The Transporter
“The Transporter” movie was released when I was still in high school. I believe I was about fourteen years old at the time, and had to listen to most of my friends talking about it as many of them thought the movie was exciting and adrenaline filled. I found …
Throne of Blood movie
Akira Kurosawa’s depiction of the classic Shakespeare play Macbeth moved to a japanese environment. Apparently Kurosawa was very clear on that fact that he wanted to make Throne of Blood a japanese film, and that the audience was supposed to feel the Shakespeare story was only in the background. …

Haunted Echoes movie 2008
I rented Haunted Echoes because I love a good ghost story, and I noticed that Sean Young starred in it, a favorite actress from Blade Runner in the early 80’s that I don’t think I have seen too often in anything since. She is still lovely. This film was …
Here Comes the Boom (movie)
One of the movies that I realised that I underrated the most earlier on in the year was the one that went by the same name of a POD song called “Here Comes the Boom”. One of the reasons why I didn’t even consider watching it at the time …
Adaptation-movie
The much acclaimed american screenwriter Charlie Kaufman here works together with the former music video director Spike Jonze for the second time. It’s a very complicated story in the centre of which Kaufman himself appears (and his evil twin brother!), played brilliantly by Nicholas Cage. He tries to write …
Norbit movie
Norbit was advertised as a “family film”. At least that’s what i got from the commercials. Right from the beginning, the movie throws completely crude one liners. While I found them absolutely hillarious as an adult, i found it a little inappropriate for the children in …
The Amityville Horror (1979), movie
The original tale of the Amityville horror is one of the best haunted house movies around, and it’s a personal favorite because it manages to pull off a great scare without useless killings and excessive blood. This is the type of movie that reminds us all, how horror movies …

I think this is probably one of the most classic movies that Disney ever put out. It’s a very good movie and a very good story. My sister used to love to watch this movie. She still watches it just not as much anymore. Almost everyone has seen this …
Parents movie
Parents is a very old scary movie. But by todays standards it’s looked upon as a comedy instead of a horror movie. It’s a very dark yet funny movie. I guess that is why it’s called a dark comedy. But when I watched this film as a kid, I thought …

The Hound of the Baskervilles movie
Jeremy Brett in the role as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as dr Watson. This is a tv produced film that preceded the very popular series, and Jeremy Brett is in my opinion the best actor to appear as the mastermind next to Basil Rathbone (of course).

King adaptations are hit or miss. You have classics like “The Shining” or “Misery” and you have stinkers like “The Sleepwalkers” or “Tommyknockers”. There are also movies that fall between and all across the cinematic quality spectrum.

Avengers: Age of Ultron - Superhero Movie (2015)
Being a big Marvel fan, and having loved ‘The Avengers’ movie of 2012, I had high expectations for its sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron. While the movie was watchable, I was let down by a seemingly weak story line and lost acting. I wasn’t satisfied with the movie and I …

Bone Sickness, Horror film
I might have gotten to the point in my life where zombie movies just don’t excite me anymore. Take this one, Bone Sickness, a zombie movie that might have been shot with a betamax camcorder. I have no beef with low budget movies but Bone Sickness really doesn’t do …
