Twilight
Twilight is truly an amazing book! This is a simple love story written by such a brilliant woman. Bella Swan is the heroine that represents the majority of girls - average, a bit klutzy, awkward and wishing for good times and good weather. Edward is what women …
Loch Ness (1996)
Since I’ve always been fascinated with the mystery surrounding the Loch Ness monster, I didn’t hesitate to watch a movie about it.
However, as far as movies are concerned, Loch Ness falls well short of being entertaining.
Ted Danson plays a scientist who is highered to prove once and for all …

Everyone knows Harry Potter - that’s how famous Harry Potter is. Whether you enjoy reading fantasies, you have to admit that Harry Potter books are excellent. JK Rowling had successfully created a a fake world which feels so real to the readers.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
When I first saw Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom back in 1984, I was disappointed. It had none of the exciting elements that made Raiders so successful. The biggest missing elements are the supporting cast. Brody was clearly a mentor to Dr. Jones. And Marion, the love …
Leroy & Stitch movie
I’m always glad when it’s my daughter’s turn to pick a movie because I know I’m usually going to find one that we will all enjoy.
Watching Leroy & Stitch last night is a perfect example.

Bubble Boy
I thought Bubble Boy was a very funny and cool movie. It was very funny yet sad at the same time. I thought the boy who played Bubble Boy did a great job of acting. Everyone else also did a pretty good job of acting in the movie as well. …

Lucy (science fiction movie)

Re-Animator
The movie, the Re-Animator, is based off of H.P. Lovecraft’s novel of the same name. It’s a massive gorefest, filled with loads of blood, nudity, and a very addictive theme song. This isn’t what you would call a zombie movie, or a infection or virus movie either, but it …
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
‘Shaun of the Dead’ is right up my street, being a big fan of the spoof zombie film ‘Return of the Living Dead’ rather than any of the serious ones. I also love ‘American Werewolf in London’ (werewolves, not zombies) so I guess the horror/comedy combination works for …
Les Miserables movie
None of the better adaptions of Victor Hugo’s classic novel about a human being who chooses the way of crime because of his tough childhood. Bille August directed the film and as with all of his work outside Denmark, there is only english speaking actors along, this time Liam …

Unknown (2011 Movie)
The combination of Liam Neeson and so many comparisons to 2008’s “Taken,” I was more excited about 2011’s “Unknown” than I should have been based on the preview. Although I wasn’t really excited about the movie’s premise, I was still hopeful. It was a really big letdown.
There’s no …

The Dead Zone
King adaptations are hit or miss. You have classics like “The Shining” or “Misery” and you have stinkers like “The Sleepwalkers” or “Tommyknockers”. There are also movies that fall between and all across the cinematic quality spectrum.
“The Dead Zone” is one of the better ones. David …

Black Christmas
I grew up watching the cult classic Black Christmas so, when I heard there was a remake of the 1974 movie, I found myself wondering if it would ever live up to the original. After all, the original set the standard for most slasher flicks; including Halloween.
After watching it …
