Frankenstein, 1931 movie
Loosely based on the novel by Mary Shelley, this classic horror movie is perhaps one of the better known adaptations.

You, John Jones!
You, John Jones! is a great little film short with a stellar cast. James Cagney appears as John Jones with Ann Sothern as his wife and Margaret O’Brien as his daughter. O’Brien is just adorable and so passionate and intense as she recites a patriotic piece.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
I saw trailer of the fifth part of Harry Potter on HBO, very impressive and attractive. But I watched it and it was disappointed. Everything happened so fast. If you didn’t read the novel Harry Potter and The order of the Pheonix before watching the film, you can not …
A Scanner Darkly [movie]
I just went to see the film “A Scanner Darkly” and I thought it was brilliant. The story is a cautionary tale about drug addiction. As such, it deals with a lot of material not appropriate for children, but could also be considered an important film for youth and …
Blood Diamond (R, 2006) movie
It took me a while to see this one because I don’t tend to watch “Oscar” films until they have been released for a little while. In any event, this was a good film, but not as good as I thought it would be. Of course there …

Seventh Son movie (2015)
I’ll be coming as a viewer who hasn’t read the book series by Joseph Delaney but after having seen the movie, I’ll be buying a copy of book 1 of the series.
I thought the movie had potential if only it was handled better. The SFX was good enough not …
The Thing Below (2004) Movie
This is one of those creepy science fiction pictures, horror really, that I found boring. The movie just didn’t hold my attention very well. I guess the plot moved too slowly. Normally I like these kind of creepy pictures. It could be the over-used plot this movie has. Or …
Yankee Doody Dandy
Yankee Doody Dandy is the story of show business patriot, George M. Cohan, and no one is more closely identified with Cohan than James Cagney who played the role of the Vaudeville star. While the 1942 musical from Warner Brothers has a solid cast which includes Joan Leslie …
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015 Animated Superhero Movie)
I grew up reading DC Comics sometimes, and also watching animated series that revolved around popular DC Comic characters such as Superman and Batman and the Justice League. Now that I’m an adult I still watch some of their animated movies on occasion, especially when I’m feeling in the mood …
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
Kate Hudson tries to tell us in this movie on “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. I am sure that even if she would like to get rid ofMatthew McConaughley, there are a lot of women who won’t mind have him around!

Kill Gill
I’ve been disappointed by most of the Simpsons holiday specials lately. But, last night’s Christmas special was pretty decent.
The Simpsons took in a character I’ve always found fascinating, Gill, the sales guy who can’t seem to catch a break. And, I learned a lot about him, including just how …
Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
To kind of quote Indiana Jones, now we’re getting nasty. This is the first of the Potter stories to have someone killed, giving us a taste of what’s to come, priming us, if you will. The atmosphere of Goblet of Fire is decidedly darker. The moods of the characters …

20th Century Women (2016 Comedy-Drama Film)
The moment the trailer of Mike Mills’ latest film “20th Century Women” arrived I became immediately excited. The sense of nostalgia in recreating the 1970’s again (even if I was born in the 90’s) excites me in a way that I felt euphoric just thinking what the film could be. …
Addam’s Family Values. A Movie

Mr. Imperium movie

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

The Nun’s Story: A Film by Fred Zinnemann (1959)
I have heard this film is one of Audrey Hepburn’s acclaimed performances. I personally believe it’s also the most critically-absorbing film in the entire Audrey Hepburn —˜genre’. The austere screenplay was very consistent to the point that it almost felt like watching an art film. The …
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.
