Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: World Trade Center: 1 of 12
I'd heard a lot of bad things about World Trade Center, most notably I had heard that a entire audience at Cheltenham's Odeon Cinema had left saying "It's Crap". I wanted to remain optimistic, after all who would make a bad film about something that effected every civilized person on the earth? The answer to that question is... More..
Entertainment > Movie Genres Best horror movies of all time: 5 of 57
Before writing this I pondered the subject heading for some time, being somewhat a horror aficionado I found it hard to figure out how to pick the movies. Do I try and limit it to ten? Twenty?

Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: The Reaping: 1 of 8
I like to consider myself a well balanced reviewer, I try to see the positives in the negatives; but once in a blue moon a film comes along that no matter how hard I try I cannot find faith in it.
