Sweeney Todd
My wife dragged me to see this one. I didn’t know what to expect other than few of my favourite actors namely Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen and Alan Rickman. Also it is directed by Tim Burton and I quite like the collaboration between Tim Burton …

Pan’s Labyrinth movie
My wife insisted on watching the movie Pan’s Labyrinth so I reluctantly sat down to watch it with her; even though I was certain it would be a movie I was not interested in.
It turned out to be better than expected however.
The movie takes place in Spain sometime after …
National Lampoon’s European Vacation movie
I have seen all of the National Lampoon Vacation movies. Christmas vacation is easily the worst of the four but I think European Vacation is one of those movies that isn’t as good as the first “Family Vacation” or the last, “Vegas Vacation.”
That’s not to say it is a …
The Duchess
This is one historical movie that I found very fascinating even though it was a drama. It stars Kierra Knightly (Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean) and she does an expert job of playing the lead role of the Duchess. To make matters even more interesting, the story …

Movie Alex and Emma
“Alex & Emma” is simply a great romantic movie with comic moments in it. I personally liked a lot the actress, Kate Hudson because she interprets 5 different roles in it. I personally had a great laugh when she interpreted the role of maid and a child minder in …
The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I really enjoyed the first 2 Mummy movies, but this one was by far a huge dissappointment. I can’t believe I paid $9 to waste my time. It was poorly connected, the plot just kind of crashed together, and wierd things happened out of nowhere that had no historical …
Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
It was an exhausting movie, with action everywhere, and debris flying all over the place. I am not a big transformers fan (probably because I am a girl), although I appreciated the effects of this Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. I grew up watching my brothers fight over …
The Lair Of The White Worm movie
The Lair Of The White Worm is a silly little fantasy, science fiction, horror type film. The Lair Of The White Worm is probably a cult classic, although I don’t think that many people know of this movie. This movie is about people who find a skull that seems …
The Fourth Kind Motion Picture
This is a very interesting movie. I thought it would be like other movies that are based on true stories where it is all acted out and would maybe have some interviews with real people involved with the story in the special features, but that is not …

‘The best bet’ is a movie, which is directed by Jack Neo. The actors are Richard, Mark, Christopher etc.. This is a Singaporean film. The three main characters in the film are Tan Chun Huang, Lee and Richard. Now, Huang is a gambler. He is addicted to gambling. He …

Tropic Thunder movie
I sat down to watch Tropic Thunder last night with my wife with a high expectation. this was mainly due to the cast, the sheer number of big names in the movie guarenteed a high audience. Everyones favourite comedians were there and i wasnt disapointed.
It didnt give me the …

Thr3e
This movie was definitely one of those that I will have to watch twice to figure out where they got one over on me. I enjoyed the movie and was really happy to see Marc Blucas, the former Riley on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the ending was …
Va Savoir
Va Savoir is a foreign film that I have watched before since one of my friend works at the cinema. 2 of them actually, one female and one male, and either one always gets me to watch amazing movies that are sometimes not released as yet which is great.
Therefore, …
Race to Witch Mountain (Staring Dwayne Johnson)
Today I walk to the theater with my girl. Our purpose was to watch the new coming movie, Race to Witch Mountain. Before we went off, we knew what these film about after seeing the thriller on YouTube. It said that this movie is about alien and humankind. And …
Iron Man 2 (2010)
Iron Man blew the box office away in 2008. Now, two years later, Iron Man 2 has done it again with Robert Downey Jr.’s extravagant performance as Tony Stark aka Iron Man.
One of the thing I enjoyed most about the first Iron Man, was its ability to maintain …
Arrival (2016 Sci-fi Drama Film)
The way this film is marketed is truly off-putting, who else wants to watch another alien-invasion movie? I find it truly distracting that “language” is one of the main themes here but the distributor actually did not know how to communicate/market this film to the general audience. Granted, science fiction …
Basic Instinct 2
This movie was so unbelievably bad that I am ashamed to say that I own it in my movie collection. I purchased this disgusting excuse for filmmaking in a second-hand DVD sale. The movie has been sitting in my Netflix queue pretty much since it came out …
Happy feet movie
I first watched this movie was on dvd with my little cousins. It was quite interesting with the nice dancing and singing. The storyline was pretty good. One thing I didn’t really understand was how Mumble, the main penguin went back his own specific colony of penguins, but I …
Peter Pan movie
The classic fairytale by Barry in a new version. The most famous films on the story would be Disney’s classic animation and Spielberg’s Hook. This new version follows the same path as those two films and doesn’t really break any new ground, not even visually. For those of us …
Valley of the Wolves, Iraq
This Valley of the Wolves, Iraq is a movie of a different perspective. It is a foreign film, and has artistic elements to it. My friend brought me to watch this, and it lasts for about 2 hours and 2 minutes.
This movie is not about taking sides, …
Captivity movie
Ewww to this DVD movie, Captivity. I really find it disgusting, and there’s a term that needs to be thrashed really; torture-porn or something. It is about this psycho kidnapping this particular model, Jennifer, played by Elisha Cuthbert. She is gorgeous and blonde at that, and …
Thirteen Ghosts (movie)
I don’t know about you all but I enjoy the series called Mr Monk on cable. Before Mr Monk came on the TV, the star of the show was in a movie called Thirteen Ghosts.
Although this movie would never win an academy award, it was interesting …
Rocky movie
What is the big deal about the movie Rocky? I don’t understand why anyone would want to watch people beat each other up. And, if you haven’t noticed, the acting is not great. So what is the point? I think Sylvester Stallone was pretty hot when he was younger …
The House of the Devil movie 2009
I rented The House of the Devil through Netflix. I chose it because I read reviews stating that the retro-80’s style of filming was extremely accurate. I am an 80’s kid so I loved that idea—“ and they were right. Everything from the clothing and hairstyles down …

Ranma 1/2
Ranma ½ is one of the old Japanese anime, which I like. Ranma ½ anime, which is based on the manga version. From version of manga and to anime version I love this story is. Ranma ½ recounts a story of the Kungfu master accidentally fell into a pond …
Fred Claus the movie
We just finished watching Fred Claus. The storyline did go a lot different than I thought it would. It was entertaining and I would say, worth renting or buying the dvd. I don’t think, that if given the choice, I would go pay to see it in the theater. …

Blindness (drama movie)
I read a lot of bad reviews on the movie Blindness and I can completely understand why a lot of people weren’t satisfied with the movie. For one the movie is terribly hard to watch for multiple reasons and secondly, it doesn’t exactly have a very satisfying ending.
Blindness is one …

I Love You Phillip Morris (2010) Movie
I do not have issues watching movies about gay people. This is one of those movies that I wanted to see because it stars Jim Carrey and Ewan Macgregor. I Love You Phillip Morris is about a gay man who wanted to lead a normal life with a normal …
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
The original Planet of the Apes was a unique movie that was both entertaining and made you think. The sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, was still entertaining but definitely not as good as the original movie was.
I thought the whole story line about a race of mutant …
The Bag Man (2014)
The Bag Man is a film which I did enjoy watching despite its technical flaws. What kept me glued to it was the fact that the contents of the bag weren’t revealed until much later. At first, when my friend recommended me to watch The Bag Man I had …
THE ISLAND MOVIE DVD
I hope I am not the only person who was totally NOT impressed with this movie. I found THE ISLAND to be entirely predictable after about 30 minutes. I try so hard not to figure out the endings of movies, or what is REALLY going on, because, when they …
Stockholm, Pennsylvania (2015 drama movie)
“Stockholm, Pennsylvania” isn’t a very popular film, and so it’s understandable even if you’re a movie lover like me and have never heard of it. I consider myself lucky because I was able to catch it when it aired recently on HBO or Cinemax.
Despite some of the negative critical reception …
To Kill a Mockingbird
I am reviewing the movie, To Kill a Mockingbird, which was made back in the 1960s. It starred Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, Mary Badham as Scout, and Phillip Alford as Jem. This movie remains to be my mother’s favorite and my favorite movie ever. There is just something …

The Duke Is Tops movie
From 1938, The Duke Is Tops is a film that features an all black cast, and what I like about it is that race isn’t really a part of this picture. This movie could have had any cast. These performers talked normally, performed normally, and just acted …
High School Musical
When I first heard of Disney’s High School Musical franchise, my first thought was “Not another cheesy teen flick!”, and I was sure I wouldn’t like it.
One evening, I was flicking through channels, to find something decent to watch, when I came across High School Musical 1 playing on …
One Missed Call movie
One missed call is a great movie. It has great actors in it, a good storyline and kept me interested throughout the movie. The ending could have been a little bit better but it was still a good ending. It started off really good, once I started watching it …
Hot Fuzz
This movie was fantastic, it had me chuckling the whole way through. From the same team that gave us Shaun of the Dead, this takes the life of Police Officer Nicholas Angel and delights with a send up of American police movies and the British country whodunits. …
The Crow movie
The Dark Gothic film that claimed the life of Brandon Lee. One of my favorite movies of all time, as not everyday you see a corpse rising from the grave to right to wrongs done to him. Not a zombie type role either…but undead and kicking butt from corner …
