Movie: “Stephen King’s It” (1990)
Having read the book multiple times, I was horribly disappointed with the two-part miniseries “It”, aired in 1990 on ABC. There was so much left out; I can’t believe Mr. King even allowed it to be produced.
The plot of the mini-series only loosely follows the plot of the original …

The Omnimax Theater

Batman Returns 1992 Movie

Ouija, Horror Movie (2014)
Despite the pre-release hype, Ouija didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s intended to be a horror movie but it’s weakened by a terrible cast and paltry directing.

Rick O’Connell is back but this time, without his original lady love “Edie” (Rachel Weisz) I had mixed emotions regarding this latest installment. While I love Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, I feel that they should not have made another one. In any case, this is my review:
