Reptilicus movie
A most bizarre danish science fiction b-movie from the 1960s. A terrible monster seems to appear out of nowhere and starts terrorising people. The military sees no way of getting rid of the creature and is getting more and more desperate.
This could indeed be the very definition of a …
Awake (R, 2007)
I am definitely not a huge Jessica Alba fan. But I wanted to see this movie mainly because I was unsure how the director would put a spin on �anesthetic awareness��a condition that causes people undergoing surgery to feel pain and be conscious, but unable to move …
The Shepard Border Patrol
I admit that I haven’t watched a lot of Jean Claude Van Damme’s movies. If I have to see a bunch of men jumping, kicking and screaming, I choose to see it through a comic aspect, so I go for a Jackie Chen movie. I broke my rule for …
Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire
With the next movie franchise coming out soon, I decided to update myself on the Harry Potter series. Sadly though, I was not as fascinated as I should be with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I loved the book, mind you, but I hated the movie. First …

Pet Sematary

The Time Traveler’s Wife (A Movie )

Talladega Nights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
I watched Talladega nights on opening night and every show we tried to find was sold out but we finally managed to find tickets to a show that eventually sold out as well. Talladega nights is probably the funniest movie of the year. Will Ferrel is close to the …

Live Free or Die Hard
There are movies that make you say, “that was good.” There are movies that make you say, “wow.” However there are very few movies that make you say, “Wow, that was good.” That’s exactly what I said when I finished watching Live Free or Die Hard. The movie follows …
Zhang Yimou’s 1991 film “Raise the Red Lantern”
I’m as accustomed to Western cinema as the next person; the majority of films I watch are either American or English-language international productions, which means that I’m used to certain styles of storytelling, not to mention cultural codes and stereotypes. Therefore, for me to enjoy a film made outside …

Movie: Christmas with the Kranks

Inherit the Wind
At the heart of this film is a powerful controversy, one that still inspires heated debates today. On trial in this movie is not just a teacher’s right to teach certain subjects, but our right as American citizens to freedom of speech and freedom of choice.

Newsies movie
I first saw the movie Newsies when I was in high school as part of my chorus class. Ever since seeing the movie for the first time, I can’t go a year without needing to rent it again.
Overall, the movie probably isn’t the best musical out there. But, it’s …

MosquitoMan (2004)
This movie was much better than I expected it to be. Don’t let the corny name or the image on the DVD case’s cover stop you from watching this fun horror film. And if you’re thinking it’s a bit similar to “The Fly”, you’re right. It’s a more modern …

Green Room (2016 horror film)
After watching The Witch last month, my anticipation in watching horror films grew more and more, not because I thought The Witch was a good film but because I realized, not all horrors are scary anyway. The Witch was very lackluster in providing the thrills, “relying on just the visuals …
Janie Jones movie
