The Last Sign6 reviews

First Look International, 2005

Not what you'd expect.

A woman is widowed and trying to move on with her life but sees her husband and feels his pressence everywhere. She begins to get messages from him beyond the grave. It sounds scary, but it's more suspensful than actually scary. This movie was worth seeing, despite the sometimes poor acting, and ...
  
  











  



  
Battle of The Brave18 reviews
Noémie Godin-Vigneau, David La Haye

Sony Pictures, 2006

Wrong title, wrong expectations

The original version of this movie was titled "Nouvelle France". I do wonder sometimes who can came up with such a misleading title. The story, a battle of the spirit really, lacks cohesion and creates artificial drama. It seems the makers were not clear what to focus on - the love story or the ...

The Perfect Husband1 review
Tim Roth, Ana Belén

Bfs Entertainment, 2000

A satisfying period tale of intrigue

Having just viewed this film, I must say it makes for a pleasent evening's viewing. Revolving around two freinds Milian (Tim Roth), a gifted pianist and notorious womanizer, and Franz (Peter Firth), the manager of a luxery spa, who meet again after seven years. Set in 1900, the story opens with ...
  
  











  



  
Bodies, Rest & Motion10 reviews
Phoebe Cates, Bridget Fonda

Image Entertainment, 2003

Under-rated and under-recognized

+ A little too real, perhaps.

Despite the little attention this movie has gotten, and the varied, sporadic comments and reviews, "Bodies, Rest and Motion" is the most wonderful thing I have seen in years. The four actors (Fonda, Stoltz, Cates, and Roth) could not do better to bring to us a very subtle, touching, and elegant ...

Starz / Anchor Bay, 2008

A silly tale with a good soundtrack.

+ A Decent Adaptation of the Decameron

Decidedly euro film. One compared it to American Pie, which could be said to be true. Only without all the product placement and 'Americanism' of the American Pie series. American Pie succeeded based on certain criteria, I'm sure this film will do well as a rental item as well. Enjoy.

Where is Howard?

+ Caught between Earth and Sky
+ Don't Come Knocking Captures Butte

Wim Wenders returns with his used style; the search of the affective and emotional roots. As he showed us in Paris Texas, the first shot invites us to think in huge but desolate landscapes. Howard Spence (Sam Sheppard) is an actor who has lost his well known admiration, he is now at his fifties ...

Satirical Musical

+ No good deed goes unpunished
+ Woody Allen loses his mind--to the audience's advantage

I taped this movie a couple of months ago and didn't watch it right away because I read that it was a musical. I wasn't coming up with any good images of Woody Allen doing song and dance. Boredom prompted me to take a look and I liked what I saw. The plot of the movie is standard Woody ...

Gerard Depardieu is Brilliant

+ VATEL:Your life is not your own when owned by the King
+ Like "Babette's Feast" - this is a culinary gem.

Vatel, perhaps a weak title to a spectacular film; it recreates the excesses of the French court in its pre-off-with-their-heads-phase. In order to escape bankruptcy, the gout afflicted Viscount must entertain the King so sumptuously and so entreatingly, that the King may commission a war with ...

Anathema to say so in some quarters, but I preferred this to the original.

+ Hydro-Phobia...

I loved the original of "Dark Water" and expected to be disappointed by this, as in the terrible remake of "Ring", but I was very pleasantly surprised to find this was a most excellent movie and better than the original, in that this one didn't leave in what seemed like unnecessary parts, which in ...
