Candyman (1992) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Some urban legend is too (un)real

Posted on October 30, 2010 by kaist455

 “Candyman”(1992) is something we do not come across often. It is not only a scary movie but also an evocative horror movie with the intriguing idea about urban legends. We all know the urban legends have the roots in our … Continue reading →

The Unjust (2010) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Mean System

Posted on October 30, 2010 by kaist455

The President’s Analyst (1967) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : The loneliest (and the most paranoidal) analyst in the world
