“Howl’s Moving Casle” (2004 Film)
Recently I watched a Japanese animation cartoon director by Hayao Miyazaki called “Howl’s Moving Castle”. My younger brother is into these sorts of films and I have to admit that they are very intriguing and entertaining to watch as well, and Hayao Miyazaki is also an excellent director who …

Mean Girls
Mean Girls starring Rachel McAdams and Lindsay Lohan is one of my all time favorite teen and girl movies. The movie, which I saw when I was in my college, is a really a thoroughly enjoyable movie. It is a bit different from other teen comedies or girly movies …

A couple of days ago I had the pleasure to watch again the remake of the 1985 film “Fright Night” , another remake of an old movie with Colin Farrell in one of the main roles. I liked it as much as the first time and let me tell …
Repo Men Movie (2010)
In the future, even the most critical organs in our body will be made artificially, and because of the high price tags, they will also be subjected to credit. And when credit is due, people sometimes could not pay. And when they do not pay, what they bought will …

The Reader
I went to watch The Reader pretty recently, and I must say that although the movie is quite alright, it could have been better. That’s what I personally feel. But make no mistake on the fact that Kate Winslet has done a good job once more and that …

Step Up 2 Movie
I didn’t like this movie as much as I liked the first one. This is the sequel to Step Up and I think one of the main reasons I liked that movie was because of Channing Tatum. In this sequel, Channing Tatum is only in the movie for like …

The Gospel of John
The Gospel of John is my favourite of all four gospels because, rather than focussing on historical facts like the other three, it goes deeper into Jesus’s teachings and philosophy. From the very beginning, it tries to explain the world through what later is was going to become the …
Duplex - (starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore)
Duplex is total hilarious! I watch this movie and I just feel that movies like this really crack me up; in a funny and sort of fun way. How would you feel when you move into a particular Duplex and you find an elderly woman whom is so …
17 Again movie
The choice of actor Zack Efron to do the movie ‘17 Again’ really caught me by surprise. After finish working on the last movie of ‘High School Musical’, Efron declared that he wanted to work on movies with far more challenging roles. In all honestly, I found that there …
Serendipity (2001)
John Cusack (Jonathan Trager) and Kate Beckinsale (Sara Thomas) star in this dramatic romantic comedy that is just phenomenal. The both meet a department store where they met each other on the issue of a pair of gloves. Dare I say, I just love Kate’s smile.
A mutual attraction is …
The Fog movie
An underrated piece from John Carpenter, made between Halloween and Escape from New York. The story, that involves a fog attacking people in a small coast town in America, may be a little bit mundane, but the way Carpenter creates moods and scare his audience here is simply top …

Eight Legged Freaks
My wife and I were in the mood for a good movie the other day but didn’t want to watch a new release just yet (we were both tired out). So, I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks instead.
When I started watching this movie, I thought it …
A Monster Calls (2016 Fantasy Drama Film)
Some films are mistakenly advertised as fantasy movies - and you expect to watch these movies with that fairytale-ish ending you thought you deserved but instead you end up crying your heart out because of just how sad they are. I remember watching a 2007 film called Bridge to Terabithia …
High Fidelity
“High Fidelity” is definitely the most renowed John Cusack’s movie. I must admit that he did a great job in this movie for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe. In an interview, Cusack admitted that this movie is also one of his favourites too.
What makes “High Fidelity” …
Fly Me to the Moon
My daughter has been at her grandparents the last couple of nights while I’ve been keeping her mom and new sister company at the hospital. But, she was getting homesick so I brought her home with me tonight and watched a movie with her “Fly Me to the Moon.”
I …
Love Affair movie
To be honest, I cannot imagine why nobody would not like this film. Love Affair is a remake of the Deborah Kerr and Carey Grant blockbuster, An Affair to Remember. In fact, some of my friends, pretending to be experts at good old Hollywood romances, had somehow …
Happy Feet DVD
We got this out on dvd the other night and my 5 year old was entranced by it. Our hero, Bumble, is an Emperor penguin who can’t sing - all emperor penguins have to sing a heart song as part of their mating ritual so his mother …
Omar (drama movie)
I had my doubts about watching the movie Omar even though it was recommended to me. I didn’t know much about it except that it was set somewhere in the Middle East, and I was truly tired of watching depressing films and news of people struggling to be themselves and …
The Village - Movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan
The Village is one of the later movies of M. Night Shyamalan. I have for a long time believed that the beauty of Shyamalan’s movies was dwindling but this movie was among those that were better than you would first thought.
In all truthfulness the movie started out very …
Ice Age: Continental Drift movie
To be perfectly honest, I was not expecting the fourth Ice Age movie to be any good at all. The movie actually pleasantly surprised me by exceeding my expectations. Needless to say, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Scrat are just as funny as they were the first three times.
The …
Marie Antionette: The Movie
If you have done your history homework, you would be familiar with the name Marie Antoinette. In case you aren’t, she was the queen of France during the French Revolution. She was famous, but not for good reasons.
Marie Antoinette has been one of my favorite movies of all …
The Hangover Part III film
I was a huge fan of the first “Hangover” film, but not so impressed with the second film titled “The Hangover Part II” so going into this movie, I really wasn’t sure what to expect with “The Hangover Part III”. I had heard a few reviews before I …
The 40 Year Old Virgin
The 40 Year Old Virgin with Steve Carell.
This is one funny movie. If it were a 40 year old woman virgin, it would definitely not be that funny; but putting a normal looking man into this predicament is full of hilarious opportunities.
…
The Emperor’s Club movie
I am reviewing the movie, The Emperor’s Club, which is a movie that is about three years old or so. I am a huge fan of movies that center around professors in an academic setting. I have always had a passion for teaching, but do not think I …
I Love You, Phillip Morris (movie)
Recently I have been going through some movies on a blog that a person listed as the funniest movies that they had seen that were released within the past two years. Well, the movie “I Love You, Phillip Morris” was one of them, and I only got to see …
Betrayal movie
From 1974, Betrayal is a movie I didn’t enjoy watching and which I don’t ever want to see again. I’m actually very sorry I sat through it this one time. The thing is that the description on the DVD case indicated it was another movie called Betrayal, …
The Fountain DVD Movie
The movie, The Fountain was from the year 2006, and only now, did I find the time to watch it on DVD, due to my friend’s recommendation. These movie stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz, and this is basically a love story.
The characters of these both lovebirds are …
The Rugrats Movie
I’ve said this once before, but any movie that will keep my 3-year-old daughter occupied for 90 minutes is one that will always receive high praise from me.
The Rugrats movie is one of those films.
I bought her the movie about a week ago as a bribe. She had spent …
I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry
This is Quite possibly the funniest movie I have ever seen. The stereotypes one would expect in a movie like this are there and are (in some places) slightly over done, but they do not take away from the movie overall. Rarely does a hilarious movie succesfully carry a …
When In Rome Movie (2010)
If you’re looking for a romantic comedy just like Letters to Juliet, then this movie is even better! This has so much comedic parts actually than romantic parts while the setting is set in the lovely country of Rome. The plot is actually about a girl (Kristen Bell) who …
Where It’s At movie
Where It’s At is another movie from the sixties about the generation gap, in an odd sort of way. In truth, I don’t like this movie. It’s just a little too off-beat for me. I didn’t like the characters, I don’t like their evolution, and there’s not …
Until They Sail movie
I can’t believe I’ve never seen Until They Sail until now. As a fan of Paul Newman, I’ve tried to see most of his films at least once, but somehow this 1957 black and white film slipped through the cracks. I’m even more amazed because of the …
p.s. I Love You Movie
Sad, Heartwarming and Hopeful
Before the credits start Holly (Hillary Swank) and Gerry (Gerard Butler) are having an argument that almost anyone who has ever been in a relationship would recognize. She is passionate about the subject and he hasn’t a clue as to what they are fighting about. …
Thor Movie (2011)
This movie was much talked-about and I wasn’t really into these type of movies since they’re much more of a guy’s type of movie but since there wasn’t anything else showing in the cinema except for Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Beastly, of course I opted to watch …
Shawshank Redemention
We own a DVD of the movie based on Stepehn Kings short story called the The Shawshank Redemption. The Shawshank Redemption takes place in the 1940’s, with Andrew Dufrense played by Tim Robbins having been wrongly accused of murdering his wife and her lover. He was sent to Shawshank …
The Eclipse
The opinions concerning Michelangelo Antonioni are very divided. Some think he’s the greatest master of cinema ever, while others think he’s too pretentious and never really learned how to make a film properly. Personally I am somewhere between those two. I think his earlier work such as The Cry, …
Jesse Stone: Night Passage movie
From 2006, Tom Selleck returned to TV with Jesse Stone: Night Passage, a movie I’d just as soon as have not seen. I’ve now seen two of these movies, and they have to be among the most depressing productions known to mankind. What possible thrill did Selleck …
