Halloween (UR, 2007) movie
I am not too proud to admit that I thought this movie would be a piece of garbage. But I was sooo totally and completely pleased with how this movie was made. Thinking that it would be a convoluted and cartoonish remake of the original thriller, …
Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein
Well, I wasn’t sure if my daughter would like an Alvin & the Chipmunks cartoon; let along one that would have a scary monster like Frankenstein’s Monster. But, she obviously is a huge fan of the movie Alvin & the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein because she’s watched the DVD probably …
Shrek the third
I’ve heard some very mixed emotions about Shrek the Third for weeks before I made up my mind to go and see it myself. It took me this long, mainly because I did not want to be disapointed. See, I am a very big Shrek fan. …
Spiderman
Before Batman Begins hit the big screens, I thought that the original Spiderman was the best superhero movie of all time. This movie, much like Batman Begins, tells the story of how Spiderman became to be and I thought they handled all of the backstory VERY well. …
Carny Movie
I finally got time to sit down and watch a horror movie this past weekend (I’ve been in the mood for one). I didn’t have a whole lot to choose from so I ended up watching the 2009 movie Carny.
I’m not sure, but I think this might have originally …
Boogie Nights
When I saw the movie “Boogie Nights” on the television guide, I used to think that it was probably a movie from the nineteen seventies starring the American actor John Travolta. However, recently I realised that I was actually confusing the movie with another movie named Saturday Night Fever …
Cloud Atlas movie
To be completely honest before I had watched this movie the trailer was so disappointing that I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I just happened to want to watch a movie and came across it. However this was one of those movies that just really got to me. …
Movie: Stomp the Yard
I got bored this weekend and ended up watching some movies I came across on TV. One of these films was the movie Stomp the Yard.
I’m going to tell you this right now. Do not waste your time with this film.
At one point, movies that featured dance numbers were entertaining …
Movie: “It’s a Boy Girl Thing” (2006)

Bewitched
Once again Nicole Kidman has shown what a valuable asset she is to hollywood. Her performance in bewitched is spell binding and applaudable. Her karisma leaves as all bedazzled! Bewitched is definitely one of her finest work along with funny man and co-star Will Farrell. Will has shown off …

Days of our lives
I have been an avid watcher of Days of our lives soap opera for many years. So it is only natural that I choose to do a review on one of my favorite daytime dramas. There are many of the original characters that have been played by the same …

The Hangover
I was fortunate enough to see the new movie the Hangover in the movie theatre while it was still in theaters. I saw it with my boyfriend and I must admit, it was the perfect date movie. It is perfect only if you are looking for a very light, …

Netflix
There are thousands — hundreds of thousands — of movies in the world. You can’t possibly go to all of them, especially if, like me, you like art house and independent films.
This is why I, and you, need Netflix.
I had to be talked into Netflix by two or …
Cars movie
I enjoy Pixar movies very much, and Cars is no exception. This computer-generated animated movie features the voices of Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt, Michael Keaton and others. Like many Pixar movies, the story takes place in an alternate world, a world where cars, not humans, rule …
When Harry Met Sally
Billy Crystal sizzles in the movie, When Harry Met Sally. And one of my most favorite actress, Meg Ryan acted too and together with Billy Crystal, the on-screen chemistry looks unavoidable. I could be watching this 10 times and still not get tired nor bored at it.
This is …
Dazed and confused movie
This is one in the long row of films depicting the teenage high school life, this time when the teenagers are graduating. The characters here are very cliche-like as you might have expected. There’s the tough guy, the beauty queen, the nerd, the good-looking guy who wants to be …
What Lies Beneath
What Lies Beneath is a very good movie. It is not really a supernatural story, but it plays with emotions, feelings, a bit of haunting feeling and lots of gutsy, instinct-feelings of a wife, in the end to realize that she is living with not just a cheating …
Haunted Mansion (2003)
Honestly, I just find Nathaniel Parker cute that’s why I finished this movie and wishing I had been Marsha Thomason just to snatch that role. Yes, this is a funny movie but I was wondering why Walt Disney Pictures, or anyone else who has been part of making …
Haunted Echoes movie 2008
I rented Haunted Echoes because I love a good ghost story, and I noticed that Sean Young starred in it, a favorite actress from Blade Runner in the early 80’s that I don’t think I have seen too often in anything since. She is still lovely. This film was …
The Wolverine (movie)
When the movie “The Wolverine” was released last year, I found that I was nowhere near interested in seeing it unlike the other movies in the “X-men” series. Until now, I still have a difficulty placing my finger on why exactly this was since I generally look forward to …
Tremors movie
A resurrection of old monster movies from the 1950s. In this film Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward plays the two men who discover something strange in a desolate american town. Out of the ground comes some kind of ancient creature that threaten to destroy the whole village and eat …
The Orphan (2009)
What to say about this movie? I liked the concept. It was like watching “The Bad Seed” or “The Good Son” all together. But this movie started off with a really gruesome childbirthing nightmare. Once we realize that Vera Farmiga’s character is just dreaming, the …
Killer Klowns from Outer Space movie
I ended up staying up a bit late last night and came across the movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I have seen it before, but I hadn’t seen it in a while so I took the time to watch it.
This movie is one of the most suprising movies …
Walking Tall movie
My wife and I came across the movie Walking Tall on television last night (the re-make, not the original) and, because we hadn’t seen it in a while, decided to watch it.
I haven’t seen the original yet and can’t compare the two. But, this one, starring The Rock, was …

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009 Movie)
First off, I did not go to see this in theaters. I waited until it was available through Netflix streaming before I actually saw it. That being said, this movie was absolutely amazing even without Imax, surround sound, and in 3D. It’s based off a children’s book, and according …
Twister
Helen Hunt is just a good actress and I wonder whether she has ever won an acting award or not. Her appearance was very good, especially in the movie, Twister, which I watched years back. My local TV channel loves to showcase long-ago movies which had been blockbuster …
Stick It the Movie
I recently had the chance to watch the movie, Stick It. I really was not expecting it to be good at all, my little sisters are the ones that wanted to watch it being fans of the sport of gymnastics.
At first I thought the movie started out …
The Devil and a Guy Named Webster
The premise of this episode is pretty much laid out in the title: The Devil and a Guy Named Webster. It is a fusion of the classic tale: The Devil and Daniel Webster, but instead of the famous American orator we get Emmanuel Lewis (best known as star …
Cleo from 5 to 7 movie
A film directed by Agnes Varda and part of the french new wave in the early sixties that inspired a whole world of upcoming filmmakers back then. This story is about a young woman who gets to know she is pregnant and experiences the most hectic and emotionally intense …
The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery movie
This movie, The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery, seemed like it would be a lot more interesting than it was. It’s a crazy set up, though, with some nonsense about adoption and motherhood. Justine Bateman stars as wife, mom, and writer Lucy Freers who turns sleuth to find the …
The Haunted Mansion (2003)
This mega flop of a movie starring the ever lovable funny man Eddie Murphy failed to deliver on the hype that was promised, and overall, the entire movie did not even manage to make back the money they spent as budget to turn over a reasonable profit, but hey, …
Forest Gump The Movie
If I am to rank my favorite films, Forest Gump will definitely find its place among the top 10. The movie was released back in 1994 and maybe most of you have watched it. Starring is Tom Hanks and the movie is directed by Robert Zemeckis. What I like …
Vampire Circus, movie (1972)
This entry, we take a look at a recent film from the famed Hammer studios, which was recently involved in the post-Potter Daniel Radcliffe film, The Woman in Black. Their new logo is akin to the logo for Marvel Studios, utilizing their film posters much like Marvel uses …

Rango Movie
I looked forward to going to see Rango for probably three reasons. Number one of course was getting to hang out with my nephew and secondly I was looking forward to the movie because it looked good in the trailers. The third reason? I was looking …

Movie: Haunting of Winchester House
I wanted something to watch late last night that was interesting but didn’t have a plot that was overly complicated. So, I fell back onto my usual horror genre and picked out one that seemed interesting; Haunting of Winchester House.
I actually was familiar with the Winchester House legend (thank …
Predator
I think Predator is one of the scariest movie I have ever seen. And I also think it is one of Arnold schwarzenegger’s best roles. Predator offers a really good stoyline and villian. The Predator is an alien life form with advanced weapons and technology. This thing is scary. I …
The Marsh (R, 2006) movie
If you’re thinking about renting a rollercoaster ride of a film, look elsewhere other than “The Marsh.” No offense to the award-winning Forrest Whitaker, or the equally winsome Gabrielle Anwar. In fact, I can’t even say that I didn’t enjoy this movie. …
