Primer 138 reviews Brandon Blagg, Keith Bradshaw
New Line Home Video, 2005
Brilliant, Clever, and Entertaining
+ What if real engineers made a real time machine? + Primer - a Thought Experiment
It's very brilliant in it's attention to details, and poses many questions and theories in regards to paradox, existence, physics, and relativity. The filmmakers went all out with their attention to the subject matter.
The story itself is amazing. Filled with clever,unexpected but sensible ...

Calvaire: The Ordeal 21 reviews Laurent Lucas, Jackie Berroyer
Palm Pictures / Umvd, 2006
The Ordeal indeed
+ it was different....
The twisted, bizarre story of Calvaire where madness and perversion are the themes, rocked me to the core. Throughout, my eyes were glued to the screen and my jaw on the ground; however, nothing in the film was done for shock value and every line and action had meaning. At the end, the viewer is ...

Intacto 21 reviews Leonardo Sbaraglia, Eusebio Poncela
Lions Gate, 2003
Great story!
+ Excellento. + Facinating blend of 'Deer Hunter' Premise and Twilight Zone
I didn't mind the subtitles at all, for this movie has a great deal going on and you are soon submerged in the story. A man who survived a Nazi concentration camp believes good and bad luck can be 'transferred'. He runs a casino where luck is vital to the players and many often have 'high stakes' ...

Lie With Me 63 reviews Lauren Lee Smith, Eric Balfour
Velocity / Thinkfilm, 2006
Extremes
+ Quiet, yet moving
I was skeptical about watching this movie because of the mixed reviews, saying it's not very emotional, even empty in places. But its not empty at all, very powerful in fact. The main character explains who she is from the very beginning. It sets the tone for understanding what she does throughout ...

Ellie Parker 18 reviews Chevy Chase, Robbi Chong
Strand Releasing, 2006
Naomi Watts gives a as-good-as-it-gets performance
+ Cool look inside the Hollyweird Wannabee Society
Saw a snippet of this on the Sundance channel and it looked so different and interesting I immediately went out and rented the dvd. That different look comes from that the movie was "shot on a Sony DCR PC 100" as the end credits spell out. But really, that is just one facet of an overall picture ...

Time Code 40 reviews Jeanne Tripplehorn, Stellan Skarsgård
Sony Pictures, 2000
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 ...
