Alive - Director's Cut Edition 7 reviews
Hideo Sakaki, Ryô
Tokyo Shock, 2004
One of a kind.
Some movies can be compared to other movies but this stands alone. This runs along the lines of a pure thriller, a poke into the human mind, "how much can you take?" If your looking for somthing along the lines of "The Cell" and "Se7en" rent this before you buy it!

There Will Be Blood (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition) 344 reviews

Paramount, 2008
There Will Be ... Extras?
Daniel Day Lewis rightly deserved his Oscar for his performance as oil-man Daniel Plainview in this stunning film. The casting was perfect including Dillon Freasier as his adopted son H.W. As a young actor, I hope that we get to see more of him in the future.
With only a modest filmography, ...

A Montage of Mid-20th Century Cinema--Bravo Haynes, and a Glass to the Bard
+ excellent
There is something about "I'm Not There" that lets you know at once it is more than a biopic showing six different facets of the subject. Yes, the characters change from the exuberant, tall-tale telling Woody(Marcus Carl Franklin), to Arthur Rimbaud (Ben Wishaw), poet, being interrogated in a ...

A quite superb job from all the actors here. Oh, the subtlety. Byrne and Linney are fantastic. The atmospheric nuances of the cinematography are perfectly synchronized for effect. An ARTIST'S movie.

The Real Life of Angel Deverell (Angel) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Netherlands ] 2 reviews

One of his best!
+ FRANCOIS OZON, OPUS 10
This is one of Francois Ozon's best films. I've read mixed reviews about it and I believe that's the standard for most of his films. So I went ahead and checked this one out. I'm glad I did because I sincerely enjoyed it. The story was tight and the lead actress who played Angel was good. I've read ...

INGMAR BERGMAN, OPUS 26
*** 1964. Written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. A music critic tries in vain to meet a famous cellist in order to complete the biography he's writing about him. Strange comedy of the Swedish master who was aiming at teasing the people who gravitated around himself. ALL THESE WOMEN was also the ...

+ At last, REAL vampires!
+ Don't Expect Anne Rice's Kind Of Vampires In This Movie
I don't understand why this movie recieved poor reviews. The concept is excelent, the acting was pretty flawless, the FX were simple yet effective, and the vampires were the most ruthlessly frightening that I've seen in a very long time.
The only reason I can think of as to why certain viewers ...

Juliette Greco is perfection as the aging nightclub singer at a chic Paris boite, who sings to strangers night after night of a "street with no address." Irretrievably ravaged by time and perfidious love, Greco gives the part nearly everything she has; in her excellent Givenchy gown she bespeaks ...

I am amazed that this film was dismissed when it came out and sort of got lost in the shuffle. I just watched it and could not move from opening shot to the end. What an amazing film! You don't know who is the bad guy (or bad girl). What you think you see isn't what you think it is at all. The ...
