Forbidden Zone, movie (1982)
We each have our favorite cult classic. But, there is one for me that stands as the best one. Nothing for me can match its style or zaniness, be it Buckaroo Banzai or Toxic Avenger. The blending of 80’s new wave with the vintage styles of …

Johnny English
Starring: Rowan Atkinson (Johnny English), Ben Miller (Bough) John Malkovich (Pascal Sauvage ), Lorna Campbell (Natalie Imbruglia)
I think the name of Rowan Atkinson itself attracted me to this movie. Having known him as that disgusting yet endearing Mr Bean and his absurd antics, he did not disappoint at …
Where It’s At movie
Where It’s At is another movie from the sixties about the generation gap, in an odd sort of way. In truth, I don’t like this movie. It’s just a little too off-beat for me. I didn’t like the characters, I don’t like their evolution, and there’s not …

Bedazzled

If I’m correct, the movie was during the year 2000 and I did not manage to watch it at the cinema. Instead, I caught it on TV and it was surprisingly …
