Movie: Iron Man 2

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010): movie

Movie the Number 23
The movie the number 23 is a Jim Carrey film but it is very unlike his other films. This is my favorite of his films because he actually acts in it. Normally he over acts and gets a lot of mileage from facial expressions and acting like …

Death Proof

Just My Luck movie

“The Tale of Despereaux” (2008 Film)
The 2008 animated, family film, “The Tale of Despereaux” was filled with adorable characters and a story line that is fun and heartwarming for the entire family. If you have not yet seen this film, then I strongly urge, no matter what your age is, that you plan on …
Make It Happen
I watched a movie with a friend, he was so excited about Make it Happen, a movie similar and is actually from the same creators of “Step Up”. Well the movie is really simple, I feel it does need a little more depth in it, I have totally wasted …

This was an excellent drama starring Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett, in roles that are quite different than anything else I have seen either of them in.

Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016 Drama-War Film)
At the beginning of the year, I immediately told my friends that my most anticipated 2016 film was Ang Lee’s new feature called “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk”. That didn’t changed until I found out the “Whiplash”-creator Damien Chazelle announced he has a new film coming out in December called …
Hot Pursuit (comedy movie)
Although I’d heard beforehand that the movie wasn’t very good, I was still determined to watch Hot Pursuit . At the time I’d wanted something fairly lightweight that I could enjoy without thinking too much. It turns out that while it was the type of movie I was looking for, …

Thir13een Ghosts (2001)

Untraceable Movie
I thoroughly enjoyed Untraceable even though the reviews I read were poor at best. There were a few major problems I had with the movie, but given the cast and the overall plot line, it was something that I could actually get interested in. I usually let a movie …

Cube Zero

Zachary Bennett (Erin Wynn), David Huband (Dodd), Stephanie Moore (Cassandra Rains), Michael Riley (Jax)

Wynn and Dodd were technicians, …

I watched Shakespeare in Love on a whim, after seeing the trailer I thought it was a very well convincing trailer and that I should give it a watch. Well it exceeded all my expectations; I thought it would either be campy and cheesy, or dry and emotionally heavy. …
