Johnny Guitar movie
This anti-western by inventive Hollywood filmmaker Nicholas Ray, tells the story of a western hero called Johnny “Guitar” Logan, who much rather plays music instead of shooting down people with guns.

The Love Guru

Birdemic Shock and Terror, Blu-ray Romantic Horror film
Birdemic: Shock and Terror had to have been made for cult status purposes. I mean come on why would anyone made a movie with birds that spit acid and shoot lasers—¦or I think they are lasers. The movie has crappy violence, early 90s PC game dialogue, and children who …
Black or White (drama movie)
For me the actor Kevin Costner’s name has become synonymous with watching certain kinds of films. Thus I consider him one of the more “serious” popular actors. Therefore, I found it interesting an refreshing to see that he was doing something a little different when I saw the trailer for …

Nim’s Island movie
So, yeah. This movie happened. Don’t. Watch. It. Please. The story is so atrociously terrible and the acting is subpar (other than Jodie Foster, of course.). Please.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Kate Hudson tries to tell us in this movie on “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. I am sure that even if she would like to get rid ofMatthew McConaughley, there are a lot of women who won’t mind have him around!

The Evil Dead (1981)
Starring: Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker, Hal Delrich, and Theresa Tilly.

Hollywood Ending, the movie (2002)
Can a suddenly blind director make a movie? This problem is the basis of the plot of Woody Allen’s film. It offers many attacks on Hollywood and its stampeded products. However, it was interesting to observe the creator who finds himself in a critical situation. How will he behave? How …
Sgt. Bilko
When Steve Martin re-did the Pink Panther movie, I thought his performance was actually better than the original. But, that wasn’t the only movie I can say that about.
