Zathura
Jon Favreau, the director of Elf, couldn’t have outdone himself; Elf was simply too adorable. That siad, Zathura, his most recent children’s story, was much better than I anticipated. The special effects were a little chessy, particularly the malfunctioning robot and the entrance of the stranded astronaut. The child …

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
I’m not much of an animated movie fan. I love watching movies with real people in it, not cartoons! I think those animated movies are just plain childish. Sometimes, what is funny to a child may no longer be that funny in the adult context. But, I gotta hand …
Movie : Clash of the Titans
I recently heard about the new Clash of the Titans movie that is supposed to be coming out at theaters soon. I’m not big on movie re-makes. But, seeing the previews did make me want to see the original 1981 version again so I was glad when I could …
Dead End movie
This movie is really a little gem. A darkly comic, sometimes shocking and incredibly simple horror comedy is perhaps overlooked by the masses, but should be easy enough to track down and enjoy on DVD now days.
The strength of the film lies with its simplicity. A family, on …
Babel (2007 film)
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is a director of real life, concentrating on characters and their usual, yet heartbreaking, devastating problems. He is an artist that paints with grief, melancholia and tragedy, wrapping it all in romance. Babel is his most exceptional human tale.

Amusement, horror film by John Simpson
Direct to video horror movies tend to get crap now-a-days. There is a good reason for that. The film either follows the same foot steps as every other PG-13 rated horror film or it copies off of an original way too much. Amusement falls in both of these categories …
Ocean’s Eleven
I am a huge fan of all of the Ocean’s movies, Ocean’s eleven probably being my favorite of the three so far. What I love about this movie is that the makers never forget that this movie if made up of STARS and every single characters gets to …
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
This movie is simply hilarious. Steve Martin and Michael Caine shine as two con artists who at first team up and then start competing with each other. Each time I watch it, I laugh all anew, even though I know what’s coming, and I can tell that both actors …

Motion Picture “Dirty Dancing”

A new daylight for James Bond here played by a completely unknown actor named Timothy Dalton. I am one of a minority of people who can’t for the life of me understand what is so terrible about his appearances in this and the next Bond film. I think people …
The Lobster (2015 Film)
Never in my life had I felt very weird and astonished at the same time after watching a film. A lot of times I felt very weird and strange though, one after watching Paolo Sorrentino’s 2015 film Youth, however, not feeling astonished at the same but rather awkward and looking …
The Trip to Bountiful (1985)
This movie is so unusual, so unlike your typical Hollywood. Despite that, it has won an Oscar. A well-deserved Oscar, I must say.
Hollywood worships youth, beauty, riches. “The Trip to Bountiful” has a poor old lady for the main character, and the story focuses on her, from the beginning …
X-Men: Days of Future Past (movie)
One of the movies that I went to see fairly recently was the latest in the X-Men series, which was X-Men: Days of Future Past. Missing it would not have been an option for me since I loved watching the animated series and reading the comics growing up, the …

Bottoms Up
I came across the movie Bottoms Up on one of my movie channels last night and didn’t know what to think of it. I did discover the film was better than I thought it would be but still wasn’t the greatest comedy ever either.
The movie, which stars Paris Hilton …
Creep (2014 horror film)
This was easily one of my all time favorite horror films I have ever seen. I feel that the camera work and the acting from Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice were simply amazing. If you are someone who enjoys found footage style films, you’ll enjoy this one a lot. In …
The Glass House Movie
This movie has a really nice title but it’s hype and mystery isn’t at all what it seems to be. This movie features 2 young orphans who are taken in by their guardians who were really close friends of their parents and of their family as well; at first …
Happy Feet
My mom and dad bought Happy Feet for my little girl to watch and it couldn’t have been a better purchase. She just loves this movie. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing.
Between the melody and rhythm of the music and the contrast of colors on the movie, it …
The Back Up Plan 2010 movie
The Back-Up Plan starring Jennifer Lopez and Alex O’Loughlin has a catchy subtitle: fall in love. get married. have baby Not necessarily in that order. The thing is, that because movies have to happen in less than a few hours, and the time span of this particular movie has …

Movie “Salt” (2010)
I was excited to see this film because the previews looked fun. A female James Bond who may or may not be a double agent and it stars Angelina Jolie. How great does that sound? Well the movie had a great premise but the end …
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 …
Film “Session 9″ (2001)

Movie Beowulf (2007)

Whats Your Number (2011 Romance Comedy Movie)
I initially ignored the movie “What’s Your Number” because I heard a few bad reviews about it, and I realised that it didn’t get a very good rating. This was even though I’ve always thought that the comedy actress Anna Faris was very funny.
I decided to watch it recently …
Delta Farce movie
I have to admit, I always liked Larry the Cable Guy as a stand-up comedian but his movies, though somewhat dumb, are pretty good.
The movie Delta Farce is definitely a good example of this.
Larry, Bill Engvall and D.J. Qualls play a group of army reservists who are called up …
Bruno
I was torn into two pieces by this movie. I didn’t want to see it at first because I thought it would be extremely stupid. And I believed this due to Sacha Baron Cohen’s appearances on television shows as “Bruno.” The character himself was not funny at all, to …
Murderous Affair: Carolyn Warmus story
I watched this movie on Lifetime movie network a couple weeks ago. Overall I really like the movie. I thought it had very good actors in it, and I think that is what made the movie so good. I don’t remember much it in detail but overall I do …
Australia movie
The main actress of the movie “Australia”, Nicole Kidman described it as “the Australian version of Gone with the Wind”. I like to think that “Australia” is a cross version between two modern movies - “Titanic” and “Peal Harbour” - because the movie concept seems to thread on the …
500 Days of Summer movie
First of all, an admission. I had not heard anything about this film and would normally not see a romcom at the cinema. I only went because there was a free preview showing through Guardian Soulmates (strangely apt to see a romcom about failed relationships as a dating event). …
Spider-Man 3
In order to give proper respect to new and old Spider-Man fans, I feel it good to do a little review. Spider Man appeared on the comic book scene in the early 1960’s. Peter Parker wore nerdy eye glasses and was a photogropher for the Daily News. Harry Osborne …
The Day After Tomorrow
After watching The Day After Tomorrow, I have come to believe in goodness again. This movie has a great storyline, telling us how man is corrupt and only long for their self-interest and that is why the earth must die. I am not going to ruin the movie for …

Goodbye First Love by Mia Hansen-Love (2012 film)
Movies draw on snippets of reality to make us closer to life itself when we watch, to condition our minds to believe. How reality can arise from a movie so clearly that it overwhelms is a rare experience. Very few movies are able to touch on that …
Ant-Man, 2015 Action, Science Fiction Movie
Much the same as the majority of the Marvel lovers, I didn’t care for the idea of Ant man when it was declared by Marvel. I thought the idea was very silly and faltering on the grounds and I thought “In what manner becoming littler be heroic?” particularly in correlation …
Disney’s Robin Hood
Anyone who knows me knows what a huge fan of the Robin Hood legend I am. Those same people know what a huge Disney fan I am also. I should be in hog heaven then, when, along comes the marriage of both into one feature animated film.
All I can …
