Groundhog Day
Review By John C.
What if you could relive the same day over again? That’s the premise used to perfection in Harold Ramis’ classic comedy Groundhog Day. Except for weatherman Phil Connors, (Bill Murray), he is forced to relive his least favorite day of the year, Groundhog Day, again and again. The film is intriguing and intelligent and deserves to be watched at least once a year on the 2nd day of the 2nd month.
Groundhog Day is hands-down the best movie ever made about February 2nd and a movie that I am more than happy to get to repeat again and again and again and...
This will also be starting a series profiling Christmas and Holiday movies both new and old. These films will not be rated out of stars.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Review By John C.
Even though I am not American, every year for American Thanksgiving, I make it a point to watch John Hughes’ classic comedy Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Although it is hilarious, it is also surprisingly sad and moving. Partly because of the back story of shower curtain ring salesmen Del Griffith, and partly because of John Candy. It is already an excellent performance, but the fact that he died at too young an age, makes it even more heartfelt and poignant. This is a holiday movie with true heart, and true laughs. This is a great movie and a true holiday classic, if you haven’t already seen it, go out and watch it. It is really worth buying, because if you watch it once, you will want to make it a yearly tradition. Go relax and enjoy.
Today is Remembrance Day in Canada, (Veterans Day in USA). This is a reminder for us all to remember the brave men and women who served our countries in war time conflicts. This day of this year, November 11th, 2008, marks the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War.

In honor of Halloween, here is James P.'s review of the classic comedy Ghostbusters. It is not rated out of stars, because we all know it's a great movie!

Rated PG
Ivan Reitman (dir.)
Bill Murray as Dr. Peter Venkman

Ghostbusters
Review By John C.
On Halloween night, you could watch one of the many classic horror movies that have become part of the October syndication, or you could watch the classic supernatural comedy Ghostbusters. It’s got some cool special-effects, including a giant Stay Puft marshmallow man and a ghost named Slimer, and an intelligent story that actually makes you laugh (you can’t say that about a lot of comedies these days, can you?). It’s also got a lot of Canadian content, which is just more proof that some of the best comedy comes from Canada. There is almost no point of going into the story of three unemployed professors who go into the ghost removal service, or about the haunting of the apartment owned by Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver), by a creature named Zuul. If you get the collectors edition gift set of the DVD, you not only get the original classic, but also the sequel which is cleverly named Ghostbusters 2, also included with the two classics is a cool little scrapbook that has some insight into the making of the first film. Definitely worth having for any comedy fan, and also, you wouldn’t want to not know what to say if someone said to you “Who you gonna call?” Ghostbusters!

‘One Movie, Five Views’, is an innovative new website with a different way of reviewing movies...
Each movie will be reviewed by a team of five reviewers. This way after leaving the theatre the group of reviewers will discuss the film, in the same way that any other filmgoers would. Each reviewer will then write their own review, and from the five reviews an overall consensus of the movie will be made. [Please note, that DVD reviews, Soundtrack reviews, and special features may not necessarily follow the same format.] We will also post other movie and entertainment related news periodically. All movies will be reviewed out of four stars.
