I had wanted to see `The Piano' for years, since I was about fifteen I think. I remember reading this extensive review for it lauding it as one of the most deeply moving and touching films of the 20th century. It took me until early this year before I actually got around to seeing it, and I must say that after a slew of repeat viewings I can honestly understand why that review held this film on ...             Black Sheep (Unrated)71 reviews Nathan Meister, Danielle Mason Weinstein Company, 2007 Have some cuddly horror with Vampire sheep As young boys, Angus Oldfield scares brother Henry by killing his pet sheep Dudley, then attacking him with the bloody head. Years later, Henry retains his phobia of sheep, though he must return to the farm for some business with Angus. Angus has been up to no good, genetically engineering a special breed of sheep to announce to the agricultural world as the Oldfield. In Angus's lab, ...             Flight of the Conchords - The Complete First Season194 reviews Jemaine Clement, Bret McKenzie Hbo Home Video, 2007 Great show! Really funny!! I loved this show but kept missing it on HBO so I was really happy when I saw it on sale on Amazon. This show is very funny but I also realize that it's humor may not appeal to everyone. And the songs were great.             The Quiet Earth50 reviews Bruno Lawrence, Alison Routledge Starz / Anchor Bay, 2006 One of those rare gems of a movie. Once upon a time this movie found its way to my local video rental store. It must have just come out because it was only there for a short time. As I browsed the sci-fi section looking for something new to watch I stumbled upon A Quiet Earth. It is really an interesting movie and I have always liked these types of movies. I won't spoil the plot for you but when I saw it on Amazon I bought ...             The World's Fastest Indian [Blu-ray]357 reviews Anthony Hopkins, Iain Rea Magnolia, 2007 A wonderful film with Hopkins at his best I had the pleasure of seeing the movie again recently and was reminded of just how wonderful a film this is. One of the best I have seen for a quite a while. Anthony Hopkins gives a compelling performance as a motorcycle enthusiast from New Zealand who comes to the USA for a land speed tournament on the Bonneville Salt Flats. His bike is cobbled together from parts including the hinge from a ...             Eagle vs. Shark26 reviews Taika Waititi, Joel Tobeck MIRAMAX, 2008 Eagle vs. Shark - Foreign Napoleon Dynamite? Charming Quirkiness , is what comes to mind for me when I think of this movie; I loved it and fell in love with the characters right away. This film is a bit sad - not in the "tragic" sense - but in the "people have difficulties" sense. Which does not diminish its charm. The heroine, Lily, is adorable, lovable and memorable; the picture of forgiveness and patience. I particularly loved ...             Dead Alive426 reviews Timothy Balme, Jed Brophy Lions Gate, 1998 Finally Delivers Dead Alive is one of the few films that actually delivers what it promises, it's got the gore. As far as the story is concerned, it's your typical flick, but this movie did something I have never seen in a horror movie before. My favorite scene is probably the girl who gets her head knocked into a light bulb and her head lights up like jack-o-lantern. If you like Evil Dead or Sean of the Dead, ...             Whale Rider269 reviews Keisha Castle-Hughes, Rawiri Paratene Sony Pictures, 2003 The Human Cost When Ancient Cultures Die The Whale Rider is fundamentally a beautiful and sad rendition of what happens to men and women when their culture is overcome by a more complex and expanding new culture. What makes this film special is the certainty of the love among all the generations in the community and family, even when individuals are making bad mistakes in how they treat each other. No matter these mistakes, the deep ...             The Frighteners153 reviews Trini Alvarado, John Astin Universal Pictures, 1998 Peter Jackson Rules!!! Great Movie! Great Actors! and Peter Jackson Rules!!!

This movie is awesome. From the very begining it is fast-paced(but not to fast)and breathtaking. With great actors, a wonderful plot, and amazing battle scenes, it will quench your thirst for a...um...thirst-quenching fantasy!             When Love Comes3 reviews Rena Owen, Dean O'Gorman Image Entertainment, 2002 Real life experience I loved the movie. Although the movie has its flaw(which movie doesn't) I really identified with the movie. You know there comes a time in a relationship where both partners have strong feelings for each other but at the same time both of them have a problem in communicating that message to one another as a result the relationship tends to sag. That's the message of movie-If you love someone tell ...             Heavenly Creatures160 reviews Jed Brophy, Pearl Carpenter Miramax, 2002 An impeccable film that captures the heart and chills the soul... Peter Jackson's savagely brilliant `Heavenly Creatures' has to be his finest cinematic moment. Sure, he astounded millions (and won Oscars) for his `Lord of the Rings' trilogy, but he has never been as honest and as human as he was with his delicate handling of this startling true life story. The film opens with a sequence as shocking as its conclusion; the image of two blood soaked teenage ...             The Big White [Blu-ray] Robin Williams, Holly Hunter Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, 2008 Now Available on Blu-Ray Disc On the brink of bankruptcy, Alaska travel agent Paul Barnell cooks up a scheme to pass off a dead body as his long-lost brother, Raymond, and then collect on his life insurance. But unfortunately, the investigator isn't buying the scam, the hit men responsible for the body want it back -- so they kidnap Paul's Tourette's afflicted wife -- and, to top it all off, Raymond shows up demanding a piece of action. So ...             Hayley Westenra - Live From New Zealand60 reviews Hayley Westenra Decca, 2005 Hayley I loved this DVD, and recommend it to everyone who loves music. Seeing her perform live takes her to a new level. My only regret is that she hasn't made any new one's that I know of. I don't hesitate to buy amy of her music. They haven't disappointed me yet. I hope you will like them as well.             Perfect Creature24 reviews Dougray Scott, Saffron Burrows 20th Century Fox, 2007 Steampunk Perfection Late last year I read the amazing book Wicked Gentlemen by Ginn Hale, an anachronistic mash-up of futuristic sci-fi technology and Victoriana, that served as my introduction to "steampunk," a genre of literature and film that I'd never heard of before. Perfect Creature, like Hale's book, is a steampunk thriller that pairs up a stoic police officer (Saffron Burrows) and an ethereal non-human ...             Once Were Warriors148 reviews Rena Owen, Temuera Morrison New Line Home Video, 2003 If the man wants some eggs, you cook him some F*****G EGGS! "Once Were Warriors" is a powerful tale of what it is like, to be treated as a stranger on your own land. It gives an intimate look of a people who have not quite shaken off their warrior roots, living in a society that rewards civility. SPOILER ALERT! X X X X X X X X X X X X Temuera Morrison and Rena Owen play Jake and Beth Heke, Parents of five, trying to make a ...             Sands of Iwo Jima38 reviews John Wayne, John Agar Lions Gate Home Entertainment, 1998 A Realistic Portrayal of WWII Pacific Combat Sergeant Stryker (John Wayne) must prepare his men for combat. He does! He subjects his men to rough bayonet drills and other forms of combat. Many modern war movies are sanitized of the realities of war. Not this one! There are numerous scenes of soldiers suffering and dying. There is a scene where a Jewish soldier says his last prayers in Hebrew. There is no happy ending for Sergeant Stryker ...             The Frighteners (Director's Cut)153 reviews Trini Alvarado, John Astin Universal Pictures, 2005 Peter Jackson Rules!!! Great Movie!

A DEAD baby." OK, I am admittedly an unabashed Jemaine Clement fan and think that Flight of the Conchords is one of the best comedy shows on TV right now. But in all honesty, I really didn't have high expectations for this film at the beginning. I thought it was likely to be a low-budget, testosterone-drenched, comedic tribute/spoof of Kung Fu movies. And...well...yes, that's exactly what it turned out to ...             The Tattooist8 reviews Jason Behr Sony Pictures, 2008 Surprised, I really enjoyed it. I was pleasantly surprised.
