Broken Bridges movie
“Broken Bridges” has a good story with great potential in attracting a great audience, however something along the line failed. The acting is awful, the filming and editing is sadly not good enough and the sound of this movie is terrible! In other words, this movie sucks!

“Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998 film)
Obviously, it’s difficult to discuss any film adaptation without analyzing how well it sticks to the source material, and “Fear and Loathing” is one of those rare cases where the movie remains almost unbelievably parallel to the book, with entire passages of narration and dialogue used verbatim from the …
A Walk to Remember movie

Hotels for Dogs Movie
I think this is a really cute wholesome movie; it features a lot of dogs and if you’re a dog lover (or an animal lover) you should watch this, other than that, if you’re not and you can’t appreciate loving pets, then don’t watch. This movie features Emma Roberts …

Fright Night
It’s sometimes amazing how you can watch a movie when you�re younger and think it�s scary but, when you watch the same movie several years later, you aren’t frightened at all.
