Signs movie

Anatomy Movie
Anatomy is one of those horror movies that I really love. It isn’t too graphic, it doesn’t use a lot of harsh language, but it still manages to scare you in ways that other movies can’t. I think part of it is because the movie was made in Germany …

This is one scary movie, and no wonder: it’s based on a Stephen King book. Don’t watch it unless you’re a fan of horror films. Also, don’t watch it if you are an animal lover.

Batman Begins
I am reviewing the 2006 movie, Batman Begins, staring Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine. I for one am not a huge comic fan or anything dealing with super-heroes and what not, but I really enjoyed this movie. Christian Bale is phenomenal as …

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Cassanova movie
