An American Crime (R, 2007) movie

The Bourne Legacy (2012)
The Bourne Legacy is actually a huge disappointment. I delayed watching it because I was reading the book. After reading the book by Eric Van Lustbader, the actual movie was a complete disappointment. As a matter of fact, the movie is still a disappointment even without reading the actual …
Crazy in Alabama
I don’t know what it is lately, but it seems, whenever I rent a “comedy” it turns out to be a good movie but it is horribly mis-classified.
That’s the case with the movie Crazy in Alabama; which, like many other movies is billed as a funny movie. But, in …
Amusement (R, 2008) movie
“Amusement” is one of those horror films that you have to watch with few expectations. I went into the movie with an open mind. I liked the fact that the film was broken up into parts, sections that would ultimately culminate into something that I could fuse …

I finally gave in and watched the movie The Messengers with my wife yesterday afternoon. And, even though I’ve never seen the film, I felt like I did.
The problem with The Messengers is, for a horror film, it’s really not all that scary. And, it’s because they used the …

Fever Pitch (1997 Version)

Pride and Prejudice
Having never been able to become very interested in the book for some reason or another, I somehow found myself enamored with the film version of Pride and Prejudice.

The Omnimax Theater
Although I feel you might be able to add “four dimensional” components such as motion and interaction with live objects simultaneous with the viewing of the film, the Omnimax provides what I consider the bets visual and audio experience possible.
I’ll get the sound out of the way because it …
The 2008 Comedy/Horror Teeth
A friend told me about this movie one Saturday and all but forced me to watch it. To tell the truth, at first I thought the movie was going to be silly, and just another b-movie since the plot alone sounded ridiculous to me. Either way, I tried it …
The Princess Diaries Movie
I can’t believe I fooled myself into watching this for the 3rd or maybe even 4th time. The first time was bearable since it was interesting to get a break from all the “thinking” psychological movies I usually get myself into. It was a simple plot: rag-to-riches kind of …

Diary of a Mad Black Woman

I hope I am not the only person who was totally NOT impressed with this movie. I found THE ISLAND to be entirely predictable after about 30 minutes. I try so hard not to figure out the endings of movies, or what is REALLY going on, because, when they …
Saw IV movie
