Bold simple London crime drama
on June 10, 2012
Posted by: Tigon
from California
Written and directed by the screenwriter of 'The Departed', fans of the latter film could give this one a see. Farrell and Knightley play well on rommance, Ray Winstone as the bad guy is good; Cut and dry British crime drama with great sets & locale, no memorable moments, near predictable in select parts as a crime drama. Fans of any listed actor may enjoy, but the movie could pass for an old TV plot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Intriguing psychology drama
on May 25, 2012
Posted by: Tigon
from California
From director David Cronenberg of 1980's 'The Fly' and 'History of Violence', 'A Dangerous Method' is a historical fictional exerpt set to 18th Century Vienna on the introduction of psychology, a must see.
A fascinating period piece which blends drama, ideologies, love, tryst and derrivative history; psychologist allies turned rivals Carl Jung & Sigmund Freud debacle ideals while setting to defend their science in midst of scandal with Jung's patient then mistress played by Knightley. A great movie to college film class neither preachy or sappy, the movie challenges thought on humanism and the science of human behavior very well.
What's great about it: Actors, plot, intelligent themes, good period piece
What's not so great: Suggestive themes, discretion advised, slow paced

Dry Jewish Mobster Comedy Sleeper
on May 23, 2012
Posted by: Tigon
from California
Dry Jewish humor, a few brotherly moments, little action or slapstick, and alot of talking go on in this 1998 movie involving a pair of sad-sack lounge singers confused for sad-sack safecrackers employed by a gruff Jewish mob boss. If your a fan of East Coast basist in-jokes, enjoy, but the movie can juggle your senses for being either cool or boring. A college try for director John Hamberg of 'Meet the Parents' and 'Zoolander.'
What's not so great: Look before you leap.

Blasting Loud Originality
on May 14, 2012

Prior Garbage fans would easily eat this album up as fans of the latter.
'Bad Boyfriend', 'Run Baby Run', and 'Right Between the Eyes' are so high energy they'd shame coffee. 'Bleed Like Me' is a reflectionist anthem.
Ballads, grinding guitars, singer Shirley Manson's sexy and sincere voice, the hard rock and electronic overlays shame pop music pretenders.
An overlooked gem from 2005, the album has the spice and warmth of a toasted marshmallow.

Experience one of horror craftsman David Cronenberg's most disturbing features as Jeremy Irons essays the chilling duel roles of twin doctors locked in a perpetual struggle of emotional dependence and mind games that will leave you mesmerized and horrified. The feature is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and offers audio rendered in both closed-captioned English Dolby Digital 5.1 and English Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround with optional English, French, and Spanish subtitles. Though the widely praised feature was originally given the deluxe treatment by Criterion when first released on DVD in 1998, Warner Home Video has also included some appealing bonus materials that will certainly make this an attractive release to Cronenberg aficionados. After listening to star Irons discuss the finer points of working with Cronenberg in an audio commentary track, viewers can hear more about the production in cast/filmmaker interviews and filmographies. A brief behind-the-scenes featurette delves into production even further, with a theatrical trailer and a fun "Dead Ringers Psychological Profiler" offering viewers the chance to test their own mental stability against that of the good -- or was it bad? -- doctor.

Art House Chiller

A movie for David Cronenberg fans. If you liked 'Videodrome',' Eastern Promises', 'A History of Violence' or 'A Dangerous Method'- this movie will be up your alley or weird you out. No shocks or gore, Jeremey Irons plays with split screen twin gynocologist brothers pining for an actress played by Genevieve Bujold. Concepts of whether the brothers are two people or one identity give the film a chill, but not a movie for kids or people expecting a lot of action or monsters to pop out. Great for Film Classes.
What's great about it: High-brow horror to college set.
What's not so great: More psychological horror than gory shock/ splatter.

It's All Good.

Far more hard rocking than Stone Temple Pilots last three albums and by far more superior. No. 4 is less scattered in sound base than 'Core', and less pop-centric than ' Tiny Music from the Vatican Gift Shop.'
Bonified hard hitting tunes, a few strumming ballads, all instrumental, no synthesizers or sampling. Your either listening to a good song or a great song to this album.

Razor sharp British Spy film
on May 3, 2012
Posted by: Tigon
from California
'The Ipcress File' stars Michael Caine as the spy Harry Palmer who sets to find a mind-control information by British intel in 1960's London after the deaths of several agents and scientists set to find it.
A movie from the 1960's may feel slow, but it builds tension as the finest spy movie I've ever seen for showcasing cutthroat spies and gritty mystery. Thousands of times better than any James Bond film.
What's great about it: Mystery, suspense, surprise and spies
What's not so great: Movie set in 1960's may bore some audiences

John Waters Hollywood satire Cecil B. Demented comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.77:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a commentary track by the director. As is often the case, Waters' stories are as entertaining as the film, itself. A making-of special that originally aired on Comedy Central, trailers, production notes, and information on the cast and crew round out this strong release from Artisan.

Strange, low-brow, and aimless.
on May 3, 2012
Posted by: Tigon
from California
Released in 2000, if you liked 'Serial Mom' or 'Cry Baby' from John Waters this movie could be up your ally. If you have standards on what you watch, skip this by all means. Stephen Dorf plays title character as a literalist movie director/terrorist who kidnaps shmultzy celebrity Melanie Griffin in a guerrila campaign on bad movies in a movie. Predating the dreck of reality shows and terrorist forshadows, the movie is obnoxious in vulgarity, but its attacks on the movie industry is very spot on.
What's not so great: Not for child audiences or people with standards.

Odd dark horror yet confusing.
on March 12, 2012
Posted by: Tigon
from California
Bradley Cooper ( 'The Hangover') portrays a photographer set to reveal the dark world of the unknown as to trail a serial killer butcher Mahogany to surprise ends. Brooke Shileds and Leslie Bibb of Iron Man co-star.
A unique story about the horrors of "reality", the movie leaves some questions to the monsters in play plus what and why Mahogany is.
Beautiful crisp scenery, the movie is simple gore and silent chills.
What's great about it: A movie for gore fans with a surprise horror twist.
What's not so great: Not much for back story. Lacks answers to plot holes.

Exploitative Gore.
on March 12, 2012
Posted by: Tigon
from California
A bit of a gorish dud to a premier Italian horror director. The actor who appeared in 'Wings' is alright but the movie is simply bare-bones gore and promescuity . Furthermore, it's too short and there's no surpirses. Most women may not like this movie
What's not so great: Rent it. Flat out, rent it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
