With so many genres rolled into one, this flick's originality allows its occasional zaniness to be smoothly taken in stride. With an almost whimsical plot, it conveys a meaning, or maybe purpose, of death that is felt more than it is understood. This fascination with death is furthered through its illicit eroticism. Rupert Everett's acting was sublime, with a subtle sense of delivery that is masterful. His nearly mute sidekick was equally wonderful. Anna Falchi's presence is a blessing that will send most guys to church, begging for more. Michele Soavi's direction was simply perfect, and the stylish camera work was delivered with an unequaled flair. The production set was both low budget and incongruently elaborate. Like any meditation of death, this goes beyond a mortal's capacity of comprehension, making for a movie that would be appreciated by horror fans and the intelligentsia alike. Grazia.

Solid, imaginative flick.

Red Cliff (2008). This one is all about the grandeur of film making. Many complain that it was not historically by the book. What movie is? The story itself was decent, but this was John Woo, so we know what to expect. The acting was good, the fight scenes epic for their massive scale. The effects were overused but pretty decent nonetheless. A decent watch, but pretty long for what it was...

See No Evil aka Blind Terror (1971)



Darn! It just needed a little more solid ending with a little decent background of the killer. But loved the camera works & the initial concept of the story: recently blinded Sarah one day returned to her home, a country manor. She unknowingly sleeps overnight, among a houseful of corpses, arising the next morning to quietly creep out of bed, in order not to awaken 'the other members' of the household.

There will be a remake for sure.

Tekken (2010)



Mama's little boy fights for vengeance and lucky to got 2 chicks in the end.:D

Just saw Piranha 3D this morning.

I read that Dreyfuss reprises his role as Hooper in this. True? It's on my NetFlix queue, but I'd love to hear about it.

[missmacabre]

just got back from my first ever 3D movie in a theater. Piranha 3D was everything I expected it to be and more, but it could be the 3D virgin goggles talking. Dreyfuss was in it b ut not as Hooper. Jerry OConnell was fucking hilarious and over the top. Eli Roth plays yet another masoginistic woman hater. go figuuuure. Basically you've got boobs, blood and cheesy romantic subplot. Everything you could want in a b-movie.

The Conversation (1974). This multi-leveled psychological thriller from Coppola was subtle and sublime. With little action to drive it forward, its momentum is found in the tension built of the uncertain significance of what seems a simple conversation, one that drives our protagonist out of his shell and into an uncomfortably public world. A film for true movie-goers, the subtlety of its symbols are fun to pick out, with an ending that arrives perfectly too soon. Gene Hackman gives a brilliant performance as a wickedly private loner whose conscience compels him to open up, maybe for the worse. Laced with other greats, the cast was wonderfully utilized for effect. The story was well paced and and absolutely marvelous. Of course the direction was masterful, with equally adept camera work. A flick best seen more than once, this one should should enjoy at least one look by all. Merci beaucoup.

Caught the last half of 28 Days Later last night. I still think it's a crime to kill The Doctor.
