Made of Honor
Another new released movie, Made of Honor is one of the best movies that I’ve watched. I’m not bluffing alright. I could see the same lines of this movie in a novel and I would still enjoy reading it the same.
It stars my hunky favorite actor, whom …

Split Second movie
Science Fiction comedy about a man played by Rutger Hauer who goes to look for a hideous monster in London and kill it.

Batman The Dark Knight 2008 Movie
Nowadays, saying the name Batman actually brings up enjoyable memories. Memories of the older movies that I enjoyed and the newer movies that reinvented it. Forgetting about the failures in-between. The Dark Knight was released in 2008 and featured Batman’s worst enemy. The Joker himself. But with all the …
Maleficent (2014 Film)

The Dark Knight
After hearing how good it was, I finally got around to watching the 2nd Batman movie, “The Dark Knight”. I thought it was well done. It definitely wasn’t just “thrown together” and had plenty of twists and turns to keep me entertained. I think that Christian …
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs was better than the first two movies, in my opinion. Granted, I haven’t seen the other two in a while now, so my opinion could change if I watched the first two movies again. I watched Ice Age 3 in 3D, but …

Rachel Getting Married (2008 film)
The 2008 movie “Rachel Getting Married” might have had a great cast who fell into the roles of their characters phenomenally, and maybe they have done that too well. Because Anne Hathaway who plays Rachel’s sister, Kim, in the movie, really got on my nerves and I think that …
How I Live Now (2013 Drama Movie)
