Argo (2012 Oscar-Winning Thriller Film)
Ever since watching Alfonso Cuaron’s highly-acclaimed suspense space film “Gravity” in cinemas, I have searched my way into watching more suspense/thriller films. I love the rush feeling of my heartbeat as I see protagonists trying to survive.
Argo was that kind of film. The first time I watched the movie (2 …

It Runs in the Family (2003)
The movie is starring Kirk and Michael Douglas, as well as Cameron Douglas. This movie was more of a family reunion for the actors themselves, rather than entertainment or movie of great value. Despite all the publicity and the positive exposure, in my experience, it is one hard-to-watch …
Throw Mama from the Train (1987)
One of my favorite VHS tapes (yes, I am over 50 and therefore behind the times) is “Throw Mama from the Train”. Despite the horrid title, this really is a good adult movie. In fact, I might even go out and buy it on DVD, since tapes …

The Nun’s Story: A Film by Fred Zinnemann (1959)

Streetfighter (movie)
What can I say Streetfighter is probably one of the worst movies based on a video game ever made. This movie tried to use the star power of Jean-Claude Van Damme but not even that was able to save the movie. The probably with Streetfighter was that the people who …
