Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016 Adventure Comedy-Drama Film)
Some films even if they are not really masterpieces nor a revelation of filmmaking, are still so well made that you can’t actually see a single fault in it. Films like last year’s Brooklyn or this year’s Sing Street are examples of it. Nothing groundbreaking about those two films mentioned …

Kalifornia, movie (1993)

Vertigo
I will never get bored watching this classic movie cum thriller romance called Vertigo. There is something hauntingly chilling but at the same time giving a nice feeling of romance after my each time watching this movie. Alfred Hitchcock was a real genius and it’s kind of sad …

Murder on the 13th Floor (movie)

The Bourne Ultimatum

Deep Impact (1998)
Deep Impact is, yes, one of those catastrophy-blockbusters dealing with the subject of an asteroid hitting the Earth, and the way humanity tries to deal with it. All in all, it is a mediocre film, but in a way it did catch my attention. I think there’s much more …

Space Camp
If you read the description on the back of the box, the movie Space Camp probably will sound like something so far fetched it isn’t worth watching. But, resist that desire to put it back on the shelf and rent it anyway.
Of all the 80s science fiction films to …
Girl Interrupted
I didn’t watch the movie Girl Interrupted because I wanted to. I watched it because my wife insisted on seeing it. While I won’t go as far as to say I hated the movie, it definitely isn’t one I was all that interested in watching.

Captain America movie
When I first heard about the Captain America movie, my first thought was, “How can Chris Evans be The Human Torch AND Captain America?” Is the smooth-talking wise-cracking lady’s man really the right person to be playing the man who fights for truth, justice, and the American way? Director …

When Steve Martin re-did the Pink Panther movie, I thought his performance was actually better than the original. But, that wasn’t the only movie I can say that about.
