Sahara movie
After the defeat in Tobruk in 1942, Joe Gunn leads his troops through the desert of Sahara to get away from Rommel’s army and reach his allied forces.

The Legend Of 1900
The Legend Of 1900 is a movie about this man who lives on a ship. Tim Roth, one of my favorite character actors, plays 1900, the person who the story was written about. The Legend Of 1900 is so beautiful that the movie just made me get all weepy …

Contagion Movie (2011)

Vexille, CGI anime film
I applaud Vexille for taking a different direction in its CG animation, but the lack of characterization and story really hurt it in the long run.

Movie: “The House Bunny”
“The House Bunny” came from the same writers that created “Legally Blonde”; while “Bunny” is definitely not the instant classic that “Legally Blonde” was, it’s a cute movie of its own right.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies - Movie (2014)
