Sunshine

Where did this movie come from? I never heard of it or saw it advertised, but I now have this in my 'must buy' dvd list. Man, Boyle hit a grand slam with this film. And he pulled off all those awe-inspiring special effects on such a tiny... More

Let's Go to Prison

I was in the mood for stupid comedy the other night, so I chose this movie, and wasn't disappointed. The movie was good fun...for what it was. If you watch this knowing it is going to be utterly ridiculous, you can really enjoy it, from s... More

Live Free or Die Hard

Live Free or Die Hard (what a stupid title) is a popcorn roller coaster ride - fun while you're there but forgettable soon afterwards. The action is soooo over the top that you might find your eyes permanently rolled at the back of your ... More

John McClane (Bruce Willis) is back. He must find hacker Matthew Farrell (Justin Long) to track down Thomas Gabriel and his Internet terrorist network before Gabriel's team shuts down the USA completely. So many flaws in the script, I do... More

Ghost Rider

I had been told not to bother watching this movie, but since I had it on hand, I decided to give it a try....and found myself wishing I hadn't. It is not a good film, not well acted, not well written, and the special effects, for the most ... More

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Reviewed by Prelude
Many thought this movie should be filed under 'never should have been remade' because the original was such a classic. During filming, even the producers and Depp were nervous about how it would be received, because it was quite an expensi... More

Notes on a Scandal
Reviewed by Prelude
I've been delaying seeing this film, mostly I think because seeing a wife cheat on a family with a 15 year old boy, and then get blackmailed by a crazy old witch didnt seem like a fun night at the movies, a bit too MUCH drama if you know wh... More

Thankful

Let's put it straight out from the start, I hate bad female pop. The ones where they have a slow beat going in the back and the lead has moans and sighs combined with slow singing. "Uhhhhhh..." Most of the songs were like that, and so I ... More

The Warrior
Reviewed by Manling
Forget The Warrior, It should have been called The Walker. Why? Because that's what most of the movies was about, a dude walking around. Man! He probably lost a lot of weight with all the walking he did. Rated R for 'some violence' but ... More

Surf's Up
Reviewed by Prelude
This movie just blew me away. I was expecting a Happy Feet rip-off or yet another over-done over-used CGI mess, but I must say this is my new favorite CGI film, even better than Shrek 1 & 2 (3 was a joke) and all those Pixar flicks. Everyo... More

This was a movie we couldn't finish. The secondary characters were so two dimensional and unbelievable that we were only able to get a half hour into this movie. Diane Keaton in particular, and the students from the Polytech were so predi... More

This band is like the brother band to Nightwish, with great lead vocals, metal sounds and fantasy-like lyrics. It's the first album by them, and promises of other good stuff to come. 5 Slick Tracks: Somewhere In Dreams The Sound Of The... More

Groundhog Day
Reviewed by nataliegoes
Groundhog Day still stands up well after all these years. And is very re-watchable. The set-up to the premise (i.e. the very first time he lives the day) goes by in good pace. And the repeats of the days can be as short as 30 seconds, or... More
