Does a film about a sword-fighting, evil-hunting, scenery-chewing 17th century Puritan count as a Thanksgiving movie? Well, even if it doesn't, I think it's time for me to finally knock Solomon Kane off my to-review list, where it's been since I first thought about doing this blog.

I'm not a big fan of horror movies, aside from some of the classic Universal films and the first Scream (and the third one wasn't bad). However, Shadow of the Vampire was a refreshing twist on the genre, thanks to a clever premise and a great Willem Dafoe performance. (Originally posted on Channel Awesome on August 18, 2014)
I am not by any means a Keanu Reeves fan (of his acting, anyway - he's a decent guy in real life). I am, however, a huge fan of martial arts movies and actors playing against type. With Reeves not only playing the villain but also making his directorial debut, Man of Tai Chi definitely got my attention. However, I wasn't expecting to like this movie as much as I did.

The most expensive Spanish film ever made, Alatriste is an adaptation of the "Captain Alatriste" series - and I do mean it's an adaptation of the series, as the film tries to literally cram the first five books into a single movie. |
