Scarface (1983)

170 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

Brian De Palma's remake of "Scarface" is held in such high esteem that for many the thought of it ever being remade is a travesty. But to be blunt is it really that good, is it that great a gangster movie that to remake it or...

The Name of the Rose (1986)

130 mins     Drama, Mystery, Thriller      

It seems to me that those who rate Jean-Jacques Annual's "The Name of the Rose" highly are those who loved Umberto Eco's dark novel on which it was adapted from. And that to me makes perfect sense especially when you read opi...

When it comes to horror movies what is your reasoning for watching? Is it to be spooked or just be entertained by the look and the characters? If your reason is the first then I can only suggest you give "Thir13en Ghosts" a m...

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

99 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Crime
