High School Musical movie
Disney Channel created a sensation with High School Musical in 2006. It has spawned two sequels, but I hadn’t even seen the original until last night. Of course, I’m not of current high school generation, so I’m not their target audience anyway.
That said, I chuckled at the …

Spiderman The Motion Picture
With great power comes great responsibility. With great movies comes greater ones. This is how I feel about the first Spiderman. I believe this movie moved the caliber of comic book-to-movie projects up a notch.
This movie showed that we can have great comic book movies with great characters and …
Intimate Strangers (R, 2004)

Reaper comedy
Reaper is a light-hearted hero genre comedy this show is entertaining though a bit shallow. It seems that Sam’s parents signed a contract with the devil giving him their son’s soul. Well, the devil puts him to work as a catcher of evil souls …
This Is Spinal Tap
This Is Spinal Tap is a silly movie about a band based in the 1970s. You can’t watch This Is Spinal Tap and take it seriously! I’ve ran across a couple of people who actually thought Spinal Tap was a real band. They are not! What they are is …
Movie: Rocky Horror Picture Show
I was scrolling through the movies that were available for Netflix Instant Watch and was happy to come across the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show. Not having anything better to do this morning (my youngest daughter woke me up at 4 and I had two hours before I needed …
The Hottie & The Nottie
Considering it had Paris Hilton in the starring role and the fact it came straight to DVD, I had a lot of doubts about the film The Hottie & The Nottie.
After all, this is 2008, you would think a movie that focuses just on a woman’s looks rather than …
Mr. Destiny (1990)
I am always saying “Be careful what you wish for, as fate it seems, is not without a sense of humor” and to this day I continue to prove that very same thing. Nothing that you wish for even comes to be exactly the way you wish it; instead, …
Maleficent (fantasy movie)
With all the hype, expectations and good reviews surrounding the movie Maleficent, I honestly thought that it was probably going to be a masterpiece that I would want to see. However, the only thing that prevented me from going to see it was that one of my coworkers saw it, …
Heat Wave (NR, 1990) movie
I really wanted to like this little film, especially since Blair Underwood was starring. This film is really pretty old, nearly 20 years. And the premise was pretty good. During this time, there were several films that tried to follow the topic of race relations. …
Mighty Ducks
I was watching movies last night on TV (the baby had a late night) and came across Mighty Ducks. God, I hate that movie and regret not being able to get the remote to change the channel.
When it first came out, I was in college near Minnesota and can …
Darkman (1990)

Yet another comic book taken from the pages and tossed onto the silver screen, Peyton, a scientist is horribly scared after his lab explodes due the …
Ella Enchanted
Ella Enchanted is somewhat of a cross between Cinderella and Shrek. We have a modernized fantasy world with ogres, elves, giants, taxi carriages and man-powered wooden escalators. And we have a teenage girl Ella who lives with a step mother and (of course) her two evil daughters. However, there …

Notting Hill
I’m really a big fan of romantic drama. And one of my lifetime favorites is Notting Hill. I don’t know why. I just found that simple beautiful. The storyline is just perfect. The on-off of the two main characters is just brilliant. Drama used to have the same …
Mooch Goes to Hollywood
Mooch Goes to Hollywood stars Mooch of course a cute shaggy dog in the order of Benjie, I must say the cute shaggy dog is the only thing this video has going for it. I feel the come on for the video is the number of stars involved which …
Cloverfield
Many movies claim to have you on the edge of your seat, but I have never seen a movie do that literally… until I watched Cloverfield. This monster flick redefines the genre and brings viewers a first person look into what an apocalyptic experience is like. The movie was …
Sujata Movie
Sujata Movie Review : , made is 1969, is yet another great movies made by legendary film maker Bimal Kumar. The story is about a high class Brahmin family, who due to some circumstances finds and up brings a lower caste girl in their house. Their real …
Splinter movie
Horror movie fans have been subjected to numerous ghastly, teen-driven horror flicks in recent years. “The Messengers”, “Pulse”, and “The Eye” are just a few of the countless titles that fall into that category, but nestled in among the dreck are a few classics that are a must see …
27 Dresses
This is a very fantastic movie starring Katherine Heigl and the ever gorgeous and good looking James Marsden. I think he is really charming and very handsome and dashing. Movie’s about Katherine’s character named Jane and she has all her life dealt with dressing up brides to be …
Madagascar movie
Take a hypocondriac giraffe, an existential zebra, a tough-girl hippopotamus, and a classic New Yorker lion, transport them from the comforts of the best zoo in the world (Central Park) to the wilds of Madagascar, and you are bound to find comedy.
True friendship comes through as Alex the lion …
Halloween II (2009) movie
Rob Zombie’s journey from musician to filmmaker has certainly been interesting. The goth-rocker’s journey from ‘Dragula’ to ‘Devil’s Reject’ has been an odd mix of trashy screams and atmospheric horror, Rob Zombie’s films have always been something else. And ’something else’ is probably the best way to …
The Good Girl
I think this is one of the best movies ever to put into light how good an actress Jennifer Aniston is. I have always thought that she could act in movies and she has surpassed all comments saying that she can’t act and all that. Try watching The …
The Pitfall movie
This is one of Hiroshi Teshigahara’s earliest works and my favorite of his films that I’ve seen so far. A man and his little boy is walking together by a lake when someone comes out of the bushes and shoots the man. We are not explained to why this …
Barbie as The Island Princess
Love this Barbie as The Island Princess very much. I might be old enough to be called someone’s girlfriend or wife or mother, but I still could not get enough dosage of Barbie.
Whenever there are new DVD movies or mini movies out there featuring Barbie, or just …
The Searchers
The Searchers, directed by John Ford, is a classic for all to see. This movie also stars John Wayne and you just can’t find star power like that anywhere else. The movie is about Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) and his nephew, not by kin, Martin Paulie (Jeffrey …
Chasing Liberty
You actually realise how important a creative script writer is when you watch two movies with the same story line. The difference between both of them can be the level of acting and the creativity involved.
This is the case of the movie “Chasing Liberty” that has the same storyline …

Upside of Anger
Upside of Anger, starring Kevin Costner and Joan Allen is a romantic comedy and drama. The movie is a good movie and has some very decent performances by the main actors. The tag line, ‘Sometimes what tears us apart helps us put it back together’ itself is very impressive …
Spirit Trap
Starring: Billie Piper (Jenny), Sam Troughton (Nick), Luke Mably (Tom), Emma Catherwood (Adele), Alsou (Tina), Chike Okonkwo (Edmund Joseph)
This movie is actually not too bad; it started off as rather mundane, but the idea of an old clock that linked the past to the current is quite refreshing!
Jenny …
No Reservations movie
I am reviewing the movie, No Reservations, starring Catherine Zeta Jones. This movie is about the life of chef Kate (Jones). She is a perfectionist, highly obsessive with food, and likes this her way. She gets along fine, as long as there is no chaos in …
Marie Antoinette (2006)
I always support the movie with female director and that’s why I was attracted to see this movie when the first time I know that Sofia Coppola has a new movie about Marie Antoinette.
As the beginning, I just want you to know that I love the trailer of this …
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties
I admit to being a bit apprehensive when I checked this movie out, mainly because I had not liked the first “Garfield” movie. Mainly I had thought Garfield had acted a tad too mean in it. But to my utter surprise, this movie was a real delight to watch. …
Doll Face movie
From 1945, Doll Face is a fairly fun motion picture about the entertainment industry, including Burleycue, better known as burlesque. Vivian Blaine plays Doll Face Carroll, who is trying to get out of burlesque and into the legitimate theater and such, but no one will give her the …

Sex InThe City-Complete Series Gift Set
For a little under $200, you can own every single episode of Sex in the City ever made. This television show was highly popular on HBO for many years, and at one point was the only reason I subscribed to cable in my home.
This are great episodes to watch …
Carlin on Campus
I had never seen the comedy show Carlin on Campus (featuring George Carlin) before. So, when I came across a repeat of it on one of the cable networks last night I figured I would take the time to watch it.
Having never seen Carlin’s standup routine before, I understand …
Night of the Living Dead (1990 Remake)
Gore maestro Tom Savani takes over directorial duties in this remake of Romero’s classic zombie movie.
There’s no monumental changes with this new version. It’s shot in colour, the gores a bit more impressive (but surprisingly much more played down considering Savani’s involvement) but there’s some tinkering about with …
Veggietales: Pistachio
As I often do, I spent some time Friday looking through Netflix’s Instant Watch section for movies I could watch with my two girls.
One of the movies I came across was the VeggieTales movie Pistachio. This proved to be worth watching.
The movie (which is essentially one of their TV …
Syriana (2005)
“Syriana” is a 2005 movie from Warner Brothers suggested by former CIA agent Robert Baer’s book “See No Evil: The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA’s War on Terrorism.” The color movie runs for 126 minutes and was filmed in a variety of locations throughout the …
Hangover Part 2 movie
I am not exactly a big fan of sequels, so when I heard that they intended to make Hangover 2, I was more than a little skeptical. I absolutely adored The Hangover and it is among my friends’ favourites when it comes to comedy as well. It made me …
Willard (2003)
Sick, twisted, morbid and demented are the terms to toss at this remake of the same name. Willard, played by Cripsin Glover is the man character, one who is abused by almost every one around him, including his mother, his boss and even a rat named Ben. After losing …
Oceans Movie
Recently the movie Oceans became available on Netflix instant queue and I immediately added it. I am a big fan of nature movies because they offer a glimpse of an extremely beautiful world that most of us hardly ever get to see to the extent that it deserves. Oceans …
Amadeus movie
Milos Forman’s powerful film about the legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It’s a very colorful and moving portrait, narrated through the eyes of one of Mozart’s competitors during this time, who was only mediocre in comparison. Forman uses an epic style to tell this story, and that works very …
Tom and Jerry Cartoons
I remember watching these two cartoon characters chase each other when I was a kid and now, years later, I find myself watching them again. Actually, I’m not the one watching it. My boy who is only 4 years old watches it all the time and there’s nothing any …
Arrival (2016 Sci-fi Drama Film)
The way this film is marketed is truly off-putting, who else wants to watch another alien-invasion movie? I find it truly distracting that “language” is one of the main themes here but the distributor actually did not know how to communicate/market this film to the general audience. Granted, science fiction …
The Mangler movie
It’s a movie about a killer washing machine. Really, what more do you need to know?
It’s based on a short story by the master of horror himself, taken from a collection called “Night Shift”. Despite the goofy plot, the story actually works pretty well. Heck, as …
