Unlike its predecessor, …

Stephen King’s The Mist (Movie)
When it comes to most of Stephen King’s movies I know to almost always expect three things: horror, mentally ill people and jaw dropping endings. This movie gives all three. It is a psychological horror that basically tells a story about a group of people who hide out in …
500 Days of Summer movie
The movie 500 Days of Summer is a bittersweet romantic comedy based around a man and the girl he thinks he has fallen in love with. It is not your usual sort of romance comedy, though, and the viewer knows this before the picture is ten minutes into …
Erin Brockovich movie
The movie Erin Brockovich is a very inspiring movie. She was a single mom of three that proved that she could make it. I was really impressed how she fought for the people in the town against a big company.

Pan’s Labyrinth

Starred Up (drama movie)
Starred Up was one of those movies that was recommended to me. However, at the time I didn’t pay it much attention because I’ve never heard the movie mentioned anywhere else. I figured it was going to be one of those low budget flops that was more of a waste …
Watchmen (2009)
A surprising and good film, the Watchmen was an adequately well done action film. A bit too cerebral at times, but very well directed. Based on the famous comic (graphic novel) by Alan Moore. The movie did a good job of transferring most of the depth …

Love and Death is a very silly 1972 movie written and directed by the fantastic Woody Allen and I just re-watched it yet again. It cheered me up for at least three days after watching it, especially as the scene —˜No, you must be Don Fransisco’s sister’ kept …

Personally, I like this movie. Although it is another English remake of a Japanese movie, which I have not seen, the movie was still pretty impressive. The story line was good, although some aspects of the story needed to be explained a little better, or just explained at all. …
Super 8 (2011 Movie)
For me, Super 8 was surprisingly good film considering the trailer did absolutely nothing for me. From great performances to an intense build-up of suspense, it’s a very enjoyable film.
Although the film’s director, J.J. Abrams is known for his first-person photography, this movie really benefits from the fact that …
The Number 23 (2007) movie
I saw this more of an experiment to see if Jim Carrey could take on a serious role instead of his usual funny guy characters. I would have to say it was pretty failed in this movie. The concept was good but it just didn’t seem to follow through …
Burn after Reading
Brad Pitt, George Clooney and other good actors play in this movie. So you would think it is a good movie, right? Well it’s not in my opinion. Other than a couple funny moments with Brad Pitt the movie sucked. As soon as I thought it was getting to …
