One of the things I …

Ah the classic, “I love you, just not like that,” or “We’re just friends” lines. Who hasn’t said, or heard, one of those? We’ve all been the victims of unrequited love. This movie takes this natural occurance to a new and hilarious level.
Ryan Reynolds, as usual, plays an absolutely …

I saw this more of an experiment to see if Jim Carrey could take on a serious role instead of his usual funny guy characters. I would have to say it was pretty failed in this movie. The concept was good but it just didn’t seem to follow through …

Panned by critics upon release, and still without a Director’s Cut to see the light of day, I think The 13th Warrior is an overlooked gem much deserving of your attention. It was supposed to be an epically scaled historical adventure based on Michael Crichton’s book The Eaters of the …

We watched this classic last week and were in awe of the production, acting and story line. Jean Cocteau directed Beauty and the Beast in 1947, so you know the movie is worth viewing. Filmed in black and white, spoken in French (but has English subtitles) with the best …

By all accounts, ‘Revenge of the Fallen’ should have marked the end of the live action ‘Transformers’ franchise. That movie was outright terrible. Critics hated, fans hated it, it still stands as one of the worst movies you will ever have the displeasure of sitting through. …
