Death of a Ghost Hunter: movie
Death of a Goes Hunter is a low-budget horror movie. Like most low-budget horror movies, it suffers from some flaws. The acting is not that good, the camera work is sloppy, and the whole thing has an unprofessional feel. However, despite these flaws, I really enjoyed …

Movie: “The Toy”
This Richard Pryor classic is as hysterical today as it was at its 1982 release. The laughs never stop; even the slapstick comedy is so well-done that it had me laughing out loud.
Master comedian Jackie Gleason plays a wealthy businessman who promises his spoiled son any toy he wants. …
The Mark of Zorro Movie

Dark City, movie (1998)

The Messengers (movie)
I finally gave in and watched the movie The Messengers with my wife yesterday afternoon. And, even though I’ve never seen the film, I felt like I did.
The problem with The Messengers is, for a horror film, it’s really not all that scary. And, it’s because they used the …
Penelope (movie)
One of the first movies that I remember recognising the actor James McAvoy in was Penelope, which was released in 2006. He’s one of those actors whose movies I will always take a chance with , and that was one of the main reasons why I even decided to …

Notting Hill (1999 movie)
Notting Hill was a sweet movie. I might be a bit biased because I really like Julia Roberts in romantic comedies and Hugh Grant is very good as the confused love interest (has he ever played a role where he knows what is going on?)
I particularly liked one montage …

Interview with the vampire
I loved this film, it’s one of my all time favourites.
I’m a big fan of Anne Rice and it’s so rare to like the movie version of a book but this film could not be any more perfect.
I thought they captured the darkness of her books wonderfully. They managed …
The Secret DVD
I’ve studied manifestation for about 15 years and understand basic principles, but The Secret really summed manifestation up. This movie was emotional, funny and introspective. Australian Rhonda Byrne put the movie together after her father died. She read The Science of Getting Rich, which her father left to her. …
Transformers (2007) movie

War Horse (2011 film)
It’s the time of the year when film companies campaign for their best movies before the Oscars. I looked everywhere in the weekend papers as well as online finding the distracting line ‘for your consideration.’ Although I was not the intended target for those ads, I considered …
Braveheart
Braveheart is one of my all time favorite movies, I have seen it at least ten times and I am still not tired of it. Braveheart is full of action, romance, and passion. But the best part of the whole thing is that it is based on a true …
Back to the Future Part 2

I actually came across the movie “Hollow Reed” by accident before I had never even heard of it and when I saw it starting it seemed that nothing else worth watching was being aired on cable television at the time. To make things even better, the movie was a …
Sparkling Cyanide movie

Let me start off with saying Tim Allen isn’t my favorite actor and I was unsure about this movie when I heard he was in it, but after seeing it and laughing most of the way through, I thought he acted pretty well. I had to do a double …
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 …
Psycho 1998 version
I finally saw the Psycho 1998 version and I must say it was a good movie. Now I have never seen the original Alfred Hitchcock version, but this one was pretty good. A younger Vince Vaughn played the role of the Psycho killer. He did a great job in the …
