I once had to do this as coursework in school, I (against my will) have seen the whole movie and the only word I can choose to describe this is, BORING.

VHS : Schindler's List [1994][VHS tape]

Schindler's List [1994][VHS tape]


starring: Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Kingsley, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagall
directed by: Steven Spielberg
April 12, 2004


In telling Schindler's story the director chose black and white and the beginning intimates that it might be in the great tradition of 'The Third Man' etc. Unfortunately the film meanders astray into detailed descriptions of the holocaust and the dynamic of the film is lost. Instead of a tense 1 hour 50 minutes of cunning,guile and threat there are literal hours when almost everything is 'spelt out' in many long takes and diversions. The great film techniques of suggestion and inference are little used as almost every action is shown literally and dramatic movement is lost to history lesson. It seems to me important that the dramatic 'backdrop' of any artistic production has to be understood and accepted for the story using that scenario to ... Read More:

VHS : Without A Clue [1988]

Without A Clue [1988]


starring: Michael Caine, Ben Kingsley, Jeffrey Jones, Lysette Anthony, Paul Freeman
directed by: Thom Eberhardt
April 10, 2000


Dr. Watson has a problem. He's always been the brains behind Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character he dreamed up as cover for the cases he has solved. He even hired a third-rate ham actor, Reginald Kincaid, to impersonate Holmes. But now he's fed up with the fatuous dimwit Kincaid whom everyone is fascinated by and who seems to believe his own notices. He longs to be known as John Watson, Crime Doctor, and to receive the recognition due him for his amazing deductive powers.

That's the set up, and it's a funny one, especially with two first-rate actors as Ben Kingsley playing Watson and Michael Caine playing Kincaid. Watson finally boots out Kincaid and decides to solve a case as himself...but no one is prepared to take Dr. Watson seriously ... Read More:

This is one of those films few people remember, and the ones that do, are left wondering why. This is one of the best films I watched when I was a kid, it's mint as.
To be fair, if I watched it now...probably not nearly as good..kinda like neverending story....but still!! quality!

VHS : Species [1995]

Species [1995]


starring: Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Alfred Molina, Forest Whitaker, Marg Helgenberger
directed by: Roger Donaldson
February 01, 2000


The idea behind the plot is good, but as most of the concept is borrowed from Alien, and Giger obviously didn't work too hard on an original idea, it makes it to the end of the train journey before you spot the cliches, and the blatent copying. Which covers the first twenty minutes.

Woefully miscast, with Marg Helgenberger essentially doing what she now does in CSI, Alfred Molina seriously out of place, and Forest Whitaker being ignored most of the time, when you can see he's right.

Since the entire plot consists of the foursome trying to track the alien, getting picked off one by one and eventually burning it, not forgetting the unnoticed baby with the reptilian tongue, its a small wonder that this one was allowed to escape the storyboard, ... Read More:

VHS : Death And The Maiden [1995]

Death And The Maiden [1995]


starring: Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, Stuart Wilson, Krystia Mova, Jonathan Vega
directed by: Roman Polanski
April 12, 1999


Roman Polanski has a knack for great film making: "Knife in the Water," "Bitter Moon," and "Repulsion" are just some, thought they share a common thread--that of human corruption and a road you'd never think yourself on. "Death and the Maiden" is no different in this respect, though this is one of his more brilliant productions. While Sigourney Weaver is a perfect neurotic wife who thinks she recognizes a former torturer of hers (that her husband brings home, nevertheless), it is Ben Kingsley (the alledged torturer) who steals the show. Not since his "Ghandi" have I been so riveted to the screen. Watching this, you'll think he's just great, but wait for the last fifteen minutes of the film and he will blow your mind completely. The camera stays on him as he transforms himself ... Read More:

Tuck Everlasting [2002]

directed by: Jay Russell
December 08, 2003


I have just brought this title after seeing the film on sky movies, I have not read the book, but Im not sure I need to.
I dare anyone to watch this and not be thinking about it and the
questions it raises for days afterwards. It is an absolutely brilliant and thought provoking film, especially when Jesse returns, youl understand this sentence if you watch the film.
It leaves me with many thoughts to think about and I have now watched this four times and still end up thinking deeply about it afterwards. The romance added in the film which apparently isnt in the book, just makes the film and makes for alot more deep thinking. A truly wonderful film and I dont say this lightly I dont think Ive ever reviewed anything else I have read or seen. Fantastic, a film to treasure ... Read More:
