Constant Gardener movie
If you went by the description on the back of the movie, the Constant Gardener is the best thriller to ever come to DVD. But, had there been anything better on television, I would have turned the movie off after the first 30 minutes.

Ice Age 3

This third installment of the Ice Age movies wasn’t as good …
Dune movie
Opinions on this cult classic science fiction movie based on the novel of the same name are divided. A lot of people don’t like it, while others love it. I saw this movie well over 10 years ago and I was less than impressed. I daresay …

This was a fun, entertaining comedy to watch and one I really enjoyed. I had never heard of it before when I found it on my library’s movie shelf, but it looked interesting so I checked it out. I’m glad I did, as it really is a gem.

Benchwarmers Movie
The Benchwarmers was a funny movie filled with great actors. It has to be funny with a lineup of David Spade, Jon Heder, and Rob Schnider. I found that there were several jokes that were PG-13 but nothing too severe. Jon Heder made it great. It really was a …

Dirty Girl (movie)
One of my favourite movies has got to be “Dirty Girl” starring Juno Temple. This was because of four main reasons. The first was the plot which I thought was very interesting even though it wasn’t particularly unique; the second was how it was filmed which I guess had …
Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie
When I watch the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I am absolutely amazed with the quality of the film, considering it was made almost 3 decades ago.
It’s hard to believe that’s Donald Sutherland in the starring role of Matthew Bennell and I was impressed with the …
Bad Santa
I’m not a huge Billy Bob Thornton fan so, when his movie Bad Santa came out, I really avoided watching it. However, it was on one of our movie channels the other day and, since there was nothing better on, I figured I would give it a chance.
It wasn’t …

The Addiction
The Addiction is a movie about vampires. It seems as if lately, in the last twenty years or so, there is a great interest in portraying vampires on the big screen, but not necessarily in the way that the older films used to. Maybe it started with spoofing Dracula, …
“Crash” Motion Picture
I rented Crash the film because it was on the top 100 list of netflix films and I had never seen it. I knew it was about car crashes but I so did not see this movie coming. It is mostly about race relations, anger …

The first time that I remember seeing the movie “Gattaca” was some years ago in about 2011. At the time I was a bit baffled because here was this science fiction movie with actors such as Ethan Hawke , Jude Law and Uma Thurman that was released in 1997, …

Ratatouille
When I saw Disney had come out with a new animated movie about a rat who is aspiring to be a French chef, I will have to say I had my doubts. It sounded like a cute concept but the thought of a rodent handling food people eat just …
Meet the Fockers
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed watching ‘Meet the Fockers’ when it came out on DVD. I personally feel it was much better than the prequel, ‘Meet the Parents.’ It was nice to see Robert DeNiro and Dustin Hoffman play …

Simpsons Movie
When the Simpsons started on television, I thought it was the best show ever. But, over the past few years, the episodes seemed forced and less and less original.

I skipped seeing this …
You don’t mess with the Zohan
I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is its a little less funnier than previous Adam Sandler movies. Yes it has its funny moments but there are also a lot of boring and corny parts. The main story is about …
Movie: “Risky Business”
Tom Cruise had his big break in “Risky Business” back in 1983, and I could see why: the movie is the ultimate coming-of-age story, with all the expect twists and turns.
Cruise plays awkward teenager Joel, who longs to be cool - he dreams of sex, money, and popularity. When …

Prom Night was recently released out here in the United Kingdom and I decided to go and see it with a friend at my local Showcase Cinema in Walsall. I always enjoy a good cinema experience. The experience with friends, the laughs and the jokes and then of course …
Fun with Dick and Jane movie
Yes, this movie was funny but I miss the old Jim Carrey. This is not nearly as funny as some of his prvious hits like Liar, Liar or Ace Ventura. This movie is more up to par with Bruce Almighty so it definitely has its funny parts …
