This is not as action packed or scary/tense as the last one. The last one had so many orcs and the nightmare inducing Nazguls. Damn, that screech of theirs and their black robes are bone-chilling. And did I also mention they’re faceless? This movie is much more character-driven than the first one. When I was

Now, this is a movie that I have been waiting to talk about! My favorite Indiana Jones movie. We start the movie with a teenage Indiana Jones played by River Phoenix, brother of Joaquin Phoenix. This opening shows how he first developed the love for adventure and his fear of snakes. We then fast forward

The first Indiana Jones movie, and after a really long think, this is NOT my favorite Indiana Jones movie. Indiana Jones is no ordinary archaeologist. We first see him in 1936 in a South American jungle, looking for a small golden statue. He finds this statue and immediately the place that he’s in starts falling

I was surprised by the cast list/voice actors of this movie. Rosamund Pike, Dominic West, Timothy Spall, Ewan McGregor, Alan Cumming. Judging by the cast, I thought this would be a pretty ok movie. Is it, though? World War II: What if Nazis seized London and all of England had to band together? When Nazi

I remember having this movie on VHS tape. I still remember putting it in the VCR to watch whenever I felt like it. I loved it. So, this movie, in a way, is kind of nostalgic for me. I was so excited when I saw it on TV on Monday while I was surfing through
