“Up in the Air” (2009 film)
Director Jason Reitman, in his third feature (after “Juno” and “Thank You for Smoking”) delivers “Up in the Air,” a more heartfelt and poignant effort than either of its predecessors-stylized in a similar way, but much more honest in its pathos-tinged comedy. It works better for me story-wise because …
Friended to Death, movie (2014)
Watching a dreary film like Friended to Death has been a total waste of my time and energy. Directed by Sarah Smick and starring Ryan Hansen, James Immekus, Zach McGowan and others, this film has failed to keep me glued to it. Perhaps the director had aimed at shooting …
RomeoXJuliet Episode 1
RomeoXJuliet is a Japanese Anime based on William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, it’s very loosely based on it and there are many major changes to the story’s plot and characters. Episode 1 starts out with Lord Leontes Montague slaughtering the Capulet family except for a …
Resident Evil 3: Extinction
Ok. Why does it some like most movies nowadays focus on destroying the world? Well, Resident Evil Extinction presents a barren wasteland of a world, taking place mostly in the desert and Las Vegas. Alice does mildly explain the bare bones …

The Man in the Iron Mask Movie (1998)
When I think about the Three Musketeers, I always remember the movie “The Man in the Iron Mask”. This stars Leonardo DiCaprio(King Louis XIV / Philippe), Jeremy Irons(Aramis), John Malkovich (Athos), Gérard Depardieu (Porthos) and Gabriel Byrne ( D’Artagnan).
This movie portrays the true story of the King of France, …
Return of the Pink Panther
Peter Sellars returns to the roll of Inspector Clouseau after having seen him last in the popular Shot in the Dark. The plot of Return of the Pink Panther finds things pretty well back to normal. Dreyfus is still Clouseau’s boss, even after having taken drastic measures to dispose …
Miss Conception
I had never heard of the movie Miss Conception until I came acrossed it on Netflix the other day. And, to be honest, when I decided to get it, I didn’t have any idea what it was I was getting.
As it turns out, it was actually a pretty good …
Unfaithful Movie
This movie I found scary in a way that it’s hard to get involved danger and when you’re playing with fire there’s always bad karma around the corner for you, not only is it inappropriate but when you’re unfaithful to someone, the guilt and the conscience just doesn’t feel …
American Psycho
Christian Bale shines in this movie, being a very ‘bad’ person, if you get what I mean. I think he’s a real psycho deal in this movie, and his character is really so convincingly bad, that I think most good looking guys like him are real bad. This …
48 Hours (1982)
48 Hours, directed by Walter Hill is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The original release date was December 8, 1982 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Action/Comedy/Crime/Drama/Thriller and stars Nick Nolte as Jack Cates, Eddie Murphy as Reggie Hammond, Annette …
Heath Ledger’s A Knights Tale
Heath Ledger was best at his old-fashioned roles I think. He could play the gentleman, the rogue, even the villain, but his most touching films are ones that he is dawning an old-fashioned tunic, and this is one of those. This was the first movie of his that I …
Hot Shots Part Deux
It’s been a while since I’ve seen the sequel to the movie Hot Shots; Hot Shots Part Deux. And I have to admit, after seeing it again this morning, it’s as good as I remember it being.
While the first Hot Shots movie made fun of the film Top Gun, …
Hulk vs. Wolverine (2009)
This is a classic battle that has managed to cross over from the pages of the comic books and finally on to DVD. The battle between mighty powers created by Marvel and the universe that they have created. In this animated movie, you get to decide who will emerge …
The Incredible Incredibles movie
My favorite Walt Disney produced movie to date, has to be The Incredibles. How anyone could not find sheer enjoyment and entertainment while watching this unique and colorful flick, I would not know. It is such a cool idea for a movie if you ask me! …
Scary Movie 4
After seeing Scary Movie 4 this past weekend, I was glad to finally see a movie series that gets better with time. Since dumping the Wayan Brothers prior to the third movie, the plots in the Scary Movie series have gotten more mature and focus more on movie spoofs …
Forever Lulu movie
Forever Lulu is a 2000 movie that took forever to be released. In fact, the independent picture never did make a real theatrical run and was ultimately released on DVD. However, while foreign titles went under the film name of Forever Lulu, in the United States, the …
Movie: “Stardust” (2007)
“Stardust” is a sweeping family fantasy based on a book by Neil Gaiman and narrated by Sir Ian McKellen. Although the plot was a bit confusing in places, I love this beautiful film; it’s one of those movies you can watch over and over and still enjoy.
Tristan (Charlie Cox) …
The Weight of Water (R, 2001)
It took me a while to get around to watching “The Weight of Water” with Sean Penn. I am a Penn fan. But this film’s synopsis just seemed so trite and boring. Wow, was I wrong. The movie is based on a …
American Pie 2 movie
I got bored Friday night and ended up watching American Pie 2 on one of our movie channels. I haven’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember much of it. It turns out there’s a reason why it wasn’t that memorable.
The first American Pie movie is a …
Legally Blonde 2
In Legally Blonde 2, we see Reese character, Elle Woods, already embarking on a law career and she presents her case one time when she finds out that she has been fired. Luke Wilson still stars in this 2nd part of the movie and she goes along to another …
1408
I always wait for these suspense horror movies to come out. I just had to go see 1408 as soon as it hit the theatres. I love John Cusack in movies and i like this type of movie so i thought this movie may be pretty good to go …
Number 23
Although Jim Carrey is known for his comedy movies, he did an amazing job in this movie. I was a little reluctant because I didn’t know how good he would be in this type of movie and the previews looked good I was a little worried about him being …
Spongebob Squarepants Seascape Capers DVD
This DVD has quite an assortment of Spongebob episodes to choose from. Including classic episodes like the Bubble Stand and Squid’s Day off. It’s a good way to unwind after a long day at work.
My favorite episode on this DVD is “Spongebob Meets the Strangler, where Spongebob turns in …
Perfect Stranger
This movie kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. You do need to kind of pay attention while watching though because once it gets to the end of the movie if you haven’t payed attention you aren’t going to understand it. Halle Berry did an amazing job …
Jawbreaker (1999) Movie
One of my favorite movies when I was younger was Jawbreaker. This movie shows a typical mean-girls’ group who went to great lengths to play a prank on their good friend. This came out in 1999 when I was still in college, so watching this with girlfriends was …
Sweet November movie
In this remake of the 60s film by the same name, ‘Sweet November’ features a heart warming story of acceptance, tenderness, and love on many different levels of being.

Movie: Escanaba in Da Moonlight
I ended up watching a movie last night that my brother once recommended to me; Escanaba in Da Moonlight. He thought it was the funniest movie ever made. I hate to say it, but I just don’t see what he liked about it.
OK, he’s a deer hunter and maybe …
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I am of the opinion that this movie is one of the greatest drug stories ever told. Johnny Depp and Benicio DelToro star in Terry Gilliam’s adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s cult novel. The movie opens with the two lead characters Raoul Duke (Depp) and his attorney (Del Toro), …
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
I’ve been eying this movie since it was released in the U.S. last December. So, when it’s finally showed here in our area I did not hesitate to watch. Well, the trailer itself would give you some curiosity what is the movie all about. Actually, I haven’t read the …
Netflix DVD Rental Online
Netflix beats the heck out of any local video store - it is destined to become the WalMart of the video rental world! I love it and all my friends to whom I’ve recommended the service have thanked me! Here’s the deal: for less than the …
The Thrill of It All movie
This is another of my very top favorite Doris Day films, and it co-stars James Garner. These two make a great film pair, and I wish they’d done more than this movie and Move Over, Darling.
In this flick, Day stars as Beverly Boyer, happy housewife and mother. …
Biutiful Movie
The director of this movie is a very famous Mexican director who has made many previous movies with the same basic structure in all of his films. He will take a bunch of disconnected or interconnected stories and then weave them together to make a movie. In …
The Back Up Plan Movie (2010)
This is a hilarious movie that most ladies if not all should watch! This movie is all about a girl (Jennifer Lopez) quitting the dating scene and decides she just wants a baby, thus going to a clinic and having in-vitro done on her, she now is pregnant but …
watch-movies.net
I’ve been trying to find a website where I can watch a movie over the internet but I couldn’t find. But one of my friend told me about a site where I can watch a movie for free. She introduced me to a site: www.watch-movies.net. You can browse and …
S1m0ne
“S1m0ne” represent a different type of movie for Al Pacino. I believe that Al chose to make this science fiction movie in order not to be linked always to the usual type of characters. This movie could be best described as one of the big failures for Al Pacino …
The Leopard (1963 film by Luchino Visconti)
I take great delights from viewing films based on fine literature. Mostly I like to see the author’s descriptions translated into the picture as well as the embodiment of the characters, which altogether makes for an extended annotation to the book. I came upon a criterion copy …
A history of violence
Painfully powerfull. In a world where special effects have replaced good old fashion acting and writing this movie stands alone and swings at the audiences mind. Knocking us back to a world where good old fashion sweat and curage rule!
The timing of this thriller holds the audience suspended …
Batman Begins
his was a brilliantly made entry, not only in the realm of comic book characters coming to the big screen, but in the Batman mythos itself. Sure, there were the previous films with Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney, all well acted. But, with the exception of the …
Moulin Rouge (2001 Movie)
Moulin Rouge by director Baz Luhrman is a movie built around its soundtrack…or at least, that’s how it feels to me. Each scene seems designed so that it can be summed up with a song. Fortunately the soundtrack is actually pretty good - many of the songs are great, …
Final Destination IV movie
I almost didn’t finish this movie when I watched it with my friends in September of 2009. It was just released a few days ago, and so the cinema at Strawberry Hills mall here in Surrey, Canada was filled to the rafters.
It was released in 3-D so …
Made of Honor
When you have got two great movies in a row, you end up comparing one with the other. One will end up being very good and the other one is less good. “Made of Honor” was labelled by many critics as the less good movie of the actor, Patrick …
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Out of curiosity in college, I watched this movie. That was because of my professor in Graphics and Special Effects who recommended this to the class saying this has a good special effects sample. Well, it did not fail me. The transformation of humans into grotesque …
Bedtime Stories movie
I have long been looking forward to seeing the movie “Bedtime Stories” starring the comedic actor Adam Sandler. However, I didn’t want to see it in the theatres when it came out because at the time I thought it might have been a
children’s movie as well as I did …
Alien Nine Episode One
Alien Nine is one of those awesome anime series you only hear about and buy on a whim. After you watch all four episodes and read the mangas you spend several weeks kicking yourself for not looking into it sooner. Well that’s how I felt when I walked away …
Movie Midnight Express
Midnight Express is one of the most dramatic movies I have seen. This is the true story of Billy Hayes who has been jailed for drug trafficking in Turkey. Within the walls of the prison, Billy Hayes (played by late Brad Davis) will live a lifetime nightmare. The films …
Movie The Re-Animator
The The Re-Animator is a twisted and very gory movie. This movie shows you what classic horror was all about. It has death, zombies, and very crazy experiments done in the The Re-Animator’s lab. The movie has a very spooky and sad feel to it. You get the feeling …
