ATL (movie)
I must admit that I was skeptical about this film at first. I didn’t realize that the movie was based on a real “era” in Atlanta. Furthermore, I did not realize that the movie was written by Antwone Fisher. The story centers around (4) teenage friends …
Dumbo
As Ward Kimball, on of Disney’s long-time animators and one of the Nine Old Men said about Dumbo, it ‘had great simplicity and cartoon heart.’ I think it is these two elements which talk to me whenever I see this movie. Before hearing Kimball’s comment, I never thought of …
The movie Remember the Titans (2000)

Demolition Man
This is one of my favorite Sylvester Stallone movies. I loved the action scenes in this movie and the constant antagonism between him and Wesley Snipes. This movie was definitely not boring in any way and had so many great fight scenes. Wesley Snipes played the perfect nemesis …
Obsessed the movie
I saw the Beyonce movie, Obessed, last night with my husband. It was honestly exactly what I expected. I didn’t expect something that would have me sitting on the edge of my seat, and it didn’t. The story line was fast moving and kept me interested, but it didn’t …

Son of Batman, movie
Considering Damian Wayne’s reception as Robin has been mixed, to say the least, it was an interesting choice to make a movie that showcased him and brought him into the DC Animated Movie Universe.
While this does take place within the “New 52″ world that DC had built within …
The First Wives Club
This movie I found to be very funny. I especially liked the part at the end, although the scene where they end up in a window washing rig outside of a building is great, too.
This movie is about three friends who have reunited after a long absence. They are …
The Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club remains, to this day, my favorite teen movie, and one of my favorite films overall. Simply put, it’s a classic. John Hughes manages to define his five principal characters as much more than the simple stereotypes presented in most teenage driven movies, while, at the same …

Such is the case when a group of former high school …
Back to the Future Part 2
Sequels usually flop, unable to capture the magic of the original. Rare cases include Superman II and The Empire Strikes Back. Back to the Future Part 2 joins that rare class, mainly because it is told partly from within the first movie. The filmmakers incorporated scenes from the first …
When a Stranger Calls
When a Stranger Calls is a very engaging thriller movie which gives enough chills to the viewer to make it a winning fare. This movie is the remake of an old movie with the same title. It is the story of an young student, Jill, and the experiences she …

Fright Night
It’s sometimes amazing how you can watch a movie when you�re younger and think it�s scary but, when you watch the same movie several years later, you aren’t frightened at all.
The movie Fright Night is like this.
When I first watched Fright Night, I was a pre-teen and I thought …
Columbus (2017 Drama Film)
“Every frame a painting,” is a term that could be aptly applied to this movie. And awhile its fairly static camera movement could mean a slow-burning calorie to be devoured by any human being watching this, the results are staggering. This is a widely-fleshed drama of two suffering characters trying …
