Peter Pan movie
The classic fairytale by Barry in a new version. The most famous films on the story would be Disney’s classic animation and Spielberg’s Hook. This new version follows the same path as those two films and doesn’t really break any new ground, not even visually. For those of us …
Movie : Bangkok Dangerous (2008)
Quick word of advice… If you’re one of those people that have decided to dismiss Nicholas Cage and any films that he may star in I suggest moving on to different review as I really liked this movie and am a big supporter of Nicholas Cage in general.
Apparently …
Children of Men Movie

The departed movie

The Cabin in the Woods (2012 film)

Firehouse movie
This review is for a movie called Firehouse, which is not to be confused with Richard Dean Anderson’s Firehouse movie of 25 years later. However, whereas in 1997 it was women having to deal with being accepted, in this 1973 version, it’s African Americans struggling to break in …

Amadeus movie
Milos Forman’s powerful film about the legendary composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It’s a very colorful and moving portrait, narrated through the eyes of one of Mozart’s competitors during this time, who was only mediocre in comparison.

Spirit Trap
Starring: Billie Piper (Jenny), Sam Troughton (Nick), Luke Mably (Tom), Emma Catherwood (Adele), Alsou (Tina), Chike Okonkwo (Edmund Joseph)
This movie is actually not too bad; it started off as rather mundane, but the idea of an old clock that linked the past to the current is quite refreshing!
Jenny …
Transformers 2
Transformers 2 is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. The movie matches the intensity of the first Transformers movie but brings the action up a notch. Here is my opinion on the movie.

Your Friends and Neighbors (R, 1998) movie
Usually I really like those films that take place in New York, and follow groups of friends around in their fabulously “mundane” single lives. This one was a little odd. I realize that the movie is over 10 years old. But I think it’s …

A Reasonable Man movie

Guys and Dolls
I have a lot of respect for 1955’s Guys and Dolls because it pulled off the surprise sensation of the year, musically. I recently reviewed Chicago and commented there how surprised I was at the performances of non-singers and dancers Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Renee Zellweger. …

Re-Animator
The movie, the Re-Animator, is based off of H.P. Lovecraft’s novel of the same name. It’s a massive gorefest, filled with loads of blood, nudity, and a very addictive theme song. This isn’t what you would call a zombie movie, or a infection or virus movie either, but it …
