Children of Dune movie
Children of Dune was a 2003 SyFy channel made-for-tv release based on the books by Frank Herbert. Now I typically shy away from movies based on books and, more specifically, movies that are practically remakes from 1980’s classics, such as the original Dune, but I was shocked by the …

“The Mother” will be a shock to people under the age of thirty who can’t imagine their parents having sex at all much less have casual sex and enjoying it. The 112-minute UK film tells about May, a woman in her late fifties or sixties, and Toots, her husband …

“Narcos” Series on Netflix
To put into perspective, the duality of this Netflix Original greatly symbolizes the duality of the genre bending that it is standing for. “Narcos” is both a crime drama as much as a pseusdo-drama-based documentary. That might be a mouthful but it also makes sense why this show …
Premonition movie
I went to see premonition a few days ago at Cineworld Cinemas because it looked like a film that has you on the edge of your seat and because i think Sandra Bullock is a good actress.

In The Cut (2003) Movie

Inside Out, 2015 Animation, Comedy Movie

Orphan was released July 24th 2009. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. If you haven’t seen it yet you are not missing too much so don’t fret. This movie tried hard to come across as a horror/thriller type movie. In reality it was neither. It was more like a …

National Lampoon’s Van Wilder
This movie is a decent comedy, even against my initial expectations. So far every other “National Lampoon’s” movie has just been awful. This has completely changed my view of them for the future!

A Christmas Carol (1938)

Somewhere movie
I’ve seen many bad movies lately. When I got to see “Somewhere” even if it was a movie for what I have waited a long time. I watched it from inertia. But the movie got me on the wrong foot.
