The 2008 film “The Dark Knight”, starring a terrific Christian Bale as Batman, and the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, was even better than the first movie, “Batman Begins”. When in comparison, I feel that “The Dark Knight” has so much more power behind it’s actors, even more …

I actually really liked this movie. The film seeks to bring together the original movie (with Christoper Lambert) and the Highlander series. They (wisely, I might add) pretty much completely ignore Highlander 2 and 3. They pick up from the end of the first movie and, …

This film was not what I expected. The title, the trailers, gave no sign as to the actual nature of this movie. Despite that sneakiness, I thought it was an exceptionally fine film, dealing with very sensitive themes. The main themes are bulliness and neglect, and both are represented …

When I watch a movie, I can’t help but pay attention to the actors. If a movie uses bad actors, then the chances are good that I’m going to despise the movie. That’s my main problem with Friday the 13th part 7. I knew going in that the movie …

When I first heard of the movie Twilight, I did not know of the book, and it was just a little before the first movie came out. Thus, my cousin gave me a brief synopsis on what the book was about, and from that synopsis I thought that movie …
