My Best Friend’s Wedding

Aelita-Queen of Mars

The Watchmen
I saw the movie “The Watchmen” recently and I really liked it, however I wouldn’t recommend it to parents with children under age 15.

However, I have a borderline large issue with the …

Beerfest Movie
The movie Beerfest takes two things I enjoy, beer and movies and combines them together to make a fun summer flick. Beerfest, as you can tell by the title is nto an intellectual film, its not even a remotely serious film. Beerfest covers the life of two Americans who …
Shallow Hal
I think Directors should definitely make more movies with plots that go around in the movie of Shallow Hal. This is a movie about looking at someone’s personal and inner beauty rather than someone that looks good just on the outer layer or physical skin beauty.

That Touch of Mink movie

Funny Games movie
A highly provocative film by the german controversial filmmaker Michael Haneke.
