District 9 movie
District 9 is a movie I bought after seeing it in theaters. I love science fiction-type films, and since this one contains aliens, it was right up my alley.

I personally think that this is one of Christopher Lee’s better performances and movies out of all of his older movies. This is not only because his acting was good, but because I thought that the movie itself came with a lot of good qualities, such as a great …
For Pete’s Sake movie
I really get a kick out of For Pete’s Sake, a 1974 movie with Barbra Streisand and Michael Sarrazin. They play a newly married couple just making it from day to day. Pete (Sarrazin) drives a taxi, while Heniretta (Streisand) tends to their apartment and acts essentially …

Death in Love Movie (2008)

Saw V (2008) movie

Spotlight (2015 Film)
There are films that everyone needs to see, not because of the thrills, not because of the visuals, not because of the actors/actresses, but because they’re simply important.
Spotlight is that kind of film. It tells the story of the dark secrets of this world that people needs to understand, because …
Tequila Sunrise movie
From 1988, Tequila Sunrise simply bored me from scene to scene. I could never get into it. In fact, I turned off the DVD on one day and went back to it on another, starting from the beginning. It was just too uninteresting.

Friended to Death, movie (2014)

The Last Airbender the movie
The live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender”, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, certainly leaves much to be desired. The premise of the movie retains the same plotline as the cartoon. After100 years of being trapped beneath the ice, Avatar Aang has awoken to …
