Movie: “Risky Business”
Tom Cruise had his big break in “Risky Business” back in 1983, and I could see why: the movie is the ultimate coming-of-age story, with all the expect twists and turns.

Suspicious River (R, 2000) movie

Strange Days movie
This science fiction film by the female director Kathryn Bigelow was hailed as one of the best films of its genre in a long time, but personally I really can’t see where the quality is. It’s the most unbelievable and unlogical story (even as a science fiction) about characters …
The Croods (movie)
There was a point in my life where I stayed clear of a lot of 3D animated movies because of two reasons. The first was that I stupidly thought that traditional 2D animation seemed to be becoming obsolete, as well as I just plain didn’t like a lot of …
Premonition
OK, I’ll admit it, when I rented the movie Premonition, I didn’t think it was going to be anything special. I mean, it looked creepy enough, but most movies do in the previews and then suck.

Vampire in Brooklyn,1995 movie
I guess the problem with this movie is that it cannot decide what it is: a horror or comedy. It is not scary enough to for the former and not funny enough for the latter. Eddie Murphy is playing the main character (and Eddie is not exactly vampire material, …
