John Carpenter’s “The Thing” (the 1982 film)
Initially, I imagined John Carpenter’s 1982 classic “The Thing” to be an ordinary, old and spooky film. Yet, I found it intriguingly scary. I didn’t quite reach the thrill I had wanted but it was still a significant masterpiece.
I also enjoyed the characters and the setting. Both were respectable …

Alien 1979 Movie

People had been clamoring for a “Deadpool” movie starring Ryan Reynolds for years. We came close with “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”.

Under the Skin (2013 movie)

Clambake movie
From 1967, the movie musical Clambake stars the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. It’s not an award winner by any means, but it is a fun movie, albeit predictable. It’s just not a stretch of any of the performers’ acting talents. By this point, …

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Movie (2014)
