Dead Silence (R, 2007) movie
“Dead Silence” looks like it’s going to be corny and slow-moving. In some parts it certainly is. The plot revolves around the old legend of Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who had her tongue cut out by townspeople. Of course her ghost comes back and takes revenge. …
Babel - Movie
I went to see Babel not knowing anything about it more than it took place in Morocco and it was “kind of like the movie Crash”. Pretty quickly you can see how the movie is like “Crash” in that there are 4 storylines, seemingly unrelated, that you know somehow …

Hostel Part II
Hostel Part II is damn unsettling. I was so scared out of my mind watching this, and I have a great reason for it. If those of you who have watched Hostel Part I before felt that the movie experimented with a clubhouse type of hostel sponsored …

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)
This movie has got to be one of the most distracting, annoying, over developed, load of crap that I have ever had the torture of watching in my entire life. From the opening scene, even though things started off pretty and grand, it made a very hasty effort to …
Alligator (1980)
I have yet to see a ‘killer croc’ film that I could imagine myself watching again. Why are there so many b-movies that involve galled gators munching on mortified men and women? The market is saturated. I had forgotten that there is one flick worth watching …
Movie, The Imitation Game
I stumbled upon reading in advance about our Philosophy subject and I read something about the Turing Test. That made me think of the movie I just watched. Alan Turing is the main character of the movie The Imitation Game and he is also the same Turing in the Turing …

Live Flesh movie
Pedro Almodovar has been called the greatest spanish director since Luis Buñuel. In my opinion that title would go to Julio Medem, but I still think Almodovar is great and especially this enigmatic film about strange people. As always in the films of Almodovar, he is not afraid to …
The Fault in Our Stars (teen romance movie)
I’ve been a fan of the young actress Shailene Woodley ever since I saw her performance in Divergent. It was clear to me that she had matured as an actress and taken on more mature roles. Therefore, even though I’m certainly no fan of romance movies, I was definitely curious …
Netflix
Recently, I evaluated the Netflix rental service. It’s very much like that of Blockbuster’s, where you select the DVDs you’d like to rent, they send them to you, you return them, and then the next one is sent. Unfortunately, the Netflix trial isn’t as long as Blockbuster’s …
Ladyhawke (1985 Film)
The 1985 film “Ladyhawke” was not only a strong dose of fantasy that touches everyone’s inner child and magical yearning for something powerful that can’t possibly be real, as well as beautiful love story that was heartwarming to watch. Mathew Broderick, a very young Mathew Broderick, as well as …

The Gambler- 2015, Drama, Thriller Movie
This movie is the remake of the movie “The Gambler” released in 1974 featuring James Caan. I watched this film only because of Mark Wahlberg, but I have to say that it was his one of the worst movie ever. It looks great on the paper because of its brilliant …
The Secret movie
I came across a movie on Netflix called “The Secret” and it sounded like a really good thriller. The fact it starred David Duchovny also won me over because I’ve always felt he was an underrated actor.
However, while the movie turned out to be halfway decent, I also found …

30 Days of Night
This is a good movie if you like horror movies and you don’t mind gory things. If you are a person that doesn’t like gory or cannot take it I don’t recommend it. It kept me interested, the acting was good, I wasn’t really bored at all. There were …

I had never seen the movie D.C. Cab until last night, when I was bored and had a chance to watch it on Netflix Instant watch.

The Shawshank Redemption

To make something of this nature, a chief must come up to it in a most detailed manner, because of the flimsiness of the process.

Grease
I have seen the movie Grease probably about 50 times since I was a kid. And, even though I have seen it that many times, I can’t help but take the time to watch at least part of it whenever I come across it on television.
I’m not sure what …
Green Room (2016 horror film)
After watching The Witch last month, my anticipation in watching horror films grew more and more, not because I thought The Witch was a good film but because I realized, not all horrors are scary anyway. The Witch was very lackluster in providing the thrills, “relying on just the visuals …

The Garden (NR, 2006) movie
I was a little apprehensive about this film. It looks low-budget from the Netflix description. And none of the other reviews gave it a riveting description. But I must admit that I liked the premise. And as the story went along, I was …
Alien 3
Perhaps the entry into the franchise that divides opinion more than most; Alien 3 legacy is as evolving as the planning stages that originally promised such an elaborate and original tale.
