Betrayal movie

Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie
When I watch the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, I am absolutely amazed with the quality of the film, considering it was made almost 3 decades ago.

My Best Friend’s Wedding

Imagine That movie
I had an early sneak preview of this movie. This is a great movie for the whole family. Eddie Murphy is real good about delivering movies that inspire the whole family, and sometimes teaches us valuable lessons.

Out movie
Out, aka: Deadly Drifter, from 1982 is, well, strange. I’m not even sure how to describe the plot, if there was a plot. This collection of scenes had a unique start in how the title was present, and I give it points for that. However, considering …

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I’m not usually a huge fan of romantic comedies. They’re OK but I get bored with them quickly because they usually have the same basic plot.
However, I have to say, after watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I did find myself entertained throughout.
The good thing about this movie is it offers …
