Scary Movie (2000)
This movie, umm, let me rephrase that, this comedy is a spoof of some of the movies that were released the months before this movie was released. It dares to poke fun at almost every movie no matter the content, if it’s a serious movie or not, nothing movie …
Antichrist (2009) movie

Movie Taken
Taken (2009) is, without a doubt, the best action movie I’ve seen in years. Everything about the movie shines, from its pitch-perfect acting, to its well-written story and dialogue, to it’s incredible non-stop action sequences.
Liam Neeson shows that he can still carry a movie despite being in his late-fifties. …
Jeepers Creepers
I think Jeepers Creepers sucked. This movie was so cheesy and horrible. I mean I was laughing the whole time. The whole concept of the story was not even scary. I mean the idea for the monster comes from an old song. The song goes “jeeepers creepers where’d you get …
Teeth (UR, 2007) movie
I was a little taken aback by this subject matter, and perhaps you might be too, if you venture to watch this obscure horror film. Vagina Dentata is the latin term for a dreadful condition in which a woman’s vagina is lined with teeth - yes, real …
Movie: “Europa Europa” (1990)
“Europa Europa” from Central Cinema Company is a 1990 movie in German, Russian, Polish, and Hebrew. It was filmed in color on locations in Poland and lasts 112 minutes. I turned on the English subtitles and was able to fool myself that I understood the German portions.

Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist movie

Pterodactyl (2005) movie

A Christmas Story (movie)
What strikes me as the main appeal of a Christmas story isn’t that it is a Christmas movie. It’s a story of youth, family and friends, with extra helpings of nostalgia (try eating that, Randy!).
The 40’s is captured brilliantly-the products surround the parkers, Higbee’s department store, the time of …
Blood Diamond
Gripping. Riveting. Awakening. This movie grabs you from the start and takes you on a ride through the African country-side, seeing a world torn apart by violence, greed, and pain. You will inevitably swear never to buy a “blood diamond” again, knowing what it costs their world.
Leonardo DiCaprio, though …

Pan’s Labyrinth

The fairy tale line is about …
Children of men
I didn’t really care for this movie. Half of the movie was kind of interesting and the other half was boring. I especially didn’t like the ending of it. I think that it could have been made a lot better, the acting could have been better, and the ending …

Haunted Echoes movie 2008

The Duff (2015 comedy movie)

Phat Girlz
I’m not a big “Chick Flik” guy but when I read the description of Phat Girlz and how it’s about a woman who tries to create a clothing line for bigger women, I was a bit intrigued. Too bad the movie is nothing like it’s description.
The problem with Phat …

The Man Who Predicted 9-11 movie
The movie is kind of slow in the beginning, but that is no reason not to follow through and watch the rest of it. The reasons behind the stories about the main character’s life and background did not become clear until later on in the movie. I found these …
