Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Yep, it’s another teen movie. But it’s not just another one of those typical ones.

Bachelor Party (1984)
Tom Hanks is better known today for his sensitive, serious portrayals and his knack for comedy seems to have got lost with time. When ‘Bachelor Party’ came out in 1984 I am pretty sure that Hanks was unknown. I had certainly not heard of him when I …
Jacobs Ladder
Jacobs Ladder is a strange movie, to say the least. I have watched Jacobs Ladder several times and still don’t know for sure if Jacob, the main character, is just a psychotic man with mental problems or if what he experiences actually happened. That is the appeal of this …
The Babadook Movie
I’m always up for a good, creepy movie and I had heard good things about ‘The Babadook’. There were some detractors, but honestly, that almost made me more curious to check the movie out.

Movie: Precious

School Ties
It is very difficult to find four great and known actors in one movie; however “School Ties” managed to do this by putting together at that time emerging actors such as Brendan Fraser, Chris O’Donnell, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
What I really liked about School Ties is the fact …
