Wolf Creek 237 reviews Nathan Phillips, Cassandra Magrath
Weinstein Company, 2006
Top quality horror
+ JUST A HEAD ON A STICK.....
Although you could argue that this falls into the recent spate of torture-porn films, in fact its vastly superior to all of these. Yes it follows the old pattern of young good-looking people getting into trouble, but it does it with a verve and style that is missing form say Hostel and Capture.

Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me 198 reviews Mädchen Amick, Dana Ashbrook
New Line Home Video, 2002
Never have seen Twin Peaks series. Good film, excellent music
I have never seen the Twin Peaks TV series, I did not know anything about Laura Palmer, so my review is not biased or comparative. I catched this film on TV, I knew it was David Lynch from minute one.
Here Lynch is totally unleashed, and yes, the story sometimes can turn confusing, but the ...

Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 (Box Set) 12 reviews Uma Thurman, David Carradine
Miramax
A Fitting Tribute...
+ TARANTINO'S OPUS
...to an era-gone-by. I won't make this wordy, because I feel that other users have written reviews that more than amply describe the details of this two-part cinematic masterpiece.
Everything in this movie, and I mean /everything/ is the ghostly image of something from the golden age of kung-fu ...

Napoleon Dynamite 1387 reviews Jon Heder, Efren Ramirez
20th Century Fox, 2004
It grows on you
+ not a comedy at all, but worth watching at least once
I am a high school teacher, that being said, I decided on the last day of
school that as a treat we would watch a movie. I borrowed Napoleon Dynamite from my brothers vast DVD collection. I had no idea what the movie was about but my students told me it was funny. I looked it up on IMDB to see its ...

Another Film du noir

The Straight Story 218 reviews Richard Farnsworth, Sissy Spacek
My Favorite Film
+ a rewarding film + Something different
In 1999, one of the most unusual pairings in Hollywood history formed to make a film telling the story of Alvin Straight's odyssey: David Lynch and Walt Disney Pictures. Lynch, arguably one of film's more daring storytellers, the mind behind Eraserhead, Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks, is absolutely the ...

Cape Fear 105 reviews Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte
Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2005
Have no fear, this movie delivers beyond expectations...
+ It scared me to death + "You were my lawyer!",
First things first; Robert De Niro is a force in `Cape Fear'; a major force that permeates every scene of the film, even the once he doesn't physically inhabit, and proves to be spine chilling to the maximum effect. Everything, from his swagger to his accent to his piercing stare, is utterly ...

The Machinist 207 reviews Christian Bale, Jennifer Jason Leigh
Paramount, 2005
I'm going out on a limb here...
+ Wow ... This Movie Freaked Me Out + Super Skinny Batman!
Christian Bale is the new Marlon Brando. That's my take. I'd seen every one of his films before this (except for the latest Batman) and thought I had witnessed his best performances but no - this is his greatest. I am a complete and total CB fan. I hate movies like Batman and The Terminator, ...

Love & a .45

20th Century Fox, 2002
The most intelligent movie ever made! Seriously.
+ One of my favorites + Its Name is Robert Paulson
I RARELY watch the same movie twice... so of course I wouldn't go to the same movie twice in the theatre. I did for Fight Club. 2 times in the theatre, every time it's on TV and finally I bought the Collector's Edition DVD, which I've watched twice so far.
The movie is an intelligent view of ...

The Usual Suspects 555 reviews Stephen Baldwin, Gabriel Byrne

One surprise after another. I could never guess what's happening next, especially the ending. No wonder it got 2 Ocars in 1996
+ Looking For Something Different? Check This Film Out! + Appreciate honesty and good business!
It contains one surprise after another. I could never guess what's happening next, especially the ending.
If you like a different story with unexpected turns. This is a MUST-SEE.
The ony trouble is after you watch it once, the second time is not as suspenseful any more because you already ...
