I first saw the 2003 movie Return of the King when I was eight years old. It was the third and final film in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I watched it at home with my family, and I remember falling in love with the fictional world of Middle Earth. The film follows Frodo…

Memoirs of A Geisha
Growing up I fell in love with all kinds of movies because they give you hope but they also show you how ugly the world can be especially in another country. Memoirs of A Geisha impacted me in a way where I became interested in another culture. I re-watched this movie several times because I…
The Joy that Is Bohemian Rhapsody
Bohemian Rhapsody is a conventional film in about every aspect, except when it comes to the unconventional actor who portrays Freddie mercury. This rock biopic truly is worth watching, even if you are a nonexclusive fan. If anything is as legendary as there music its definitely this movie. This movie changed the way I…
Time Proves the Classic
Time will prove the value of classics, although at some point it will be misjudged and ignored. The Shawshank Redemption filmed in 1994 did not shine on the Oscars of the following year. It lost to the “main theme” film Forrest Gump. The Shawshank Redemption is like a naughty genius. It is screened out by the teacher of…
The name is Bond, James Bond.
I saw the 1977 James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me when I was 7 years old, almost 15 years after its original release date. The tenth in the James Bond series, I remember being allowed to stay up late to watch the whole film with my parents and sister on our TV at…

Steven Spielberg begins with a man who is…
The March Sisters
The 1994 adaptation of Little Women Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott, holds fond memories for me. I saw the movie when I was middle school aged and remember it as an inspiring tale Of young women growing, and finding their callings despite the adversaries against them. I remember strongly connecting with the…
The Lion King — 1994
“I truly believe that my generation grew up in the golden age of Disney movies but I have always considered The Lion King a cut above the rest.”
National Treasure Blog
Here is a movie that makes no apologies. It is a crowd pleaser that takes itself serious enough to convey strong emotions and situations yet never attempts to be a serious, edgy oscar-worthy film. With its blistering pace, fun puzzles, and historical pieces it appeals to anyone able to check their triple-hopped IPA’s at the…
Predator 1987
Like any kid I always wanted to do what I wasn’t supposed to do, eat what I wasn’t supposed to eat, and watch what I wasn’t supposed to watch. Having an older brother meant that I knew there was all sorts of cool movies and shows out there that the adults were watching, but my…
