Alice in Wonderland, 2010 Fantasy film

Blair Witch Project 2 (Movie)

Because I said So

Dead Mary (UR, 2006) movie

Land of the Dead, movie (2005)
When zombies made their return to the forefront of horror film, there were almost as many good ones as bad ones. For every good one like 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead, there were bad ones like the remakes for Dawn of the Dead and Day …
The Santa Clause 3 (2006 film)

First I want to start off by saying that the hype of this movie was a big let down. I got my expectations set to high before I watched this movie I just expected more from it. It was still a very good movie that had a lot of …
The Secret movie
I came across a movie on Netflix called “The Secret” and it sounded like a really good thriller. The fact it starred David Duchovny also won me over because I’ve always felt he was an underrated actor.

Christmas Vacation is the only Christmas movie that I watch EVERY year and it never gets old. All of the characters are really great and genuinely funny. Chevy Chase certainly stills the show but kudos need to also go to cousin Eddie. The dynamic duo of …
Melancholia (2011 film)
Lars Von Trier is a spectacular film-maker for many reasons-his meaningful, charismatic, dark and devouring style, but what really makes his movies memorable is the fact how despairing and the amount of negative feelings that Melancholia for instance arouses with me. I am not stating that …
The Men Who Stare at Goats, war comedy film

Meet the Spartans
With movie theater tickets averaging around 10 dollars, and popcorn, soda and candy averaging all together around 10 dollars as well, that all adds up to a very angry person leaving the “Meet the Spartans” theater. I think I lost brain cells watching that movie. I wanted to throw …

Howl’s Moving Castle
“Howl’s Moving Castle” did not take a step forward for Studio Ghibli. The Japanese animation studio is renowned for excellent story

The Last Legion

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is not bad of a movie, if you ask me. Starring Matthew McConaughey, the beautiful Jennifer Garner and the very talented Michael Douglas, this is a movie not to be watched for those loving romantic comedies.
There are quite a few laughable plots, especially …
The New World (2005 Film)
The 2005 film “The New World” starring Collin Ferrell, Christian Bale and Q’orianka Kilcher is a beautifully romantic tale that captures the rough and heart breaking story of Pocahontas. Not only was this story a version of Pocahontas that perhaps many are not familiar with, but shows in depth …
