Re-Animator movie
The cult favorite among many people is a very gore-filled comedy about a young medicine student who gets involved in the most horrific way of making dead bodies come back to life. The film is very bizarre and the violence just seem to pop out of nowhere, just like …
Big Fish (movie)
One of my favourite movies up to a certain point in my life was the movie called “Big Fish”. The whole idea of it being my favourite was a little odd too, since I don’t think that I was able to watch it more than about three times whether …

If you enjoy watching a movie that makes you really think were the story is going, then you must watch Robert De Niro’s movie “The Good Shepard”. I knew that this movie was about the CIA, however for the first half an hour I was completely lost on what …

Early on, Crocker meets Karen (Jill …
Robots (2005 movie)
Robots is a nice kids’ movie. There isn’t really a better or more accurate adjective. The animation is great and smooth, perhaps better than previous movies (although in the intervening 5 years since 2005, a lot has been done in computer animation). The characters and voices are good and …
27 Dresses
Watching feel good and light story movies does make someone feel better, and often times feel good about themselves. I think 27 Dresses did that to me. Katherine Heigl is wonderful in her role and being the “always” bridesmaids suits her. With all the glamour and stuffs she has …

The Stepford Wives Movie
When I was younger, I read Ira Levin’s “The Stepford Wives” in its original novel form. I found the entire concept of these too-perfect housewives and this picture-perfect town to be very creepy, in a really fun, dark sort of way. So I was rather excited when “The Stepford …

Be Kind Rewind movie
