War of the Worlds
Spielberg always delivers a quality product and teaming him with Cruise results in a well done, modern rendition of this classic story.
Top Gun
Director Tony Scott brought some incredible shots to the film, mounting cameras everywhere on the fighter jets to achieve amazing footage while giving the audience the feeling they were flying right alongside Maverick.
The Photograph
The Photograph is a study of opposites in so much as the movie itself moves at a slow pace while Michael and Mae’s relationship goes from zero to sixty in about ten seconds.
Fatal Attraction
There are so many reasons Fatal Attraction is such a great film but first and foremost is the cast.
King Creole
Presley was born to be a performer and his portrayal of Danny in King Creole added more credibility to his acting career.
To Catch a Thief
Grant had a certain suave, debonair appeal, and charming good looks which made him the perfect casting choice for the role of Robie.
Like a Boss
Hayek comes across beautifully as the villain, but I'm not sure there is a role she can't pull off.
Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island
If you remember the Fantasy Island television show, you should watch the film at least once if for nothing more than nostalgia’s sake.
