The Amityville Horror (1979)

Hart to Hart: Harts in High Season (1996)

91 mins     Crime, Mystery, TV Movie      

The previous "Hart to Hart" movie "Hart to Hart: Two Harts in 3/4 Time" understandably didn't feel right as it was the first movie following the death of Lionel Stander. In truth I was surprised that they carried on the serie...

Quite often when you read the blurb on the back of a DVD case, what sounds like an intriguing plot featuring a star studded cast and an exceptionally talented director is going to end up being disappointing. Such is the case ...

The Master of Disguise (2002)

80 mins     Comedy, Family      

There is a scene early on in "The Master of Disguise" where Pistachio puts on a silly voice for a kid in the street, it's an in joke when he supposedly mimics old friend Mike Myers' Shrek and Eddie Murphy's Donkey but it fall...

A Guy Thing (2003)

Wedding Wars (2006)

87 mins     Comedy, Drama, TV Movie      

"Wedding Wars" is a bit of light weight fun, a comedy about a gay wedding planner going out on strike in outrage over a Governor's opposition to gay marriage. In being so we have some stereotypes, some stereotypical humour fr...

Last Chance Harvey (2008)

93 mins     Drama, Romance      

"Last Chance Harvey" is the sort of movie I like because in a way it shows an old dog can learn new tricks. You are probably thinking I've gone barking mad with that comment but what I mean is that the central premise to "Las...

Christmas with Tucker (2013)

90 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

Hallmark, yes "Christmas with Tucker" is a Hallmark movie and a Christmas one at that which means this is a movie which is heavy in sentiment. But before I get to that what we have is a very simple and familiar coming of age ...
