The Day the Earth Stood Still movie
I don’t know what on the earth prompt me to go for this movie; I had already read so many reviews about the film with filled mixed reactions. Those who had watched highly acclaimed classic with the same name made in 1951 simply loathed this one. I myself had …
13 going 30
“13 going 30″ is one of my favourite movies of the actress, Jennifer Garner. Apart from the fact that the story is a good mix between romance, comedy and fantasy, I feel that this actress together with her on screen partner, Mark Ruffallo make such a great couple.
This movie …

Saw V (2008) movie
Saw V is the latest instillation in the Saw’s series not much really too great to say about it except that it does keep the story going. The series itself has kind of fallen out for me but the movies have become a staple of the horror movie genre …

The Dilemma (Movie)
The Dilemma is newly out of cinemas (Depends where you live) here in South Africa. The trailer was very ammusing, and i thought the movie would be hilarious.

Mr. Destiny (1990)
I am always saying “Be careful what you wish for, as fate it seems, is not without a sense of humor” and to this day I continue to prove that very same thing. Nothing that you wish for even comes to be exactly the way you wish it; instead, …
Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (UR, 2006) movie
I am completely and wholeheartedly in love with this film. And that’s because this movie is all about satire and parody. But what is even more enticing is the the subject matter. Politically incorrect in its delivery, this movie is really a tongue-in-cheek “guide” for …

Superbad
When I first saw the previews for Superbad, I was extremely excited and was ready to see one of the funniest movies in recent memories. All of the critics were praising it and when I walked into the theater I was ready to have my mind blown. …
Wreck It Ralph Movie
Disney pretty much nailed it with this movie in every way possible. I can safely say it does not target a specific audience but rather promotes interest in all age ranges. It is rated PG and I can understand why by I urge you not to deter …

Terminator Salvation
I recently rented Terminator Salvation in the hopes of a pretty engaging action movie with cool special effects and a little bit of good acting thrown in for good measure. I’ve enjoyed previous Terminator flicks and I figured this one couldn’t be too bad given the cast and …
Mr. and Mrs. Smith:Movie
It starts with a couple in counselling…funny…that’s how it ends also, but that’s not the highlight. They are actually contract killers in disquise as ordinary everyday hardworking civilians. They go out in the mornings to their respective jobs and they come home every evening to have dinner by 7pm. …
Employee of the Month
I saw previews for Employee of the Month a few months ago but never made an effort to rent it. It just didn’t look that good.
But, when it became available on Showtime, I decided to at least give it a chance. I wasn’t disappointed.
Like most movies that take place …
Dracula: Dead and Loving it
I’m a huge fan of Mel Brooks movies, so when I got a chance to see the film “Dracula Dead and Loving it” again, I had to take it.
As far as his movies are concerned, this isn’t going to rank as high as other films like Blazing Saddles or …
Up film
Up is another one of those animated films from Pixar that comes out every so often that we feel we’re too old for but end up watching anyhow. At least, that’s how I usually feel about animated films these days.
Up is about an old man, Carl Fredricksen who …
Movie Yes Man
Today I saw the newest Jim Carrey movie, Yes Man at the cinema. Like the other Jim Carrey’s movie, it’s a drama comedy movie that can make me laugh and entertein me.

Little Fockers
Meet the Parents was a classic. Meet the Fockers did not enjoy as much critical success as the original, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately, the film to complete the trilogy is as stale and pointless as any of the other third movies you can remember.
Greg and …
The Unfinished Dance movie

The Smoking Room movie
This show follows a group of smokers from a run of the mill office building in London. Each episode is shown in real time, the thirty minutes we see told continuously. The action never veers away from the smoking room itself, instead characters come and go.
It’s a simple …
Knocked Up
Knocked Up is an honest, down-to-earth movie about a one-night stand gone terribly wrong. From its title, you can sense the bluntness that is also throughout the film. The dialogue it truly funny and easy to associate with because it feels like stuff your friends would really say in …

There are two realities: one that consists of the life we live every day - and one that lies behind it. One is a dream, the other is the …
Movie Open Water
Open Water was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. When I first started the movie, I thought, “Oh, well maybe this is one of those movies that has a good storyline, but just a low budget”. But, I guess I was wrong. It …
Inside by Dimension Extreme movie
This is definitely a must see movie if you a fan of gruesome horror. This is probably one of the bloodiest and most disturbing movie that I have seen in a long time!
It has a great story behind it. A pregnant woman loses her husband in a …
The Diamond Tooth
I am reviewing the Case of the Diamond Tooth, a Sherlock Holmes episode from the boxed set, Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Series 39 Thrilling Episodes. This series was produced by Sheldon Reynolds and filmed in France in the fifties. Ronald Howard, the son of actor Leslie Howard, …
P2: Killer in a Parking Garage?
This has some spoilers, but believe me it is not that great of a movie, the spoilers will not be what ruins the movie, trust me.
My friend brought this movie out as something her mom had gotten from somebody at work, and said it was apparently supposed to …

“The life of David Gale” movie
History of sentenced to death, university lecturer and social activist divides the viewers. The film can be assessed in two ways. The positive side is its message and emotions triggered in the viewer, negative - a lot of shortcomings in terms of direction and screenplay.
Despite the various advantages and …
The Butler (Historical Drama Movie)
I like historical dramas so when I found out about The Butler I knew immediately that I just had to see it, even if I wasn’t able to view it in theatres at the time. Shortly after the amount of bad reviews and ratings it had received from regular viewers …
X-Men (Movie)
As a fan of the comics and early morning animated show, I always felt this movie was a long time coming. Thankfully, someone finally saw fit to bring Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops and the rest to the big screen and under the direction of Bryan Singer; the X-Men were finally …
Romeo and Juliet
I am reviewing the movie, Romeo and Juliet. This is Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Seventeen-year-old Leonard Whiting and 15-year-old Olivia Hussey play Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers who defy their feuding families in order to be together. Leonard Whiting and Olivia do …
Entrapment
“Entrapment” is the movie were the likes of Sir Sean Connery mix up with at the time rising star Catherine Zeta Jones. The result is simply a great movie with drama, action and romance making the most of a great issue at the time the milliannium conversion.
In …
Movie Hitman
Watching the DVD movie, Hitman really makes me yawn so much. Though it is based from a game from Playstation or something, it does nothing to me at all. It’s like watching Alias or just a B-Grade TV action drama series or something. I really felt it …
Tangled Movie
Another fairy tale princess movie from Disney that is a throw back to the good old days of enchantment and sweetness.
Rapunzel, kidnapped as a baby, is imprisoned in a tower by a woman she grows up thinking is her mother. Each year on her birthday her …
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
I watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen the other day with my whole bunch of friends and it was a very good movie. I love everything about this movie, even though it’s a guy type of movie. The action sequences are not bad, there are lots of humor …
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 Princess Bride Movie
I have watched the movie The Princess Bride countless times now. And, I have to say, even after seeing it more times than just about any other movie (including Star Wars), this film is still as good as it was the first time I saw it.
The thing I like …
Sonic SatAM
I had heard great things about this show from several different people. I remember seeing it occasionally back when it was on Saturday mornings, but I didn’t watch it regularly simply because I had no clue who most of the characters were.
I picked up the DVD …
House of 9
When I watched House of 9 a couple of days ago, I had hoped I would get a psychological thriller. What I got was a dragged out drama with much more talk than action.
The plot of the movie should have been a good one. Nine people are kidnapped and …
Norbit (2007)
Yet another movie where Eddie Murphy feels the need to play multiple roles. The question is, aren’t there any other actors aor actresses that could play the other roles that he plays or does he just love to see himself?
Norbit is one of the dumbest movies that I’ve seen …
Disney’s Prep & Landing
A couple days ago, I saw previews for a new animated Christmas special called Disney’s Prep & Landing. It looked kind of cute so I took the time to watch it with our daughter last night (she had a snow day today so I didn’t mind letting her stay …
