Normally, when I watch a thriller, I find myself getting a bit bored at some point. After all, the thrills part of it will only last so long.

Notes on a Scandal
I didn’t quite know what to expect with this one. Cate Blanchett is one of my favorite actresses, capable of assuming all sorts of roles. Her role as a pedophile (essentially), teacher having an affair with one of her students was rather shocking. But …
The Stepford Wives Movie
When I was younger, I read Ira Levin’s “The Stepford Wives” in its original novel form. I found the entire concept of these too-perfect housewives and this picture-perfect town to be very creepy, in a really fun, dark sort of way. So I was rather excited when “The Stepford …
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
The best way to describe this movie is a cute teenager movie with a humoristic twist. ‘Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging’ is about 14 year old Georgia Nicholson (Georgia Groome) who simply isn’t happy with her life. She dreams of having a boyfriend and thinks that she found the …

Vampires Suck (Movie, 2010)

Change of Habit movie

Ray Alexander: A Menu for Murder movie

Quentin Tarantino takes a different route than usual with his third cinematic outing. His trademark humour and dialogue is still there, but things are a lot more casual and linear than his previous efforts.

See No Evil (R, 2006) movie

Movie Knowing
I saw the movie Knowing last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after Raising Arizona. The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …
