The Possession (horror movie)
I love supernatural horror movies, but for some reason I can’t seem to get enough of them. The slasher movies and those horror movies that have a lot more gore in them seem to be what’s popular now. Those few with a religious or supernatural theme that I love so …
Cape Fear
I think Robert De Niro did a great job in the movie Cape Fear. I really like Cape Fear because it’s a different type of horror. This movie is not about ghosts or monsters, but it is instead about a prison inmate named Max that wants revenge. He was sent …

Skyfall Movie
Skyfall is the latest and greatest James Bond 007 film, and while I admit I have never seen a James Bond film before, I absolutely loved Skyfall! It is action-packed, funny, and thrilling, and it had the entire theater at the edge of their seats. I absolutely loved Skyfall, …
Rambo, First Blood Part 3 movie
I generally liked the Rambo films when they came out. The third installment, however, was one too many for a franchise that was otherwise really good.

Hearts in Atlantis (2001)
Based on a short story by horror fiction writer Stephen King, “Hearts of Atlantis” is an interesting, sensitive movie.

Twilight
OK, either I’m starting to get really old or the movie Twilight wasn’t anything that lived up to all the hype and the obsession the fans are giving it. I watched it last night and thought it was the longest, most boring vampire film I’ve ever seen. And, believe …

The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is definitely the scariest movie I’ve ever seen in my life and that’s saying alot because I don’t get easily scared by horror movies. I know in my mind that horror movies that feature monsters like Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street and …
Borat film

This is one of my favorite Hal Hartley films. Brave, daring narrative and visual style, an engaging story focused on human dignity and about the coolest soundtrack ever makes this one of Hartley’s prime works, and also places him in the rare group of interesting american filmmakers the last …
Rose Red (2002 Rilm)

With some great animation movies like Frozen, Smurfs 2 and Despicable Me 2 releasing in the same year, the question is: Is Free Birds worth your time and Money? Fortunately, the answer is yes!
Free Birds is an outstanding Animation, Comedy and Adventure movie, filled with great excitement and funny …
The Interpreter
I define “The Interpreter” as one of the best thriller’s of our time coming out from Hollywood. Without any doubt the director, Sydney Pollack has managed to include another successful movie to his chain of great movies, such as “Havana”, “The Firm”, “Out of Africa”, “Tootsie” and “Absence of …
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane Movie
This movie is quite interesting since I’ve seen it several times shown on tv but haven’t really watched it. I’ve recently just watched the movie Never Back Down and it features the same girl here which is Amber Heard. She’s really pretty and wholesome and when I saw her …

Outcast, Movie
There is no denying Nic Cage’s indefatigable work ethic, although even his staunchest fans must concede that some of his performances are at best, curiosities, to be enjoyed much in the same way that people would regard bearded ladies in the Victorian Freak Shows of times past.
This film …
The Water Diviner, Movie
The opening titles say The Water Diviner is inspired by true events, but Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, despite appearances, is fairly liberal with the truth. Taking their queue from a single line written in a Lt. Colonel Cyril Hughes’ letter, about an Australian father who ventured to Turkey in …
Ocean’s Twelve
I am a big fan of all of the Ocean’s movies. That being said I believe that Ocean’s Twelve is the weakest of the three. First, the good things. The acting once again is amazing. The movie features tons of stars and they do not …
