Do you consider yourself a bona- fide movie critic? Let’s face it, all of us do. It is a part of human nature, our right to critique the arts. The first thing you hear when a movie ends is chattering, voices from the audience expressing their opinions.

Did you have to explain the ending of “Fight Club” to someone? Is “Blade Runner” the best Sci-fi movie ever! Is “Bram Stokers Dracula” better than “Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein”? Is Edward Norton a better actor than Johnny Depp? Is Kate Beckinsale hotter than Rose McGowan? We will leave all of that up to you.

Who doesn't love a great movie about vampires, brain sucking zombies, hairy scary warewolves, or the ever intrusive poltergeist! Do you have a soft spot for B movie horror flicks? What ever your choice of film, we all love the excitement of watching a great movie. Book mark this page and keep coming back to us. We might remind you of that classic film long ago forgotten.

Please enjoy our recommendations. We will feature cult classics, indie favorites, horror, psychological thrillers, current films as well as coming attractions, etc.

So grab a soft drink, a bucket of popcorn and check out our feature film.

 Cinema Paradiso

Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore

I have heard about Cinema Paradiso for about 14 years now. It is one of the movies that my father told me I needed to see. I kept on overlooking it for many years. Till finally I was caught up for a couple hours in the foreign section of my local video store.

Cinema Paradiso is a fantastic movie for anyone who passionately loves film! This movie is about a famous Italian film director named Salvatore Di Vita, who upon receiving word that his childhood mentor, Alfredo passed away begins to reminisce about his up bringing and his love of film.

Salvatore reflects back on the town he left behind for 30 years and through his memories takes us on a journey of boy hood friendships, everlasting love, heart ache and the love of movies.

Alfredo, is an elderly man who works as the projectionist in the village theater. Salvatore always finds a way to pester Alfredo, who has to snip love scenes from the film as the priest gives his seal of approval on films that are to be featured. Salvatore's father was killed in the war and Alfredo served as Salvatore's surrogate father and the two became an unlikely pair. Alfredo believes that Salvatore is special and will not give up on the idea that Salvatore is destined for greatness. 

 Salvatore falls in love with Elena, who comes from a well to do family. Elena's father strongly opposes the relationship and goes to great lengths to separate the two young lovers. Ultimately it is Alfredo who intervenes in a way that changes Salvatore's destiny forever.

It may have taken me 14 years to see this movie but it was well worth the wait! I was intrigued and loved every minute of this movie. The original language of this film is in Italian. If you do not speak Italian be prepared to read subtitles.
