St. Elmo’s Fire (movie)
Didn’t everyone in the 1980’s love St. Elmo’s Fire? The whole thing about seeing a young Demi Moore and Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy was simply thrilling to millions, I am sure. I don’t see or understand the inherent value of St. Elmo’s Fire, myself. I laugh when I …

A Little Princess,1986
This is a good adaptation of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, far better than the 1995 version that for some reason turns the main character into a blonde and changes the ending. (Moviemakers, do us all a favor: if you want to change stuff, write your own …

Bandolero movie
Bandolero was a really strange western with an odd theme that was quirky but alluring. It has a bouncy element to it. I actually like the theme music quite a bit. It fits the movie.

The Rock (1996)

Frozen 2013 Animation (Movie)
After my cousin told me that an animation movie titled “Frozen” is leading the box-office. I knew this movie had some great odds of getting on top of my best animation movies list with “Tangled”. Tangled was released in 2010 with a great funny, hooking story and heart conquering …

I Stand Alone
What a very dark, terribly grim, and utterly nihilistic movie! This was, more or less, my initial reaction after watching Gaspar Noe’s shocking film, I Stand Alone, just recently.
Upon further reflection, though, I realized that if I were to objectively appreciate the film’s worth, I would say that it …
My little village movie
Czech comedy with a lot of seriousness to it from the 80s. The film was directed by a man called Jiri Menzel, and involves a number of different people in a small Czech village. It really has no real point to it, only everyday events are depicted, and that …
