A little remake that goes a long way.
To say that ouse on Haunted Hill is merely a remake is, perhaps naive. As an avid horror movie watcher, I have found this version of House of Haunted Hill to be my favortite. Although it does vary considerably from the original, the movie give the watcher the ability to consider it a new film. For a film made in 1999, the effects are of an ok level, although my only complaint is the poor use of ...

Visually and Musically Striking Portrait of Joy Division's Ian Curtis.
Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn made "Control" about the man and the band that brought him to England: Ian Curtis of Joy Division, which carried on as New Order after Curtis' death in 1980. "Control" follows Curtis' life from 1973-1980, starting with his high school days in Macclesfield with future wife Debbie (Samantha Morton), through joining a band with Bernard Sumner (James Anthony Pearson) ...

Pedro Almodovar Classics Collection

Todo sobre Pedro
Easily one of the best collections offered of one of the best contemporary directors. I was happy to see 'Matador' and 'Carne Tremula' (Live Flesh) included. They are two of my favorite movies and were a long time coming to DVD. I would have loved Tie Me Up Tie Me Down included, but I suppose you can't have it all. If you have never seen any of Almodovar's films, it might be wise to make a trip ...

the royal tenenbaums
I think that Wes Anderson has done a wonderful job directing this film. Initially upon the first viewing I wasn't a hundred percent in love with the movie, however this is the type of film that should be viewed more than once. Every time you watch it you learn something or catch some joke that you didn't notice before. This film does not use the typically blatant humor instead it is rye and witty ...

Universal Studios, 2002

Finally!!! A REAL horror film!!!!!
By and large, they really don't make horror movies any more. What, you might say? That's right, they don't. Rob Zombie once lamented that there were good horror movies in the 1930s, and then again in the 1970s, but not today. Well, there were also good horror movies in the 50s, 60s and 80s, but no, not today. Today we don't have horror movies, we have startle movies; we have "made you jump" ...

Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland

20th Century Fox, 2005

Oh, so THAT'S what's meant by "Southern Gothic"!
I went into this movie knowing nothing about it. I bought it because I liked the lead actresses and Joseph Cotten is always fun up on the screen. So imagine my surprise when, just a few minutes into the film, someone's hand gets rather graphically cut off! Not something I would've expected for 1965. The movie centers around Charlotte Hollis (Bette Davis), who lives in an old mansion. It was ...

Stephen King's The Shining (Two Disc Special Edition)

Stanley Anderson, Peter Boyles

Warner Home Video, 2003

Very true to the book written by Stephen King!
This is a great movie if you are the type of person who likes a movie about a book to be true to the book. In The Shining that was done by Stanley Kubrick, it was his "interpretation" of the book by Stephen King. And although it was a great movie on its own, it was not at all very true to the book. In this movie, which was a 3 night mini-series on ABC, Stephen King was allowed to make it almost ...

Bette Davis, Joan Crawford

Warner Home Video, 2006

Misery
I'm glad this was in black and white because on the back of the dvd case it showed pictures from the movie in colour. I'm not sure if I would want to see Bette Davis's face in colour because she is butt-ugly in this. Joan Crawford looked kind of "ill" in this movie, I don't know what she normally looks like, this was the first movie I've seen with her. I heard she was a pill popper so maybe ...

Most under rated movie of all time
I watched this movie for the first time about a year ago and was astounded at how well written and acted it is. It kept me on the edge on my seat !! What a great movie for the mid 1970s and made for TV ! It is in my top 10 favorites

Victor Verhaeghe, Mark Lindsay Chapman

Peace Arch, 2008

Good attempt - excellent acting
In early December 1980 Mark David Chapman killed John Lennon. John Lennon was not a mere celebrity at the time. He had moved beyond the Beatles and formed a solo career where he was spreading a message that was clicking with society as the message of love and unity in a time when the country was in deep turmoil. This independant film is handled with a lot of care and great detail. Jared ...

LOVE this movie!
My man LOVES this movie! I just watched it myself and I thought it was both really sweet and funny (in a dark comedy sorta way)! Edward Norton and Robin Williams are fantastic! My boyfriend even has a tatoo of Smoochy on his left forearm!

Lionsgate Home Entertainment, 2007

This "Bug" has Bite!
This is one of those films in whether you love it, or you hate it. If you're a fan of Friedkin's other works (The Exorcist, The Sorcerer), then this one has all the tension cranked up on full load. Some of the other reviewers gave this 1 Star, but that is probably because this is not an easy film to watch, almost to a point of not wanting to look at the images Friedkin throws at the audience. But ...

Paramount, 2003

A beautiful and unforgettable film
This movie unforgettable and each time I watch it I find something new that make me look at life and relationships and death. The cast is first-rate, from Steep, Moore and Kidman to the smallest of roles. The acting, the writing, the editing and the music are all excellent. The extra features are first-rate as well. This film is one of the top ten movies I have ever seen. I can watch it ...

A Fascinating Take on Lem's Sci-fi Classic
S. Soderbergh's Solaris can barely be called an adaptation of S. Lem's novel, nor can it accurately be called a remake of the 1972 Russian film. However, when viewed without prejudice it is a fantastic film stylistically, as well as in terms of story and character development. Soderbergh ignores the technical and scientific aspects of Lem's novel and focuses on the human story instead. From ...

Inspiring
Simply inspiring. As a parent of a child who died from cancer, it was difficult to watch from the beginning. However, I looked beyond the initial reaction to see the spiritual side of this great movie. I'm glad I struggled to watch it because it brought me into a different light. The performances were fantastic.

MIRAMAX

The Tortured (Norwegian) Artist Effect.....
Two young writers, good friends, are headed on different trajectories. One (Phillip) gets published first, but later (for reasons murky) has a nervous breakdown. The other (Erik) one seems more screwed on and publishes later. They faces professional challenges, the problems of relationships and personal demons. Viktoria Winge is fetching as Kari, the girlfriend of Phillip. REPRISE has ...

The Call of Cthulhu: The Celebrated Story by H.P. Lovecraft

Amazing
One of the best Cthulhu movies I have ever seen. It manages to catch the feel and look of Lovecraft and combine it with a silent film. I highly recommend this DVD.

Mental Illness Brought to the Screen Like Never Before
A Beautiful Mind is one of those rare movies that grace the silver screen once in a lifetime and touch our hearts and our minds in ways that other films which have attempted to replicate with similar material, have yet to achieve. For years movie goers have witnessed the world of mental illness and its horrors from an outside perspective, much like visitors to a zoo, observing life in captivity ...

Halle Berry

Warner Home Video, 2007

Halle Berry is Great in this Movie
This movie is so good!!! I don't see how this one bombed at the box office. This movie was so different from your average scary movie movie. It is something we have not seen. It is like a horror/thriller. The acting was great, the movie could have been presented a little bit differently. Other than that it was $10.00 well spent.
