Tim Burton is a genius. I need to state my opinion on that. I have loved most of his movies, and his collaboration with Johnny Depp, is one of my favorite actor/director combinations. I also need to state that I have a deep affection for Lewis Carroll and the …
The House of the Devil movie 2009

Juno is Good
Juno was a pretty good movie. It was the best movie I have ever seen, but it was interesting. If you don’t like weird and awkward story lines than this movie is probably not for you. However, I enjoy movies that are a little different and this movie is …
Speedway movie
From 1968, Speedway combines the talents of Elvis Presley and Nancy Sinatra. Okay, it’s a so-so plot and we’ve seen it a thousand times, and the characters are stereotyped and not particularly that ‘wow-some’. I don’t think there’s any way you can say that either performer had …
The Craving movie
Before I watched this movie, I heard of it and read a few reviews on it. Most of them were good. People said the plot was promising, and th e movie was scary. However, when I actually watched it for myself, I thought that “The Craving” was pretty disappointing …
Texas Chainsaw Massacrew Original

“Fantastic Four” is a bad 2005 movie featuring Marvel Comics’ first family of superheroes. Although the movie features some good casting decisions and updates the horribly dated background of the team, some of the problems with the film are so significant that they drag the whole movie down …
300 Movie
Intense action and extreme fighting scenarios of this movie had me repeatedly saying my favorite exclamation phrases. The movie 300 DID bring the Spartans to their greatest glory! Knowing that this had happened in real life thousands of years ago (based on what I have read) added my fascination …

Deja Vu DVD Movie

This movie is about Denzel, …

Don’t Breathe - Horror Movie (2016)
When it comes to horror movies, I’ve been disappointed by the garbage churned out over the past decade. Most horror movies draw up on the cliches that were once innovative at the start of the decade. However, Don’t Breathe stands out for all the right reasons. It’s definitely a scary …

I must admit that “Love Actually” is one of my favourite all time movies. What makes this movie so special is the fact that it tackles the theme of love from various angles in a simple and straight forward manner.
In this movie we get to meet eight different stories …
300 (R, 2007) movie
I knew that I would like this film, even though I typically don’t get into fantasy psi-fi period films. However, the graphics and effects alone are great enough to warrant a viewing. Anyway, the Battle of Thermopylae is expertly executed in this intense fantasy-like film. …
Red Tails (movie)

Movie Charade (1963)
Perhaps I’d like to call myself an Audrey Hepburn devotee because every time I sit down and watch one of her chick flicks, it gives me yet another reason to dig more on her profile as an actress of several films. Her onscreen portrayals are made known by …
Terminator Salvation
For those who haven’t been living under a rock for the last decade, the latest Terminator film is the fourth of it’s kind. Perhaps I overestimated the popularity of the Terminator series, but how could you not be compelled to watch Arnie, who happens to be a …

Baby Geniuses (1999)
Scientifically engineered babies are used to fund a secret organization that in turns fund a theme park. Hmmm, a very interesting situation. I don’t get it and neither will you. LOL! All you will need to understand about this movie is that there are super babies cultivated by scientists …
Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street
When it comes to classic horror movies, I can’t imagine making a list of the best without including A Nightmare On Elm Street. Wes Craven gave audiences a whole new kind of killer when he unleashed the charred murderer into the dreams of teens in the mid eighties. …
Internal Affairs Movie
I expected it to be a good and interesting movie. I like cop stories and I like Andy Garcia. But heck! What an absolutely dragging movie! For a cop movie in Hollywood, there was just too much talking. I could barely keep my eyes open.
