Return to Me movie
Mundane romantic comedy about a man and a woman who happen to meet accidentally, happen to be perfect for each other, and happen to fall in love instantly. How many times have this been seen before?
Countless, or course, and this film is just repeating old sugar sweet cliches like …
The Craving movie
Before I watched this movie, I heard of it and read a few reviews on it. Most of them were good. People said the plot was promising, and th e movie was scary. However, when I actually watched it for myself, I thought that “The Craving” was pretty disappointing …
Night of the Living Dead (1990 Remake)
Gore maestro Tom Savani takes over directorial duties in this remake of Romero’s classic zombie movie.
There’s no monumental changes with this new version. It’s shot in colour, the gores a bit more impressive (but surprisingly much more played down considering Savani’s involvement) but there’s some tinkering about with …
The movie Snow Buddies
Snow Buddies…. oh my goodness. There were so many Air Bud films that it was ridiculous. Now comes this one, yet another air bud movie that is so much like Snow Dogs that its sickening.
This movie is about 5 golden retriever puppies whose curiosity gets them landed in …
The Happening movie
M. Night Shyamalan has become something of a cult favorite of moviegoers in recent years, with such films as “The Sixth Sense” and “The Village”. The afore mentioned films have a twist, or a surprise ending that floors the viewer and leaves him saying “everything makes sense now!” So …
I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
When Adam Sandler first started out in films, I was a huge fan. But, after some pretty crappy films, I found myself no longer going out of my way to see any of his movies. However, I�m glad I rented his newest movie, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & …
Confessions of a Call Girl (NR, 2007)
I am actually ashamed to admit that I watched this film in its entirety. I should have known that a film in which Bokeem Woodbine and Tamala Jones are cast in main roles as a powerful doctor/lawyer husband wife team, would be treacherous. Where do …
An Englishman in New York 2009
An Englishman in New York is a 2009 television movie which tells the story of the latter years of the great eccentric Quentin Crisp. The title of the drama is taken from the brilliant song by Sting which plays as the final credits are rolling. I was …
Prestige movie
“The Prestige” is a dazzling, entertaining, smart, and mind-blowing film. It is a rare combination of a fun, enjoyable, popcorn movie and a serious, well-done, cinematic film. “The Prestige” sucks you in and doesn’t ever let go. As soon as you see it, …
Labor Day (2013 Film)
Labor Day is a film that I was eager to watch after seeing the many trailers on TV. I’m not one for chick flicks or too many sad love stories that don’t end too well. But Labor Day? This movie is what I would call a suitable love story …
The Lawnmower Man movie
A man with little intelligence is used by the people of his home city as a lawnmower. One day, a scientist who performs experiments on apes get the idea of using the lawnmower man as his new object. Something goes wrong and the lawnmower man becomes intelligent instead, and …
The A-Team: Movie
The A-Team is a fun, action-packed remake of the TV series that I think will be of interest to a lot more people than it is given credit for.
I thought that the action scenes were very good and quite unique; given the circumstances they often find themselves in they …
Four Christmases movie
Four Christmases is a mediocre holiday tale about a couple with a tradition of scheduling trips to avoid spending Christmas with their families. But when extreme fog cancels their flight, Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) are forced to attend four Christmas celebrations.
An interesting aspect of this movie …
Attack the Block (movie)
Tonight I decided that I was going to watch the movie “Attack the Block” even though I heard about it roughly a year ago. Back then when I had watched the trailer and seen one or two clips of the movie what I saw just did not impress me …
The Ugly Truth movie
I’ve recently watched The Ugly Truth on DVD yesterday with my boyfriend. When it was out in the cinema, I was really excited to watch it but I never got to because I was so busy with stuff in school and the fact that I’m saving up my allowance. …
Netflix
I’ve been a member of Netflix for a little over a year. I am on the 3-at-a-time package for about $18 a month, and it seems to be the right one for me. I love getting movies in the mail and being able to watch them instantly. If I …
Right at Your Door Movie
Right at Your Door is a thinking person’s movie, meaning that you can’t just kick back and watch the movie while you do the laundry, play with the kids, or give the dog a bath. You could, but I doubt it would have the same effect on you that …
The Ugly Truth movie
The Ugly Truth is another one of those date movies. It stars Katherine Heigl of Grey’s Anatomy fame as the heroine Abby, a control freak working in one of those high-pressure, high-profile movie networks. The casting gets better, wow, the lead actor is Gerard Butler who ably …
They Movie
While this is not an excellent horror movie, it can stand on it’s own two feet. The best time to watch this movie or any horror movie in fact is in the nighttime…all by yourself, no one else around to distract you and take away from the terror it …
JUNO
This Movie Rated PG13 ,it’s only 95 minutes not counting next attractions. Whow just who is this titular, quirky,sardonic, fresh-faced 16 or 17 years ol. Plalyed to perfection by Ellen Page. In the breakout performance of the year? maybe yes, maybe no. The opening minutes of the this movie …
High School Musical
High School Musical debuted on the Disney Channel in January of 2006 and became a nationwide phenomenon, sparking musicals in high schools across the country, a musical tour, and great careers for the actors involved in this show. I am in my twenties and I absolutely LOVE this movie. …
Something’s Gotta Give Movie
What a fun movie!
As a woman of a certain age, I found “Something’s Gotta Give” spoke to me on many levels.
Jack Nicholson plays aging playboy Harry Sanborn who is dating famous playwright, Erica Barry’s (Diane Keaton) much younger daughter. The pressure of living up to his …
Amadeus - The Director’s Cut
One of the most brilliantly executed films that I have ever seen has to be the movie Amadeus, starring F. Murry Abraham and Tom Hulce. I was only a child when it first came out, but even then, I was fascinated by the antics of a child-like Mozart who dazzled …
Gone Girl (2014 film)
I’m another one of those very crazy Gone Girl fans that have also read the book. My very first introduction to Gone Girl was when I read, pretty desperately, this critically acclaimed novel in less than three days, often surrendering to feelings of “please, just another chapter” and discovering …
A Streetcar Named Desire movie
A Streetcar Named Desire is an excellent film to watch, especially for people who just adore black and white films. It is based on a Tennessee Williams play of the same title. It stars two of my favorite actors, Vivien Leigh aka Scarlett O’Hara and Marlon Brando …
Dancer in the Dark (2000)
This movie rocks my world everytime I warch it. Rocks my world, meaning that it plays with my feelings so easily, this movie absorbs me completely. It’s about pure emotion and empathy, presented in the most heartfelt way ever: a mother’s love for her son. The story is set …
A View to a Kill movie
In what would be Roger Moore’s last appearance as agent 007 James Bond (he was MORE than 50 years old here by the way) he’s confronted with perhaps the most colorful villain ever. He’s played by the excellent actor Christopher Walken and, obviously, is threatening to take over the …
Saving Privae Ryan
I remember going to the movies with my husband and father-in-law to see the movie Saving Private Ryan, starring Tom Hanks. I actually saw some old men with tears in their eyes having to leave the theater.
The movie starts with this old man bringing his family back …
Public Enemies (starring Johnny Depp)
In a stress world, do we still want to find money when we know that we are suffering in health like say, early signs of hypertension, nerve anxiety and stuff like that? It would be hazardous in the long run if we don’t rest well. Why are there …
Metro (1997)

This movie is for the advent court room fanatic…if you like law and the suspense behind the court scenes, then this movie is right up your alley. Theodore ‘Ted’ Crawford (Sir Anthony Hopkins) catches his wife cheating with a local detective. Staging an elaborate murder scene, he shoots his …
Disturbia
Shia LaBeouf starreer Disturbia is a really well directed thriller movie. I recently watched the movie on DVD and I must say I loved it very much. The movie had all the elements in a right mixture and this makes it a very good thriller movie. The best thing …
“Thor: The Dark World” movie
Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues with the second “Thor” movie. Interestingly enough, while events from “The Avengers” are alluded to, this acts much more as a sequel to the first movie than the superhero ensemble flick.
I had high hopes for this one as it had …
Fright Night
It’s sometimes amazing how you can watch a movie when you�re younger and think it�s scary but, when you watch the same movie several years later, you aren’t frightened at all.
The movie Fright Night is like this.
When I first watched Fright Night, I was a pre-teen and I thought …

Everybody Wants Some!! (2016 Film)
In my quest to find a better than your average film, I stumbled upon Everybody Wants Some!! in a somewhat forced manner. This was the first time I actually watched a film where the subject matter was something I’m not fond about. By the looks of it, the film was …
Chicago movie
“Chicago” is a 2002 film that won a ton of awards, including the Academy Award for Best Picture of the Year. It is a musical featuring Richard Gere, Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and it is really top notch. The music, singing, and acting are great.
Pros: …
The Mother (2003)
“The Mother” will be a shock to people under the age of thirty who can’t imagine their parents having sex at all much less have casual sex and enjoying it. The 112-minute UK film tells about May, a woman in her late fifties or sixties, and Toots, her husband …
Hairspray movie
I saw the original version of Hairspray with Ricki Lake on it. It made her a star. So when I found out that it was going to have a remake, I was very excited and saw it again. For me, the new Hairspray is way better than the original. …
Star Trek 2009
I just watched the new Star Trek film last night and was blown away at how good it really was. I am a Star Trek fan, although not of the hardcore trekkie variety, and I was a bit scepticle at first about the franchise being rebooted with an all …
Things We Lost in the Fire (R, 2007) movie
I was expecting a little bit of over-acting from Halle Berry, and perhaps even a bit too much gratuitous skin. There was indeed a lot of skin in this movie. But most of the skin shown was on the face–close-ups of the actors for long periods of …
Serendipity the Movie
SERENDIPITY is a 90 minutes story of comedy, romance and a pinch of fantasy starring John Cusack who plays Jonathan Trager and Kate Beckinsale, who plays Sara Thomas. It is directed by Peter Chelsom and written by Marc Klein. This movie was released and was …

What Happens in Vegas
It seems that the couple, Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher really works because thousands of people went to the cinema to watch “What Happens in Vegas” during the first weeks when thi movie was released.
What is so great about “What Happens in Vegas” that made it such a huge …
Pan’s Labyrinth
I recently watched Pan’s Labyrinth. First I must say that I rarely enjoy movies that I have to read the subtitles. If I wanted to read something it would be a book or a magazine or even a website. There I can go at my own pace and read …
What about Bob?
I really liked the movie What about Bob?. I think Bill Murray was very funny as the character of Bob. Bob is a guy who has mental problems and has to go see a shrink. He also is very paranoid and scared of everything. I think it’s very funny when …
