The Quiet (R, 2005)

Battlefield Earth movie
A film that is supposed to be based on a classic science fiction novel by L. Ron Hubbard, however the story is changed that much it’s fair to question the filmmaker’s intentions. John Travolta appears in his perhaps not proudest moment ever, as the leader of an alien species …
30 Days of Night Movie

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (PG13, 2009)
