The Castle of Fu Manchu movie
This is one of the classic Christopher Lee movies, and personally, I think that most people I’ve met who are still interested in some of these classic horror and suspense films either like this movie or hate it. Personally, I appreciated this movie, since I didn’t think that it …
Legend (movie)
I had heard of the Tom Cruise film “Legend,” but I never got around to watching it until last night. While, overall, it wasn’t a bad movie, I’m not sure if I was overly impressed by it either.

Stuck in the Suburbs

Cut Off movie
My wife and I picked up the movie Cut Off this past weekend and didn’t really know what to expect from it. It looked somewhat decent from the description on the back. But, as I told my wife, it also looked as though it could end up being some …
Shooter, conspiracy thriller film by Antoine Fuqua
