Kaw (2006)

Posted on April 30, 2011 by laurarachel4

The Crossing (2000)

Posted on March 26, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This film made me feel very unpatriotic. I disliked General Washington. I thought him a pompous arse. I never studied Washington enough to get his personality but I always thought of him as quiet reflective man not a man … Continue reading →

Desperate Souls (2005)

Posted on March 25, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R Desperate Souls tries to be a horror film but it doesn’t even have wax to light the candle. The filmmakers use the common camera style of shaking the camera. This was supposed to make it scary-it doesn’t work. It makes … Continue reading →

A Christmas Carol (2009)

Posted on March 12, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG This is not a children’s animated film. It has a very dark themed story although, the flying scenes are spectacularly done. Robert Zemeckis did try to follow the book but I noticed a couple of times where he went … Continue reading →

Posted on March 5, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R Starring:  Steve Austin, Vinnie Jones, Robert Mammone If you are squeamish about violence this film isn’t for you. I had to watch it most with my hands covering my eyes. It is not an easy watch. I liked the … Continue reading →
