When my family rented the film from our local Hastings a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea what this “Sweeney Todd” character entailed. Indeed, the name sounded more of the same banal comedic drudgery that plagues the genre. My initial suspicions were proved utterly superficial when I …

This is either a movie you’re going to love or you’re going to hate. As such, it’s understandable why this movie got mixed reviews. What I had read had been more positive than negative so I went ahead and picked it up on DVD (this was before …

I was digging through our movie cabinet a couple days ago (trying to find my daughter’s missing Nintendo DS) when I came across the movie Horror Express.
To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t even remember picking up this movie. I think my wife bought it for me from …

This mini-series drew me in right away, probably because of the international aspect of the story. I like movies that offer insight into different cultures, and this is one of them. The story takes place in India, focusing on a British boy Ashton and an Indian princess Anjuli. They …

The sequel to Batman Begins was a real shocker, it was very different than the first, and I will admit that it was one of the darkest movies that I have ever seen, but also one of the very best. I was so sad when I heard that Heath …

“12 Years A Slave” is a 2013 Biography, drama and history movie directed by Steve McQueen. I found the title of this movie to be very attractive making me imagine about some kind of slavery story. I didn’t recognized any of the main actors in the movie except Brad …

I feel that V for Vendetta is a very good film that is based on what I feel is an excellent topic.

One of the things I …

The 2010 comedy, “Easy A” was a teenage centered comedy that reflected some of the problems seen in the “Scarlet Letter”. While some of the problems faced by the chatacters in this film are very exagerated, the principle and message behind them are none the less impacting.
Emma Stone (from …

Little Miss Sunshine is a road movie with a difference. A dysfunctional family from suburbia on their way to child’s talent contest seemed about as attractive to me as watching paint dry ! But I must say I was pleasantly surprised. A nice mix of humour and pathos and …

The Ugly Truth is another one of those date movies. It stars Katherine Heigl of Grey’s Anatomy fame as the heroine Abby, a control freak working in one of those high-pressure, high-profile movie networks. The casting gets better, wow, the lead actor is Gerard Butler who ably …

I brought Eeyan and Natasha, my 2 cute nephew and niece, respectively to watch Kung Fu Panda (2008). It was real super fun and we had a great time. The thing was that I was supposed to go with my date on that day, this 26 year …

A most bizarre danish science fiction b-movie from the 1960s. A terrible monster seems to appear out of nowhere and starts terrorising people. The military sees no way of getting rid of the creature and is getting more and more desperate.
This could indeed be the very definition of a …

Watched Alice in Wonderland with hubby last night. To be honest, I can’t remember the original movie and what the whole story was all about. I just remember the characters and that it was one of the stories often told to us when we were kids. This movie I’ve …

From the previous movie, the remaining dream …

Disney’s A Christmas Carol (2009) is a 3-D animation retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel [Rated PG for scary sequences and images].
At the outset I will admit that I have never been a Jim Carrey fan, and my favorite version of Christmas Carol will forever be the …

Who can forget the wonderful song, 76 Trombones? Not me, and that’s why The Music Man is so memorable. I do love this movie, although I’m not all that hooked on the chemistry of Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. Both are great in their roles, and …

This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …

The movie, the Adventures of Milo and Otis is as a great family film with just the right amount of adventure mixed with plenty of cuteness.
Chronicling the adventure of a cat and dog that are best friends but get separated from each other, the film is an hour of …

OK, so I absolutely bashed the first two prequels in the series. And while Episode 3 does deserve some hate, it’s not near the level of hate I gave to the first two. Hayden Christiansen still can’t act and he and Natalies relationship is still one of …

Before Christmas, my 6 year old daughter kept saying she wanted Hannah Montana tickets. Well, that was something that wasn’t going to happen, so I thought. There were no concerts coming to our area and even if there were, I heard tickets were almost impossible to get. …

Ok, I’ve heard the song enough this holiday season to make my head explode. But, I have to admit the animated movie based on Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer was actually pretty good.
The movie, which I didn’t time but believe is about an hour long, basically gives …

The only disadvantage about this movie which I remember is that I thought the movie should have been a little longer. A part from that it is one of my favorite vampire movies. The movie has no old, or middle aged man playing the role of Count Dracula and …

I’m a sucker for horror movies. Therefore it was a given that I had to check out the movie “The Babadook” once I read about it in an article online. The writer claimed it was one of the most frightening and talked about movies of the year and I was …

This was by far one of the dumbest movies I have ever had the misfortune of watching. I was made to watch this by a friend and tried to watch it with an open mind, but that was dashed 5 minutes into the movie. Don’t get me wrong, Martin …

I’m not the biggest fan of sports movies, generally speaking. However, the movie “A League of Their Own” stands alone as just a wonderful movie, regardless of the sports theme. I just recently viewed the film for the second time on one of my satellite movie networks, …
