Snakes on a Plane (movie)
I love creature movies, those scary movies where some giant animal or a bunch of tiny ones run rampant and gobble up a bunch of people. They often are free of blood and gore (something too common these days in other types of horror movies) and are just scary …
Lo Movie
Looking through my Netflix for something to watch on a rainy Saturday night, I came across a movie that seemed somewhat strange but also interesting and quirky. It was titled Lo, probably a film that most people have never heard of, it is a story of a young man …
Children of men
I didn’t really care for this movie. Half of the movie was kind of interesting and the other half was boring. I especially didn’t like the ending of it. I think that it could have been made a lot better, the acting could have been better, and the ending …
Evil Dead (2013) Movie
Remakes of classic horror movies don’t have the best track record. Yet, we live in an age where they are common place due to…I’m not sure.
I was skeptical when I heard that they were remaking “Evil Dead”. I’m a fan of the original trilogy and doing …
ARGO 2012 Film
I watched this movie before it received, as it happened, widespread critical acclaim, and so I actually was watching it without any expectations. And I should say, that when I started reading news reports about all the recognition that this movie got, I was rather surprised. It was puzzling …
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
When it comes to masterpieces on film, Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange knows nearly no rival. While my personal experience with the movie did not come until just last year (the incessant raving from other viewers finally pushed me into the fray to give the film a watch), I’m …
Babel movie
Babel had a lot to say and used intertwined stories to tell it. The movie was capable at discussing the narratives, often giving voice to those that aren’t often portrayed in movies. The Mexican housekeeper’s story is portrayed by her not being able to tell it. The Japanese teenager …
Beck Mongolian Chop Squad

Apparantly his superiors have reason to think he’s somehow connected with communism, which does not suit the swedish government. Hamilton denies this, but the interrogrators will not …
Hide and Seek (2005 movie)
I don’t really get the gist of this movie, it’s one of those films that just doesn’t make any sense. From the beginning, things just didn’t add-up, people were dying…claimed to be killed by the little girl’s imaginary friend. One would not begin the believe that the killer was …

This is about three parts of love, with the same couple but different times …
Breakfast at Tiffany’s movie
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is another classic that I keep watching repeatedly. In fact, just recently I bought the collector’s edition. This film is just amazing, and not only because actress Audrey Hepburn lights up the screen with her presence and fashion style. I think the film …
Eddie the Eagle (2016 Film)
As I said in my “Moneyball” review, I am not totally a fan of sports movie and sports in general, but I did love that film. I had no intention watching sports-related films unless they’re really good but today I was left with no choice - I had a tight …

Movie: Zombieland
When I first heard of the movie Zombieland, I wasn’t planning on watching it. I figured it would be like every other horror movie spoof out there and would be a big waste of my time.

Movie No Reservations
