For those who haven’t been living under a rock for the last decade, the latest Terminator film is the fourth of it’s kind. Perhaps I overestimated the popularity of the Terminator series, but how could you not be compelled to watch Arnie, who happens to be a …
Lake View Terrace

If you’ve ever seen Eddie Murphy in family films like Dr. Doolittle and Shrek, I would recommend renting his Raw performance on DVD.

Movie Friday the 13th

Never Been Kissed movie
Normally, when I see a movie that has Drew Barrymore in it, I enjoy it tremendously.

Sapphire Girls
My wife picked up the movie Sapphire Girls the other day because she read the back of it and it sounded like an intriguing drama.

Amusement, horror film by John Simpson
