Don’t Look in the Cellar (Trailer, 2009)
Normally, in the first paragraph of a review, I try and proved information such as the stars, director and such. This time, however, that task became untterly impossible, because although this is a trailer, I can’t find word one about anything else related to this film. Now …
Samantha Jones, character of Sex and the City

Django Unchained (movie)

Dahmer
This film, based on the killings of infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dhamer is a complicated film to judge. On one hand, it documents his crimes accurately enough, and for a big screen or small screen adaption of anything of the sort, the facts can be lost in the fiction, …

The Lost (NR, 2005) movie
I thought this movie was supposed to be good. I rented it on Netflix, looking at the four stars and really assumed that there would be some significant twists. But this film was completely lost on me. For one, Ray Pye’s character was not …
My Little Eye
The horror film “My Little Eye” was a film which I thought had a lot of potential to be a very good horror film if it was written better, was filmed better, had better actors and an even better director. Nevertheless, I think the film failed since it was …
John Carter (movie)
One of the movies that just did not interest me at all when I saw the trailer first was the movie John Carter. I still don’t understand why it didn’t either, since I remember thinking that the movie looked like something I would have sat an enjoyed. However, it …

Death in Love Movie (2008)
Death in love is not a usual kind of movie, which generally was not accepted well by neither the critics nor the public. And do not blame them one bit. Death in love in unconventional, not clearly structured, and the topics dealt within this movie are just all over …

Ace Ventura, Pet Detective (movie)
Call me easily amused, but I sincerely think that Ace Ventura, Pet Detective is one of the most hillarious movies of all times. Jim Carey is just outstanding in this flick, and basically utilizes every funny bone in his body to put on a powerfully amusing movie. …

This …

Boogie-Woogie Dream movie short
The magic of Boogie-Woogie Dream, a 1944 movie short, comes in the form of newcomer, Lena Horne. She is the centerpiece and she’s worthy of the honor, too.

We’re No Angels (movie)
For a comedy film, the movie We�re No Angels really doesn�t produce many laughs.
Robert DeNiro and Sean Penn put in a valiant effort, but the weak script and the even weaker concept really doesn�t work. You can only make so many jokes at the expense of the church …
Tom Brown’s School Days movie
I had never heard of 1940’s Tom Brown’s School Days before watching it this afternoon. It was an intriguing view on honesty, integrity, and strictness at an English school called Rugby.
