The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)
This movie has got to be one of the most distracting, annoying, over developed, load of crap that I have ever had the torture of watching in my entire life. From the opening scene, even though things started off pretty and grand, it made a very hasty effort to …

This is an older and lesser known version of Jane Eyre starring George C. Scott as Mr. Rochester and Susannah York as Jane. The movie was made in 1970. I bought my copy because of the great George Scott: the moment I heard there’s a “Jane Eyre” movie with …

From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given.

America’s Sweethearts
This movie has some great actors in it, including Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones, but it’s not a movie I’d sit and watch over and over again. It’s a great Cinderella type movie, but it’s just not my favorite of all time chick flick. This movie feels like the …

Wes Craven movie Red Eye
