A British film – yes, British – that can hold its head high amongst the best of world cinema. It's a brilliant piece of filmmaking: Richard Jobson has the...

The revenge movie gets a dose of unusual dentistry and a drastic method of self censorship. But as well as the headline grabbing violence (often off-screen...
`Beau Travail' sparked an interest; `Trouble Every Day' disappointed; `Vendredi Soir' made me really sit up; now `The Intruder' confirms to me that this...
It feels like you fall into the middle of a fast-moving, confusing world. Then you gradually begin to find your bearings as the story gradually assembles...
What a wonderful film. It takes a while to get going, but the gentle pace is important for fully establishing the two central characters, and helps imprint on...

Hi all! my name is Elka and I'm French. I joined this group because I'm a cinema freak, I could watch one movie per day if I only had the chance I just wanted...
I've seen it and really enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of the Andrew Davies television adaptation, so I was expecting the film to be poor in comparison. However,...

Hi everyone, has anyone heard of Mel Gibson's newest superproduction, "Apocalypto"? it's supposed to be about Mayan world, so a mixture of myth and legend and...
Hi Elka. No, I haven't heard anything about this film. Here's an entry I found, though, on the IMDB: http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0472043/combined It appeasr to...
The real triumph of this film is not what it says, but how it says it. So often in the political thriller genre an important subject becomes simply a framing...
I actually saw the trailer today on the apple quicktime website. It looks very good, but like I said in mu other message, a bit "out of reach". Elka;-)...
Hi guys, Yesterday, I went to see Munich. For those who don't know, quickly, it's the story happening after that Israelis hostages where held by Arabs during...
I've heard wildly different reactions to this film. A common criticism seems to be the one you mention - that it is a rather lop- sided account. Others have...
I'd say you'd have to be in a certain kind of mood as well in order to watch such a movie, being political and a true story and a tragedy and all. Personnally,...
To answer to both of you, like I said, I haven't seen Schindler's list in a while that's why my complain about Spielberg might be too general. I really enjoyed...
I know we're not supposed to ask personal questions, but are you French , by any chance, Funny Name? ("PYgmtt" something). You seem to be! Anyhow, so am I,...

Hi guys, just to let you know that I watched Harvey recently and It's great. You can check imdb for the synopsys. Basically, it used to be a very famous ...
Yes, Harvey is one of those classic films that are well worth revisiting. Did you watch the film on DVD? I just wondered what the picture quality is like -...
... I still have to check 'Lavender Hill Mob'... I was quite surprised. For once, it was in a dvd store that there were some advices. I noticed it because one...
David Strathairn gives a forceful performance as Edward R Murrow, the broadcast journalist who helped take on McCarthy. Here Murrow is self- contained,...
Hi Mike I saw this one myself on Saturday, and like you found a lot to commend about it. My one reservation was that it never (for me anyway) really conveyed...
