Batman The Dark Knight Rises 2012 Movie
Dark Knight Rises. When you think about it, it certainly sounds like a Batman movie. I mean, Batman is always needing to rise above or overcome something. His world is always filled with darkness and overcoming the evils of Gotham City. But in this movie, I think there were …
The AmityVille Horror (2005)
I think The AmityVille Horror remake that was done in 2005 was pretty good. I mean most of the movie was just great and it scared the hell out of me. Now I think the best thing about the movie is that it shows you a lot of things that …
Zodiac (R, 2007) movie
I will admit that this movie seemed a little slow to me at first. I had seen the other Zodiac movie (slightly better than a B movie) and this one was much more thorough. Jake Gyllenhaal provided a very believable performance. But overall, I …
Carny Movie
I finally got time to sit down and watch a horror movie this past weekend (I’ve been in the mood for one). I didn’t have a whole lot to choose from so I ended up watching the 2009 movie Carny.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
I could not miss this second instalment of Madagascar for the world as I had simply loved the first one. I caught this with my cousin and went with a high expectation, especially after the fantastic part 1. After all, the trailers for part 2 was also equally impressive …
The Orphanage (2007)
Yesterday, my whole family and my boyfriend managed to watch this DVD movie, The Orphanage (2007), and I must say it scared the daylights out of us. This is a Spanish movie, so be prepared to read the subtitles. It ain’t that bad, but ain’t that good either. …
Warm Bodies (movie)
Just a few days ago, one of my friends and I went to see the movie “Warm Bodies”, which seemed like one of the few interesting movies going on despite what some people had said about it in reviews on the internet. The few reviews and comments about it …
Marooned movie
Marooned isn’t a big favorite of mine, but there’s something about it that when I start watching it, it’s hard to turn off. I normally love space-age movies, but sometimes they seem a bit off. While that’s the case here, the acting in some cases is so …

Vertigo
I will never get bored watching this classic movie cum thriller romance called Vertigo. There is something hauntingly chilling but at the same time giving a nice feeling of romance after my each time watching this movie. Alfred Hitchcock was a real genius and it’s kind of sad …
The Joy Luck CLub DVD

In my opinion the by far best adaptation of a detective story by Agatha Christie, in which Albert Finney appears as the genius detective Hercule Poirot.

Erin Brokovich Movie
I saw this movie twice and was very impressed by Julia Roberts’ acting. She isn’t one of my favorites, which I don’t think is her fault. Since ‘Pretty Woman’ she has been a bit typecast. Most movies I’ve seen her in have been very light and …
Movie: Vampires Suck

The movie Remember the Titans (2000)

Flight Movie
I already knew that Denzel Washington was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for this film before I watched it. Thus, I was expecting this film to be somehow good. I thought it was some aviation disaster film or a terrorist-inspired aviation film. However, the movie was …
Mystery Science Theater 3000
When I was in high school, one of my favorite shows on TV was Mystery Science Theater 3000. Yet, when they made a movie based on the series, I didn’t get a chance to watch it; until now.
