Show Boat musical

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010 Film)
The 2010 film “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was one in which I was leery about. Recently Nicholas Cage’s films have been sort of a letdown, but not this one. His co-star Jay Baruchel has a quirky sort of scholarly charm that makes him the perfect hero of our film. We …

Alien (1979)

“Tearjerker.” That’s how many people describe the movie adaptation of the popular novel by Nicholas Sparks, featuring pop princess Mandy Moore and TV cutie Shane West.

It Runs in the Family (2003)
The movie is starring Kirk and Michael Douglas, as well as Cameron Douglas. This movie was more of a family reunion for the actors themselves, rather than entertainment or movie of great value. Despite all the publicity and the positive exposure, in my experience, it is one hard-to-watch …
Strigoi, movie (2009)
