Richie Rich
Richie Rich was a very good movie that came out in the 1990s. It is based off of the TV show that was a cartoon. But this movie is all about the real life Richie Rich. It it basically the same story as the old cartoon TV show, but much …
Bean (Movie)
For those who have watched Mr Bean’s show once you will realize how much the situation in this movie is an invitation to disaster: a plane ride for the United States (heavens, Mr. Bean in an airplane, remember how he was in a mini car) to go to a …
Hotel Rwanda
I can vaguely remember news reports in the nineties when I was a child of war and genocide taking place in the African province of Rwanda between the Hutu and the Tutsis. I was about six years old when all of this was taking place, so I was blissfully …
13: Game of Death (Movie)
This was actually a pretty good movie and I was surprised that I liked it because I usually don’t like Japanese imports. Technically this one is from Thailand, but I didn’t realize that until I went to change the subtitles on the movie.
The movie is all about this …
Slumdog Millionaire
I actually didn’t know what to expect of the movie Slumdog Millionaire. I was worried that it would be a bollywood type production, which I was not really interested in seeing. I was also a bit skeptical on just how good a movie starring actors in their first large …
Big Bad Wolves (thriller movie)
I think that the theme of Vigilantism never truly loses its charm no matter how many times movies are made on the subject. This is why I was quite interested in watching the movie “Big Bad Wolves”. I’d never seen an Israeli film before and I was curious to know …
High Crimes movie
As a person who loves both courtroom dramas and military movies, High Crimes is the perfect film for me because it gives me a good combination of both.
Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd play attorneys who are attempting to free Judd’s husband from prison after the military calls him a …
Mr.Deeds
Mr.Deeds is a mediocre comedy movie. This Adam Sandler and Winona Ryder starred movie misses something which makes it not appealing much to the viewer. Though the movie has a decent plot and impressive star cast, it some how doesn’t manage to attract the viewer. It is the story …
Masada movie
The Roman general Flavius gets the mission to defeat a band of jews hiding in the middle of the palestinian desert, inside a fortress that seem impossible to break into.
An old costume film of an era that passed away a long time ago. There aren’t any costume films of …
The Green Berets movie
John Wayne was one of the most patriotic personalities in America. He was devout in his devotion, and he was very vocal. Not everyone agreed with him or liked him, but The Duke put his money where his mouth was, including producing and directing this military picture in …
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)
In the early parts of this movie, we see Martin Lawrence’s character RJ Stevens as a successful talk show host with a trophy lady by his side. He has made a name for himself by promoting the ‘Team of Me’ slogan. He gets an invite for a family reunion …
Heartbreak Ridge Movie
Clint Eastwood is a military marine officer who is sent back to his old team because of violent behaviour. He shows them new methods and train them to elite soldiers, even though the head officers don’t approve of his methods.
One this is for sure, this is not one of …
Cat’s Eye
I have to say I really enjoyed the Stephen King movie Cat’s Eye. This movie was very intense and actually had me feeling scared. I thought that Quitter’s INC was a very scary episode in the film. You see Cat’s Eye is made up of 3 short movies and it …
Twin Peaks Season 2
My two big brothers got me hooked on Twin Peaks only about five years ago. I had heard of the series before, but had never had the chance to watch it on television. I was too young! I liked the first season, despite the fact that it …
Movie Martha Behind Bars
Martha Behind Bars is a Lifetime movie that tells the tale of Martha Stewart after her trial and subsequent sentence to five months in prison for the Wall Street scandal she was involved in. Now, there are things that I like about Martha Stewart and even more things that …
Mr Brooks DVD
I have stated before that we love to watch movies. One of my favorite actors is Kevin Costner. I usually tend to watch movies that contain actors or actresses that appeal to me. So when Rob and I saw this advertisement for Kevin Costner, starring in a …
Moon: Movie
Moon is a very interesting and intriguing film that I found to be a very decent watch, if a little confusing at times.
I thought the idea for the back story was quite good, as it’s not something I’ve seen done successfully before. But the plot twists really make it …
The Expendables 2 movie
When going to watch the sequel to 2010’s action packed “The Expendables”, I was initially sceptical, based on the previous outing from Stallone and co. The original, while impressing with it’s juicy, gory action scenes, did little for me, with shaky stiff performances from Stallone and some of the …
Sherlock Holmes 2009 - Lock, Stock and Several Exploding Barrels.
This rollicking take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes mythology brings the old hack’s story up to date with several bangs. From the moment the film starts, we are plunged into the seedy underworld of Victorian London, and introduced to a hero who is both brilliant and rather unbalanced.
Robert …
10,000 BC
We went to Washington DC last night to see a sneak preview of the new movie coming out called 10,000 B.C. It was nothing like what I thought it would be. The concept of the movie was that there was this village of hunters living in the mountains, …
Seven Pounds (2008)
This movie tells the story of a troubled man who has made decisions to help total strangers by doing selfless acts of kindness this is one way to look at the story mind you. I am torn whether to tell you what the other aspect could be until you …
Stargate SG-1 The First Commandment
The fifth episode of the first season of Stargate SG-1 was called “The First Commandment”. Frankly, it’s not a big favorite of mine, though it has some fun moments to it.
Basically, the episode is about an SG team leader gone bad. He starts believing he’s a god. …
Rio - Blue Sky Studios Animated Movie
Rio is an animated movie by the company Blue Sky Studios. It tells the story of a group of tropical birds that are kidnapped and try to escape.
I have only recently began to watch Blue Sky Studios movies and the one thing that seems to be consistent is …
Jason Goes to Hell (Rated Version)
Jason Goes to Hell is the ninth, and supposedly last movie in the Friday the 13th series of horror movies. The movie itself has been panned by fans because it completely disregards the other movies. In this one we are led to believe that Jason isn’t the ordinary man …
Yankee Doodle Goes to Town movie short
I actually just stumbled upon this movie short from 1939 while looking for something to watch on television. It’s called Yankee Doodle Goes to Town, and it’s definitely a pro-America, pro-democracy creation. It’s theme is that America continues to rise up, to defeat its foes, and that …
Inkheart (staring Brandon Fraser)
This is one of the best movie stared by Brandon Fraser. He has done a good job in this movie. As a character named Mo, which is one of the Silvertongues (person who can make a character of a story book comes to real world), he act in his …
Screwballs, comedy film
Before American Pie was known as a classic there was Screwballs. This movie shaped what we now know as the modern teenage flick, a group of guys making a pact together and trying to follow through during the rest of the movie. A simple movie idea that is full …

Memoir of a Geisha is a movie about a Geisha that have a very tough time growing up and she had come from a very poor background. She was treated very badly since childhood and one day she met a wealthy man that really loves her and try to …
Jennifer’s Body Movie
I consider Jennifer’s Body as a teen horror movie. The film’s story revolves around a young girl’s weird transformation which changed the lives of everyone in their town. Jennifer becomes possessed because of some dark ritual performed on her, giving her inhuman abilities. In turn, she …
Montana Sky film
I am reviewing the Nora Roberts movie, Montana Sky. So there’s this woman. Her father dies. She lives and works on his ranch. She finds out she has two other sisters, who come to the funeral. In the will’s reading, it says that the three of them must live …
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
This is going to be one of those movies that you will be quoting from for the rest of your life. I promise you. I remember back in the day when it first came out and I thought it was hilarious. I thought I was the only one who …
The Matrix
Watching The Matrix movie is really exiting and absorbing the attention adventure. Based on a original idea, it shows us one fantastic reality, in which the the ordinary people became extraordinary under the pressure of the circumstances. The main meaning is that the most important thing in our …
Ice Age (The Movie)
I loved this movie so much because it was funny and very touching. Who would have thought that prehistoric animals could have made me get in touch with my softer side? The plot consists of a wooly mammoth, a saber tooth tiger and wonderful sloth named Sid. Each …
Due South: Diefenbaker’s Day Off
Diefenbaker’s Day Off is the next regular episode of the first season of Due South, and it’s pretty funny. Canadian Mountie Benton Fraser tells his wolf, Diefenbaker, that he needs a license, but he’s having trouble getting one. It could be because Dief, as he’s commonly called, …
SiCKO
As a liberal democrat, I enjoy Michael Moore’s films. While they are obviously biased, they are backed up with facts. But the bias is what the republicans mock. In this film, Michael Moore questions why Americans as a whole seem to have this deep-rooted fear of a universal health …
Forrest Gump (1994)
Forrest Gump, directed by Robert Zemeckis is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for drug content, some sensuality and war violence. The original release date was July 6, 1994 for United States audience. This movie falls in the gerne of Comedy/Drama/Romance and stars Tom Hanks as …
In a lonely place movie
Nicholas Ray showed his incredible craft and vision with this Humphrey Bogart-film of the early 1950s. Ray worked in many different genres and did an excellent job almost every time, but perhaps he is most famous for his cult rated Rebel without a cause with James Dean. In a …
Revolutionary Road movie
This movie was utterly depressing. I think many couples would be quite stricken after watching this. It may be focused on married couples, but I think that the theme encompasses all relationships anywhere in the world because it tackles a very important yet often overlooked issue: communication.
The Wheelers …
21st Century Breakdown
After 5 years of waiting and waiting for their green day to come out with an new album, i have to say the album was defiantly worth the wait, but nothing more. The album is of course amount my favorites, however it does not surpass dookie as my all …
She’s The Man
My friend often talks abut how good this movie is but it took a little while before I saw the movie myself. At first, I thought that it was just one of those flirty high school movies because at the start of the film it was more of those …
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 …
“Phone” Movie 2004 from Tartan Asia Extreme
I rented this movie from Netflix because I had pretty much seen all the other horror ones on my list and had become bored waiting for new ones to come out. I had enjoyed foreign films in the past, and always found Asian horror to be different and interesting. Like …
Iron Man
Admittedly, I am no huge fan of the comic book movie genre, usually, I find the over-the-top performances and plots a bit too much to swallow. However, I can honestly say that I quite enjoyed Iron Man. I like that the movie was not made to specifically pander to …
Mirrors movie
Personally, I like this movie. Although it is another English remake of a Japanese movie, which I have not seen, the movie was still pretty impressive. The story line was good, although some aspects of the story needed to be explained a little better, or just explained at all. …
Footloose movie
When I was younger I wanted to watch the movie “Footloose” very badly. I was a small child in the early nineties, and would sometimes see the movie going on some Sundays on one of the local channels, but ironically I never got to see it until I was …
Legally Blonde 2: Red White & Blonde (2003)
As if the first movie was not bad enough for the viewers, there is now this load of what can only be called utter crap of a movie. This time, it is now Elle’s job to bring a voice to the animals when she discovers that her dog’s mother …
Jake Spanner, Private Eye movie
Robert Mitchum starred in 1989’s Jake Spanner, Private Eye which had a unique opening of having Spanner dreaming and using excerpts from Mitchum’s movies as the dream. That was intriguing. Before the viewer has a chance to really chuckle and enjoy that, the credits start and, wow, …
Blood Diamond
‘Blood Diamond’ is a movie directed by Edward Zwick. Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsoun are the main actors. They have performed well in the movie. Diamonds are a status of wealth, but if you watch this movie, you will come to know that in the places where diamonds are …
Pirates of the Caribbean - The curse of the Black Pearl
This is a great no brainer movie. Full of great action scenes and funny ironic comic relief that anyone who watches will relate to. With the help of special effects and great cinematography you are taken into an adventure that in convincing and applicable to the time for which …
