In 1995, Waterworld was quite ahead of its time with the unique concept that dryland is no more. They have been a thousand movies that involve the end of the world crisis,’ yet Waterworld is still alone in its own subgenre. Kevin Costner is known as the Drifter, a man who roams the open water … More Waterworld (1995)
There have been so many important dates in the history of the world and film. One of the most memorable dates will always be November 5th. For those who are not familiar with anything I just referenced, here’s a short recap. Back in the 1600s, Guy Fawkes was arrested with a massive pile of explosives … More V for Vendetta (2005)
It took me over two years to watch HBO’s remake of one of my most beloved novels, Fahrenheit 451. I wish I had waited 20 years to watch it because now that I have seen it, I can not unsee it. I could have filled this review with a long list of swear words, but … More Fahrenheit 451 (2018)
I am not a huge fan of reading, yet I love to collect books. However, if there is one book I have read more than once, it would be Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. I am not sure I could put a number on it, but I’ve read it probably a dozen times since I was … More Fahrenheit 451 (1966)
Once upon a time, I had watched Escape from New York. I want to say it was late in my teenage years or as a young adult, so nothing about the movie appealed to me. I didn’t fully understand or appreciate all the themes that John Carpenter wrote into this brilliant film. Last night while … More Escape from New York (1981)
There is no doubt that Robin Williams made his best movies in the 1990s. I understand there could be a lot of arguments for films later in his career, but his more memorable roles were from that decade. Bicentennial Man is a personal favourite of mine. I watched it more as a young adult than … More Bicentennial Man (1999)
(In 2015, I was in a monthly film club with fellow bloggers. Together we published seven group reviews. Recently I discovered that those posts are gone. When I dug into the archives, I found my contributions. Here they are.) Snowpiercer came out in late 2013 and was on my watch list because everyone was praising … More Snowpiercer (2013)
Batman is a household name, so if his products are making money, they keep making more of it. That was the problem with Batman and Robin. After two box office successes and a third film that was kinda “meh”, they rolled the dice yet again and crapped out this time. The story was so bad … More Batman & Robin (1997)
Everyone is back for a sequel that included a lot of flashbacks to the original. It is in those film recaps that you may see your favourite characters die all over again. If you have made it to the second one, maybe you are a fan of Selene (Kate Beckingsale) or Michael (Scott Speedman). Or … More Underworld: Evolution (2006)
Twelve Monkeys is considered one of the top five movies about viruses. Since I have never seen this cult classic with Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt, I thought there was no better time than the present to watch it. Personally, I thought this movie was pure garbage. Like an out of control dumpster fire that … More Twelve Monkeys (1995)
