I am soooo glad that I waited to see “Drag Me to H3ll” on DVD. Had I watched it in the movies, I would have been extremely disappointed. In any case, I didn’t like that the film was too much of a dark comedy with some cheesy …

I enjoyed “Taken” well enough. It wasn’t the most complex piece of cinema, but if you wanted to see Liam Neeson beat up bad guys, it delivered.
It seemed like one of those movies that didn’t really need a sequel. Not everything needs to be turned into a …

At the time of its release, many critics were apt to complain about the casting of Grease. They thought that the ages of the actors, playing much younger characters, was a hindrance and that the film would suffer. The huge box office that this fun and extremely lovable film …

Sometimes Hollywood comes up with a unique idea for a film only to have it suck because of poor execution.

A friend of mine kept nagging me about watching the movie Sicario, but I just never really got around to it. Eventually after the blu-ray version came out, I decided to give it a try without watching the trailer first. I was happy I did that, because Sicario turned out …

“Strawberry Panic!” is a cute romantic subtle-drama series, featuring lesbian relationships between girls at an exclusive all-female

emotion or attention in the viewer, neither through …

I’ve been enjoying the Clone Wars cartoon not so much because it is Star Wars but because it’s hard to find anything which feels like epic Science Fiction, and Shadow of Malevolence, the third episode in the season, manages to get that feel of a big universe better than …

As soon as I saw this movie, I knew I had to watch it, because I was a child in the nineties and was interested in the x-men cartoons and the movies when they came out. I also thought that the trailers made the movie seem amazing and that …

How many times have we heard the phrase at the 11th hour? Quite often I bet and now that phrase will haunt those who are fans of good cinema. At the 11th hour the Criterion version of Ran was scrapped due to Lionsgate and StudioCanal. Criterion had to forfeit …
