The Exorcist

For years, I let this film lay on the shelf. Of course, it is a classic to many people. One bad habit of mine is to always take a while to get to watching classic movies for some odd reason. Also the R rating prevented me from seeing it when I was younger. Now as teenager, my first viewing was nothing less than truly memorable. The Excorcist is a film that is hard to look...

Mama

From the 90's and early 2000's, horror films just don't seem to be what they used to be, for me anyway. It seems to be a genre that is running out of ideas, with remakes coming out like no tomorrow. I can't even remember a good recent scary horror movie like we had a lot back in the day. Mama is, a film made by Andres Muschietti and based on his short film. It is produced by...

Drive Angry

Along with Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage is one of the strangest actors around in Hollywood. Cage is an actor who could really be something but he usually struggles with picking the right scripts and he is someone who takes down a lot of films. Drive Angry fits into this category perfectly. It is a 2011 film that does not work with anything that it tries and really misses it's mark.A part road movie and part B...

Jerry Maguire

As film followers, every year we seem to get a fair amount of love stories. Every one is different of course.

It did a whole lot of everything and really for everyone in almost every way.It is the story of a sports agent named Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) who finds himself with girl named Dorothy (Renee...

Due Date

For the most part, I enjoy most films by Todd Phillips. He puts out decent comedies that sometimes bring something different to the table and they are also memorable for a lot reasons. Due Date is kind of like that. It did have promise and could been something more than it is. It is not terrible at all but it could been better and I think it was one of the biggest disappointments of the year 2010.With...

My most anticipated films of 2013

Every year, there are films that will stand out. Memorable films that are exciting, may add something to a series or whatever. Here are films scheduled to be released in 2013 that I am most looking forward to. I really enjoyed the Kick-Ass movie. I see that Kick-Ass 2 is returning most of the great cast from the original. Kick-Ass 2 also adds Jim Carrey so anything...

My favorite films of 2012

Due to a conflicting schedule that includes being in one of most challenging and highest-ranked high schools in Michigan on top of attending sporting events sometimes weekly, attending movies at theaters is sometimes hard for me. I did however see 15 to 20 films this past year but did miss some that I wanted to see. That being the case, my Best of 2012 list is probably...
