Dead Like Me: Send in the Clown

Vantage Point
I’m a big fan of political thrillers; as long as they are fast paced and make you think while entertaining you.
The movie Vantage Point has some of the makings of a great movie but takes things a bit too far in terms of trying to do too much.
The plot …

Chain Letter Movie
When was the last time you received a chain letter either by email or text, and actually followed the directions and passed it on to someone. In my case never because I never believed in the hype of what chain letters can or cannot do. In the movie Chain …
Transformers 2
Transformers 2 is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. The movie matches the intensity of the first Transformers movie but brings the action up a notch. Here is my opinion on the movie.

Red Eye
We recently purchased a copy of Red Eye for 99 cents at the local video store. So, I didn’t think it was going to be that good.

The main …

FUR
I think Nicole Kidman is the most sensual actress working today. This isn’t just because of her great looks, but because of the way she exudes her emotions. So when I had the opportunity to watch “Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus” with Kidman playing the famed photographer, …
Con Air (1997)

Batman
Several years ago, before Christian Bale took over the title role in a re-invention of the franchise, Michael Keaton wore a cape and became Batman. And, even today, this movie (unlike the sequels after it) remains one of my favorite super hero films.

127 Hours: Movie

Coraline, the animation movie, is pretty scary. I don’t know if most kids would love to watch this. However, I find this to be like a dark animation or some sort and don’t mind watching.
