This movie had made me be more careful about the movies I check out with netflix. I did not know too much about this film before I watched it. I had only seen the trailer and it did not look too bad. To make sure I …

Edgar Burroughs is one of the most filmed authors of all time; what is unique about that in general is the fact that it is due to only one of his books - “Tarzan”, while always is adapted the first book and never the more fantastic and wacky adventures …

My family and I went to see Over The Hedge and we found it to be a good movie. It does seem like this year that all the movies in the theaters for kids have been about animals, Chicken Little, Madagascar, The Wild, and now Over The Hedge. I …

The best way to describe “Virgin Territory” is a sort of young and funny version of “First Knight”. What is interesting in this movie is that the lead actors, Hayden Christensen and Misha Barton used this movie as a way to open their path for a Hollywood career.
At the …

I was looking for movies my oldest daughter could watch on our Netflix player and came across an older one “Daffy Duck’s Movie: Fantastic Island.”
This film is essentially a spoof of the old Fantasy Island show that used to be on TV (which my daughter is too young to …

I had some free time this weekend while hanging out with my youngest daughter (it was raining out or I would have taken her outside instead). While taking care of her, I ended up watching a movie from the 1950s, Night and the City.
I had heard of this movie …

One of my friends had been nagging me to watch the movie “Shortbus” for several weeks, but I kept putting it off mostly because I did not have the time to actually sit and watch a movie. However, some time ago, we had both managed to watch the movie …

“Project X” is one of the most exciting movies I’ve watched since the beginning of the summer. Funny enough, even though I’ve been more interested in action movies, this is more along the lines of teenage and college humour. In fact, the movie was actually one of those teen …

I …

Jennifer Garner stars in this 2004 movie and I love catching it over again in DVD as well. She plays this particular woman whom has ‘airs above her’ and she is certainly someone that is going to learn her lesson the most hardest way. That’s because she will …

I must have seen this movie advertise only once or twice before it hit theaters. In fact, in the few times I saw it advertise, I was almost completely sure that the movie would be just another mediocre suspense which Hollywood tried to shove on the average movie goer. …

Columbo: It’s All in the Game is rather memorable for a couple of reasons. Of course, there’s the great portrayal of the lead character by Peter Falk, but that’s constant throughout the entire history of the series. Rather, the wonder of this specific episode is Faye Dunaway …

This latest installment of the Indiana Jones series is my least favorite because of several things. It’s not as fun and entertaining; Harrison Ford as Henry “Indiana” Jones is no longer as hot as he was in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark”; and I don’t like the story …

This is the second night in a row that I have sat down to watch a Scooby Doo movie with my daughter. And, I will say Scooby Doo and the Legend of the Vampire is by far the best Scooby Doo movie I’ve ever seen.
This movie, which takes place …

Due Date is a comedy film that I really enjoyed, despite going into it with a slight bit of pessimism due to previous reviews I’d heard.
It was much better than I expected, and had a number of laugh out loud moments that make me want to watch it again …

The movie is structured as a classic epic movie about love and war. Although this one is more about the loving than the fighting. The story is set in the time when …

I loved the movie “Brokeback Mountain” as I paid attention to the fact that it was very subtle in giving the decade that each part was to be about. In the sixties, being gay was totally taboo. Men did marry, so as not to appear gay. If the men …

When I saw the previews for this movie I knew I wanted to see it. You, me and Dupree didn’t let me down. I laughed so hard I nearly made puddles beneath my chair. Kate Hudson plays the disgruntled new wife so well you’d swear every …

This is a hillarious lesser-known movie about a race to get 2 million dollars. I had never even heard of this movie until a friend brought it into work one night. I had stomach pains by the time it was over from laughing so hard.
It has an amazing cast: …

I didn’t quite know what to expect with this one. Cate Blanchett is one of my favorite actresses, capable of assuming all sorts of roles. Her role as a pedophile (essentially), teacher having an affair with one of her students was rather shocking. But …
