Yet another minor masterpiece from wunderkind Scorsese, however this movie is somewhat dated. The music is without a doubt 1980s. Who could forget Tom Cruise running the table while "doing the Wearwolves of London." Not an image that leaves my head with any immediacy. The director (have I mentioned its Martin Scorsese yet?) seems to be quite inventive with many different types of camera shots on the pool table... but its almost too much. It seems he pulls all of his tricks and it turns into a dog and pony show.
The Hustler was a little more down to earth. It was more of a drama about alcoholism and self-destruction; where as The Color of Money is more of a fun pool-action and redemption of character film (more akin to Rounders ... Read More:

It isn't hard to see why this is a classic amongst lesbians the world over. One of the first (if not the first?) to have a relatively happy ending for the couple and show a love scene between two women.
The story is passionate and realistic in the emotions of fear, longing, love and confusion that are felt by Cay and Vivian. Beautifully filmed with one of the best soundtracks ever - if you like (old) country music!
I can't sing enough praises and I've already watched it about 3/4times in the space of a couple of weeks.
George Lutz and Kathy Lutz, recently married and buying a house together, Kathy has her kids from her previous marriage but George loves them and intends to riase them as his own. The house they view seems too good to be true, its huge, three floors, cabin to keep the family boat in and a potting shed.
They love it from the start.
The house has a past and they are aware of that, a young man slaughtered his family there in the night and later claimed voices told him to do it. Still, they move in because the house is far more than they could hope to ever afford had it not got a chequered past.
They are happy - settling in and getting the place decorated and such, the daugther claims to have made an imaginary friend, the troubling thing is that ... Read More:

I watched this programme 10 years ago on a Tuesday night on channel 5 and was hooked - even if the picture was very grainy. They ran 2 episodes back to back and it was fantastic. So when the first series was released a year and a half ago I preordered it and waited with fear and baited breath - I wasn't let down. I had feared that time would have given my memory the usual rosey glow, and though the memories of a couple of the episodes were more detailed than the episodes themselves I found that these were great to watch.
Some extras would have been nice - region 2 = second class citizen again.
If you're looking for a great series that you can sit down and watch without obsenities and naked bits being flashed at the camera, then this is for you. ... Read More:
