In so many ways, ParaNorman is a film that I can relate to. It has a lead character named Norman who really feels like a lot like me and has many of my interests. It also has a supporting cast that feels like some of my own friends and a plot that has elements of one of favorite films of all time, The Blair Witch Project. Overall, ParaNorman is just great film that...

The director of this film Bong Joon-ho is one of those directors that struck me as a pretty good director the first time I saw one of his films, The Host. It is a great monster film and memorable for a lot of reasons. This film, Mother, is not as good or memorable but it is still an impressive thriller that I quite enjoyed.Mother is set in South Korea in a small town and is the...

I didn't know too much about this movie, Swingers before seeing it. In a lot of ways, I liked it and found it to be a hip comedy but at the same time, I think not knowing much about the film beforehand helped me like it even more and it is probably one my favorite comedies of all-time.The plot is something we have seen before but the film puts it in a new and original way by adding...

The Burbs is one those films that I watched one or twice as a little kid. Now ten years later later, I couldn't remember most of it and watching it after all those years, I see I didn't miss much. It does have some highlights and I found some stuff enjoyable but all in all, it is kind of a mess that needs a lot of work.Set in a suburban neighborhood, The Burbs is the story of a family...

It doesn't beat out the first two Godfather films but Goodfellas is no doubt a really a top-notch mob film. Along with most Martin Scorsese films, it has everything you would want and very few dry spots, and it is a film you can watch again and again.This film from 1990, is the story of Henry Hill who has been involved with the mob since he was a young teenager and as he gets older, he becomes...

When I heard about this film and saw a trailer a while back, I kind of wrote it off. After the mess of The Dark Knight Rises, maybe unfairly it was hard for me to look at the actors in that movie the same way. This includes Joseph-Gordon Levitt who actually was not bad in the Batman movie but that movie just left a bad taste in my mouth. Also after watching the trailer for Premium...

Here is an oldie but goodie. To Kill a Mockingbird is one of those films that really took me forever to get around to watch. It is a film that I knew I would like and it eventually helped me a lot during my high school English class because we had to read it. That said, I didn't expect to like it this much. It is a very powerful film that shines in almost every department, especially the acting.The movie is...
