
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins
After seeing a preview of the new film Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, I quickly assumed this was a ‘wait for dvd’ movie. Thanks to a lack of good movies in February, I decided to take a chance on this film. To my surprise this film was actually …
Dead Silence (R, 2007) movie
“Dead Silence” looks like it’s going to be corny and slow-moving. In some parts it certainly is. The plot revolves around the old legend of Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who had her tongue cut out by townspeople. Of course her ghost comes back and takes revenge. …
Sword in the Stone
I am reviewing the Disney film, Sword in the Stone. Young Arthur works in a place where he is not welcome, nor wanted. He is treated like dirt, and is completely misunderstood. He wants to be a squire more than anything, but he’s got a lot of …
Beast Wars: Transformers - The Complete Third Season Set
The complete third season of Beast Wars: Transformers on DVD is a letdown. It’s not the fault of the picture or sound quality on the DVD set, although the amount of “extras” is very disappointing, but it’s the episodes that are the real problem. Unlike season two, the scripts …
Movie : Teen Wolf (1985)
Going through a bit of a retro phase lately has made me notice just how much the overall movie industry hs changed over the years. And after re-watching the Michael J. Fox movie TEEN WOLF I hate to quote such a common saying but ‘they just don’t make them …
Leatherheads
“Leatherheads” represent one of the first attemps for the actor George Clooney to be involved in a movie, not just as an actor, but also as a director. I say that after seeing Clooney being involved in a lot of dramatic movies, “Leatherheads” comes across as a surprise since …

The Gingerdead Man movie
First off, the fact that the star of this movie is Gary Busey should tip you off as to what kind of a movie it’s going to be. If that doesn’t, then the fact that he plays a talking homicidal cookie should. After being executed for a murder spree/ …
Nicholas Cage
Nicholas Cage is my all time favorite movie star. The first time I realized this was when I watched The Rock filmed in 1996. His accent alone captures my attention. It is that slow Californian voice that sounds so cool to me. When I first …
Employee of the Month
I saw previews for Employee of the Month a few months ago but never made an effort to rent it. It just didn’t look that good.
But, when it became available on Showtime, I decided to at least give it a chance. I wasn’t disappointed.
Like most movies that take place …
The Fearless Four
Tonight was our family movie night and, since the only way I can ever seem to keep my daughter interested in a movie is by watching an animated film, I searched for a cartoon movie we could load on our Netflix player. That eventually ended up being the Fearless …
Ali movie
Will Smith appears as the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay in this film by Michael Mann. Will Smith is actually very convincing in this serious role, although I personally think he’s more suited for humoristic roles. From the first to the last scene of this film feels …
Movie Love Actually
I must admit that “Love Actually” is one of my favourite all time movies. What makes this movie so special is the fact that it tackles the theme of love from various angles in a simple and straight forward manner.
In this movie we get to meet eight different stories …
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 …
In The Cut (2003) Movie
I am afraid that I could not help comparing this movie all the way through to Nine and a Half Weeks, the 1987 erotic movie starring Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. Now that is an erotic movie and I (and my friends at the time too!) can totally …
Tokyo Majin Episode 4
Tokyo Majin Episode 4 has Tatsuma Hiyuu, Aoi Misato, Kyouichi Horaiji, Komaki Sakurai and Yuuya Daigo begin their search for Raito Umon, who was searching for his band mate, Ryouichi Karasu, who has been using crows to attack people.
This episosde was pretty good for the typical monster-of-the-week …
Virtual Girl movie
When I first saw the movie Virtual Girl, my first thought was it was going to be some sort of soft-core porn film posing as a thriller. But, I have had that impression of other movies before and, when I gave them a chance, I found them to be …
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Movie
At the time of its release, it was an amazing film with wonderful acrobatics, animation and storyline…the characters were well casted also. Imaginative choreography with hand to hand combat and weapons fighting. It was the talk of the town then and it’s a great film to watch even now. …

The Burbs, movies
Modern suburbia, a world where the paper boy flys by, neighbors pick flowers and the flad is raised every morning at dawn. Even if it isn’t your neighborhood, you’ll be able to sympathize with the one that Tom Hanks inhabits in this great family comedy with mild scares and …
Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh Movie
It was because of Candyman why I avoided taking a shower for a week as a kid. I was afraid to be alone in the bathroom, much less pass by a mirror where I knew he would jump out and get me. I really liked the first movie and I …
Shutter Island movie
This movie totally lived up to all the hype I heard about it. I personally am not a big Leonardo Decaprio fan and it was almost the reason I didn’t watch this movie. However I heard so many good things about it that I just had to suck …
Slumdog Millionaire movie
Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 low-budgeted film about an Indian orphan who dreamed big and search his destiny. This movie dominated the Oscar awards 2009 and because of that I was very intrigued why such low-budgeted/Indian-inspired film successfully captured the Academy judges.
I finally had the time to watch this …
Knocked Up (UnRated, 2007) movie
Seth Rogen is my all-time new hero. I love that he’s shlubby, because his dry sense of humor makes him seem more attractive than he actually is. In any event, this is the whole premise of the movie “Knocked Up.” Catherine Heigl portrays Allison, …
Movie A walk to remember
I must admit that I truly enjoy watching great romance movies. The once I truly like I watch them endless times. “A walk to remember” is a great movie based on a true story.
The film is based in 1958 about the daughter of a minister, a part interpreted by Mandy …
Disney’s The Fox and the Hound (1981)
Just to prove that I really am over 50, I own Disney’s “The Fox and the Hound” on a VHS tape! I play it at least once a week because it’s so cute, but not more often than that because I don’t want to wear out the tape.
The …
Love and a .45 (1994)
“Love and a .45″ is an absolutely fantastic movie in my book and I have watched it dozens of times over the years. This film has its flaws, but overall is an excellent way to pass the time. There is action, drama, and comedy all rolled into one that …
The Mist
Frank Darabont had proven himself a skilled director when it came to adapting Stephen King’s works to film. He created a modern masterpiece with “The Shawshank Redemption” and “The Green Mile” was also very well done. For the first time, the director gets to tackle a horror …
Secretariat movie
Secretariat stars Diane Lane and John Malkovich as well as several other actors and actresses. It is a Disney movie about the great racehorse Secretariat, and the people who stood behind him and trained him to win the Triple Crown and become one of the most famous racehorses ever …
Precious movie - Based on the novel Push by Sapphire
I read the book Push that is the novel that the movie Precious is based on first, so that I could prepare myself for what everyone told me, and the previews indicated, was going to be a difficult movie to watch. When I watched the DVD, I was very …
The Contract (R, 2006) movie
Any film that has Morgan Freeman in it was something that I added to my Netflix queue (unless I’d seen it multiple times before). But I must say that this film will not be one of those that I rent again. The premise seemed interesting enough. …
