• The Bang Bang Club

    I love movies based on true stories. Just the fact that some of the events actually occurred makes the entire film so much more real to me. And yes, while I understand that Hollywood adds a lot of exaggeration in order to sell tickets and make the movie more “mainstream”, I still appreciate a movie […]

  • Defiance

    Now, you guys know I”m a sucker for a period movie… Especially 1950’s or WWII era ones. That’s why I was excited to see Defiance, which came out in 2008 and is based on the true story of three brothers who were trying to survive German occupation. I’d wanted to see it for awhile, I […]

  • Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father

    I know that last week when I covered Lone Survivor I told you to be prepared to cry during the tribute that rolls before the credits, but this documentary is the single most gut-wrenching, “emotional roller coaster that will rip your heart out multiple times” movie that you will ever watch. Instead of just certain […]

  • Lone Survivor

    As usual, I’m going to warn you. This movie is graphic and bloody and gory. There was a couple of times even I started to feel queasy, so watch out and prepare yourself so you don’t toss your cookies while watching. Also, even if you are the manliest man that has ever lived and think […]

  • MOVIE PREVIEW: Serena

    I decided to switch thing up a bit this week and instead of a movie review, I’ll be previewing a movie that’s set to debut sometime this upcoming year. The reason I suddenly decided to make this change? Well, as I’ve made it well known, I have three true loves and passions in life: movies, […]

  • Meet Bill

    Let me start off by saying that this movie got a lot of flack. A LOT. Critics were saying that the plot line was done to death and that this movie “never should’ve seen the light of day”, but I disagree. Sure, there’s a host of problems with it and it’s by no means perfect, […]

  • My One And Only

    My One And Only is based on actor George Hamilton’s real life experiences coming of age and how he ended up in Hollywood. So it does sound a little boring, but I promise you it’s not. I might just think that because I’m a total sucker for time period movies, especially of the 1950’s range, […]

  • 10 Things I Hate About You

    Okay, so I dug back into the archives for the movie this week. Let me preface this by saying Ten Things I Hate About You is my ultimate favorite teen movie. Teen movies from our generation just don’t cut it, though this may be because 10 Things I Hate About You thoroughly encompasses everything about […]
