My grandmother loved her action movies and TV shows. I spent the majority of my childhood with her. Hence, I was no stranger to the show In the Heat of the Night starring Carroll O’Connor and Howard E. Rollins Jr. The series focused on the Sparta Mississippi police department and all the drama associated with … More In the Heat of the Night (1967)
I’ve always admired the history of the United States. If I had to pick an area that most fascinated me, it would be the Presidency. John F. Kennedy became the 35th President of the United States in January 1960. When asked who my favourite historical person was, I always say it was Kennedy. Just because … More Parkland (2013)
Please stop me if you heard this one… Sean Bean walks onto a movie set… That opening was pretty lame, but so was the outcome for Don’t Say a Word, which starred Bean as the bad guy. His target this time around is not a king or the king’s army. Instead, it’s a girl in … More Don’t Say a Word (2001)
The Game came out in 1997, which means I’ve had over two decades to deconstruct this movie time and time again.

Those out in … More The Lucky One (2012)
My wife suggested that I watch and review the movie Fragiles, which came out in 2005 and starred Clarista Flockhart. It is a scary movie set in an old hospital where things continue to bump in the night. So please stop me if you’ve heard it all before. Amy (Flockhart) transfers to a run-down children’s … More Fragiles (2005)
What happens when you rush a film in production? Usually, nothing good. Hot off the success of I Know What You Did Last Summer, the writers hoped to capitalize on the instant success and decided to continue the story of Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Ray Bronson (Freddy Prinze Jr.). In case you didn’t … More I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)
I want to believe that any teenager who lived through the 1990s would never complain about the story or characters in I Know What You Did Last Summer. One of the more memorable horror movies to come out of the decade featured a whos who of popular actors and actresses who would eventually go on … More I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
There is much debate in the film community on whether the world needed a Scream 4 or not. The franchise had been nonexistent for 11 years until Wes Craven dusted off his knife collection and brought Ghostface back to life. It is hard for me to remember which Scream movies I watched at the theatre, … More Scream 4 (2011)
