Wreck It Ralph is a fantastic movie, both for kids and for adults. It is very family-friendly, and a great flick for a movie night.

It has been a long while since I got to see the movie Monster Squad. So, when I was bored this weekend, I popped in the 20th anniversary addition I’ve owned but never opened and watched it again.
Overall, I still think it’s a good movie. But, I will confess …

Shakespeare’s classic drama set in a modern environment, directed by Kenneth Branagh. I think it’s close to impossible to create a convincing film out of a Shakespeare story. Most of the times it just feels like filmed theatre, and that means one might as well visit the theatre instead …

Tomb of the Werewolf (2003)
A thorough, total and utter travesty and the only film I have ever seen that was both excruciating to watch and emtionally painful as well.
I’ve been reviewing several of Paul Naschy’s films on here lately. Naschy was Spain’s reigning king of horror in the late …

What a horrifying situation, to be stranded in a foreign country, and caught up in the schemes of dealers of death. The premise of Turistas (Spanish for tourists) is straightforward. A group of tourists, fresh from a bus accident, find a beach to relax on before walking off to …

This movie was one hell of a ride. Although it didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end as it did for some viewers, I was nervous, excited, and always curious as to the plot of the film and what was going to …

I’ve always said there are many under-rated actors in Hollywood, and Fargo has two of them. William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi have helped many movies succeed with their performances, without the accolades of their peers. This movie is no exception. Both actors made this movie successful.
Macy is a …
