Film Ghostbusters
It was one of my most ardent childhood wishes that, when I grew up, I should marry Ghostbuster Egon Spengler.
One of the first blockbusters of the 1980’s Ghostbusters features an array of Saturday Night Live Players, and some of the finest comedians of the day. Conceived by Dan Aykroyd, …
The Call (Movie 2013)
As a fan of Halle Berry, I tend to tune into most everything she is featured in. When seeing the preview trailers for The Call, I was excited and dead set on seeing it. The previews were intriguing, but in a simple kind of way.
The Call isn’t meant …
Twilight movie
Twilight movie that recently launched some time ago to make a lot of hype because this movie adapted from the famous novel with the same title.
My own is a novel Twilight lovers, so I look forward this movie when it play in my country. And yesterday I can …
Breathless: A Film by Jean Luc Godard (1960)
I first had a snippet view of Breathless when it was aired in TV monde. I was rather clueless of what the film was about but admittedly I was drawn to the whimsical quality of the video. Even in stark black and white, Jean Seberg was a …
Bless The Child
Starring Kim Basinger (Maggie O’Connor), Jimmy Smits (John Tavis), Holliston Coleman (Cody), Rufus Sewell (Eric Stark), Angela Bettis (Jenna)
A horror show with a difference in the never-ending war between good and evil, this time the good triumphed. This is a wholesome horror movie …
Lovewrecked movie
When this movie came out, I wasn’t really sure if I’m going to watch it or not. I am not a very big fan of teen-age movies as I am not a teen-ager anymore. But since I admire Amanda Bynes so much, I decided to give it a try.
Here, …
Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Rust Never Sleeps
Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Rust Never Sleeps is a great, classic movie for all lovers of rock and roll. I adore Neil Young and consider him to be one of the greatest musicians ever. Neil Young’s guitar sound is like no other, as is his voice. Rust Never …

Evangelion:Death & Rebirth
A film based on the manga series called Evangelion. The story of this series is very, very complicated if you don’t know it well, and this film is definitely made for fans only, which is a shame I think because it has a lot of interesting qualities. The audience …

Goodfellas Movie
Scorsese’s depiction of the mafia society is regarded as a classic by many, and tells the life story of a man growing up with these mobsters and rising to the top very quickly. Scorsese uses a voice-over (a narrator) in a way here that has been influential on later …
Sunset Boulevard (1950) Movie
I love this classic old black and white movie and watch it every time it comes on TV. Directed by Billy Wilder (who also directed the fabulous Some Like it Hot amongst others), it tells the story of fictional silent movie star, Norma Desmond - played very melodramatically …

Babel (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to actually rent this movie. I knew that anything starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett would be really interesting. This movie did not disappoint. Following a couple who’s vacationing in and through Morocco, the audience gets to witness the aftermath occurring …
My Louisiana Sky movie
A film set in the 1950s America about a young girl who is raised by her grandmother because both her parents have severe diseases. When the grandmother dies the girl gets to live with her aunt instead, but she lives many miles away from her parents, and there is …
X-Men First Class movie
I saw this movie on opening day at around 3:30 pm-ish. The theatre was about half full so I got to enjoy the movie in a pretty nice seat at around the centre of the theatre. I usually sit further back, but this time, my entire vision …
Be Kind Rewind movie
The title and cover looked kind of cheesy to me, and so I guess that I was a little reluctant to watch it. I thought that it was going to have poor acting, bad visual effects, and a lame storyline. And it did, but it was absolutely hilarious.
Jack Black …
Groundhog Day movie
Bill Murray, who in my opinion is the greatest comedian since Groucho Marx, appears in the film a journalist who has to relive a day over and over. Apparently there is something he does wrong in this did and he tries to figure out what it is, but as …
One Hundred Men And A Girl movie
One Hundred Men And A Girl is an old film, made in 1937, about a girl who organizes an orchestra. The girl, Patsy, pulls together the orchestra because Patsy and her father need the work, as do the group of musicians, who are all without jobs at the present. …
Beowulf
I am so glad that I had the actual time from work and pleasure to see this wonderful movie! I feel that the epic poem has done way more service to America by using computer graphics then by being some live action drivel. I really liked hearing …
Art Of Revenge
Art Of Revenge is a Lifetime movie that starts off with a young, married couple who seems to have it all. Or at least that is what the movie producers want you to think. Art of Revenge started off, as I perceived the movie, with a whining wife and …
Movie Gomorrah
I had expected the movie —˜Gomorrah’ to be dark and violent, as the plot is about gangs in modern-day Naples, Italy, and it was certainly as I expected. What I hadn’t expected was that, along with the murder and drugs that are prominently featured in this sub-titled film, the …
Kung Fu Hustle movie
A delightful, side popping, laugh till you can’t breathe type movie. It’s original and did I mention that it’s funny as funny can get? You need to watch Kung Fu Hustle. There is no other film like it. And if you find that you like this movie, then you …
Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man (2012)
I went to see this movie on its opening day. The main thing that made me excited to see it was how hilarious the promotional commercials for the film were- especially the scenes featuring Comedian Kevin Hart. Even though there was a small part of me that …
Beneath movie
This was a very weird movie. The basis of it is a young girl, gets into a car accident her sister was in the car with her and her sister gets BADLY BADLY deformed from the accident. She goes through the whole movie trying to find out if her …
Kissed (R, 1996) movie
This was one of those films that was completely missed by the mainstream. The subject of necrophilia is quite a tricky one. But somehow the director of this film found a way to introduce the topic with not just sensitivity (is that even possible?) but …
Sicko documentary
Sicko is a documentary movie made by Michael Moore. Sicko covers the healthcare crisis in America and problems with insurance, people being uninsured, doctor and hospital costs and how Americans are being treated by the healthcare system. Sicko focuses more upon insurance than anything. Michael Moore also travels to …
Holy Motors (2012 film - avant garde, drama film)
Holy Motors is one of the best films I’ve seen in my life. But be warned, you may not understand it, or even like it, at all. Holy Motors is almost not even a film in the traditional sense of the word. Rather, it is a piece of extremely well …

Willy Wonka is Willy Bad
I have seen both versions of Willy Wonka and I can speak from personal experience. Johnny Depp couldn’t be more awful! The old version portrayed Wonka as a dignified adult of English society with a streak of uncontrollable genius.
In this movie the jokes are corny and disgusting, the Oopa …
Shrek the Third
In my opinion, Shrek the Third is the best movie of the Shrek movies. I liked Shrek 1 and Shrek 2 even more than 1 because of the addition of Puss in Boots. Shrek 3 I like even more than Shrek 2; that isn’t saying a whole …
Come to the Stable movie
What a wonderful, inspiring movie Come to the Stable is. I thought I’d already reviewed it, but a check shows I haven’t. Shame on me because this is one of my favorite holiday stories. It makes me feel good inside, and the story contains the Christmas …
Movie: Airplane II
I had a longer lunch yesterday than usual and ended up being able to watch the movie Airplane II: The Sequel.
It had been a while since I saw the movie so it was almost as though I was seeing it for the first time. And, after seeing it, I …
Prince of Darkness movie
John Carpenter is a filmmaker that used to be a master of the genre he worked in, but who lost all of his qualities in the 80s and only makes disasters nowadays. Prince of Darkness was made around the time when he was changing from a quality director into …
Max Payne
I was at first hesitant to watch the movie by Marc Wahlberg; though I know he is a good actor and has proven himself way too many times in his previous movies, I’d say I am glad that I did go to the movies and watched it. I really …
Annabelle (horror movie)
A friend of mine who loves horror movies encouraged me to watch the trailer for Annabelle, and I knew I just had to since it was supposedly based on the story of one of the haunted dolls that resides in Ed and Lorraine Warren’s doll room. I was so terrified …
What Just Happened film
“What Just Happened” is what I like to call a sleeper film. Much like fantasy football there are sleeper picks which are people that perform much better then thought. This film is the definition of that. “What Just Happened” didn’t have much promotion, actually I …
The Happening movie
Not very many movies can make me cover my eyes, but The Happening definitely did just that. This M. Night Shyamalan movie didn’t scare me per say, but it put me on the edge of my seat for the entire movie. Most of the …
Don’t Knock Twice, horror movie
Don’t Knock Twice is a Horror/Thriller movie directed by Caradog James.
The story revolves around an urban legend on an abandoned house own by a witch. The legend has it that if you knock on the door once, you’ll wake her from her bed, twice and wake her from her …
The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera is one of my most favorite musicals. I love the songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber (I think he’s a genius). I especially love ‘The Music of the Night’. That’s why when I heard that it was going to be made into a movie, I …
Meet The Robinsons
I don’t know why a super mall near my house make big promotion about this movie together with creativity programs for kids. I didn’t mean a promotion like another movie in big banner but this promotion made in big billboard and with brochure too. Of course I didn’t believe …
Goodfellas
Some people may say that Godfather is the greatest gangster movie of all time, and while I agree that it is an amazing movie, I believe that Goodfellas surpasses the Godfather. Goodfellas follows the rise and fall of a mob, specifically the storylines of three characters, Ray Liotta, …
The Butcher Movie
The thing about slasher movies is they normally are good if you’re looking for a good laugh or just like watching a lot of blood and gore. But, as far as being scary, most fall well short of expectations.
I had never heard of the movie The Butcher before so …
The Blind Side 2010 Movie
The Blind Side tells the true story of Michael Oher and how he was taken in by the Tuohy family. It shows how he overcame great obstacles to become an athlete and eventually came to play for the Baltimore Ravens.
Since this is a true story, I can spoil …
DVD North Country
Imagine a Lifetime Television Original with a bunch of four letter words and you get North Country.
North Country tells the (cliched) true tale of a woman who brought a class action sexual harrassement suit against the bad dialogue spewing management of a coal mine.
Movies like this have been a …
The Trip to Bountiful (1985)
This movie is so unusual, so unlike your typical Hollywood. Despite that, it has won an Oscar. A well-deserved Oscar, I must say.
Hollywood worships youth, beauty, riches. “The Trip to Bountiful” has a poor old lady for the main character, and the story focuses on her, from the beginning …
Urban Legends: Bloody Mary, movie
An interesting little horror movie, “Urban Legends, Bloody Mary” is the tale of a vengeful spirit coming back to take revenge years later and several girls accidentally say her name. The story opens with the proverbial tale of the legend and shows how Bloody Mary came to be after …
