Winter’s Bone movie
Winter’s Bone may depress you from the first footage. You see children happy and unaware of the dirt that surrounds them and in all this time their big sister “streamlines” their potato ratios.

The Hunger Games (movie)
One of the films that I remember underestimating the most last year was the movie “The Hunger Games”. When I saw the trailer first, a part of me expected that it was going to be a lot like the Twilight franchise, which I hated, since I noticed at the …
Transformers, The Movie
It’s hard to say who was more excited about this movie when the news first hit the floor. All the sugar charged ten-year-old boys who really just wanted to see some big robots blow stuff up, or the generations of baby boomers who remember it from when they …
Movie Bruno
This movie was hilarious, definitely a must see! Sacha Baron Cohen from Borat is back as Bruno for yet another epic comedy! Many people are completely against it, but what can you expect with a movie about a homosexual fashion oriented male? Many oppose it just on the basis …

Once again, a movie I’ve never even heard about before turned out to be a pretty good thriller for our weekly movie night.

I could not miss this second instalment of Madagascar for the world as I had simply loved the first one. I caught this with my cousin and went with a high expectation, especially after the fantastic part 1. After all, the trailers for part 2 was also equally impressive …

Stranger than Fiction
When we rented the movie Stranger than Fiction, we expected to get a great comedy. After all, you can’t go wrong with Will Ferrell. Unfortunately, in this case, we did.

Stand By Me (1986 Classic Coming-of-Age Film)
I was definitely too excited to watch this movie. My fellow film buffs has suggested this to me because I have a special thing for coming-of-age films. Perhaps it is because I am 19 and the idea of growing up still fascinates me. What I was expecting before I saw …
Before sunset - staring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy
My boyfriend and I recently watched the 2004 film Before Sunset starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Although the film was a little slow going, we really enjoyed it. I suppose you’d describe it as romantic comedy. Julie Delpy is brilliant. We also saw her …
Movie: Alice in Wonderland
Let’s see, Tim Burton directing and Johnny Depp starring. There is absolutely no way the movie Alice in Wonderland would suck.
Wow was I wrong about that.
I didn’t see this movie in the theater for a few reasons and, after seeing it this past weekend, I honestly am glad I …
Veggie Tales: Wonderful Wizard of Ha’s
If there’s any question about the Veggie Tales movie “Wonderful Wizard of Ha’s” and how good it is, I want you to keep this in mind. We picked it up for my daughter through Netflix three weeks ago. She has watched it 2-3 times each day since that date …

In the first place, Prom Night is a not a funny and romantic comedy about a high-school prom night filled with friends and love. Yes, the movie is filled with friends, to be exact the character Donna’s friends, but this movie is all scary and a thriller! …

18 Year Old Virgin movie
Yeah, I should have expected as much. I decided to watch the movie 18-year-old Virgin in the hopes that maybe it would be a surprise “American Pie” like movie. Instead, it was a piece of garbage that wasn’t much more than a really bad porn film.
The movie has an …
Silkwood movie
1983’s Silkwood is a powerful story. It’s also a true story which makes it tremendously poignant and meaningful. It’s also a story with an uncertain ending, even to this day.
This is the story of Karen Silkwood, a young woman who worked at a nuclear plant and realized …
The Death And Life Of Bobby Z
I love Paul Walker very much. And in this movie, The Death And Life Of Bobby Z that he acted which I’ve watched like 2 times, the storyline ain’t that bad.

Movie: Night of the Comet

Planet Terror
Planet Terror from Grindhouse is certanly a movie worth watching. personally i liked it much more than the romero version of zombies, even though you can’t really consider those creatures zombies in Planet Terror.

Killing Them Softly, crime film
Killing them softly is a crime film that takes the genre completely to another level. The characters and cinematography is top notch however, I found the story to be a bit on the weaker side.
Talking about camera-work, this mob film sure is a breath of fresh air. The joint-smoking …
Koyaanisqatsi movie
This is the first avant garde film from Godfrey Reggio that uses a completely unique narrative based on the rythm between images and music. Or actually, it isn’t completely unique, but I believe Koyaanisqatsi was the first full feature film to be created like this and certainly the most …
Billy Madison (1995)
Billy Madison is one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies. It is incredibly funny to watch, and it has you laughing the entire time. The movie was made for people who laugh at corny jokes. If you are not one of those people, you will not like the movie.
Billy …
Thr3e
This movie was definitely one of those that I will have to watch twice to figure out where they got one over on me. I enjoyed the movie and was really happy to see Marc Blucas, the former Riley on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the ending was …
My Cousin Vinny
One of my favorite movies of all times has to be “My Cousin Vinny.” For anyone who has not seen this movie since it came out in 1992, give it a try. You will find yourself laughing through most of the movie.

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus movie 2009
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus was one very interesting movie for several reasons. One, the story line is unique, but complex and hard to follow, requiring more than just casual attention. Heath Ledger starred in this film—“ and died during the production. Rather than scrap the …
