Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen
When we first saw previews for the movie Adventures of a Teenaged Drama Queen, we thought it would be a somewhat funny movie. Turns out it was actually quite dull.

Movie The Beast and the Magic Sword (1984)
After the box office flop of The Craving, Paul Naschy never thought he’d ever play the werewolf role he made famous ever again. Well, never say never because he was tapped by a Japanese company to make this strange “Werewolf runs amok in fuedal Japan” mini epic.
If the description …

Godzilla 1954 is so much better than the American release, Godzilla 1956. Godzilla 1954 was just recently released in America for the first time ever and it is an incredible film.

Black Swan Movie
The funny thing about Black Swan is that I should really have no reason to want to watch it. True, it’s a film by Darren Aranofsky, who’s acclaimed film “Requiem for a Dream” is one of my favorite movies, and who also gave us “The Wrestler”, but none of …

Kids (NR, 1995) movie
