The Fog
I’ve said this before but, when it comes to Horror films, they are either very scary or very dull. Unfortunately for the Fog, it was the latter.
The problem with the Fog is it was just like every other horror film. An evil fog engulfs a small town and ghosts …
Ratatouille
I hate rats so I wasn’t so keen on watching the animated movie Ratatouille. But constant prodding by my bestfriend to see the movie made me give in. Plus the fact that alot of people say it’s a nice movie. Indeed it is. From Pixar Animation Studios and Walt …

Avatar movie 2009
I saw the movie Avatar three times– twice in the theater in 3-D, and once at home in 2-D as a rental. I’d been looking forward to seeing it months before it ever came out. The big question always being: would it live up to all the hype? I …
Vacancy (R, 2007) movie

Drive Movie 2011
What is it with the movie Drive that has taken the movie world by storm? I just saw it two nights ago and I must say, this has truly reminded me of an 80’s genre flick. Just the intro alone, the music, the skyline shot, the dramatic scene of …

The gospel of John (Movie)
Many people said that this movie is boring and that those who think that the movie is very interesting must be lying for the sake of religious reason. Well, as the saying goes, one man’s meat is another poison, and therefore, one man’s poison can also be to the …
Women Are Like That movie

Weird Science
The last time I watched the movie Weird Science, I was 12 years old and, while I understood some of what was going on, I�ll admit most of the stuff was a bit confusing.
So, when I found it on one of my premium movie channels the other day, I …
Cube Zero
Starring:
Zachary Bennett (Erin Wynn), David Huband (Dodd), Stephanie Moore (Cassandra Rains), Michael Riley (Jax)
Watching this show alternately petrified and fascinated me. Imagine seeing your skin flaking off while you are still conscious; or having your hands, legs and everything being sliced off by razor-sharp wires?
Wynn and Dodd were technicians, …

High School Musical 3: Epic Ending
Disney truly has outdone itself this time with “High School Musical 3.” It is a fitting finish to the entire franchise that spawned such fervor in the preteen/high-schooler-wannabe population, and I am very pleased with the ending. The theaters were packed with people of all ages to see the …
The Final Destination 3D
I did not like this movie. This is the first 3D movie I have seen in years and I regret going to it. This movie is horrible compared to all the others. I had expected more.

Ghostrider
I watched “Ghostrider” with my nephew this afternoon. I had really hoped it would live up to the hype, unfortunately I didn’t think it did.

Kissed (R, 1996) movie
This was one of those films that was completely missed by the mainstream. The subject of necrophilia is quite a tricky one. But somehow the director of this film found a way to introduce the topic with not just sensitivity (is that even possible?) but …
The King of the Apes movie
An old chinese animated film about the king of the apes who rebels against the Gods to claim the throne of Jade.
The film was made in 1965, and only that is worth some extra credit, not least of all because it was made in China that aren’t really known …
Washington Square movie
This is a remake of the 1949 classic titled “The Heiress,” starring Olivia de Havilland. While the original is hard to beat, the remake is actually not too bad. Of course, there are some rather questionable additions and a definite feminist touch, but what else can you expect from …

Saw IV movie
I wasn’t a big fan of the Saw movies when they first came out but they eventually grew on me. However, after watching Saw IV, I have to say it’s time to bring the franchise to an end.

Vacancy movie
What a messed up movie. The NRA should seriously show this to far left people who want to get as close to repealing the Second Amendment as humanly possible as it’s situations like this where having a gun would be really good.
This isn’t a political piece by any …
The Producers movie
Have you ever thought about producing a Broadway musical? Then the remake of the Mel Brooks classic is a great movie for you.
