Film Review: V for Vendetta “People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.” Based on the comics of the same name‚ V for Vendetta is a mind-opening feature film from 2005 that alters our perception towards how much freedom we‚ as citizens‚ really hold.

Film review. Martin Scorsese knows something about surprise endings which twist meisters like M. Night Shyamalan seem to have forgotten. The twist doesn’t matter if you haven’t already told a good story. By the time Shutter Island gets to its twist‚ it has already told such a tale.

It makes sense of the madness‚ brings order to

Sleepy Hollow’ film Review Blood and murder usually go down a treat for the people who love gore but this is not the case in the movie Sleepy Hollow’. Repetition is the key to an ultimately predictable film. Just as in any other film we see a substance with a resemblance to blood fall onto a piece of paper. This tells our minds the movie will have elements of horror. Then two hands‚ male and female‚ clasp. A headless horseman then appears decapitating an innocent man on the run in the woods

Film review (127 hours) 127 hours is a true story made into a blockbuster film. The director‚ the actors and the production crew made the film a hit.
