28 Weeks Later The Movie
Another zombie movie that has its mind boggling puzzle on how it started because nobody explained what really happened as the movie started when the virus has been contained and has spread through out the land.
I just don’t understand why they needed to repopulate when in fact nothing in …
Ghost World (drama movie)
Ghost World was one of those films that I was always hearing good things about but never really took the chance to watch. I never read the graphic novel either, so I couldn’t have given you the first clue about what what it was supposed to be like, although I …

Star Trek (2009)
Although I enjoyed seeing the new Star Trek movie, I have to say that the writers really dropped the ball with the script and some of the characterizations. The story was quite poor and not very interesting at all, and it seemed as if the story was written around …

I hadn’t seen Dreamscape in a while so, when given the opportunity to watch it last night, I made every effort. And, I have to say, the movie is as good as I remember it.

Yes, I have watched Buried, a Ryan Reynolds movie directed by Rodrigo Cortés. And yes, I have watched all of it- from the very beginning to the very end. Now, if this statement sounds a bit unusual, this is why: I would never in a million years watch a …

An American Christmas Carol (1979). a movie
Normally, I don’t appreciate it when classic stories are being messed with, modernized, turned into musicals, etc. However, this attempt to Americanize the beloved Christmas story by Charles Dickens somehow turned out all right.
