Robin Hood (2010) Movie
Robin Hood (2010) is a retelling of the original Robin Hood legend and tends to be a little more historically based than other Robin Hood stories, but the historical accuracy may vary, because it is a fictional story.
Robin Hood is a man named Robert Longstride, an archer who accompanies …
Superman: The Animated Series Volume One
Superman The Animated Series Volume One is not my favorite of the three seasons, but it is still an enjoyable and exciting season that I am more than happy to own. The three part season opener is particularly entertaining to watch as opens not on Earth or in Metropolis, …

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
What an amazing movie. At first glance, it seemed like it had the ability to be good and bad. I had heard of books before, but never really knew about what Pirates of the Caribbean was about, except for Pirates sailing in the Caribbean.
Let’s start with the concept of …
Death Sentence, movie
Kevin Bacon heads into new territory as a father in pain on the march for revenge. I thought that the film was close to the plot of the “Death Wish” films but was surprised that there were enough differences to make the film a decent movie. There is …
Revolutionary Road Movie (2008)
I was excited to see another movie that stars the tandem of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. This time it was in the movie “Revolutionary Road”. This was based on a novel written by Robert Yates.
The setting is 1960s, and the young couple Frank and April Wheeler are not …
About A Boy movie
“About a Boy” is the movie where Hugh Grant tried to make something different from the usual movie projects we are so used seeing him in. I must admit that, although this movie was a great success, I prefer Grant version in his usual type of movies. All in …
The Dilemma (Movie)
The Dilemma is newly out of cinemas (Depends where you live) here in South Africa. The trailer was very ammusing, and i thought the movie would be hilarious.

Lucy (science fiction movie)
When I first saw the trailer for Lucy, I just knew that I had to see it. It seemed to have a similar premise to the movie Limitless, and not to mention I’ve been a fan of the actress Scarlett Johansson for the longest while. However, as it got closer …
‘Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones’ movie
After the fourth movie, I was convinced that the “Paranormal Activity” franchise was dead. I liked the first two, but after that, the formula wore thin and they didn’t have anything new to bring to the table.
Enter this “spin-off” that follows another family as they are …
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 …
Triloquist (Movie)
Triloquist is one of the strangest and worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. The movie was released by Dimension Extreme and that combined with the fact that it was made by the makers of Leprechaun was enough to make me plop down the $4 for the rental …
Monsters, Inc. movie
The first time I saw trailers for this movie I told myself I’m never gonna watch that because the characters look really ugly. But a friend of mine persuaded me so off we go to a movie house. I’m sure glad that I obliged to my friend’s request. Monsters, …
Netflix Online
It’s time to put Blockbuster behind us.
Here’s why:
Selection. It doesn’t matter whether you like horror, comedy, romance, or history movies– Netflix has it all.
The price is reasonable. You know how much it costs to rent a movie at your local store, it’s outrageous. If you watch more than four …

K-Pax
I think K-Pax is a great movie. Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges do a great job in this film. So the movie is about an man who all of a sudden shows us at an air port, and he claims to be from another planet. Most people think that …
Moving McCallister
“Moving McCallister” is an out of the ordinary teen movie from the director, Andrew Black. This is one of the first movies for Black and unfortunately it lacks with regards for the flow of the story, however I must add that Black left his inprint on trying not to …

Say It Isn’t So movie
“Say It Isn’t So” was mainly promoted as the movie from the same producers of “Something About Mary”. However this movie together with the movie “Me, You and Irene” cannot really be compared to the great success of “Something About Mary”. I must also admit that between “Me, You …
Annabelle, horror movie (2014)
I was one of the many The Conjuring fans who had bought their Annabelle tickets a week before the show times. With a group of friends rushing to the theater where this supposedly horror-movie-of-the-year would be playing I was nothing less than thrilled. Needless to say the emotions …

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
We ended up picking up the second Madagascar movie “Escape 2 Africa” last night and wasn’t really sure what to expect. The first one was OK but not the best movie ever and we all know sequels usually don’t live up to the original.
As it turns out, the second …

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: The Movie
I waited for the release of this movie if only because it was going to be their first in the series to be shown in IMAX-3D. I was happy that there was an IMAX theatre in my area, and I spent the better part of the week convincing my …
Ghost Rider
Somewhere down the line, Hollywood thought Nick Cage would make a good action star. I’m sorry, but that logic is flawed and the movie Ghost Rider proves it.
Overall, Ghost Rider is a good film; or, at very least, a unique one. Cage plays a stuntman who makes a deal …
Be Kind Rewind, comedy film
Comedy movies are hard to make any more. A good comedy tends to please the audience for its entire length. A bad comedy only has enough laughs to make the trailer look good. Be Kind Rewind is one of those comedy movies that sort of falls in-between the cracks …
The Rocketeer
With all the movies about comic book action heroes that have been coming out lately, one that has been out for some time might be easily forgotten.

Bill Campbell does an …
500 Days of Summer movie
I rented 500 days of summer knowing nothing about it except that it starred Joseph Gordon Levitt who is best known for playing the Alien, Tommy on the sitcom “Third Rock From the Sun,” and Zooey Deschanel. I have to say that I enjoyed this movie, but found …
El Cantante (Movie)
This movie starring Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony about a puerto rican singer and his downfalls WAS HORRIBLE!. I HATED IT! The story was told in such a bad way. I never got a chance to get attached or feel anything for the characters because things happen so …
