A Doll’s House (1973)
I like movies based on plays, they usually have more depth to them. A Doll�s House, 1973, starring Anthony Hopkins and Claire Bloom, is one such movie. Action fans will probably find it slow and boring, but I enjoyed the excellent performance by both leading actors. The story takes …
Premonition
I can’t help comparing Premonition to another Sandra Bullock’s movie, also a recent one, called The Lake House. Both movies have a fantastic twist to them, dealing with different timelines. Both need to be watched very closely in order not to have the two timelines confused. In both movies, …

Dead Mary (UR, 2006) movie

From imitation and its popularity among film scholars and horror buffs, Psycho has no more surprises left —“ that’s a given.

Signs (movie)
The director of this movie, M. Night Shyamalan, first gained critical acclaim with his psychological thriller with The Sixth Sense. While I agree that was a very good movie, I believe Signs to be the stronger of the two. This movie would probably go on my top …

Freaky Friday (2003 Disney Movie)

The Game Plan movie

Death Race, science fiction action thriller film
Paul W.S. Anderson’s decision to make a movie based on the 1975 film Death Race 2000 was a strange one. Anderson’s track record isn’t the best one out their, but with the bad advertising this film got you can’t completely blame him. Now that Death Race is on DVD …
Transformers: Age of extinction (2014)
Finally, in midst of all its criticism, I watched Transformers: Age of Extinction. It is nothing but a visual bombardment from Michael Bay, with a poor script. It starred Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor.

Ride the Wild Surf movie
From 1964, Ride the Wild Surf is one overly melodramatic movie that tried to capitalize on the beach picture craze. About the only thing it has going for it is a great cast, at least as far as bikini and surf pictures of the 60’s go. Fabian, …
The Woman In Black Movie
