Dream Girls
Maybe it’s because I’m watching it on cable before 8 in the morning, but the movie Dream Girls just isn’t as good as I expected it to be.

Now this has got to be, in my opinion, the best movie for 2008. Eagle Eye was a very very unique and interesting movie, starring the ever so hott Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, and the beautiful Rosario Dawson.

NOMADLAND, the movie (2020)
The film by Chloe Zhao, who acted as writer, director, producer, and editor, really surprised me. It is an adaptation of Jessica Bruder’s novel of the same name, but it is shot in a documentary style. NOMADLAND was a breath of fresh air for me in the world of glamour, …

Gravity (2013 Space Thriller Film)

The Wackiest Ship in the Army
From 1960, The Wackiest Ship in the Army is absolutely terrific to watch. It’s a movie I’ve seen more times than I can count and it’s one I always enjoy. It’s lighthearted drama that deals with Navy action in World War II. Right off the bat, …
I Stand Alone
What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …

The Devil & Daniel Webster Movie
You won’t see Hollywood make this type of a movie today, oh no. It’s got “religion” in it, you see, the characters go to church and read their Bible, and all that is taken seriously, no one makes fun of them for it. God-fearing people are actually presented as …
