Let’s get this straight from the start, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is not a horror flick but rather a movie about romance. I would like to say it is about teenage romance but some of the characters are over 100 years old! This raises the question, why would they still be attending high school? [...]
Goose bumps! Tears! Kick your ass attitude! Humanity personified! This movie has it all. Sandra Bullock does a beautiful job (both literally and figuratively). She with the blond coiffure and sassy demeanor is a sight for the eyes! Just watch her as she has her way with her husband and the high school coach without either [...]
Originally titled The Boat That Rocked, this film was reedited and retitled prior to its release in the U.S. It was cut back from a three hour running time to just over two -thank goodness! I say this not because it is a poor movie, quite the contrary, but three hours is simply too long. [...]
Sure, almost everyone has seen at least one version of this movie adapted from the Charles Dickens’ novel written in 1843. This enduring story has been captured on film many times but never like this! I saw it in IMAX 3-D and was blown away! Don’t be fooled when you learn that this is an animated movie. [...]

The title of this film refers to human encounters with aliens (the UFO types). This movie deals with the four recognized classifications (there are seven in total) as presented by UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek in his 1972 book “The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry”. According to Hynek the close encounters are described as the [...]
What would you do if a stranger delivered a mysterious box to you and gave you the choice of pressing the red button and receiving $1 million (tax free!) or returning the box back to him (you get to keep a crisp $100 bill for your troubles regardless of your decision). This is exactly the choice [...]
