Shrek Forever After in 3D Movie
My brother gave me passes for the premiere of Shrek Forever After, the final chapter in the ogre-starring computer-animated movie franchise. We managed to see the 3D version.
One thing I can say about the movie is that it is definitely better than Shrek 3. There are more funny moments …
Goodfellas

I Know Who Killed Me Movie

While the movie did stick to the family-oriented entertainment …
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ movie

Amusement, horror film by John Simpson
Direct to video horror movies tend to get crap now-a-days. There is a good reason for that. The film either follows the same foot steps as every other PG-13 rated horror film or it copies off of an original way too much. Amusement falls in both of these categories …
