Feast, 2006 Horror Film
This is one of those few horror movies that come out and are not only freaky and disgusting, but hilarious. I think it’s obvious that the director wanted it to be both. Basically you have a bar full of goofy misfits (I swear if you’ve ever been in …

Daredevil movie

Suicide Squad (2016 Superhero Movie)
I can’t really explain how excited I was to see the movie Suicide Squad after I viewed the trailer. Both listening to the soundtrack and seeing the visual effects alone brought me to a level of anticipation that I only had with viewing upcoming Marvel movies. Thus I sacrificed the …
Kill Your Darlings (2013 Biographical Drama Movie)

The Night Listener
I’m not really sure why but whenever Robin Williams is in a drama, I just can’t take him seriously. The Night Listener was the perfect example of this.

Film 1408
I had been looking forward to the big screen adaption of Stephen King’s excellent short story 1408 from his collection Everything’s Eventual. I’d heard quite a few positive reviews and heard that it didn’t do too bad at the box office either, which was unexpected and hopefully a good …

The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery movie

Evolution Movie
Science Fiction comedy in the same category as Ghostbusters for example. A meteorite hits the earth and brings with it a strange new form of life that threatens to take over the planet, or does it?
There’s not much to say about this. If you liked Ghostbusters, Men in Black …

*Contains Spoilers*

“Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” movie
After seeing the next one already, overrated film with Depp in the lead role, such as at least three of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” I realized that the goal of this production is only attract large audiences billboard advertising, a good harbinger, and the name of the actor.
With …
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003 Drama Movie)
I heard of the movie Girl with a Pearl Earring long before I watched it, but I just figured that it would be one of those overblown movies that would only be popular because it had a Hollywood sex symbol playing one of the main roles. However, after forcing myself …

There are bigger budget superhero movies today but the first Superman movie is still the one they need to live up to.

Movie Numb
I am reviewing the movie, Numb, starring Matthew Perry. So there’s this guy. He has a lot of problems. He has depersonalization. This means that everything around him is in a dream state. He doesn’t know whether things are real. They all seem like they’re holograms and unreal. In …
Precious movie - Based on the novel Push by Sapphire

When the television show X-Files was on TV, I was a person who never found the enthusiasm to watch it. But, when the newest X-Files movie, I want to believe, came out, I figured I would give it a try to see what I had missed.

Skinwalkers
The movie poster of this movie titled “Skinwalkers” doesn’t suggest much, but sure looks horrible enough to attract the horror pro customers like myself, sacrificing other shows to make this one.
