The cult declared film from the early 1930s by Tod Browning was before its time with the story it tells. A circus companionship with “freaks” travels around together.

On the whole, I liked this film. It is kind, heartfelt, sincere, and even touching in some places. But the plot is not devoid of sins, clichés, and too simple script decisions. I know that the movie is based on a novel by Jack London. Let me tell you right …

Easy-A is a teen-comedy that I found mildly interesting to watch, and only because it was aimed at my particular age group.
It’s very easy-to-watch and has a lot of teenage humour that can keep the interest, but of course without the topic of sex this wouldn’t really be worth …

Rob Marshall turned a New York Times’ Bestseller into a Hollywood box office hit. I have to admit though, it’s not a film I would want to watch over and over again. It’s brilliant. Emotional. Deep. That said, it’s kind of depressing despite the ending. The entire film has …

I can’t think of general Douglas MacArthur without thinking of Gregory Peck and the 1977 film MacArthur is the reason.
Peck plays the legendary World War II and Korea leader in this entertaining, yet somewhat biased film. And, overall, he does a pretty good job at it.
I liked this movie …

Don’t be fooled by the title of this movie, because the 1999 film “Arabian Nights” holds much more interest and high stakes adventure with a twist of romance and suspense at survival of one’s life, than it appears.

I watched this movie over at my parents house a few months ago and quite honestly I was not overly impressed. The movie was both written and directed by Sean Penn and released in 1991 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
