V for Vendetta: Movie
I feel that V for Vendetta is a very good film that is based on what I feel is an excellent topic.

One of the things I …
Kissin’ Cousins movie
I adore Elvis Presley and always have, but at the same time, I’ve felt sorry for him. That probably sounds crazy, but he was too loyal for his own good. It was his loyalty to the infamous Colonel Parker, his so-called manager, that resulted in Elvis starring …
New In Town (starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.)
I would say watch this movie, New In Town (starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.) if you want a dosage of humility, some form of morality watch. This movie is something that I truly praise and it has such compassion, feelings and heart. To make this kind …
Night At the Museum
I don’t watch many movies; usually when I watch a movie more than once it ends up being a favorite that I want to own. Night At the Museum is a perfect example. This is by far one of the funniest, cutest movies I’ve seen; there’s nothing questionable, it’s …

Vantage Point movie
For my twenieth birthday, three friends of mine dragged me to the movie theater to see the new 2008 film Vantage Point. I had not heard of the film, but I was not interested. I’d have preferred simply to hang out at a friend’s house and play cards. Begrudgingly, …

Death Race movie
Discretion: Alot of violence is in this movie, not only blood (and gore in some cases), do not watch this movie if you are not ok with fist to face action, or even face to concrete/metal action. It’s loud, very loud, depending on what theatre you go to, or if …

Tamara movie

The Thrill of It All movie
