The Giver (science fiction movie)
I actually saw the trailer for the movie “The Giver” by accident, but somehow I forgot about it, because a few other things that were released around the same period of time seemed to overshadow it. However, by the time that it got on Blu-ray, I remembered enough about it …
Son of Rambow
This was a fun, entertaining comedy to watch and one I really enjoyed. I had never heard of it before when I found it on my library’s movie shelf, but it looked interesting so I checked it out. I’m glad I did, as it really is a gem.
Basically …

This movie, for those of you out of the loop, is about Bob Dylan. The name is taken from an obscure Bob Dylan song that the director, Todd Haynes, went on an epic journey to find a studio recording of, only to find one in Neil Young’s basement.
It stars …
Daniel Craig is a GREAT 007
Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …
Lars and the Real Girl (PG-13, 2007) movie
I skipped this film in theaters because I wasn’t sure that I could sit through two hours of watching people pretend that a Real Doll (sex doll) was really the girlfriend of a local man. I realized upon watching this movie that I was right in my decision …
Annie movie
I am reviewing the movie, Annie. I am reviewing the older version of Annie, not the disney one (which was deplorable). Everybody knows the story of Annie, a little orphan who wants nothing more than to see her parents again. She lives in a dreadful orphanage with a …
Vantage Point
The new Pete Travis film, “Vantage Point” hit number one in it’s first week in theaters. The film is not great, but is worth checking out. The idea behind the film is creative, I give it that much. The film opens with a typical “the …

Hope Floats
I admit that I generally enjoy watching Sandra Bullock’s movie; however “Hope Floats” failed to impress me. I feel that there is something missing script wise which failed to make a good movie. I also believe that “Hope Floats” was another Bullock attempt to make a romantic movie tackling a …
Movie: The Apple Dumpling Gang
I was flipping through channels the other night and came across a movie I have yet to see in its entirety; The Apple Dumpling Gang.
And, once again, I missed the first few minutes of the movie. But, at least I saw enough of it to know it wasn’t a …
The Hunger Games movie
As an avid fan of the books, I was absolutely horrified when I found out The Hunger Games trilogy was going to be made into movies. I never really felt that anyone would be enough to take on the role of Katniss Everdeen, and I just knew they …
The Mist (movie)
We went to the movies last night and watched the film entitled the Mist, based on a novel by Stephen King. I love a good mystery and I really enjoy Stephen Kings books, and usually enjoy the film adaptations.
This movie was really a good story, enough computer …

I’m a big fan of action films and martial arts movies. I was very excited when I learned that Jackie Chan and Jet Li, two of Asia’s most popular martial arts actors, are going to star in one movie. I really waited for this movie to be shown and …
The Simpsons Movie
I remember when I saw the trailer for this movie. I just had to see it. I mean the Simpsons…one of the most popular cartoon shows out there and it’s been around so long it was about time they made a movie.
I got to admit the movie started in …
It’s a Date movie
From 1940, It’s a Date is a surprisingly fun movie to watch. It stars Deanna Durbin, who was once the biggest thing in Hollywood. I did some reading about her yesterday when I watched this story and was amazed at her success in Hollywood and especially with …
Toy Story

Inside Out (Animated Comedy-Drama Movie)
It’s been a long time since I’ve actually been interested in something from Pixar Animation, but since I heard a lot of good reviews about one of their latest works, “Inside Out” I decided to take the risk with it. It turns out I actually enjoyed the movie, and I …
Crazy Eights (R, 2007) movie
I cannot even begin to explain how utterly disappointed I was with this film. Film is not even a word that can describe the atrocity of this HorrorFest movie. I saw that it featured Gabrielle Anwar. And I suppose that because I saw her …
Avatar
I went to watch Avatar last night with my girlfriend at our local cinema’s new screen with 3D. It cost us £8 each to get in which is more expensive than normal at that cinema but the extra was because it was a 3D performance. On our way in …
The Last Samurai movie

The Gift - Psychological Thriller Movie (2015)
I watched the movie, The Gift, because of its interesting trailer and it seemed to be on the cusp of horror (I’m a big fan of horror). I didn’t expect to be extremely impressed by the movie but nearly two hours later, I was definitely satisfied. The Gift is more …
Creepshow movie
This movie is not unlike the Twilight Zone movie. It’s not one continuous narrative, but five short segments that are bookended with a “backstory”. This involves a boy reading a Creepshow comic before his father throws it out.
We zoom into the comic and see the stories inside …
In the Time of the Butterflies
In the Time of the Butterflies with Salma Hayek and Edward James Olmos.
The title offered me no clue as to the theme of the movie and in fact it seemed like a sensitive touchy feely movie. Since I try to stay away from these movies, …

Click Movie review
I went to theatre to watch a comedy movie and ended up choosing The movie “CLICK.”Though this movie is a comedy ,the second half becomes like a drama. Adam Sandler’s acting seems to be funny.It looks more like a real life rather tthan a movie.He is able …
The Fast and the Furious
I like action movie, including car racing. I always like the Fast and the Furious no matter it’s the first movie, the second, the third or the fourth one, I like them all.
The Fast and the Furious is the first movie before the sequel is made. I watch this …
Tale of Despereaux movie
Synopsis: A young mouse and his rat friend swear an oath to help a princess.
What I liked about this movie: While there were quite a few things I didn’t like about this movie (more on that later), I will say the film did have its moments.
For one, Despereaux definitely …
Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

Halloween (2007), slasher film
The director Rob Zombie hasn’t really proven himself with his first two releases, House Of 1000 Corpses and The Devil Rejects. Both movies were mediocre, House Of 1000 Corpses was down right awful. Zombie’s sense of style might not have been ready for the big screen but Dimension Films …
The Changeling movie
“The Changeling,” starring the brilliant George C. Scott, is a ghost story filmed in the 1980s, and the scariest one despite its age. Unlike many contemporary horror movies that rely on blood and gore, “The Changeling” uses more subtle ways, which work much better. The creators of this movie …
Earth Girls are Easy (movie)
When watching the movie Earth Girls are Easy, you might be fooled into thinking you�re going to watch a hilarious movie. The reality is, outside of seeing Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans and Jeff Goldbloom in early roles, there really aren�t many redeeming qualities to this film. Unless of course …

Cowboy Bebop episode 2
In Cowboy Bebop, episode 2, cool dog’s strut is a marvelous excuse of a waste of time. Keeping up with Cowboy Bebop’s unparalleled style, the entire episode seems to be an excuse to write in Rin. Who is our new lovable bioengineered welsh carrier, that seems to hog …
Hairspray (movie)
I watched the movie Hairspray, the new movie and not the original, for kicks and grins. Was I disappointed! I suppose that I should have taken my own cues that I was not too impressed with the first version of Hairspray! Anyway, if you want to listen to pop …
Crank 2 Movie
OK well Crank 2 is not like a super good movie. But I can say it had lots of energy and action in it. Crank 2 really brings the violence the sex, the craziness. This movie overall seems to be very crazy and just a wild ride with not much …

The Sons of Mistletoe (2002 Film)

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 …
