Repulsion movie
Roman Polanskis masterful effort about a woman, played by the beautiful Catherine Deneuve, who step by step goes insane in here solitude.

Movie: Backwoods

For the third part in the Jackass movie series, Johnny Knoxville and his crew are ready to be stupid in 3D. Ah yes, 3D, the current crazy that doesn’t seem to be dying anytime soon. But that is fine with me because 3D gave us a new Jackass movie …
Fool’s Gold
Fool’s Gold is a genreless movie fresh to the theaters. Well, they say it has a genre, but once you watch the movie, the genre becomes rather unapparent. The movie is about a bickering married couple (Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson) on the edge of divorcing who team up …

Be Kind Rewind, comedy film
Comedy movies are hard to make any more. A good comedy tends to please the audience for its entire length. A bad comedy only has enough laughs to make the trailer look good. Be Kind Rewind is one of those comedy movies that sort of falls in-between the cracks …
Throw Mama from the Train (1987)
One of my favorite VHS tapes (yes, I am over 50 and therefore behind the times) is “Throw Mama from the Train”. Despite the horrid title, this really is a good adult movie. In fact, I might even go out and buy it on DVD, since tapes …

Masters of Horror: Valerie on the Stairs (movie)
The Masters of Horror series is incredibly interesting. I like that they have different directors because it gives viewers an idea of how various filmmakers “do” horror. At any rate, “Valerie on the Stairs” is very Twilight Zone-ish in its delivery. In fact, reference to this …

For those who watched the actor, Freddie Prinze Jr. in “She’s All That” and the actress, Julia Stiles in “10 Things I Hate About You” and the recent Bourne movies, the movie “Down to You” will definitely will not impress you.
“Down to You” is a romantic movie addressed …

Gone Girl (2014 film)

The River Wild
Most movies that star Kevin Bacon have him as a lovable person. The River Wild is one of those movies that’s a bit different because it turns the guy who usually plays a hero into the villain and the contrast works.
