Epic the Movie (2013)

Jeepers Creeper (2001)
I don’t know what they may say about Jeepers Creepers but I think this one of the scariest movies I’ve seen. It’s got a sequel Jeepers Creepers II, shown in 2003 but the first one is scarier. The creeper (played by Jonathan Breck) is some kind of …
In the Name of the King A Dungeon Siege Tale
The best way to describe “In the Name of the King A Dungeon Siege Tale” is some where in between “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” and “The Last Legion”. Some described it that it has certain similarities to “The Lord of the Ring” trilogy.
This movie is about …

E.T. movie

Dorothy Mills movie
I am a big fan of horror movies, but not gore. Most movies with tons of gore seem to use it as a substitute for plot or character development. When I find a movie that is genuinely creepy without resorting to gore or cheap scares, I take notice.

Whenever Martin Scorsese comes out with a new film, I can’t help but become excited, and The Departed did not disappoint. Scorsese brings his wonderful cinematic vision we have seen in such movies of his as Goodfellas and the Raging Bull. The filmaking is also excellent which …
Pride
Some times I wonder if Hollywood has given up trying to come up with something original and just keeps rehashing the same plot in a different context.

Vampires Suck (Movie)
I’m so sick of Twilight and every other vampire detective-lost boy-romantic in a virtual quest to woo the girl and get his soul back that I could hurl. So naturally, when I heard about ‘Vampires Suck’, a Twilight spoof, I had to go see it. Initially I had somewhat …
