Perry Mason: The Case of the Fatal Framing movie

Eight Legged Freaks
I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks again last night because I hadn’t seen the movie in a while and couldn’t remember a whole lot about it.

The Babadook Movie
I’m always up for a good, creepy movie and I had heard good things about ‘The Babadook’. There were some detractors, but honestly, that almost made me more curious to check the movie out.

The Tree of Life (2011 film)
If there’s a film-maker that has accepted the notion of the old avant-garde style, which professes the use of very specific direction and narration in the most unconventional way, it is Terrence Malik. His style is not for everyone, and perhaps that includes me.

My wife and I absolutely loved the 2001 movie Joy Ride. So, when we saw there was a sequel, we wanted to see it. However, when we rented it, we figured it probably would turn out not to be any good.

Holy Motors (2012 film - avant garde, drama film)
Holy Motors is one of the best films I’ve seen in my life. But be warned, you may not understand it, or even like it, at all. Holy Motors is almost not even a film in the traditional sense of the word. Rather, it is a piece of extremely well …
The Watchmen (2009, Zack Snyder) film
You probably know the tag-line “Who is watching the watchmen?” and should add yourself to the list of people doing just that.
I’m a confessed sci-fi/fantasy geek, pretty up there in the scale but short of Klingon-speaking-Con-attending-Trekkie status. So I knew I would like this film. Even if you’re not …

Movie Mad Money
“Mad Money” is simply a great movie with mixture of comic and dramatic moments. The main actors in this movie are Diane Keaton, Ted Danson, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes and all of them do their part well, however Keaton gives that extra bit more and it shows.
“Mad Money” …

Cursed (Theatrical Version)
CURSED (Theatrical version)
This cinematic hairball was released in two versions on DVD: R-Rated and unrated.

Wes Craven’s first werewolf film is …
