Hitler is considered by, I’d say everyone, to be the most evil man in history. I am not going to go into detail about his crimes because all of you should know the atrocities committed by him leading up to and during the Second World War. His leadership and control of Germany lead to millions of despicable deaths with families torn apart. The devastation he committed still resonates with us over 60 years later and movies will continue to portray the despicable Nazi’s as soulless killers who...

  Action movies, hey? What kind of reaction do you get from watching action movies? Do you find them exhilarating or derivative? Do you find them necessary or money grabbing movies? Are you pro Die Hard or more about story and development? Are you style or substance? There are a few questions you have to ask yourself; these are the ones I constantly ask.

If you have never seen City of Angels, then that is a bonus because I am going to teach you all about the...

  (Spoilers.)   You may know this film by another film; Vanilla Sky. After all, instead of watching an original film only with subtitles, Hollywood seem to be awash with remaking foreign movies and adding some famous face to the story (or several famous faces) in order to appeal to a wider audience. Of course, this only works if the film had some action, horror or thrill because a film with depth and substance is just ignored by the bigwigs (but then again no one wants to see a remake...
