The Reaping Movie
Hilary Swank is one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, so it wasn’t a surprise that I would the movie. It’s really dark and scary, especially since I watched it alone and right before I was going to bed. I think the reason why it wasn’t a hit in the …

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015 Film)
2015 was a historic year for me. Simply because it was the time when I took filmmaking by heart. So many good movies were released last year, so many that I was spoiled by the scarcity of quality films this year.
Last year at this exact point, Mad Max: Fury Road …

American Pie: Book of Love Movie
I like American Pie movies, but so far this is the most low-budget and low-cost American Pie movie I have ever seen. All of the characters are not famous and there isn’t one original character that was shown here unlike the first American Pie movie, but I still watched …

Frozen 2013 Animation (Movie)
After my cousin told me that an animation movie titled “Frozen” is leading the box-office. I knew this movie had some great odds of getting on top of my best animation movies list with “Tangled”. Tangled was released in 2010 with a great funny, hooking story and heart conquering …
Salt ( 2010 Movie )
I was really anticipating this film ever since I first saw its trailer. It opened today and I hurriedly watched the last full show. The movie just got a passing mark in Rottentomatoes.com. It says ” the plot was predictable and ludicrous”.
I dissent.
Evelyn Salt ( Angelina …
The Island by Michael Bay
The Island is a futurist movie directed by Michael Bay, with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. I saw it on dvd but would have preferred to see it in the theatre. The special effects are mind-blowing and the stunts are extremely powerful.

It was the first time I had seen the movie in years and it was every bit as good …
“The Great Debaters” Movie on DVD
I looked forward to watching “The Great Debaters” because I hoped to pick up some pointers on how to argue more persuasively. I thought it would be like the movie, “Akeelah and the Bee”, which involves the quest of a young girl to win the national spelling bee. After …

The Devil Wears Prada
Generally speaking, I don’t much go for the obvious chick flicks. There are some that I like, but it doesn’t happen to be a genre that I’m in the mood for a lot. And, how much more “chick flick” can you get than a movie that puts …

Yoga Hosers, horror comedy
I’m a fan of Kevin Smith’s work. I enjoyed the “View Askewniverse” movies as well as “Red State”. I’ve also enjoyed his podcast “Fatman on Batman”. I have yet to see “Tusk” but I was able to check out it’s sequel/spin-off “Yoga Hosers”.
The fact that this follows …

The Santa Clause 2 (2002 Film)

I’ve watched this movie on HBO and it helped pass the time at first, but when the movie was in the middle part the plot becomes obvious and sort of predictable that the ending will be a good one. The actors and actresses aren’t even famous but at least …

Bruce, Jim Carrey’s character, is a popular newscaster who covers funny stories with his …
Kick Ass: Movie
Kick-Ass is one of my favourite films to come out of the last couple of years, mainly down to how unique it is and its fascinating analysis of a wannabe superhero.
This superhero is just an ordinary teenager, and the story shows that. You get a good back story to …

Talladega Nights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
I watched Talladega nights on opening night and every show we tried to find was sold out but we finally managed to find tickets to a show that eventually sold out as well. Talladega nights is probably the funniest movie of the year. Will Ferrel is close to the …
Where Got Ghost? movie
Jack Neo label it as Hor-medy. There are a total of 3 stories in this movie and I would say that the stories are short enough but not that bad in making me laugh.
I enjoyed at least 2 of the stories and in a way, it’s not …
Turistas (UR, 2006) movie
I was a little apprehensive about seeing this movie because there are just so many slasher films out there where the “teen/college” kids get offed one by one. The difference that sets this film apart is the fact that the filming and action seem more realistic than …
Good Against Evil movie
Good Against Evil, a 1977 movie, was apparently a pilot for a TV series which didn’t sell. I’m not surprised, to be honest. Unfortunately, this also means that there is no ending really to the picture. That’s because the catalyst for the action had to be …
Just My Luck

The Notebook
I don’t usually like romance books or movies because to me they all seem to be way too unrealistic for my comfort, even though ironically I love things such as good fantasy novels and movies and horror novels and movies. This was why I first shied away from the …
The Dungeonmaster (VHS), science fiction film
What better way to start a movie than with a guy on a bed, looking to be pleasuring himself by movement? How about adding in that guy chasing a woman wearing a red dress through an abandon jail? Better yet take those and add the woman undressing herself, then …
