Great film. Not your typical van Damme beat 'em up. Highly recommend it.

Unlike some 90's films like "Singles" and "Reality Bites", this was my real coming of age movie milestone. It tackles its subject to the ground and once there, holds it endlessly in order to show what I considered the hypocrisy of modern religion. However at the same time...

This is one of those films that should not be, but actually is cleanly insinuated with my childhood, thanks to the invention and premiere of The Movie Channel. And of course being a child when I saw it, introduced me to the world of the psychological issues for my age group, and how adults handle...

The film itself is accurate as far as the weight a psychic ability upon the emotional health of a human being, for both the talent and those connected to them who do not have this talent in any form, in this case his wife and sister in law. There are times when it comes across as an addiction/co-...

There are a number of very endearing scenes in this movie. As you watch it over and over you, as with most unremarkable films, spot the scenes you really like and tend to jump back and forth between them in order to extract whatever potential joy there is from them.
I just watched the trailer ...

When I first watched Brazil, I couldn't understand why there was so much interest in the movie. I researched it online and found that people seemed to think it was a great movie and on forums some people thought it was their favorite one. Now, even though that was the case I still took it wi...

I watched this movie some time ago (I suppose it was 2007!) and when I left the theater I was a little miffed.
I couldn't tell why, initially, but after I talked it over with my movie going partner (who hated the film and knew why she hated it) I came to understand why although this movie...

There are lots of reasons to love this movie. You have the action packed hockey scenes which, silly as they are, actually serve to engage you emotionally for hockey is life for these quacks, and just like a warzone certain parts are played by the snipers, and others are the blunt objects of destr...

There are so many slow, dragged out scenes in this show, but unlike other shows where you regret being invested in it, Breaking Bad has a way of throwing in awesome/stimulating scenes and interactions that feel so satisfying that it becomes a staple reason for why you keep watching it.

Yellow Brick Road is not your typical horror movie. It doesn't have the mainstream thumps, bumps and visual triggers that are commonly found in horror movies. Instead, from the get go, the thick residue of the back story and the increasing psychological discomfort you feel as you travel with...

I recall watching this movie at a young age and not really knowing why it was like the best Rocky movie I had ever seen.
After watching it as an adult again you really start to appreciate the fact that this movie is basically montage after montage with just fantastic 80s tracks lined up one af...

The success of this movie is a testament to how corruptly ridiculous the US has become.
There is no question throughout this movie, and the true story it is based on, that the very rich and very white family that "took this poor black man" into their home did so primarily to get him ...

I expected a lot from Prometheus. Well, not really. But I expected something.
I guess I was taken by the trailers and the ambiguity that they relayed was, to me, an indication of quality, for the director had sufficient faith in his movie so as to not sell it outright in the ads.
Neverthele...

I don't even know if many people have seen this movie, but yet another movie that goes underrated. Others like Paranormal Activity get a lot more attention, and though that WAS a better movie, this one is definitely deserving of a prop up.
Again, a low budget movie which focuses on the st...

There is little argument among film buffs that The Godfather is a classic masterpiece of film making. However, it seems it has now become slightly assumed that this perception is the norm, and it doesn't hurt to re-assess our view of the movie to refresh our understanding of what makes it gr...

It's interesting how some movies, mediocre as they are, somehow succeed in capturing the attention of popular culture and you might say, luck out. This, tragic as it may be, is nowhere near has troublesome to observe as when a movie that is deserving of attention gets very little.
