The Changeling movie
“The Changeling,” starring the brilliant George C. Scott, is a ghost story filmed in the 1980s, and the scariest one despite its age. Unlike many contemporary horror movies that rely on blood and gore, “The Changeling” uses more subtle ways, which work much better. The creators of this movie …

Batman v Superman - Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition (2016 Film)
I have seen the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman when it premiered last March but I walked away at the cinema with the feeling of incompleteness. I literally followed the production of the film since it was announced and I was hoping it would have paid off, but alas, …

Final Destination 1 movie

Overall, I have to say it was a good movie, though it did remind me a …

Creepshow movie
This movie is not unlike the Twilight Zone movie. It’s not one continuous narrative, but five short segments that are bookended with a “backstory”. This involves a boy reading a Creepshow comic before his father throws it out.
We zoom into the comic and see the stories inside …
The Matrix (science fiction action movie)

Spanglish

Memoirs Of A Geisha (movie)
Memoirs Of A Geisha is one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen. The scenery was stunning, even when Chiyo, our main character, is running through busy, dirty streets. The women in this movie were all lovely, from young girls to older matrons. I was told that I …
Imaginary Playmate

The Longest Day
Arguably, the best war film ever to be made. I believe it was filmed in 1962. Big names like, John Wayne, Richard Burton and Sean Connery to name a few, starred in this black & white movie.

Salt ( 2010 Movie )
I was really anticipating this film ever since I first saw its trailer. It opened today and I hurriedly watched the last full show. The movie just got a passing mark in Rottentomatoes.com. It says ” the plot was predictable and ludicrous”.

Zombieland movie
I heard very little about Zombieland before I rented it, however in passing I heard nothing but praise for the movie. I figured this was a bad sign. I very seldom agree with the masses on what is considered good, so I went into Zombieland thinking I was going …

I like watching movies starring the actor and martial arts expert Jackie Chan sometimes, but I never heard of the movie City Hunter until some time recently. It was actually supposed to be based on a Japanese manga of the same name, and when I got to watch it, …
High School Musical
This movie was very popular, especially among the preteen girl crowd. I can see why - they definitely chose actors/actresses that would appeal to that age group, including the boy who plays Troy (main character).

Aronofsky’s “Black Swan”

Super Bad Movie
Teenage Comedy. I thought I had seen every possible teenage movie scerino, that is until I watched Super Bad. From start to finish this movie had me rolling! The first funny thing I noticed was Seth’s enthuisastic nature. From the get go he spews curse word after curse word, …
Movie About a Boy
