I can't understand all the praise for this film.Now I am a big fan of hard hitting American crime movies like Goodfellas,Mean Streets,Casino,American Gangster etc,but this one failed to move me.The music was intrusive and not ''of the time'',some of the outdoor sets looked like cardboard,and the main players were all stereotypes.Sean Connery as the old tired Irish cop mumbled his way through the film with a strange mid Atlantic Celtic(Scottish or Irish??) accent,and the guy who played the accountant just had to have a big pipe to smoke to scream NERD.Even he becomes a hero in the ambush at the Canadian border where they all miraculously turned in to expert horsemen.
All too obvious.And those silly episodes at Ness's home with his perfect ... Read More:

It might be a little slow in getting started which might but people off but it just adds to the magic of the story. I couldnt believe it when I read that this was a flop at the box office, I really enjoyed it.

It's a beautiful story about two people who think they have found love really find it. Meryl Streep & Robert De Nero was inspiring and truley believeable as Molly & Frank.

When you watch a Shane Meadows film you expect natural performances and housing estate based drama - and it's all here in a fantastically realistic package.

This film is essentially the story of Romeo and Gavin, two schoolboy friends whose friendship is threatened when a third member joins the tight group. The 'third member'; Morell, a twenty-something man seems like a nice-enough guy though a bit socially awkward and perhaps a bit slow. He divides the two friends after becoming obsessed by Romeo's sister and his darker side starts to expose the unhinged aspect of his personality.

Meadows' demonstrates his abilities to present the emotional aspects of men in his films. Be it a broken father trying to wriggle back into the lives of his ex-wife and ... Read More:

Revised review Dec 02/08. (see P.P.S.)

Let me start off by saying that Giselle is my favorite ballet; I love the story, the music and the dance.

This performance was recorded in 2006 at the Royal Opera House, Covent Gardens, London and stars Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobberg in the principal roles.

This is probably the best danced and finest interpretation of this magnificent ballet I've ever seen. I initially saw this at a movie theater with about 200+ people; you could have heard a pin drop during many of the pas de deux between Cojocaru and Kobberg, they were that stirring to watch.

There was so much to like about this performance...let me elaborate,

the Pros:

1.)The costumes for the peasants, the ... Read More:

I sometimes enjoy annoying 'serious filmgoers' by trying to convince them that American Beauty is not as good a film as American Pie. The fact is, I actually believe that. But if you really want to get them, tell them this film is better than The Exorcist. They'll go bananas - but it's true!

I agree that The Exorcist came first, but this is a vast improvement. The best thing about The Exorcist was the sound. That says it all really. It succeeded because, at the time, people thought that being posessed by The Devil was fair enough. In today's more secular age, where even the buses tell you there's probably no God (much less The Devil), it's hard not to find The Exorcist incredibly boring, slow-moving and frequently unintentionally funny. The fact that it has been parodied ... Read More:

DVD : The Omen

The Omen


starring: Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, Harvey Stephens, David Warner, Billie Whitelaw
directed by: Richard Donner
June 04, 2001


Whilst having slight credibility faults, being a bit hammy and over written, this film scared the hell out of me on first viewing, by conventional means of plot: some worrying events leading to a realisation of things wrong, a build up of tension, and some bonkers characters. Thankfully, no ludicrous spinning heads or projectile vomit in sight, to spoil the tension with unintentional comedy. This film was a very welcome return to old film values as mentioned above. It simply cranked up the scare factor from mildly scary Hammer film level to post Exorcist, demonic possession level. This one idea, the theme itself, seemed to be the only thing borrowed from its more celebrated, more notorious precursor. And what a relief that was. It is well paced, well cast, using quality character actors instead ... Read More:

Casualties Of War [1989]


starring: Michael J. Fox, Sean Penn, Don Harvey, John C. Reilly, John Leguizamo
directed by: Brian De Palma
October 11, 2004


Sean Penn is the best that I have ever seen him in this film. This is a film about soldiers that have gone wild in Vietnam - a law unto themselves. Yet the motivations of the individual soldiers for doing what they do (in other words becoming a law unto themselves) are very different. Having said that the one thread that brings out, or acts as a catalyst in bringing out, the different manifestations of evil in these soldiers, I felt, was the dominant suffusion of evil emitting from Sean Penn's character. This suffusion of evil is almost spell-binding and all weaker mortals can do, it seems, is follow (or in the case of the viewer is watch). It is this evil that is so strongly influencing those around him that truly makes this film a true masterpiece. The others followed as right became wrong and wrong ... Read More:
