Sharktopus vs. Whalewolf movie

The Cobbler, Movie

The Other Boleyn Girl movie

F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ movie
F. Scott Fitzgerald and ‘The Last of the Belles’ from 1974 was a bore to me. I’ve never really been into the Fitzgerald world. The Great Gatsby didn’t thrill me either, and I saw it in the theater, back when screens were huge. I also like …
From Hell Movie
Poor Alan Moore. He created some of the most visionary graphic novels to ever see print and the film adaptations almost always disappoint. LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN went from adventure satire to an X-MEN clone. V FOR VENDETTA went from chilling vision of the future to pushing political themes …
Daniel Craig is a GREAT 007
Initially I thought that Daniel Craig would not be a good James Bond. I thought he was not worthy of the 007 title. I am Bond purist. At first glance, I thought that he did not fit the style. Plus, he seemed like he had too much softness about …
The Day the Earth Stopped movie

Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, An Animated Movie
I have to admit that I am a Tim Burton fan. I loved nightmare before Christmas, but when this movie came out in 2005 I wasn’t really all that interested in buying it because the title was just a little too obvious. The title completely gave away the whole …
Black Swan Movie

Highlander
I actually saw the movie Highlander after watching the television series first. And, I’ll admit, it ended up being a bit confusing the first time around. But, after watching it a second and third time, it turned out to be a halfway decent movie.

Apollo 13
Last night was probably the 10th time I’ve seen the movie Apollo 13 and I have to say, it is still as good as the first time I saw it.

The Legend Of 1900 is a movie about this man who lives on a ship. Tim Roth, one of my favorite character actors, plays 1900, the person who the story was written about. The Legend Of 1900 is so beautiful that the movie just made me get all weepy …

Ed Wood movie
Tim Burton’s lovely portrait of the bizarre director Ed Wood comes to life with an amazing Johnny Depp in the leading role and Martin Landau as Bela Lugosi. I don’t know if everything in this film is the truth, but it sure is very convincing and enjoyable, much thanks …
