Movie: Dreamscape

10 Things I Hate about You
If there’s anything that will bore me fast, it is a love story. This is especially true when the love story takes place between two high school kids. But, I will admit, the movie 10 Things I Hate About You isn�t too bad.

Jerry Maguire
I must admit that, although Tom Cruise gives an excellent interpreation in the movie “Jerry Maguire”, I still have “Born on the 4th of July” as my favourite movie. What is so great about “Jerry Maguire” is that it relies totally on Tom Cruise in bringing out the best …

The Forth Kind film
I went to see this film with a bunch of my friends. We had seen the advert and thought it looked quite good.

Scary Movie
A hideous “comedy” that is supposed to make fun of old horror movie cliches with a focus on predictable storytelling and shock effects. However, all it does is show a very long and disturbing series of prejudice, poor taste and idiotic humour. The film is by the way is …

Movie Street kings

A Frozen Flower (a Korean Movie)
If you love movies of foreign languages, then you can try to watch this Korean movie titled, A Frozen Flower. I thought it’s a rather weird movie and at the same time, feels quite confused by it all. This movie is basically about royalty, about the “relationship” of …
The Happening
When I saw previews to the movie The Happening, I suspected it would be a film that would start out scary but would have a twist that would manage to ruin it.
After watching it last night, I found I was 100 percent correct.
While I liked the idea of a …
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World 2010

A face to die for
You know, sometimes the best movies out there are those that are made for television. Proof of that can be found in the 1996 made-for-TV movie “A Face to Die For.”

Captivity film
Elisha Cuthbert, Daniel Gillies
MA 15+ Strong violence, blood and gore.
I should have known that this film was going to turn my stomach. I’m not the blood and gore kind of girl but I am a Roland Joffe (director of the Killing Fields) fan.
First let me say that the rating …
Easy-A: Movie
Easy-A is a teen-comedy that I found mildly interesting to watch, and only because it was aimed at my particular age group.
It’s very easy-to-watch and has a lot of teenage humour that can keep the interest, but of course without the topic of sex this wouldn’t really be worth …
Pretty Persuasion (R, 2005)

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/ …
Transporter 2 (2005 movie)
What is the aim of this motion picture? Where is the purpose? If you ask me, there are none. This movie developes waaaaay too fast, there is too much momentum. I find it hard to put in words how terrible this movie is. The original of this one overshadows …
