The 2003 Vampire Movie Alucard

Stranger than Fiction
When we rented the movie Stranger than Fiction, we expected to get a great comedy. After all, you can’t go wrong with Will Ferrell. Unfortunately, in this case, we did.

Film “The Other Guys” (2010)

Dazed and confused movie
This is one in the long row of films depicting the teenage high school life, this time when the teenagers are graduating. The characters here are very cliche-like as you might have expected. There’s the tough guy, the beauty queen, the nerd, the good-looking guy who wants to be …

Sweet Home Alabama
Oh I love this movie ! The chemistry between the characters is apparent during the film and I love the story line and plot; the characters are round and not two dimensional, in other words there is a lot to uncover about the characters as the story moves on. …
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf movie
Columbo: Columbo Cries Wolf is one of the outings that I always remember, probably because it featured two soap opera stars in the leads. It’s not that I’m a fan of either of them, as I’m not, but it’s just something I remember. The two actors are …

Something the Lord Made movie 2004

The film was made back in 2004, but I had not heard of it before. Apparently it is a made for TV …
The Shining (1980) movie
I find The Shining to be a completely stunning film, partly down to the transfixing performance of Jack Nicholson and partly down to the direction of Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name but Kubrick has given the story an ambiguity that …

Zombieland Movie
It’s a short and simple story chronicling the lives of four survivors in a zombie infested America. Quite a shallow plot, but extremely funny. Its comedic factor is refreshing because it isn’t lewd or too slapstick.

Godzilla 1985
Godzilla 1985 is really a poor movie compared to the Japanese release, which is titled Godzilla 1984. They are both the same movie, it’s just the American release came a year after, hence the 1985. I dislike how the American release was handled because the distributor removed or shortened …
