Moulan Rouge is the kind of movie that people either really love or really hate. It is a musical but contains no original music. Normally I would think this was a weakness, but the theme of the movie is a nightclub that caters to a generation of young people …
Movie: The Lorax

Contraband (2012 Movie)
With so many movie trailers exploiting all their best parts, it’s rare that a movie is better than I expected from the trailer; this is the case with Contraband. I expected a fast-paced, “Gone in 60 Seconds”-style movie, and while it delivers that, it delivers a lot more.
There are …

Lost Boys: The Tribe, vampire horror film by P. J. Pesce

Spiderman 3
I’ve mentioned this once, but when it comes to Superhero movies, you usually will have a hit with the first attempt at it but the sequels will never live up to the original. In the case of Spiderman 3, the third installment is definitely terrible compared to the previous …

United 93 movie
“United 93″ is a movie about 9/11. Depend on what is left in the cockpit’s tape, the editor tried as hard as he could to put what really happened in United 93 into the screen. Passengers are stranger to each other when they get into the plane. They stand …
