Encounter in the 3rd Dimension
I watched this IMAX movie, called Encounter in the 3rd Dimension, with my boyfriend, and it was the darndest thing I’ve ever been to. Now, don’t get me wrong about the movie, though short, (but isn’t all IMAX movies supposed to be). I was fed up with …

CUT BACK: facing ageism - Documentary by Patricia Sahertian
I just finished watching Cut Back and I have to say I was impressed. The documentary basically deals with the real life issues people face when they are downsized and need to look for a job at 50. There were a couple of really good stories in …

Film “Frozen” (2010)
I just finished watching this movie and I have to say I was impressed. It bills itself as a thriller and all you know about it from the previews and the poster is three kids get stuck on a chairlift and have to get back alive. …
Bobby (NR, 2006) movie
Oh how I really enjoyed this little film. It wasn’t riveting in the least. But I loved how Emilio Estevez pulled together so many talented actors into a film that showcased what they can do–so well. In any event, I have one major complaint: the …
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, movie
Coming off of two moderately successful films, the third Fast and Furious film drops the likes of Pual Walker and Vin Diesel and takes a turn back to driving roots. There is no drug plot, no criminal investigation, this movie is about driving fast and the art of drifting.
Set …
I am Legend Movie
I was very excited going into this movie. I really like Will Smith and could not wait to see what he was going to do with this unique role. I was a little skeptical at first, since he was the only person in the movie, but I didn’t let …
Tales From The Crypt DVD
I recently bought over the internet the complete set of all the Tales From The Crypt episodes. I always liked this TV show and now in one huge jewel case I have all the episodes in 22 comfortable dvd’s. Unfortunately thought the quality isn’t too great, given the fact …
Wi-heom-han gyan-gye (Dangerous Liaisons) movie
By and large, in Asian cinema, you can attempt to make a dramatic romance by either appealing to a localized sense of humour than might make it seem more uplifting, or you can pursue an angle popularized by Wong Kar Wai and heighten the drama using boiling stifled passion …
Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie
Long before the television show starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy, there was the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie released in the early nineties. Of course, at the time it was released I was about three or four and so I never knew about it. However, I did watch …

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004 Film)
After watching this 2004 comedy, “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”, starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Christina Applegate and more dynamite caste members I will forever remember the name Ron Burgundy. There’s something about the sexist lines, the mix of actors, and the infatuation of nearly everyone on the …
Movie He’s Just Not That Into You
He may not be that into you, but I was completely “into” this movie. An adorable adaptation from the book, this die-hard chick flick follows the love lives (with all their ups and downs) of several hapless singles. He loves her, but she loves the other guy, who’s married …
The Man Who Predicted 9-11 movie
The movie is kind of slow in the beginning, but that is no reason not to follow through and watch the rest of it. The reasons behind the stories about the main character’s life and background did not become clear until later on in the movie. I found these …
Movie Home Alone 2
The 2nd installment of Home Alone, is in my opinion, the best. Kevin McAllister, after getting on the wrong plane, heading to New York, is separated from his family, who are headed to Florida for the holidays. While in New York Kevin uses his fathers credit cards and …
The Reef (thriller movie)
So I thought “Well, here we go again! Another shark movie” This time however, I was astonished to find that I really dug this one. It is nicely suspenseful and like a few others of its kind, too unnervingly real. It is billed as being based on real-life events. Kudos …
Last House on the Left movie
My wife and I finally got a chance to watch the movie The Last House on the Left yesterday afternoon. We had the movie a while and were waiting for the right time to watch it. But, as it turns out, there really wasn’t one because it wasn’t as …
Faeries movie
I watched the movie “Faeries” a very long time ago in about the year 2001 when I had just gotten cable television. I think the first time I saw the movie too was one Saturday on the cable television channel SciFi. I thought it was different from many …

Hills Have Eyes 2, The (2007)
The Hills Have Eyes is a sequel to the first. I felt the first was a pretty good movie, and I felt the same about this one, because it continued the storyline from the first, explaining the reason for the mutants attacks on everyone.
These “mutants” have been a victim …
The Good Guy Movie
I saw The Good Guy at the recommendation of a close friend who absolutely loved it. She did preface it with the fact that she did not really know why she loved it so much but something about it really stuck with her. Also, it helped that she had …

Solstice (PG-13, 2007)
I really tried hard to at least give this film a chance. I liked that it was set in Louisiana. I liked that the directors chose to focus on the solstice aspect. I even resigned myself to the fact that there would be several college kids …
Duplex - (starring Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore)
Duplex is total hilarious! I watch this movie and I just feel that movies like this really crack me up; in a funny and sort of fun way. How would you feel when you move into a particular Duplex and you find an elderly woman whom is so …

After a few movies, Vin Diesel became hollywood’s leading man for a hot minute. He was cast in Saving Private Ryan, which was an absolute brilliant movie starring Tom Hanks. And he was also in the Fast and the Furious with Paul Walker. After declining a role in the …
Cosplay Complex anime
“Cosplay Complex,” an anime series about girls who compete in cosplay (dressing up), is raunchy is every sense of the word. Even though
it’s classified solely as comedy anime, it did not make me laugh at loud once. This extreme lack of humor is probably why there are only three
episodes. …

A Clockwork Orange (1971)
When it comes to masterpieces on film, Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange knows nearly no rival. While my personal experience with the movie did not come until just last year (the incessant raving from other viewers finally pushed me into the fray to give the film a watch), I’m …
Django Unchained (movie)
One of the most impressive movies that I’ve watched so far this year was “Django Unchained”, which I feel was surprising since when I watched the trailer, I never got the feeling that it might give The Hobbit a run for its money even though I knew it was …
The Danish Girl (Biographical Drama Movie)
I hesitated in watching the movie “The Danish Girl” for a long time because I wasn’t sure that I would find it fascinating enough for me to like. However, eventually I warmed to the idea and decided to take the risk watching it, especially after I realised that it received …

Up (2009) movie
I went to see this movie early June after hearing wonderful things about it. I had previously watched the Pixar’s other movie WALL-E and loved it, so I had great expectations. I figured Up would also have some kind of global message such respecting the environment in WALL-E; why …
