Last Night film
Director Don McKellar brings us a thought provoking, powerful and at times, humorous vision of the last day on earth.
It’s an unusual take on the apocalypse, opting instead to show the very real human tragedy behind the impending disaster. Some sit alone with their own thoughts, others band together …
Short Circuit 1986 Movie
For the longest time, I had completely forgotten about this movie. It used to be one of my favorite films of all time as a child, than I rediscovered it again as an adult for one reason. The Pixar movie, Wall-E. Wall-E really reminded me of Johnny 5 from …

The Dark Knight
Just having watched the movie “The Dark Knight”, I’d say Heath Ledger is a wonderful actor! He did a great job pulling of the character of Joker in the movie. He is brilliant, and I always knew he is a good one when I saw his previous movies, but …
Little Black Book movie
Little Black Book is a romantic comedy movie with a little bit drama in it. The movie was not a successful movie but I found it a so-so movie. It is not a great movie but at the same time, it is not a bad movie either. The movie …
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 …
Lo Movie
Looking through my Netflix for something to watch on a rainy Saturday night, I came across a movie that seemed somewhat strange but also interesting and quirky. It was titled Lo, probably a film that most people have never heard of, it is a story of a young man …
Get Him to the Greek (movie)
I was never a fan of the actor and comedian Russell Brand, and always wondered what other people saw in him, because I just never thought that he was as hilarious as some people would make him out to be. However, after watching him play a cunning drug addict …
13 Conversations About One Thing (R, 2002) movie
If you are looking for a terrific ensemble film with a great storyline, look no further than the movie “13 Conversations About One Thing”. Honestly, I have not put much thought into the title other than to realize that the stories within are interconnected in a really subtle, …
Chicago (2002) movie
If you liked the film Moulin Rouge, which was released around the same period of time in which the movie “Chicago” was released, then you might just like the movie “Chicago”. I was eager to watch it when I saw it advertising since first of all, I didn’t know …
For Pete’s Sake movie
I really get a kick out of For Pete’s Sake, a 1974 movie with Barbra Streisand and Michael Sarrazin. They play a newly married couple just making it from day to day. Pete (Sarrazin) drives a taxi, while Heniretta (Streisand) tends to their apartment and acts essentially …

Movie High School Musical 3
Unfortunatley, my girlfriend found it amusing to drag me out to the cinema to see High School Musical 3. While she found it very amusing, and very entertaining, I myself found it to be a load of cobblers. The film itself was very tacky, and seemed like it was …
Couples Retreat
When I first saw Couples Retreat I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The movie has gotten some pretty bad reviews and has even been in the papers for some racist actions.
Firstly I must say that the producers did a terrible thing when they edited out the …

The Notebook (movie)
With Valentine’s day coming up (or even if you’re reading this after that day), this might be a good movie to check out. The Notebook is the movie version of Nicholas Sparks’ book, as you probably already know. As with all of the other stories that this …
Pearl Harbor Movie
This is my favorite movie of all time, it’s just a very classic movie that in my opinion, is second to the box-office hit Titanic, but I think the production is almost the same and it should be given much credit just like Titanic. Michael Bay did such a …

So the premise of this movie is …
Spider Man
What can I say I just loved the Spider Man man. I think this was the best out of all 3 movies made. This movie was really cool because it shows you how Spider Man becomes Spider Man. I really liked how they showed the whole story about he got …
High School Musical 3: Epic Ending
Disney truly has outdone itself this time with “High School Musical 3.” It is a fitting finish to the entire franchise that spawned such fervor in the preteen/high-schooler-wannabe population, and I am very pleased with the ending. The theaters were packed with people of all ages to see the …

Batman Returns 1992 Movie
With the return of Batman in 1992, I was glad to see Michael Keaton making a return as well. I enjoyed his Batman performance and after hearing rumors of Tom Hanks was going to be Batman, I think he saved the series. And with the return of Batman, two …

The Gravedancers Movie
The Gravedancers was one of the movies released as part of the After Dark Horror Fest. This is a low budget movie that features some B-list actors that probably wouldn’t have been seen by many people if it weren’t for that festival. Though this movie has a few problems, …
Young Sherlock Holmes movie
A surprisingly interesting film about the genius detective. Since the days of Basil Rathbone there have been few exceptions from the rule of failed Sherlock Holmes films, but this is one of those, much because it doesn’t follow a story written by Conan Doyle in the first place. Instead …
Antichrist (2009) movie
My friend told me that this movie won the Cannes Film festival, and even though I did not do my research to find out whether that was true or not, he made it sound interesting enough that I was actually very eager to watch it. Therefore, I managed to …

Movie The Ruins
I was quite disturbed by watching the movie, The Ruins. It is a gore story and in fact, filled with too much gore that made the story loses its plot, personally to me. Honestly speaking, I think this story makes Jeepers Creepers seem like nothingness. But …
Alfred Hitchcock’s ROPE (1948)
Alfred Hitchcock’s —˜Rope’ is usually hailed as a classic among his work, getting on top ten lists and people still being talked about today. Sadly all that seems to be discussed is his famous use of the ten minute take, and the gay subtexts the film exhibits in relation …
Cinderella, Movie (2015)
Many versions of the classic tale of Cinderella have been made and all follow the same storyline with little variation. ‘Cinderella’ (2015), is no exception, however with compelling characters and stunning visuals, I find myself enchanted by the movie. Although I was watching the same story that I’ve seen many …
Troll 2 movie
The movie I am about to review is considered one of the worst movies of all timec called Troll 2.This is for a very good reason.I will give my own personal reasons why the movie is so horrible.
The plot is essentially about Goblins that turn humans into plant-like matter …
Middlemarch (1994), a movie
This beautifully made movie has too many different storylines and subplots to mention them all, so I will only describe several. Dorothea (Juliet Aubrey), a beautiful gentlewoman, is not vain like so many of her class, she has the desire to be of use, to do something good for …
Movie: Breaking and Entering

Not another teen movie
Can you imagine watching a lot of scenes from various films in just one movie? Sounds impossible, however the director Joe Gallen managed to do just this in his original movie with the title “Not another teen movie”.
The storyline of this film consists of a parody of bits and pieces …

A Season for Miracles is a very sweet film from 1999. It was actually one of the holiday classics done yearly by Hallmark movie, so right there you know that it is a quality production. One of the main reasons I tuned in back then was to …

Movie: Rear Window (the original)

This was the …
40 Days and 40 Nights
I was expecting Josh Hartnett to shine in the DVD movie, 40 Days and 40 Nights. Don’t get me wrong; Josh is a darling and he acted really well but the storyline is a real bummer for me.
It starts off with Josh character, Matt being dumped by his super …
DVD UFC II
Royce returns in UFC II to win his second tournament and, although some of the matches are quite good such as Royce vs Pat Smith, this event will be forever known for an overmatched Fred Ettish getting a horrible, one sided beating at the hands of Johnny Rhodes.
Actually, there …
Catch & Release DVD
I have just watched Catch & Release, a new romantic comedy movie starring my favorite actress Jennifer Garner. This story is pretty funny, but it gets boring, with the normal flavor formula being repeated over and over again. I tried to make myself love the movie, but …
