Rose Red, movie directed by Stephen King

Half Baked movie
I used to love Cheech and Chong movies when I was younger, so when I saw this film, I thought it would be something that would pay tribute to what they accomplished.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is definitely the scariest movie I’ve ever seen in my life and that’s saying alot because I don’t get easily scared by horror movies. I know in my mind that horror movies that feature monsters like Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street and …
Happy Feet movie

Without a Clue
I am reviewing the movie, Without a Clue, a Sherlock HOlmes movie starring Ben Kingsley as Dr. Watson, and Michael Caine as Sherlock Holmes. This movie was produced in 1988. This movie is quite different from any Sherlock Holmes film you’ve scene. What’s the main difference, you ask? …

Highlander Endgame
