I think that like most people as a young child I was afraid of monsters. I remember lying in bad feeling so afraid because I thought that monsters were going to pop out of my closet and eat me.

Movie Don’t Look Now
I love suspense and horror, and I adore Julie Christie. What a gorgeous actress she was! If you also enjoy this combination, you must watch Don’t Look Now. Don’t Look Now is an older film, from the 1970s, but it will not disappoint you. Julie Christie plays Laura, and …
Life of Pi (movie)

The Thin Red Line movie
A war story by the poetic filmmaker Terrence Malick. He created the visually stunning films Days of Heaven and Badlands back in the 1970s, then he didn’t make a film until his come back with this film more than 20 years later. I don’t think it is as engaging …

Pan’s Labyrinth (R, 2006) movie

It Follows, horror movie
Within the last few years the genre of “Horror” for me seems to repeat the same mundane patterns of predictability and flatness. However, “It follows” is a gripping and tense horror flick that will leave you shaken, yet wanting more.
With barely anytime to get comfy, director (David Robert Mitchell) has …

My Super Ex-Girlfriend

The Hiding Place Movie
I’d like to say right away, that this was a very good movie. It was quite dramatic. It’s not the cheesey been-there-done-that drama. It was a genuinely dramatic movie. It is guaranteed to make you cry at one point or another.
The story is of Corrie ten Boom, and her …

Three and Out
I had never heard of this British film before, but it stars the new Bond girl, Gemma Arterton, and MacKenzie Crook from The Office fame, so I gave it a go. It’s a new film (2008) but, as with many British films, I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere so …

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
These days, many small budget movies with lesser-known actors are becoming big news at the mainstream award shows like the Oscars and the SAG, not just the film festivals. “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” is one film that actually slipped under the radar and, in my opinion, should …

Movie: Return of the Living Dead

I was watching the film Planet of the Apes on TV the other day and have to say, considering when the movie was made, it is still one of the better science fiction tales you will come across.
There are two reasons I feel this way. One is the make …

Grown Ups Movie
Oh boy, where to begin? Let me start by saying that yes, I am a bit of a movie snob, but I am perfectly capable of appreciating and enjoying a dumb comedy. I mean, I watched Grandma’s Boy four times. On purpose. And I laughed …

The Libertine Movie
The Libertine was a movie that came out last year starring Johnny Depp. The movie takes place during the 17th century and Johnny Depp

Night At the Museum
I don’t watch many movies; usually when I watch a movie more than once it ends up being a favorite that I want to own. Night At the Museum is a perfect example. This is by far one of the funniest, cutest movies I’ve seen; there’s nothing questionable, it’s …
