Good Against Evil movie
Good Against Evil, a 1977 movie, was apparently a pilot for a TV series which didn’t sell. I’m not surprised, to be honest. Unfortunately, this also means that there is no ending really to the picture. That’s because the catalyst for the action had to be …
Wes Craven movie Red Eye
Well I laughed and that’s something. These are my thoughts on the Wes Craven movie Red Eye. I approached this movie with much trepidation. The last time Craven stepped outside the horror genre he made Music of the Heart. You surely understand my reservations. Red Eye however, is …

Mommy (drama movie)
Someone recommended the 2014 movie “Mommy” to me when we were having a conversation about rotten child characters in movies. In addition, I had also seen a number of good reviews about it on the web. Watching it however was completely different from what I expected. I was completely entranced …
The Deserter movie
Another silent montage film by the perhaps most appreciated director that worked with the style, next to Eisenstein - Vsevolod Pudovkin.
Looking through all of his work, I have to say Pudovkin’s films have aged a lot better than Eisenstein. While Eisenstein did all he could to make the films …

With a cast like that, how can you go …
The Alphabet Killer
I came across an Eliza Dushku movie “The Alphabet Killer” on our Netflix Instant watch list last night and, because I have yet to see her in a movie I didn’t like, figured it would be worth watching last night. It also helped that it had Cary Elwes in …

Stargate SG-1 - The Enemy Within
The second episode of the TV series Stargate SG-1 was called “The Enemy Within”. It’s a transition episode really from the pilot movie to the series itself. It’s not a big favorite of mine, probably because it is still struggling with getting all its eggs in its …

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon Movie
Out of all three Transformers films, this film was the best one out of all of them. And I’m not talking about the human performance. More than anything, it was so good to see that Optimus Prime had a much larger role in Transformers Dark of the Moon, than …
A Clockwork Orange (1971)

Perfect Stranger
This movie kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole movie. You do need to kind of pay attention while watching though because once it gets to the end of the movie if you haven’t payed attention you aren’t going to understand it. Halle Berry did an amazing job …
