The film Detachment is a little different from the dramas that I’m used to watching, and this is why I liked it so much. It is its raw and gritty nature that attracts me to it, and the fact that it does nothing to conceal certain elements that are bordering …

I was surprised that the movie, The Strangers (2008) make the cut. I thought it was going to be another cheap flick or something, but it turned out that the story is real good. Masked strangers invaded the lives of Kristen McKay acted by Liv Tyler and …

A musical with a dark twist…Stunningly horrific…On your edge, nail biting…
Dumbest movie I have ever seen in my whole life. C’mon, what were the diretors thinking. Don’t waste your time people, just look at the name and walk away. This film was never meant to be made.
Rating: 1

You could call this a match made in heaven. Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese team up for the “Aviator” and managed to surprise me on all fronts with an excellent drama that viewers can’t help but like. With the real life of Howard Hughes so cloaked by his own …

One of the most loved and cherished of the holiday classics is The Bishop’s Wife from 1947. Starring Cary Grant, David Niven, and Loretta Young, it’s an enchanting story of a bishop, his wife, and a Christmas visitor. It’s magical and everything good that a movie for …

To be frank, 2010 hasn’t been a great year for comedy. Most of the billed “comedy” movies have been stale and unfunny, and the ones that are occasionally funny are better characterized as dramas. While The Other Guys isn’t a cinematic masterpiece, it is the funniest movie of the …

“The Brothers Grimm” was released in 2005 and–at first glance–seemed to be an intelligent take on those stories that many of us grew up hearing about. I had learned, by way of living for several years with a roommate who majored in film, to be skeptical. If I had …

If you’re looking for a really bad black comedy film from the 70s and early 80s, don’t hesitate to watch the 1984 movie The Brother from Another Planet.

This silly little flick of a movie seems to be one of those that people either love, for whatever reason, or hate. It was filmed in 1997 when the Soviet Union no longer existed, but certain fascination with it obviously still did; so the moviemakers invented this Eastern European …
