Movie: Alice in Wonderland
Let’s see, Tim Burton directing and Johnny Depp starring. There is absolutely no way the movie Alice in Wonderland would suck.
Wow was I wrong about that.
I didn’t see this movie in the theater for a few reasons and, after seeing it this past weekend, I honestly am glad I …
A Cinderella Story
A Cinderella Story is a really interesting take on the fairy tale of Cinderella.
This movie stars Hilary Duff as the to-be “Cinderella” and Chad Michel Murray as her “prince.” Hilary narrates some of the movie like she is a telling story, which I found to be nice.
The movie …
The Longest Yard (2005): movie
I had not seen the original The Longest Yard, but heard it was a very popular movie. The main reason I went to see the remake which was made in 2005 is that I like Adam Sandler. Sometimes his movies are a little too silly, but I …
Comedy; Kenn Kington; I am Dad
I purchased a comedy DVD called “I Am Dad.” It cost me about 10.00+tax. This DVD is a brilliant combination of comedy and reality, presented by the stylings of comedian Kenn Kington. The DVD is a crown comedy presentation, and is chuck full of the most …
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Lethal Lifestyle movie
Hal Holbrook returns as Wild Bill McKenzie in A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Lethal Lifestyle. With Raymond Burr unavailable, several movies were made with other attorneys, like this one. Wild Bill is a cowboy, so we see him on his ranch and on horseback. …
Tenacious D (movie)
“Tenacious D” was a movie that I watched recently on a cable television channel. I can remember seeing the movie being promoted when it had just come out, but I had dismissed it completely because I thought that it was going to be silly, and I generally don’t find …
Insurgent Movie (2015)
Insurgent, based on the book of the same name by Veronica Roth, is the sequel to 2014’s Divergent. From the trailers shown, I had hopes that the film would be better than the first. However, it ultimately falls short of expectations and represents a step back for the franchise.
Insurgent starts …
Swing Vote movie
I am fairly jaded and cynical when it comes to Hollywood. If there’s a movie made about politics, I immediately jump to the conclusion that its trying to shove its left wing ideology down my throat. A lot of times, this is the case, not so however, …
A Storm in Summer,2000 movie
This movie is a real gem. Peter Falk plays Abel Shaddick, an angry old man who seems to hate everyone and everything. However, Falk manages to make his character interesting rather than totally unlikable: we want to know the reason of his anger, and as we suspect that the …
Breakin All The Rules Movie
Breakin all the rules
This movie is basically about how the wrong people are in relationships together and then they eventually get with their soulmate or so it seems. That was my interpretation of it but i am sure if someone else watched it, they will say another story. Why? …
Footloose movie
When I was younger I wanted to watch the movie “Footloose” very badly. I was a small child in the early nineties, and would sometimes see the movie going on some Sundays on one of the local channels, but ironically I never got to see it until I was …
Movie Funny Girl
I recently watch the movie Funny Girl, I have been a fan of Barbra Streisand since I was eight. I watched because I had never seen it before, which was shocking because I have seen a lot of Barbra Streisand movies.
This movie was phenomenal, it was beyond entertaining. The …
The 2003 Vampire Movie Alucard
I am yet to recall ever seeing a movie such as Alucard which screamed low budget. I never did watch it in the theatre, and for that I am indeed thankful; however, I did borrow a DVD from a friend to watch what I thought might turn out to …

Species III (2004)
Third in the franchise of the species series, this one did not live up to the hype and instead of crashing and burning in the theatres trying to rake in the box office bucks, it went directly to DVD, and that is what you call ’smart’. Now, if you …
Friday the 13th Part 6
Friday the 13th part 6 isn’t my favorite, but there are a few scenes that I really love. One thing that I loved is that two 1980’s actors from soap operas appear in the movie. The first is a man who played Duncan on As the World Turns. On …

The Phantom (1996)
The Phantom is a live action movie made from the pages of the comic strip that used to and still comes in to papers. While the cartoon version was a bit more successful than the comic strip to appeal to the viewers, more particularly the children, the movie failed …
Elvira Mistress of the Dark
You have to be at least my age to be able to remember Elvira hosting B-rated horror movies on television back in the 80s. However, kids can gain an understanding of her character by renting her classic movie, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
Overall, it’s kind of a dumb movie. …
School of Rock movie

The Bone Collector movie
Though I don’t like dark movies much, I watched The Bone Collector recently and to my surprise liked it. The movie starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie is a very nicely made movie. The movie through out which the leading actors do solve a case with very clever thinkings …
30 Days of Night
As far as vampire flicks go, the movie 30 Days of Night has a lot of potential. However, it falls a bit short.
When I saw the previews for the movie, I just had to see it. After all, what can be scarier than a group of vampires visiting an …
The Thing from Another World movie
This film was directed by Howard Hawks back in the 1960s, but for some reason the famous director let an unknown filmmaker take all the credit. Perhaps it wasn’t good for is rumour to be affiliated with a story like this, I’m not sure.
Anyway, the plot centres around a …
Twilight (2008) movie
This much anticipated movie based on Stephenie Mayer’s novel “Twilight” was a huge disappointment to me since I have read the book. I fell in love with the book when I first read it and couldn’t wait for the movie to come out when the book was said to …
Interview with a Vampire
When the movie Interview with a Vampire came out, I thought it was a fantastic film. And, I still do think it is better than some of the so-called vampire movies that are out today (like Twilight). But, I have to tell you, I watched it again last night …
Stardust (2007)
This is a truly magical fantasy movie, one that earns a solid “10″ rating. It’s unique and loads of fun to watch. This movie keeps moving and doesn’t really stop until the very end. There’s action galore, ranging from sword fights to a flying airship landing on a lake. …
Wall-E
I took my family to see Wall-E. We all loved it the robots are so likable and cute. My 5 year old daughter squeals every time she hears the name Wall-E. I had to laugh when I saw the predicted future and I really think it will be like …

“Hot Tub Time Machine” (2010) Film
The Movie is called “Hot Tub Time Machine” that title alone tells you what type of movie it is. No one would name an Oscar contender something so stupid. This is a movie whose producers are aware that it is a comedy and it is a …

One of the thing I enjoyed most about the first Iron Man, was its ability to maintain …
Avatar (Blu-Ray)
I go crazy all the time whenever I watch Avatar. I watch it often but when I watched it on Blu-ray, its like watching it for the first time again, it is definitely a showpiece up to the very end. It is hard to find a footing to …
Lt. Robin Crusoe USN
This is not one of Disney’s most well acclaimed live action films to emerge from the 1960’s. Most critics pretty well abhor it, though, suprisingly, it was one of the most popular films from the year it was released.
Disney favorite Dick Van Dyke stars as Robin Crusoe a navy …

Vampire in Brooklyn,1995 movie
I guess the problem with this movie is that it cannot decide what it is: a horror or comedy. It is not scary enough to for the former and not funny enough for the latter. Eddie Murphy is playing the main character (and Eddie is not exactly vampire material, …
Killer Diller movie
Killer Diller, a 1948 movie doesn’t really feel like a movie. What it feels more like is a cavalcade of talent, African Americans who could really put on a show. Having never seen this before, I was amazed by the show and pretty much enjoyed it all.
Again, …
