Pretty Persuasion (R, 2005)
I didn’t know what to think at first about this really quirky film. I knew that starring Evan Rachel Wood in the lead role, there would be something avante garde about the subject matter. IN this movie, she portrays a young high schooler named Kimberly, who ropes …
The Longest Day
Arguably, the best war film ever to be made. I believe it was filmed in 1962. Big names like, John Wayne, Richard Burton and Sean Connery to name a few, starred in this black & white movie.
What intrigued me the most about this flick was that the Americans/British spoke …
The Happening movie
I had heard nothing but bad things about this movie. I jokingly suggested to my roommate that we rent it, he took me seriously and added it to our netflix queue. I was truly expecting “Batman and Robin” or “Catwoman” levels of bad. Truthfully, it’s not …

Only Lovers Left Alive (movie)
As I mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of the actor Tom Hiddleston, not just because of his acting, but because I think he’s just downright handsome and charming. I remember that a little after the “Avengers” movie I began to wonder what other future projects he might have, …

Broken Bridges movie
“Broken Bridges” has a good story with great potential in attracting a great audience, however something along the line failed. The acting is awful, the filming and editing is sadly not good enough and the sound of this movie is terrible! In other words, this movie sucks!
Why did I …

No Smoking Movie
I checked out “No Smoking” first day, first show with big expectation from a promising star cast and a promising director. I don’t no what went wrong with director Anurag Kashyap for making such a bad movie.
The story, what should I say, is baseless. Even after two hours …

What could have been a major masterpiece by Orson Welles was severely cut down by the production company as they thought it was “too boring” and to mr Welles’ devastation he found yet another of his works butchered and lost forever. It was the exactly same thing with The …
Real Mean
I have seen John Ritter quite a few times on television but never took the time to watch one of his movies. That changed this past weekend when I watched his film Real Men. And, I have to say, I was very impressed.
First off, I want to say that, …

Movie: The Devil’s Brigade
This weekend was the first time I have seen the movie The Devil’s Brigade; though I had heard of it and it has been on TV a few times in the past year or so.
Overall, it was an OK movie with plenty of action.

The Killer Shrews
This is an older black and white horror movie. I’m unsure what year it was made, as I couldn’t find that information on the DVD box. It had the look of the 1950s or the 1960s to it, so it may be from one of those eras. I had …
No Country For Old Men
This is the first movie, in my opinion, since the Lord of the Rings Trilogy that will remain a classic for decades to come. There are not enough superlatives to describe this movie. Everything, EVERYTHING, is flawless in my eyes. The acting in unreal. The …
One missed call movie

Devour Movie (2005)
When I saw Jensen Ackles in this movie, I immediately wanted to watch it as he’s really a great actor in Supernatural and he’s one of my favorites. This movie is a horror/suspense movie and it’s actually quite disappointing; the only compensation is that the actor is handsome and …
Gladiator movie

Fright Night
It’s sometimes amazing how you can watch a movie when you�re younger and think it�s scary but, when you watch the same movie several years later, you aren’t frightened at all.
The movie Fright Night is like this.
When I first watched Fright Night, I was a pre-teen and I thought …
Big Hero 6 (Movie)
I keep seeing pictures of this movie in several sites I’ve been surfing and I got curious. Since this movie is from Disney, I didn’t expect it to be a ‘Hero story’. But they did a good job.

Mirrors film
MIRRORS starring Kiefer Sutherland, Paula Patton, Cameron Boyce, Erica Gluck, Amy Smart, Mary Beth Peil, John Shrapnel and Jason Flemyng was a great movie. I do not know if I should classify it as a horror, thriller or suspense movie, but I can classify it as a must see …
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
This latest installment of the Indiana Jones series is my least favorite because of several things. It’s not as fun and entertaining; Harrison Ford as Henry “Indiana” Jones is no longer as hot as he was in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark”; and I don’t like the story …

Dance with the Devil (UR, 1997)
I wasn’t going to rent this movie at first since it was a little old. But since I really like both Javier Bardem and Rosie Perez, I thought the film was worth a try. Boy was I wrong. It’s supposed to be a dark comedy. …
Once (2007 Musical Film)
I have seen plenty of musical films that take the generic route but not this one, the music is the real heart of this movie. The characters and the plot revolves around the idea of making good songs that will move the audiences without asking them.

The Christmas Wish (2003 DVD)

Recently we saw that our local library had a Christmas movie that …
