Shooting straight of the gate, this movie had very big shoes to fill when everyone expected it to live up to the expectations of the first film. Sadly, this movie fell short of it mark with critics and the public.

Dracula Untold is a dark fantasy action film that deals with the origins of Count Dracula, the famous character from Brom Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula. This movie is laced with action and bits of horror throughout. It’s not a perfect movie but as far as action movies go, it pays …

This is not your ordinary horror film. Based on some pretty heavy Biblical references, if you are not into supernatural themes, you will get really bored with this one. That being said, Hilary Swank gives a believable performance in this thriller. This isn’t the type of …

I did a free trial from netflix a while ago and I also did it a free trial for my cousin not to long ago. The movies took forever to get to me and her both. They are also a little more money than blockbuster. You also can’t take …

Match Point is not like you typical Woody Allen film. Usually his movies are filled with intelligent snarky humor and strange situations. This movie, while filmed in a bright and airy way, was really quite dark. What I liked in particular was my ability …

Dziga Vertov’s documentary-like film from the 1920s has been acclaimed as one of the greatest masterpieces of all time, and I can do nothing but agree to that. Vertov’s uses his camera in such imaginary ways, showing the people of Moscow through every possible angle and style. He wanted …

This mini-series drew me in right away, probably because of the international aspect of the story. I like movies that offer insight into different cultures, and this is one of them. The story takes place in India, focusing on a British boy Ashton and an Indian princess Anjuli. They …

This movie though features only one type of fictional aliens, the reptilian like creatures that somehow resembles humans but only wearing a thick scaly skin and a tail of a dinosaur …

New Girl, New School, New Clique…you get the point. It’s another one of those chick flicks. “Mean Girls” is a fun watch with many of the stereotypical cliches, but it brings them to life with a capable cast of Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Tina Fey.
I can’t exactly …
