28 Days Later… (2002) – 3.5/5 Zombie movies pretty much get an automatic extra point from me b/c they’re awesome. I liked …

Cobra (1986) 1/5 Horrible. Just really bad: bad acting, dialog, action, premise, story, what-else? You name it, it’s bad. However, it’s quite …

The Queen (2006) I almost gave this a 4, but I just can’t say I “enjoyed” it that much, but I think …

Marley & Me (2008) – 4/5 Somewhat original, but also somewhat tried-and-true tearjerker. The acting was right-on and true to life which …
