Taxi (movie)
Taxi is a movie about a cop undercover who teams up with a fast cab driver in New York to catch a bunch of women who have been robbing banks. First of all, a French movie of the same name has already been made that couldn’t have been worse …
Halloween By: Rob Zombie
When Rob Zombie’s remake of the classic “Halloween” came out in August 2007, being a big fan of the original “Halloween” film by John Carpenter, I was really looking forward to seeing it. Thought it was an interesting spin on the story to show more of what Michael Myers …
St. Trinian’s
The movie “St. Trinian’s” failed to impress me, even though it had an excellent cast of actors such as Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Mischa Barton and Stephen Fry. I found the script lacked certain magic and, in certain moments, there didn’t seem to be a link between one scene …
Movie Freedomland
One of my favorite movies. It kept me interested and entertained. I wasn’t bored throughout any of it. The ending was really good and surprised me, I didn’t expect the ending of it and I think that is one reason I liked it so much, because it was a …

Paris,Texas movie
Wim Wenders was a part of the german new wave in the early 70s along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog for instance. The opinions of Wenders are very divided, and I personally think his later films are very overrated, but back in the 70s and 80s he …

Captain Fantastic (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
This year is the year of surprises for me. I have expected many films to be great, such as Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad and Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk and they end up not matching my expectations. However, films such as Sing Street, Swiss Army Man, Hunt for the …
A Christmas Story (movie)
What strikes me as the main appeal of a Christmas story isn’t that it is a Christmas movie. It’s a story of youth, family and friends, with extra helpings of nostalgia (try eating that, Randy!).
The 40’s is captured brilliantly-the products surround the parkers, Higbee’s department store, the time of …
Lilies of the Field movie
Lilies of the Field is a classic motion picture that considers to reach the hearts of viewers. Sidney Poitier starred in the movie as a drifter who stops to get water for his car and ends up helping some German nuns to build their chapel. It’s quite …
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
I normally like murder mysteries, especially ones that don’t review who the killer is until the very end. However, in the case of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, I was very disappointed.

In the Bedroom, movie
Based on the short story, “Killings,” by Andre Dubus, “In the Bedroom” is a smart film that can resonate with even the most emotionally closed off of people. This is a film that hits us all where it hurts the most: the death of a child. It’s a story …

Planet 51 Movie 2009

A Friendship in Vienna movie
This movie premiered on The Disney Channel in 1988, but it is still one of the best movies that was ever shown on that network. Thirteen year Inge Dournenvald and Lise Mueller are best friends in Vienna, Austria. This is an amazing thing, because it is 1938, …
Airplane! film

An airplane crew suddenly becomes …
The Hills Have Eyes
This is one of the scariest remake movies I’ve ever seen. The original was filmed in 1977. The author of this Horrible tale is Wes Craven. The theme is nothing supernatural but mainly of unlikely people and it’s rather gross. When I look at it, …

Doogal animated film
I usually love animated films, especially some of the newer ones. However, though I did like Doogal, I really wasn’t all that impressed with it either.

Devil (2010 Film)

Malevolence (horror movie)
I kept reading some good reviews about the movie “Malevolence” but when I got to watch it I was very disappointed. It is one of those horror movies where the plot only sounds very good on paper. I thought that the rating should have been average at the very least …
Used Cars
Set in the times of an economically resurgent America, in those glamorous days of John F. Kennedy, ‘Used Cars’ is a racy action packed duration of every minute hilarity. Kurt Russell is the show-stealer with his suave & explosive marketing of used cars.

The Hills Have Eyes 2
It’s not often I come across a horror film that actually scares me to the point I want to make sure all the doors and windows are locked. The Hills Have Eyes 2 managed to accomplish this.
The 2007 remake turned out to be one of the scarier movies I’ve …
Wedding Daze - (starring Jason Biggs)
