About the blog:

Well, hello! Thanks for stopping by to read my opinions about movies that I see. Some are older and most are new. Some I go to see in the theaters (both live performances and movies) and some I watch from the comfort of my own couch and even more, I will watch from the amazing Netflix app. Of course, these will be my personal thoughts about the targeted item, however, it will give you an idea of whether it's a colossal waste of time or worth a shot!

MY REVIEW:
You know, I wasn't thinking this would be a great movie, I expected a mediocre film with pretty sets. I was surprised. Yeah, the acting was not the best, but the sets were out of this world!

My MOST favorite part of the movie is the lead, Frank, played by Australian actor Richard Roxburgh, and his repetition of one of my favorite poems in the whole world. Kuala Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge....

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to the sunless sea.

It was likely chosen because of the whole caverns phrase.. but it was perfect and I enjoyed hearing it on screen. {Insert happy face}

I really enjoy the story and the perilous feeling that this movie gave. If you get a chance to see it in 3D, all the better.
