Movie: “Stephen King’s It” (1990)
Having read the book multiple times, I was horribly disappointed with the two-part miniseries “It”, aired in 1990 on ABC. There was so much left out; I can’t believe Mr. King even allowed it to be produced.
The plot of the mini-series only loosely follows the plot of the original …
Remember the titans
Usually I don’t like movies about football or any sport for that matter. I really liked this movie though. It has Denzel Washington in it. I think he did an amazing job in this movie, like he usually does. The movie was good because it had a very good …

Isn’t she Great movie
A film about the author Jacqueline Susann and the way she went from one of the most hated to one of the most beloved. The key was how her books were marketed in different ways, and how they finally did this came to change the book industry for ever.

Videodrome movie
Cronenberg’s cult rated film features James Woods as a man being consumed by media, psychologically and physically, in perhaps the most bizarre way ever seen. It begins as what seems like a very serious and slowly paced film, but ends up as a plain horror film with loads of …
The Warriors

This classic struggle for survival is one of my all time favorites. The action all occurs at night on the streets of New York City. I think that I enjoyed it so much because I could …
Mr. Bean’s Holiday
I have always been a fan of the television show Mr. Bean. I enjoyed the first Mr.Bean movie and I must say Mr. Bean’s Holiday is far better and funnier than the first one! Mr. Bean is played by the British actor, Rowan Atkinson. His adventure began when Mr. …
The Interview - (2014) Movie
I’m sure everyone has heard of the movie, ‘The Interview’ starring Seth Rogen and James Franco. I’ve seen the movie name in the news many times in the past few months because of North Korea’s displeasure with the movie revolving around the assassination of Kim Jong Un and more …

Braveheart Movie
This is my favorite movie of all time…and a magnificent film directed by and starring Mel Gibson. It tells the true story of a Scotsman fighting for the freedom of his country after his wife was killed by an English lord. It also has a crazed Irishman who claims …
See No Evil (R, 2006) movie
Horror movies these days have taken the plunge–into the cheesy. I thought “See No Evil” would be one of those films. And to a degree it is. The same character set-up applies which involves a group of teens and a creepy old house. This time …
In the Shadow of Evil movie

Ratatouille (2007 film)
The 2007 children’s animation movie “Ratatouille” is a fun family film that kept me entertained and laughing as I watched a rat long to be a chef, and work with a man in France to not only further the humans career, but be able to cook delicious foods that …
Confessions of a Shopaholic movie
I felt sad after watching this movie. I thought it had great promise considering it was dealing with a different kind of addiction. Unfortunately, the script and the beat made the theme unimportant and somewhat irrelevant. I found so many scenes quite slapstick-y and dumb, and I felt irritated …
Obsessed the movie
I saw the Beyonce movie, Obessed, last night with my husband. It was honestly exactly what I expected. I didn’t expect something that would have me sitting on the edge of my seat, and it didn’t. The story line was fast moving and kept me interested, but it didn’t …
A Walk in The Clouds
“A Walk in the Clouds” is my favourite Keanu Reeves involvment in a romantic movie because it has all the right ingredients for a great romantic movie. This fact was also confirmed by winning the Golden Globe Awards for best original score.
I believe that this movie must have haunted …
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013) movie
Today (30/08/13) I had went to watch The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones with my best-friend at Hoyts Cinema, NZ. And boy was I glad I had paid $17 of my allowance to watch it! :D

Rock On movie
When the promos were being aired on the television for the film Rock On, I thought that it would be all about a rock band with some loud and vulgar music. Strangely, my friends were bent at watching the movie in the theater. I yielded to their demand and …
Movie Recycle
This is a crazy movie; some people would say that it is weird and that they didn’t understand it. Honestly I think that this is the type of movie where you either like it or you don’t. I just thought it was overall crazy and honestly I don’t even …
Die Hard 4.0 Movie Starring Bruce Willis
For me, Bruce Willis will always be the godfather of action films and he just simply has a way of playing his role sole well that whenever I see him in a different setting, outside of a film and in an interview, it has a certain unnaturalness about it …
Ninga Turtles Cartoon
The teenage mutant ninga turtles, is a cartoon that has cartoon turtles that know karate. The turtles all fight to help protect the city, they save people and fight crime. The show seems like it has a kind of weird concept, but it really is a great cartoon …

Prom Night Movie
Recently I had the chance to watch the new remake of Prom Night. I’ve been a fan of horror movies for a long time and actually saw the original, though I can’t recall it very clearly. The original actually inspired a handful of sequels, starring other actresses that were …
Space Camp
I was flipping channels the other day and came across the film Space Camp on one of our movie channels. I have to tell you, it was the first time in years I had seen the movie and it really isn’t as good as I remember it being.
I think …
Nightmare Before Christmas
It’s baaaaack! Tim Burton’s classic movie The Nightmare Before Christmas is back, better than ever- and now in 3-D!
I am a huge fan of Jack “The Pumpkin King” Skellington and the gang- and since the Disney hit was released first in 1993, then re-released out of the vault …
The Phantom (Movie)
The Phantom is a movie that stands out in my mind as one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. Sadly though my memories never actually live up to the real movie. Every few years I re-watch the movie, and every time I end up feeling a …
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie
I think the movie “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” was supposed to be based upon a novel by the same name as I think I remember my boyfriend recommending it to me to read. However, I never read the book and I only watched the movie. I can …
Land of the Dead movie
This is the fourth film in George A Romero’s zombie film series (supposed to be a trilogy, but..). It follows the films Night of the living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978) and Day of the Dead (1985). My own personal favorite is the first film, mostly because …
Movie Coraline

‘Deadpool’ Movie
People had been clamoring for a “Deadpool” movie starring Ryan Reynolds for years. We came close with “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. The actor was cast to play the reputed “merc with a mouth”, but while Reynolds shined in the early scenes, the actual Deadpool was a stunning disappointment. Nevertheless, fans still …

Brooklyn Castle - Documentary
The documentary Brooklyn Castle, in my opinion can be attributed to many positive events after its airing. For instance, right after I watched the film I learned that an Inner City school in Brooklyn was the first school of its class to win the High School Championship put …
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 …
Yaadein (movie), 2001
The yaadein (remembrance) of the film Yaadein in perhaps no longer in any of our mind apart from its lovely songs and charming promotional advertisements (Lol). This movie released in 2001 and was directed by Subhash Ghai. I remember how lovely the promotional advertisement of the film was and …

I’m not sure why exactly I liked Sin City, I just know I did.
Starring Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba, Sin City places you in the middle of a comic book in a fictional city full of mobsters, gun toting prostitutes and three heros who face all odds for the …
Fair Game movie
A second rate action film with the model Cindy Crawford in the role of a woman who is followed by a seemingly crazy man. This whole film is an excuse for promoting Crawford’s career in my opinion, and that result is, not very unexpected, an embarrassing attempt of something …

Fullmetal Alchemist: Episode 21 begins with Roy reprimanding Riza Hawkeye for giving up on living after she believed that Roy Mustang was dead. Ed and Al figuring out how to lure out the Homunculi. Jean Havoc is in the hospital and we found out what’s going to happen to …
Murder on the Orient Express movie
I’ve never seen Murder on the Orient Express before, though I’ve often heard about it and have seen many commercials promoting various incarnations of it over the years. I’ve been curious about the Agatha Christie story for a long time, but for whatever reason never actually sat down …
The Little Mermaid
This is one of my most love animation movies. I saw this film when I was still a child and I enjoyed watching it so much. This movie made my imagination work and also left me a lot of lessons. Although 3D animation was not yet that advance at …
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003 Drama Movie)
I heard of the movie Girl with a Pearl Earring long before I watched it, but I just figured that it would be one of those overblown movies that would only be popular because it had a Hollywood sex symbol playing one of the main roles. However, after forcing myself …
Reno 911! Miami (Movie)
Reno 911! is a television show that I’ve watched since it first started. When I first saw the previews for their first full length movie, I couldn’t wait to see it. I dragged a friend with me to the theater, and while he loved it, I found it fairly …

Cleaner, thriller film
Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, and Eva Mendes make up a stellar cast that didn’t make it too big in theaters. Cleaner feels a lot like an episode of CSI, a television show that has millions of viewers each and every week. With its CSI qualities there is more …
Happy Feet
When this came out into cinemas, my family and I were on vacation so we weren’t able to watch it on the big screen. I’ve been hearing a lot of wonderful feedback from other moms about this movie and how their children loved it. I felt sorry for my …
