Prom Night (2008), slasher film
There is nothing as scary as J.S. Cardone’s remake of the classic 1980 horror film, Prom Night. A modern scary film that advertised itself as one of the best remakes of our time is about as dull as your real prom. Can the unrated blu-ray version of this film …

I actually found the movie “Copying Beethoven” by accident as I had confused it with another movie I had seen years earlier and was searching high and low for a very long time. As soon as I saw the movie begin, I realised that it was not the movie …
Vexille, CGI anime film
I applaud Vexille for taking a different direction in its CG animation, but the lack of characterization and story really hurt it in the long run.

Dickinson Eastglen 16 movie theater, Lee’s Summit, MO

Norbit
When I first watched the movie Norbit, in the theater, I wasn’t really impressed by it. However, after watching it again last night, I have to admit I found it a lot better on DVD.

Julie & Julia film
While watching this film, I was thinking that someone really interested in cooking could probably enjoy it more than me, since the film it’s mostly about good food, cooking as a hobby, or cooking as a passion. It might make you want to cook, or try the recipes. However, …

United 93 movie
“United 93″ is a movie about 9/11. Depend on what is left in the cockpit’s tape, the editor tried as hard as he could to put what really happened in United 93 into the screen. Passengers are stranger to each other when they get into the plane. They stand …
