Beastmaster movie
Whenever I watch Beastmaster, I can understand why it’s a movie that has been shown on television as much as it has.
Marc Singer puts on a very good performance as Dar, a man who is seeks revenge against the evil priest who slaughtered his entire family at the beginning …
Nightmare of Elm Street movie (2010)
I recently went and saw the new Nightmare on Elm Street. I think most people know the plot line to nightmare on Elm Street, and for those few who don’t it’s a pretty simple slasher flick. A badly burned Psycho who was killed years ago by an angry mob …
The Beach (2000)
I have read about the book (not read the book per se) titled “The Beach”. This novel was made into a film in 2000, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Richard, the fun-loving, adventure-seeking American with a can-do attitude who seeks adventure and risks his life in Bangkok, Thailand.
This movie …
Thelma & Louise (1991)

Movie Raise your Voice
“Raise your Voice” is a Hillary Duff movie. I just cannot understand why she has been nominated for the Razzie Awards for her part in this movie, because I believe it is one of her best movies together with “The Perfect Man”.
I found a certain similarity between “Raise your …
Pulp Fiction Movie
The first time I saw this movie, I wasn’t too sure where it was leading me…it was abit confusing at times, but, then it started to make sense. This is a very good thinking persons movie. It slices and dices and cuts corners without question, and it is still …

Inception (2010 movie)
I saw the trailer for this movie in theaters before, and it did not pique my interest. It seemed like just an action movie with some plot that is intended to be epic, but not really so. However, I heard that it is a really intense and deep movie, …
Movie Basket Case
Basket Case is an old movie from the year 1982. This movie is of course kind of cheesy and funny. Yet it is also scary, and kind of bloody. I think the old horror movies like Basket Case were a lot scarier, than the movies they make these days. …
Doctor Strange, 2016 movie
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand with “Doctor Strange”. Not only does this movie introduce a new hero and defender of the Earth, but it even manages to expand the scope of the already epic franchise as a whole.
True, it is an origin story, but it …
The Perfect Storm movie

Love at First Hiccup 2009 movie
I expected a movie disaster, as a response to: Date Movie, American Virgin or American Pie recent productions.

Masters of Horror: Dance of the Dead (movie)
I got hooked on the Masters of Horror series of films when I ordered “Jenifer” from Netflix. I was intrigued by the amount of gore and the uncensored approach to many adult topics. This film, however, directed by Tobe Hooper left so much to be …
Storm of the Century (horror movie)
Although it is a bit long, without any doubt, this is absolutely one of my favourite horror movies by Stephen King. With seemingly little effort, he manages to convey suspense from one end of this outstanding movie right through to the other as our imaginations run the gamut.
The …

The famous black-and-white 1951 British version of “A Christmas Carol” starring Alastair Sim is considered a classic and loved by many. Before I had watched it for the first time, I heard his movie praised so much that I thought I was going to love it as well. However, …
Shoot ‘Em up
I like Clive Owen, he’s probably my favorite English actor, but I’ve seen him in this role before. In his incredibly great movie, Children Of Men, Owen plays a reluctant hero of sorts who needs to escort a pregnant woman to her rendevous point to have her baby without …
Spice and Wolf Episode 5 (Anime)

Hulk Movie (with Edward Norton)
After the bomb that was the last Hulk movie, the new one gave me a nice sigh of relief. I was skeptical about it at first, but I’ve never seen a film with Edward Norton that I did not like, so I decided to check it out.
Unlike its predecessor, …
Mommy (drama movie)

Balto
Made in 1995, this animated film features the vocal talents of Kevin Bacon, Bridget Fonda, and Bob Hoskins, among others. It’s also based on a true story, very loosely based on a true story mind you.

Did You Hear About the Morgans? (Movie)
Hugh Grant is one of my favourite actors of all time, so I was looking forward to his latest movie, Did You Hear About the Morgan’s? to come out in DVD. I had heard lots of rather negative reviews about it, so I wasn’t expecting anything more than his …
Land of the Lost
I’m not a huge Will Ferrell fan so I kind of figured I wouldn’t like his movie Land of the Lost.
Well, I watched it this past weekend and it turns out I was right.
This movie just wasn’t that good. Ferrell is supposed to be some sort of genius scientist …
Clash of the Titans (1981 movie)
Here is a movie that I think directors will have a wonderul time with the remake, that’s if they have what it takes to re-invent the characters and make them seem real enough for the viewing public. Based in mythical times with mythical creatures such as the gigantic titans, …
Little Black Book movie
Little Black Book is a romantic comedy movie with a little bit drama in it. The movie was not a successful movie but I found it a so-so movie. It is not a great movie but at the same time, it is not a bad movie either. The movie …

X-Men: First Class, Movie
To be honest I was quite skeptical towards the fifth film in the X-Men series. I found it hard to see James Mcavoy as a young Charles Xavier and the absence of Wolverine also did not help much. What little I saw of the trailer , however , suggested …
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is the final movie in the Pirates trilogy. I was not very high on Dead Man’s Chest and was hoping At World’s End would reinvigorate my love I had for Pirates 1. However, what I got dissipated my love for …
27 Dresses
Watching feel good and light story movies does make someone feel better, and often times feel good about themselves. I think 27 Dresses did that to me. Katherine Heigl is wonderful in her role and being the “always” bridesmaids suits her. With all the glamour and stuffs she has …

Carnival Story movie
The world in the 50’s and 60’s loved stories about carnivals and circuses, and that’s why we have this film, Carnival Story, from 1954. In fact, I understand a German version was made at the same time and that the stars of both movies are seen but uncredited …

There are films that everyone needs to see, not because of the thrills, not because of the visuals, not because of the actors/actresses, but because they’re simply important.
