The Clearing (2004)

Sin City (2005)

Sin City (2005)

Out of all of the women characters in Sin City, I perhaps related to Jessica Alba’s Nancy Callahan the most. Maybe it is because I’m not an assassin hooker....

The Prophecy (1995)

The Prophecy (1995)

I’m not that big on horror movies, but I have to say, The Prophecy turned out a lot better than I expected. First, it reunites Elias Koteas and Eric...

Catwoman (2004)

Catwoman (2004)

I actually kind of liked Catwoman, except for the part where Halle Berry turns into a cat. I’m not just being facetious. The movie gets off to a decent...

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)
