All That Heaven Allows,1955 movie
The story takes place in the 1950s, in a small New England town where everything seems to be about appearances, social status, and snobbery. Cary (Jane Wyman), a middle-aged, recently widowed woman, lives alone in a nice large house. Her two grown-up kids, selfish to no end, are off …
“Friday the 13th part 6″ movie
I’ve been making my way through the “Friday the 13th” film series. It is one of the iconic horror/slasher franchises out there and I hadn’t seen it yet. Since I’ve been on a bit of a horror kick lately, I figured that now was as good a …
“Ted” movie
I’m not a huge fan of Seth MacFarlane. I used to like “Family Guy”, but eventually grew tired of it to the point where even the early seasons aren’t as enjoyable as I remember them. “The Cleveland Show” was just awful from the start and, while I’ve …
Pretty in Pink (1986 film)
The 1986 film “Pretty in Pink” is one of my all time favorite films! Nothing can beat a story of romance, friendship, and the social hardships that come with surviving high school. This movie reaches out to so many people of all ages, and it was difficult for me …
Summer Scars movie
When I first saw the cover of the dvd, to tell you the truth I didn’t expect anything higher than a movie which could only be described as b-rated. However, when I watched the movie I was more than surprised because I found it was actually quite interesting and …
Bruno
I can still recall sitting in a packed cinema in 2006. Laughing uncontrollably at the hilarious antics of actor Sacha Baron Cohen’s infamous character Borat. So naturally I had hopes for Cohen’s new movie centred on gay Austrian model Bruno.
The opening scenes of Bruno shocked me. Yes, …
Sunless movie
This is one of the most famous films by inventive french filmmaker Chris Marker (name taken from the “Magic Marker” filt pen, at least that’s what I read somewhere). It´s somewhere between a documentary and a fictional film, as it shows these “sunless” images from different cultures around the …

The Hot Chick Movie
This movie is one of Rob Schneider’s movie and I have seen this a couple of times on HBO already but I still want to watch it every time it’s being shown. It also features Anna Faris and Rachel McAdams when they were still not famous and I really …

Epic the Movie (2013)
Another fun-filled family adventure movie is here; from the makers of the Ice Age series and Rio, Epic feels to me like a magical combination of The Borrowers and Fern Gulley. I found myself being transported back to my childhood when I would have watched such films. However I …
Cheaper By The Dozen 2 Movie
This is the second movie that came out after the first. Cheaper By The Dozen 2 is better than the first. I couldn’t stop laughing. Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt once again play the Bakers and get themselves and their twelve kids into a ton of trouble when they …

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
“Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” 1975, is one ridiculous movie, a treat for a lover of absurdities and slapstick humor. King Arthur and some of his knights are searching for the holy grail. For some reason they ride imaginary horses - yes, that’s right: throughout the movie …
Titanic (Movie)
I love Titanic. I’ve seen the movie close to 30 times total since it was first released in 1998 and that includes the six times that I saw it in the theater. This is one of the few movies that made me want to learn more about the topic …
Every Secret Thing (2014 Crime Drama Movie)
Even though the movie “Every Secret Thing” seemed to gain a lot of bad and mediocre reviews on popular sites such as Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, I have to admit that I still enjoyed it. It was by no means perfect, but I think that there were elements of the …
Wanted
When the trailers for this movie first came out, I was really confused. I’m a big fan of crazy weird action flicks like the Matrix, but this seemed a little too far fetched; like Hollywood was running out of ideas. But, at the same time, it had Morgan Freeman …
The Adventures of Robin Hood DVD
I am not a huge Robin Hood buff, although I have enjoyed a Robin Hood movie or two in my times. I picked up this DVD collection mainly because of the price: an entire season, 39 episodes, for 5 bucks. It looked decent enough, and I do …
2 Fast 2 Furious
After the success of the original box office smash, the Fast and the Furious, they chose to make a sequel true to hollywood fashion, 2 Fast 2 Furious. This movie doesn’t boast of the original story line like its original predecessor. And Vin Diesel elected not to take part …
Hannibal Rising
This film is a prequel to Red Dragon, Silence Of The Lambs, and Hannibal, based on the book by Thomas Harris. The film starts slow, and never picks up the pace, focusing all on a young Hannibal in his teens living with his aunt. The movie is full of …
In The Cut (2003) Movie
I am afraid that I could not help comparing this movie all the way through to Nine and a Half Weeks, the 1987 erotic movie starring Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. Now that is an erotic movie and I (and my friends at the time too!) can totally …
The Amityville Horror

Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
It’s funny when I think about it, but I never wanted to watch this particular movie because it had Will Farrell and I had hated him ever since I watched the movie ‘Kicking & Screaming’ which was one of the most gawd-awful movies ever made in my opinion, so I …
Movie, The Imitation Game
I stumbled upon reading in advance about our Philosophy subject and I read something about the Turing Test. That made me think of the movie I just watched. Alan Turing is the main character of the movie The Imitation Game and he is also the same Turing in the Turing …

The Interpreter
I define “The Interpreter” as one of the best thriller’s of our time coming out from Hollywood. Without any doubt the director, Sydney Pollack has managed to include another successful movie to his chain of great movies, such as “Havana”, “The Firm”, “Out of Africa”, “Tootsie” and “Absence of …

2001: A Space Oddyssey (1968)
The film 2001: A Space Odyssey is a mind bending triumph of land mark cinematic filmmaking. Released in 1968, it was a box office hit, but was misunderstood by many critics as to what they were viewing. They had no idea they were viewing a celluloid epic creation which …
My Bloody Valentine (2009) - movie

Match Point (R, 2005) movie

The Aviator (2004)
