No, unfortunately. There are a few notable gaps in Peckinpah's DVD filmography. The Wild Bunch is long overdue for upgrading from the current Region 2 edition...
If nothing else, it's a treat to have Hoskins, Caine, Winstone, Courtney, Hemmings, and Mirren in the same film. With this wealth of talent, what could go...
A mother and daughter move into a new apartment; but - yes, you guessed it - some strange things are about to happen, many of them involving water. On one...
For what it's worth, here's my current list of top 10 films of 2003. I say current, because firstly there are so many I haven't yet seen and secondly, my...
Mike I would like to take exception to your Top Ten, but I am kind of restrained by the small matter of having only actually seen one of the films (City of...
That reminds me, Mike, of how pleased I was at your review of Time of the Wolf (and I'm probably very remiss in not having said so at the time!). I was...
Ozu's distinctive style impresses me more and more. It is both formal and precise in its composition, and meticulous in its observation. Once again we have a...
Just after WWII, Albert manages to convince a lot of people that he was part of the French resistance. He wasn't, he's just good at deception. He's not a bad...
I've just returned from my first cinema trip of 2004, and I think I've already found a hot contender for inclusion in my top 10 films of the year. Yes,...
In my opinion, Brazil is Gilliam's best film, but The Fisher King is my favourite. It has such a good mixture of Gilliam's dazzling visuals, lots of strong...
It's The End of the World Party, and these kids just want to obliterate their essential numbness by wallowing in sex, drugs and rock `n; roll. It's a teen...
With a free afternoon it was a straight choice between this and COLD MOUNTAIN. Certainly my natural instincts were to go with the goddess Kidman. However epics...
I have always regarded Kieslowski's Decalog as one of the finest cinematic achievements. Yes, I know this series of ten one hour films were originally made...
The version I watched was a very scratchy and damaged print shown by Film Four. Despite the state of the film, Ozu's quality still shone through. The usual...
It comes to something when I have to resort to replying to my own reviews. However I don't think I have got it completely right on this film. Part of the...
It's a kind of soap opera thriller, but with class. This is a very good example of Almodovar's skill in controlling the mood of a piece, from the funny to...
What a beautiful, exquisite film this is. There are images here that transfix. Apparently influenced by traditional Japanese puppet theatre, we are given...
Mike, I just feel so guilty that you gave up Nicole because of my review, or at least in part because of it. I still think it's a fantastic film, but with my...
I always think it's just me - and it probably is – when so called great films leave me cold. Bresson is recognised as one of the great directors, and this...
As part of a course I've just started, I have been watching the two versions of Cape Fear which were released about 30 years apart. We now have the benefit of...
Lets face it, we have all been in the situation at: a party, function, works do, whatever, where you know absolutely no one. Then all of a sudden you spot the...
An apartment in Taiwan, which is the link between three people. May Lin is an estate agent whose company is going to sell the property. However, she uses it...
I caught this last week in at the Film Forum in Manhattan. I lucked into noticing a blurb about it while reading the Village Voice on the train New Years Day...
So it goes like this. 'Tom Cruise' is an American Civil War veteran, who is recruited by the Japanese Emperor, to train an army, to take on the rebellious...
It's almost impossible to watch a film like Titanic without bringing along a whole trunk load of preconceptions. It is so monumentally "uncool" these days...
A ship sails from Naples in 1914. The motley people on board are there to take the ashes of the world's greatest soprano for scattering at sea near some...
hehe! What a funny film to see after Titanic! ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate...
I remember when this first came out, I saw it at its opening night (to the public anyway) at the Odeon Leicester Square. There was a real frisson of...
