Zombieland movie
I heard very little about Zombieland before I rented it, however in passing I heard nothing but praise for the movie. I figured this was a bad sign. I very seldom agree with the masses on what is considered good, so I went into Zombieland thinking I was going …
Urban Justice
I personally thought the star of Steven Seagal was fading in the early to mid nineties. It seems as if someone keeps letting him make movies. Not that I mind him making more movies. But like this newest Seagal flick, Urban Justice proves, if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen …
Babel, the movie
I got to see the movie Babel with a friend last week, and we came out with mixed opinions. I liked the film, and she was less thrilled by it. We both agreed on several things, though. We agreed that the film is fairly interesting and …
Show Boat musical
It took me a long time to actually get through Show Boat in one sitting, and while I agree it’s a classic motion picture, for some reason I don’t watch it that often. It’s another musical that features Howard Keel, and for some reason, his pictures are ones …

The Santa Clause 2 (2002 Film)

X-Men 3 movie

John Fawcett’s 2001 horror / comedy film “Ginger Snaps”
I don’t like horror movies as a rule. “The Sixth Sense” gave me nightmares for weeks, and I can’t even watch trailers of gore films, unless I’m trying to get unhealthy blood adrenalin levels. Therefore, it took my friend a lot of effort to emotionally blackmail me into watch …
Ironman
Before renting Ironman, I expected it to be a cliché, super-hero, comic-book movie. Even though I love anything Robert Downey Jr. does, I didn’t expect this role to show off his brilliant acting ability. I was wrong about that, and I really enjoyed this action movie, because it actually …
Beowulf Movie
I went into Beowulf with some high expectations. Sure, Angelina Jolie was in it (someone I can’t stand), but the previews looked pretty good, the animation truly incredible and I have always been a fan of the Beowulf story. What could be better than seeing Beowulf beautifully …

The Devil Wears Prada Movie
This movie is considered a “fashion” movie that’s best applicable for young ladies and women who dreams of making it to a very glam city with a good-paying job, a fantasic career, an even-better boyfriend, and a set of girlfriends to share it all with. Unfortunately, this isn’t the …

I Am Legend (R, 2007) movie
