Johnny English (2003)
Rowan Atkinson’s reputation as a comedy actor is still as good as ever. What I can say about this movie is that it’s got good casting. They got John Malkovich on board. His French accented English is ridiculous but I think that’s more like it when …
Bury me in Niagara (movie)
Out of the many movies that I’ve seen over my lifetime, this is one of those that stands out because of how it frightened me when I watched it one Sunday when I was still a fairly young child. I remember how strange the entire thing was too because …

Vampires: The Turning movie
There is a good reason behind why I find it hard to like many of John Carpenter’s movies. I find that most of them are mediocre with inferior acting, terrible makeup, a silly plot, and even sillier script and so on. Thus, like many of John Carpenter’s movies, “Vampires: …

Nature vs. Nurture
Originality is not one of the strong suits of the minds behind Tripping the Rift. The show is on the whole of it nothing more than a fairly uninspired riff on everything that has come to be considered part of science fiction over the last 100 or so …

A few nights ago my husband and I settled in to watch Half Nelson. I had never seen it or heard of it before so I figured that it was probably not that good of a movie. However my husband really wanted to watch it so I decided to …
Tenacious D (movie)

Funny Games movie
A highly provocative film by the german controversial filmmaker Michael Haneke. This director keeps shocking the audience with his unpredictable narratives, which aren’t necessarily showing much of violence, but in a way Haneke challenges the viewers and shows no compassion for his characters. In Funny Games we see two …

Coraline (animation movie)
Coraline is a 2009 animation, fantasy and thriller movie directed by Henry Selick. This animation movie wasn’t a computer generated animation movie that I usually love to watch. Though, this movie proved to be a complete surprise for me. I guess I didn’t watched any of the animation movies …
Monsters Movie (2010)
I just saw the movie Monsters last night and I don’t really quite know how to categorize it. I cannot put it in bad movie file, but then I cannot recommend to watch it. I can’t even quite tell if I can enjoyed it. The feeling this movie has …
In Too Deep movie
I like Omar Epps in his reoccurring role on the show “House” but I’m not convinced he is a good Hollywood actor, capable of carrying a movie when asked.
A good example is the film In Too Deep. Epps stars in the movie and does a decent job as a …

Gore maestro Tom Savani takes over directorial duties in this remake of Romero’s classic zombie movie.

The Uninvited - Suspense thriller

The Death of Stalin, movie (2017)
I watched the acclaimed film The Death of Stalin. What can I say? A good comedy, similar to Monty Python’s work - in some places absurdist humor that makes the film funny in the best sense of the word.
