Love Comes Softly
‘Love Comes Softly’ is the first of a series of movies based on books by Janette Oke, a popular Christian author. Janette Oke writes romance, and romance is considered to be a ‘women’s genre’. However, I wouldn’t call this movie a ‘women’s movie.’ I watched it together with my …

The movie Snow Buddies
Snow Buddies…. oh my goodness. There were so many Air Bud films that it was ridiculous. Now comes this one, yet another air bud movie that is so much like Snow Dogs that its sickening.

The Aviator tells the true story of director and industrialist Howard Hughes or as close to true as it gets in Hollywood. Hughes is played well by Leonardo DiCaprio and other actors turn up at odd times playing someone else important in the man’s life. Kate Beckinsale plays Ava …
The Movie “Tangled” from Disney Studios
I would like to review the film Tangled. I saw this movie in very recently.
First I want to comment on the characters. First comes the girl, a very charming one. Each and every scene of her made me to jump - especially her face expressions. The way she …
Pleasantville movie
‘Pleasantville’ It’s one of those marvellous old movies which are worth watching a couple of times. The idea behind the plot seems almost like a clichee two teenage siblings: calm and inhibited David and his neurotic sister Jennifer, are transferred by the weird godlike figure …
300
First off, let me start off by saying that I am not a huge fan when movies are done with nearly all CGI. I like when it is used properly and peppered into the movie like a Lord of the Rings or Narnia has done in the past. …
Flight of the Phoenix
My wife is a huge Hugh Laurie fan so we ended up watching one of his movies the other day; Flight of the Phoenix. And, overall, I thought the movie was pretty good.
Technically, it stars Dennis Quaid and I’m not normally a fan of his. But, even he did …
Arlington Road movie

Pan’s Labyrinth (Laberinto del Fauno)
I remember first seeing a preview for Pan’s Labyrinth and thinking to myself, “This movie’s gonna be stupid!” and “It’s a rip-off of Chronicles of Narnia!”. After hearing about how great the movie supposedly was, of course I had to see for myself. Now I can say that this …
Movie Stranger than Fiction
Had a chance to watch “Stranger than fiction”, a great movie that has both comedy and drama. The plot is extremely catchy as Will Ferrell, an IRS agent, is living a life narrated by an author played by Emma Thompson. A typical IRS agent, counting his actions in numbers, …
Alex and Emma
Alex and Emma is an average romantic comedy starring Luke Wilson and Kate Hudson in the lead roles. The movie has a nice story but the pace of the movie is a bit slow and it sometimes becomes boring to see some scenes. Alex is an upcoming writer who …

Hours (thriller movie)
“Hours” is set in New Orleans, during the August 2005 hurricane Katrina. Once again, Paul Walker, our capable and very likeable action idol, delights his audience with another one of his absorbing thrillers. This time he personifies a rousing image of paternalistic dedication.
We first meet Nolan Hayes, characterised by …
Radio (2003)
Based on true life events, this movie tells the story of a mentally challenged young man. How he came into this light to be made a movie of is quite interesting and this movie will shine a lot of light into what exactly happed before, during and after the …
My Little Eye
The horror film “My Little Eye” was a film which I thought had a lot of potential to be a very good horror film if it was written better, was filmed better, had better actors and an even better director. Nevertheless, I think the film failed since it was …

X - Men 3 (movie)

The Invention of Lying (Movie)
The Invention of Lying (Movie)
Ricky Gervais is known for his over-the-top humor, but there was nothing funny about this movie. The movie started out with an intriguing idea of a world where everybody is forced to say what is on their mind and tell 100% truths, but then one …
Last Holiday (2006)
Last Holiday, directed by Wayne Wang is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for some sexual reference. The original release date was January 13, 2006 for United States audience. This movie falls in the genre of Adventure/Comedy/Drama and stars Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd, LL Cool …
Movie Enchanted
I usually like movies based on fairy tales and, overall, the film Enchanted wasn’t bad. But, I think the movie used too much of the same-old format to make it good.
Amy Adams was decent as a princess who is sent from a fairy-tale world to New York City. But, …

“Mr. Brooks” is a psychological thriller about a serial killer from MGM. The movie is in English, filmed in color and lasts 120 minutes. The movie carries an R rating for violence, nudity, and graphic sex. The movie is supposed to be set in Portland, Oregon, but was actually …
Twilight movie
I’ll be the first to admit, even as a man, I’m a sucker when it comes to romances. And I can’t say I was ‘dragged’ to the blockbuster hit Twilight, but instead voluntarily agreed to go.
With that in mind, should you see Twilight if you never read the books? …
Rod Zombie’s New Halloween Movie
I have an affinity for scary movies and am especially fond of the Halloween story. Having grown up watching this series, I was intrigued to learn that Rod Zombie had taken over where John Carpenter and Moustafa Akkad had left off. Being a huge fan of “The …

Movie: “The Benchwarmers” (2006)
I was highly disappointed by this movie. It had such potential, starring comic giants Rob Schneider, David Spade, Jon Heder, and Jon Lovitz. But it failed to entertain.
Gus (Schneider), Richie (Spade), and Clark (Heder) are three misfit friends who love baseball. One day, as they’re getting ready to play, …
Wallace and Gromit A Grand Day Out
I noticed that Wallace & Gromit had become a popular claymation phenomenon but I have only just watched them for the first time with this short ‘A Grand Day Out’. Nearly everyone else on the planet has watched this except me I guess. I am no particulara …
The Santa Clause (1994 film)
One Christmas movie that I have really enjoyed ever since I first watched it was the 1994 film The Santa Clause. There was so much magic in this film and gave viewers a first glance look at the North Pole, which is of course every child’s dream, and the …
Notting Hill,1999 movie
Notting Hill tells a rather unlikely yet pleasant love story of Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) a movie star and William Thacker (Hugh Grant), a modest guy who works in a bookstore. I enjoyed this movie. Grand is very likeable as the good-hearted, honest William. Julia Roberts does a good …
Up Close & Personal movie
From 1996, Up Close & Personal was intended to be the story of Jessica Savitch, well known anchor woman who had a difficult and often tragic life. However, the film went through numerous modifications and changes. After all the rewrites, all that remains of Jessica’s story are …

Aliens, Guns & a Monkey is a pretty fun episode of Tripping the Rift. For this episode the crew of the Jupiter 42 set ground on a planet that is completely in love with guns. This of course sets off a lot of talk about the morality …
“To Kill a Mockingbird” (1962)
“To Kill a Mockingbird” is an excellent movie based on the Pulitzer Prizewinning novel by Harper Lee. Screenplay is by Horton Foote. Like all good movies it can be viewed on various levels, but I tend to think of it as a childhood memoir. The movie is told from …
The Fog
I’ve said this before but, when it comes to Horror films, they are either very scary or very dull. Unfortunately for the Fog, it was the latter.
The problem with the Fog is it was just like every other horror film. An evil fog engulfs a small town and ghosts …
Movie Love Wrecked
I honestly love watching Amanda Bynes movies, however “Love Wrecked” must be her worst movie since the story is not credible at all.
In “Love Wrecked” we see Amanda Bynes interpret the role of Jenny Riley who is totally crazy about a famous and popular rock star, Jason Master. …
Movie “The Spell” (1977)
I love the 1970’s for it’s hilarious horror movies. I doubt I could ever find and watch them all. Hulu and Netflix have been great resources for me for hilarious horror movies from the ’70’s. What they considered horror is not at all what we think …
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 …

Borderline Cult (R, 2007) movie
If at all possible, never, ever, ever, ever rent this movie. I went online at Netflix, thinking that this was going to be an innovative horror film. I was so disappointed. The beginning is rather stark. There are three serial killers who work …
After Dark Horror Fest: Crazy Eights
Crazy Eights is this weird little movie that I’m still not too sure about. I bought it because I had seen almost every other movie in the 2007 After Dark Horror Series except for this one. Looking at the back of the box and seeing the actors in the …
40 Year Old Virgin DVD
I actually went to the premiere of this movie in my town. I knew nothing about the movie before I went, but had won free tickets, so decided to give it a try. This movie is absolutly hilarious. Its about a man who is fourty, but still a virgin. …
Videodrome movie
Cronenberg’s cult rated film features James Woods as a man being consumed by media, psychologically and physically, in perhaps the most bizarre way ever seen. It begins as what seems like a very serious and slowly paced film, but ends up as a plain horror film with loads of …
