Movie High School Musical 3
Unfortunatley, my girlfriend found it amusing to drag me out to the cinema to see High School Musical 3. While she found it very amusing, and very entertaining, I myself found it to be a load of cobblers. The film itself was very tacky, and seemed like it was …
Ghost Rider
Somewhere down the line, Hollywood thought Nick Cage would make a good action star. I’m sorry, but that logic is flawed and the movie Ghost Rider proves it.
Overall, Ghost Rider is a good film; or, at very least, a unique one. Cage plays a stuntman who makes a deal …

There is a plot of course, …

Tooth Fairy movie 2010
For its ideals and values, I give this film a B+ but as an entertainment source it has to be a C. Although it had some good moments, overall it didn’t impress me. The storyline was bland, typical, and cutesy. I’m sure kids love it for the …

Shallow Grave
Danny Boyle’s Shallow Grave is a high tension, psychological thriller that unfortunately, tends to be overshadowed by his much more acclaimed Trainspotting. This is unfortunate, because in my opinion Shallow Grave is almost as fantastic as that film, and deserves the attention of more people.
The film follows three housemates; Alex, …

Erin Brockovich movie
I found it weird that someone was requesting a review on “Erin Brockovich” on here but I thought, “Hey I’ve seen that movie. I’ll tell him/her what I think.” Well, Julia Roberts is in fact very good in the role as is Albert Finney. It is a very well …
Envy (movie)
