Review : My wife and I originally saw this movie when it came out in theaters in 2007. I have since seen it a few more times and, while my overall opinion of the movie has changed a bit, I do still think it is one of the better horror movie remakes. This film does exactly what a remake should. It kept the same concept as the original, modernized it so a younger generation could relate and added enough original content to the film to mak...

Review: My wife and I continued our movie marathon after a short break for me to pick up a carry-out food order from one of our local bars. Deciding to take a break from Hallmark films, I picked out Model House , which I came across on Starz a few days ago. While it wasn't what I was expecting it to be, it turned out to be a good choice. The movie takes a while to get going, spending a lot of time on introducing the models as...

The movie stars Ryan Kwanten , Amy Smart , Leslie Bibb , Scout Taylor-Compton , Nicky Whelan and Christian Serratos . Review: I came across this movie a few weeks ago and added it to my library, partly because it sounded somewhat interesting and partly because I recognized a couple of the names. My wife and I had some free time yesterday evening and finally took the time to watch the film. Overall, I thought it was entertaining. I think the thing I liked most about this film is the mystery surrounding the deceased passenger ( Rick Kelly ). From the moment he is introduced, it is apparent there is something a little off about him, especially the way he is carefully transporting a wooden bo...

The movie stars Scout Taylor-Compton , James Landry Hebert , Mark Boone Junior , Michael S. New , Russell Geoffrey Banks and Rich Lee Gray . Review: This was a movie I was undecided about when I first came across it on Netflix. The preview looked somewhat interesting. But, the film also seemed somewhat similar to other movies we've seen before and, because of that, I had doubts about it being anything special. However, I couldn't find much else that caught my eye so we ended up watching it. As it turns out, it was a better film than I was expec...
