Colossal (2017 Sci-Fi Comedy Film)
Very few movies get you to unexpected places. Most of the time the movie starts and 5 minutes in you know where it is taking you. Perhaps one of the biggest problems of blockbuster filmmaking is that everyone is running out of ideas, immediately sticking to a single genre that …
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015 Animated Superhero Movie)

Captain Phillips (movie)

Pleasantville (fantasy comedy drama movie)
After finally being able to watch it, I believe that the movie Pleasantville is one of those that sticks with you for a very long time, not just because it’s interesting but because of what it represents socially in terms of human evolution.
In the movie, the teenage twins David …
Open Water 2: Adrift (Thriller Movie)

Django Unchained movie

Stephen King’s The Mist
This is one of the most recent of the Stephen King adaptations to hit the big screens, but I have to say that it isn’t one of the best. 1408 was one of the scariest movies I have seen in quite some time, but the Mist just didn’t …
