Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey (1988 Film)
The 1988 film starring Sigourney Weaver called “Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey” was something that surprised me. Normally, I am not one to really enjoy films such as these, but this film changed my mine towards movies that capture the real life events of people …
The Princess Bride

Up in the Air movie

10 (movie)
The movie 10 catapulted Bo Derek into a household name. Bo is steamy hot in this film, although the acting leaves much to be desired. I like 10 because it’s cool to see an icon when she was young and very, very beautiful. Bo Derek can’t act worth a …

Machete (2010 film)
I want to preface this review by saying that this is one of my favorite movies because it embraces what it is. It is an action movie that focuses primarily on the action. This is the type of movie that you watch solely for entertainment value. It is not …
