Zodiac’s appeal is in the fact it is a shockingly real story. It’s appeal is also in how recent the events in question are and the mystery that still surrounds it. In some cases this makes it chilling but interesting – in … Continue reading Zodiac (2007) Review
Beverly Hills Cop is a movie I remember fondly from childhood. I thought it had a cool main character, some great, funny moments and a killer soundtrack that would be stuck in my head for days afterwards. That is why … Continue reading Beverly Hills Cop (1984) Review
It’s worth mentioning that I haven’t seen the original Carrie so this review can’t be a comparison of the two. That being said, this movie does strike me as a film trying to do something new without really achieving anything … Continue reading Carrie (2013) Review
