Rosemary’s Baby
Rosemary’s Baby is a very good scary movie. It’s an older movie that was made in 1969 but it is still a very good movie. In fact I think it is a lot scarier than a lot of the newer movies out these days. I think that this film really …

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 …
The Helen Morgan Story movie
I absolutely adore The Helen Morgan Story. It’s an oldie, from 1957, but it is so tragically romantic that I was drawn to it from the first time I saw it. Helen Morgan was a singer and actress who made a name for herself on Broadway. …

Notes on a Scandal Movie

Separate Lies, (R, 2005) movie

The 40-Year-Old Version

Scy Fy’s “Stonehenge Apocalypse” made-for-tv movie
The made-for-TV, Scy-fy produced film in question is much like the title suggests: campy, amusing and predictable.
