Review of Magic in the Moonlight (2014)

By Alan W (854) on 25 Sep 2014

Review of Comrades, Almost a Love Story (1996)

Review of Before I Go to Sleep (2014)

By Alan W (854) on 18 Sep 2014

Review of Transcendence (2014)

By Alan W (854) on 01 Sep 2014

Review of Cold in July (2014)

By Alan W (854) on 06 Jul 2014

Review of Earth to Echo (2014)

By Alan W (854) on 04 Jul 2014

I really can't tell you how good the movie was. The constant camera movements using POV (point of view) made me nauseous…

Review of The Two Faces of January (2014)

By Alan W (854) on 27 May 2014
