This film is confusing. No, let me re-phrase - that makes it sound like I am not particularly bright, and the plot got way ahead of me and induced a migraine. Not that I claim to be super intelligent either. But anyway.
This film is confused. It’s a mess of …

Wow. I almost hated to watch this movie again because it’s a heartbreaker, and more than that, it’s a true story. That’s why it rips through me. I remember watching this in 1977. I remember reading about it. I believe it was Parade that did a …

As a bonafide horror buff, I rented Gothika under the impression that anything containing supernatural horror, Penelope Cruz, and Halle Berry-would be nothing less than a thrill. Much to my chagrin, the movie is slightly less than thrilling. Entertaining, yes. Creepy in parts-yes. Thrilling-no. …
