The Murray State News Blogs

I love movies. Although, I haven’t always been a movie buff. My love for movies started about 3 years ago. Now, I’m at the point where I watch about 3-5 movies a week. I have no particular genre that I watch more than the others but I do enjoy a great horror film. This blog will take you to the movies I recommend. Some I will love; some I won’t. I’ll start off with the Top 5 movies (in no particular order)  I think you should watch right now. So, go hit up Netflix or your local movie store.

1. Waitress- Keri Russell (of Felicity fame) stars as a unhappily pregnant waitress in the South. This movie moved me. The opening cinematography is excellent. It’s a very creative film to say the least. Also, one of my favorites.

2. The Dark Knight-If you haven’t seen this already, you must literally live under a rock. The best Batman thus far.

3. Kung Fu Hustle- Set in the 1940s, a wannabe gangster decides he wants to join the notorious “Axe Gang.” This has highly choreographed kung fu mixed with supernatural powers. Think Heroes meets Enter the Dragon.

4. East of Eden- James Dean stars as a son that feels that he needs to compete with his brother for the love of their father. This is James Dean at his best.

5. Nosferatu- This is my favorite horror film of all time. This is also the first vampire film that’s been made. An interesting rumor about the movie is that Max Schreck, Count Orlok, believed he was really a vampire.
