Alice in Wonderland, 2010 Fantasy film

In the Name of the King A Dungeon Siege Tale

This movie is about …
The movie the bounty hunter

Netflix
Recently, I evaluated the Netflix rental service. It’s very much like that of Blockbuster’s, where you select the DVDs you’d like to rent, they send them to you, you return them, and then the next one is sent. Unfortunately, the Netflix trial isn’t as long as Blockbuster’s …

Hairspray
If nothing else, this remake of the 1988 musical is worth watching for John Travolta playing the main character’s mother - yes, *mother*. She is fat, and she dances. Travolta is unrecognizable under layers of latex and a fat suit, when I first saw a photo of him in …

Movie: Batman Begins
“Batman Begins” is an epic 2005 film by Christopher Nolan, and starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, and Gary Oldman. This is a spectacular movie that did much to erase the memory of the horrible Batman movies of the 1990s.

The Disappointments Room (Horror Movie)
