Who’s Harry Crumb (1989)
This is a comedy starring John Candy and he plays a very stupid private investigator in this movie. Truthfully, I didn’t find this movie very funny or entertaining. That is sad as I normally enjoy movies with John Candy. He did the acting well enough but I just didn’t …
Keeping the Faith (2000, Edward Norton)
I found this film really enjoyable, and a tearjerker too.
And in my humble opinion, a much better romantic comedy than a lot of Stiller’s recent outings - e.g. Along Came Polly, Meet the Fockers etc.
Ben Stiller and Ed Norton play a Rabbi and a Priest respectively. They are …
The Last Samurai movie
The Last Samurai is a movie about a man who learns the way of his enemy the samurai and grows to love their way of life more so than the way of his generation. The actors who play in this movie are Ken Watanabe and Tom Cruise among others. …
Prince of Persia (2010)
I just saw this movie on its opening night, and it entertained me, but didn’t thrill me.
While I liked Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for most of its action and storyline, I wonder if something wasn’t missing here. There was a lot of good acting, and certainly …
The X-Files Fresh Bones Episode
“Fresh Bones” was the 39th episode of the popular 90s American television series “The X-Files”. It I also the 15th episode of the popular series from the show’s second season. I just watched this episode recently on the Sci-Fi cable television channel, and thought that this was one …
The Jungle Book movie
You know, I have seen the live action version of the movie The Jungle Book but this past weekend was the first time I’ve seen the cartoon version. After finally getting a chance to watch it (with my daughter) I have to say I liked the live version better.
This …
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 …
Hanging up movie
Hanging up is a very normal movie which has nothing unique about it. The only saving grace of the movie is Meg Ryan’s impeccable performance. She single handedly did everything and the whole movie rests on her shoulders and she did a great job in doing that job perfectly. …
Shooter
I have always been a big fan of Mark Wahlberg’s acting skills. I like that he’s rough around the edges. Even still, he’s able to nail the emotion that is called for by the scenes he’s in. In this film, Wahlberg portrays a military marksman who …
Money Talks (1997)
This is the story of a man who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and winds up being caught up in happenings that could very well be to his detriment. After being charged with a crime and on his way to prison to …
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)
This story is a remake three times over and this remake just did not make the grade, for the life of me, no matter how many times I start watching and try to watch this movie, I just get extremely bored and I have to switch away to something …
Serendipity
One of my Husband’s favorite movie is Serendipity.He watched it a lot of times.Before i do not like it.I find it boring but when my husband ask me to sit down and watch with him.I was impressed to the movie.
It was all about Jonathan and Sara.Everything started …
Interview with a Vampire
Interview with a Vampire was a great vampire movie! I thought it was very creative how the vampire tells the reporter the whole story while we see what he is telling. Also I think that Brad Pitt and Christian Slater did a great job of acting as vampires. The movie …
Casablanca movie
Of all the black and white films, this one is the best. In fact, many people consider Casablanca the best film of all time, and for a good reason. I myself can agree to this. The dialogue alone is so crisp, and no doubt about it, …
“When in Rome” (2010 Film)
“When in Rome” the 2010 film starring Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel, seemed like it would be a really fun romantic comedy to watch. But let me just say now that I was not very impressed with this film. It was funny, but I think that was more because …
PS, I Love You
Cecelia Ahern, the author, is the 22-year-old daughter of Ireland’s Prime Minister. It is quite rare to find a book about a 30 year-old-widow written by one so young, as many writers tend to write on younger characters based on their past experiences. Ms Ahern is brave to try …
The Simpson’s Movie
The Simpson’s is one of the most hilarious TV show that I have ever watched in my life. The entire show ,their characters are just too funny. When I heard that their movie was going to be out,I made it a point to get tickets for the first day …

Movie The Descent
Normally, if a horror movie is made in Britain, I find myself bored very quickly. But, I have to admit the film The Descent was actually pretty decent.
I’m still not sure about the premise, a group of women bonding by exploring an unexplored cave. But, I have to admit, …
Epic the Movie (2013)
Another fun-filled family adventure movie is here; from the makers of the Ice Age series and Rio, Epic feels to me like a magical combination of The Borrowers and Fern Gulley. I found myself being transported back to my childhood when I would have watched such films. However I …
The Matrix Revolutions movie
Oh yes…it is a Trilogy. Every body wants to make a trilogy. As if the first two weren’t enough, now we must sit through another long winded three and a half hour movie with the clueless saviour of all. Need I say anymore. Action, storyline, dialogue, monologue…the same as …
The Next Karate Kid
Hilary Swank does a wonderful job as an angst-filled teenager who is in desperate need of Mr. Miagee’s teaching and guidance.
I was always a big fan of The Karate Kid, all three of them in fact. But, I’m a girl, and Danny was a boy. So, as …
Eddie Izzard Live: Stripped
Introduction
I have been a fan of Eddie Izzard from the beginning. Recently, I got given his latest live DVD called ’stripped’ and he is still one of the funniest comedians out there.
The Show
If you have seen an Eddie Izzard performance before then it is fair to say that you …
Movie Knocked Up
This movie has that bizarre combination of sweet and revolting that somehow makes a movie work for everyone. At moments, it was so offensive that I didn’t want to laugh but couldn’t help myself, and at other moments it was sweet and genuine and made me truly smile.
The …
“It Must be Love” (2004 Lifetime Movie Network Film)
This 2004 Lifetime Movie Network film, “It Must be Love”, starring Ted Danson and real life wife Mary Steenburgen, was as adorable romance to say the very least. The simple plot that captures the attention of the viewer is hard to ignore. It was also very interesting to see …
Titanic (Movie)
I love Titanic. I’ve seen the movie close to 30 times total since it was first released in 1998 and that includes the six times that I saw it in the theater. This is one of the few movies that made me want to learn more about the topic …
Orphan movie
The movie “Orphan” from 2009 was a must see for me after hearing about all the controversy surrounding it. I have heard that some were concerned that it would discourage prospective parents from adopting. I would assume, after seeing the film, that these people were basing their fears on …
In the name of the father movie
Based on a true story, this film reveals some severe weaknesses in the british justice system as a man, played marvellously by Daniel Day-Lewis, is wrongfully accused and imprisoned for a murder. And not only that, but his whole family, who are also all innocent, are convicted. This was …
Underworld: Awakening Movie (aka Underworld 4) (2012)
I watched the new Underworld: Awakening(Underworld 4) movie in 3D, and I must say that I was extremely impressed. I’ve watched the entire series and loved them all, except for the third one, which I found to be quite boring and unnecessary to the story line. I …
Movie, The Imitation Game
I stumbled upon reading in advance about our Philosophy subject and I read something about the Turing Test. That made me think of the movie I just watched. Alan Turing is the main character of the movie The Imitation Game and he is also the same Turing in the Turing …
The Vertical Ray of the Sun movie
The vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung is in my opinion one of the most interesting filmmakers the last 10-15 years, which he showed with brilliance in The Scent of Green Papaya and Cyclo. The Vertical Ray of the Sun was the most recent film he made and, similar to …
Eastern Promises (2007)
Eastern Promises, directed by David Cronenberg is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong brutal and bloody violence, some graphic sexuality, language and nudity.

Antwone Fisher
The movie Antwone Fisher was released when I was still in high school. I did not see it advertising to be released in theatres though since I was very busy at the time. However, I was finally able to see it when I saw the rest of my family …
Good Luck Chuck
From the previews and the description on the box, I thought the movie Good Luck Chuck would be an excellent love story. What my wife and I sadly discovered was the movie wasn’t much better than a soft-core porn flick.
The idea of a guy who has a curse that …
The Eruption of Mount St. Helens! (2001)
This movie was originally shown in IMAX theatres but it is now on DVD. It is about the series of terribly destructive eruptions that happened in the 80s. At the time it erupted, I was too young to really remember hearing about it on the news and since I …
James Bond - Lots of Quantum, No Solace
I am extremely disappointed! To the point of almost tears… So i finally got a chance to go see the latest Bond film, the Quantum of Solace…and Daniel Craig has managed to, single handedly, make me scream in agony.
I definately agree witih sir Roger Moore …
House of Wax
It’s settled; Vincent Price is my favorite actor of all time. There is no actor, past or present, quite like him. In this remake of 1933’s ‘Mystery of the Wax Museum,’ an enthused Price plays Professor Jarrod, a brilliant artist whose wax sculptures seem like real people. …
Friday the 13th Part 3
Friday the 13th part 3 is a movie that makes me laugh, though not in a good way. Part of it is the bad special effects, while a larger part is simply how dated the movie is after all these years. It makes me wonder how they ever based …
Batman Returns
I got a chance to re-watch the movie Batman Returns last night and have to say, I can now understand why that installment of Batman movies went downhill in a hurry.
The first Batman, starring Michael Keaton, is still one of my favorite movies. This sequel to that movie wasn’t …
The Guard (movie)
I watched the comedy thriller “The Guard” last night, and while there are many things I have to say about it, I promise to keep my review fairly brief.
The movie was about the strange partnership of an FBI agent, and an Irish policeman with some very unorthodox ways, …
Perfect Stranger (R, 2007) movie
It took me a while to get around to seeing Perfect Stranger, starring Halle Berry. When I saw the previews, I immediately thought there would be gratuitous nudity or sex scenes, like in Monster\’s Ball, or other films featuring the pretty actress. But this one was …
Scream 2
I give most of my reviews on DVD movies, due to the fact that I love watching television and movies.
When I first watched this movie, I was interested and intrigued from the start of it until the end. To me, the movie was very suspenseful and dramatic. Everytime there …
Strawberry Panic anime
“Strawberry Panic!” is a cute romantic subtle-drama series, featuring lesbian relationships between girls at an exclusive all-female
affiliated schools. While the lesbianisism theme is a bold step to take for anime, I don’t think the series was good enough. It did evoke much
emotion or attention in the viewer, neither through …
Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows movie
I’ve always remembered Columbo: Murder, Smoke and Shadows, not because of the actors but because of the story and that it makes use of Universal Studios. In fact, the opening has the soon-to-be murder victim on the tram, riding around seeing the attractions, like Jaws and the burning …
