Oh how I loathe these movies. My fiance takes me to them every time they come out on the big screen and I just HATE them. I don’t think there’s really any acting in it. Anyone can ‘act’ in a horror movie. I mean anyone. I just don’t get …

I remember seeing the ads for this movie when it first hit theaters several years ago. I had no idea what the storyline was. All I knew was that it was about a girl and her dog, and that alone was enough to make me want to see it. …

If you’re a child of the eighties like me, then you probably remember some cool cartoons. Not the snoopy’s and the garfield’s and stuff like that, but the more action laden cartoons like Voltron and Transformers. True to Hollywood form, they’ve taken everything you can think of and turned …

Last week, …

There are thousands — hundreds of thousands — of movies in the world. You can’t possibly go to all of them, especially if, like me, you like art house and independent films.
This is why I, and you, need Netflix.
I had to be talked into Netflix by two or …

When I began watching this British movie, I thought, “Definitely not Hollywood.” I don’t know how to describe it, but the movie had this simplistic, almost amateur feel. However, very soon I stopped noticing it.
