Steampunk Perfection
Late last year I read the amazing book Wicked Gentlemen by Ginn Hale, an anachronistic mash-up of futuristic sci-fi technology and Victoriana, that served as my introduction to "steampunk," a genre of literature and film that I'd never heard of before. Perfect Creature, like Hale's book, is a steampunk thriller that pairs up a stoic police officer (Saffron Burrows) and an ethereal non-human ...

Elements of Comedy and Sorrow
This is a movie that touches your heart. Lush and green (of course) is the rich background of this Irish film, the girls are all dolls and it's an enriching film to watch. Once you've watched it , you can't forget it as it starts with childhood and ends at the brim of adulthood, giving us, the viewers something we can all recognize,which is friendship.

Best movie of 2008 (so far).
For an hour and fifty minutes, this movie manages to achieve something no Hollywood product has done all year: sustain a non-stop level of excitement and interest. Very seldom do I purchase a DVD just on the basis of the Amazon.com reviews and recomendations and I'm glad because up to this point of the year (October 13th.), it's the best film I've seen all year. There were even a couple of jokes ...

Don Cheadle plays a Dentist who runs into Sandler's character on the street. Cheadle and Sandler used to be college roommates studying to become dentists. The two start talking and catching up. Cheadle soon realizes that Sandler needs mental help and tries to ...

A great underappreciated film
Look, im not ripping on Jaws here in any way. Jaws is great, it literally caused mass panic people believed what they see. Here not so much, However, this movie is amazing. The acting is superb, and not cheesy, the storyline flows together, and its action packed. This movie constantly suprised me, and in my opinion its the best shark movie ever made. I love Jaws, but at times its too slow, plus ...

The Matchmaker
Originally saw this movie on WE several winters ago and fell in love with it. I have enjoyed other Irish movies and this one did not disappoint. I loved all of the quirkiness of the characters and the story in this charming little movie. I have always loved the humor of the British Isles. I would definitely recommend this movie, as it not only makes you laugh, but it also warms your ...

I am impressed!
Yes, I am impressed! I remember playing the video games of the same name back in the day, and this movie stuck to the plot of the games as best it could. Decent sci-fi action, and decent acting make for an enjoyable movie.

Not Avail, 2000

Simply a masterpiece...
It's movies like this that restore one's faith in the movie business. Sure, this movie is based on a play and some may find it stagey or theatrical, but it is, nonetheless, as powerful a movie experience as this particular reviewer has ever had. Saffron Burrows brings quite a bit to the table here: the depth of her concentration and commitment to the role of Miss Julie is transcendent and ...

3 Stars for New Orleans, Lousiana
Burt Reynolds and New Orleans. First thought is of Smoky and the Bandit. No such luck, this is a movie adapted for cable and television because, well, because it wasn't quite good enough for the theatre. Hot, steamy and tropical, New Orleans; yes, NOLA is all that. So three stars for NOLA. This movie, "Tempted" takes place in New Orleans, but it is a typical romance, thriller, mystery. ...

Clever, but also a bit narcissistic
Whatever. I mean, I appreciate the experimental nature of the film -- the screen split into four separate-but-interlocking screens, each shot in a continuously-running tracking shot, filmed on digital video. The "action" shifts from scene to improvised scene, and gradually we figure out how each of the characters know each other. Still... did the story really have to be set in (yawn) ...

King F-ing Kong
Truly Remarkable, British Film. I have watched this film 18 times but I still love it. It will have you crying, cringing, laughing, and watching over and over again. Paul Bettany's character is completely opposite to the one he plays in Wimbledon, which proves that he has talent to pull off the challenging task of acting out gangsta's role. A man that takes the meaning of 'gangsta' to a new ...

An Unexpected Sequel
As Henry Fool is among my top 10 favorite films, I was shocked, surprised, baffled I'd never before heard of a "sequel" until told by my brother a few months ago. I wrestled with watching, not wanting to spoil a nearly perfect film memory with a substandard follow-up. I needn't have waited, as Fay Grim finds Hartley and Co. in as fine a form as ever, the characters we fell in love with in ...

a film I can rewatch again and again
This is a superb, beautiful film, cleverly making the dull work of codebreaking at Bletchley into a great thriller. Whatever inaccuracies experts so love pointing out, this as a film is wonderful and one I can rewatch a million times over. I only wish they could make more films on this theme with this cast!

Allegory
Just as Klimt defined his work as allegory so too is the film Klimt. It is a representation of Klimt the man, the artist in allegorical, surrealistic terms. It is intended as anything but a literal biography or any other literal representation of plot, story, much less traditional notions of character development. The film maker has achieved near perfection in his presentation of Klimt, his work, ...
