Landmark After Dark

Here's a life lesson for you: What should you do if an eccentric billionaire extends an invitation to you to check out his scary, dinosaur-infested remote tropical island? YOU SAY NO, that's what!

But... luckily for us action moviegoers, there's always a bunch of unfortunate character actors willing to step into the-- ahem-- jaws of danger and give it a go for you! Sam Neill repeatedly saves the day (and the annoying kids,) Laura Dern screams like nobody's business, Sir Richard Attenborough shows up long enough to collect his paycheck and Jeff Goldblum constantly repeats the moral of the story just in case you missed it the first five times-- all while the audience keeps their eyes glued to the real stars: the Dinosaurs. And are they ever amazing. Bring your earplugs to this one-- we're going to let that T-rex roar like it owns this damn town!

Another Hayao Miyazaki classic, this film is a tale involving a hard-working teenage girl named Sophie who encounters a mysterious wizard named Howl, an envious Witch of the Waste (who transforms Sophie into an old, haggard woman), and a romantic adventure that pales in comparison to any other.

            This movie is quite literally magical, a visual fairytale the whole family will enjoy with wide-eyed amazement.  Ghibli Studios, Japan, known for the masterpiece of Spirited Away, does something even more stunning and inspiring in this tale that brings it all to the table:  the cost of loneliness, the burden of vanity, the loveliness of maturity, and the outward-versus-inward struggle of beauty.
            Surely, there’s few movies, let alone animated features, that’ll give the heart an adventure to grab hold of, even after it reluctantly ends, than Howl’s Moving Castle.  Truly a worth-wild fantasy to behold!

Here’s another rip-roaring thrill ride!  Honestly, there’s never enough Steven Spielberg, at least when it comes to his old work, but one definitely could not be without a healthy dose of our favorite professor/archeologist/action-hero:  Indiana Jones (played by Harrison Ford, of course).  If there’s a general consensus upon what a good Indiana Jones film should be, this movie proves that there’s no need for Nazi bad guys, nor is there a need to chase ancient arches or grails.  This movie proves all a good Indiana Jones film needs is the usual outfit, the usual whip, the usual whit and romance, even a shiny treasure to throw in for good measure... and most of all, it needs booby traps.  In this movie, there’s no such thing as too many booby traps.

If you have the most unusual, ectoplasm-based pest, who you gonna call?  Of course, you can’t trust just the usual brand of insect spray or a service that can’t even do any damage to your undead pests.  No, all that’s needed is three scientists with quirky suits, laser guns, and an awesome vacuum-like device to trap those ghosts.  Through some disaster, laughter, and fun-filled entertainment, you now have the complete Ghostbusters service experience.
