Notorious movie
From 1946, Notorious is a classic movie that has been respected and admired since it was made. It’s a movie of intrigue right from the start. It keeps you on your toes, uncertain of motivations and realities.

Sucker Punch (2011 Film)
Sucker Punch is one of those movies that you have to watch with an open mindset. The jest of this movie, for the most part, isn’t going to come to you quickly. To the plain eye, it looks like a fantasy chick flick with vivid graphics. I can be honest …

13: Game of Death (Movie)

We Own the Night movie
This movie, We Own the Night, is not one I would normally watch under any circumstances were it not for the fact that someone sent it to me. Never turn down a trusted freebie, as I always say. However, it’s crude from the get go, and that’s …

Haunted Mansion (2003)
Honestly, I just find Nathaniel Parker cute that’s why I finished this movie and wishing I had been Marsha Thomason just to snatch that role. Yes, this is a funny movie but I was wondering why Walt Disney Pictures, or anyone else who has been part of making …

Toni Erdmann (2016 film)
2 hours and 42 minutes is a lot of time, and if I am a productive person I would be able to do so much other than just sitting in my comfortable chair watching a german-language movie called “Toni Erdmann”.

I decided to watch “Shooter” because I knew that Mark Wahlberg had the leading role in this film. I really like his acting skills especially after watching him in films such as “The Perfect Storm”, “The Italian Job”, “The Kingdom” and in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed”. I must admit …

Resident Evil: Apocalypse, apocalyptic fiction action horror film
How can I write a review on a movie like this? Resident Evil: Apocalypse almost single handedly ruined the Resident Evil movie franchise. The plot was beyond terrible and the acting was laughable. Milla Jovovich was still looking just as good in this movie, but she couldn’t even save …

Movie: Rambo
Well, I finally got a chance to watch the movie Rambo this past weekend.
