This film still packs some punch. Even when familiar with all the plot twists, and prepared for the surprisingly few grisly scenes, I find the story continues...
i thought that brian cox was a way better hannibal in 'manhunter'. he was more understated and much scarier because of it. i think (although i love the film)...

You find buffalo bill less disturbing??? he's probably one of the most disturibing characters ever put on film. 'it puts the lotion in the basket!' what's more...
I watched Silence of the Lambs again not so long ago and, while being impressed with the film as a whole, I think its chief downfall is its lacklustre...

"If" has just been re-released and what a splendid film it is. Some visceral satire, sharp humour and wonderful script writing. The only minus is a slight...
I have to agree with you on the quality of the direction - it does not sparkle next to someone like Fincher. In fact, as I watched the Silence I was reminded...
Hello everyone. The Group has now been going for almost 2 months, and we already have over 50 members. We are also getting some good discussions going about...
hmmm, i didn't notice that you'd stopped doing them. i voted on the ones there when i joined and there have been none since but i just figured you went in now...
i like the polls, but maybe you should close them on a regular basis so that there aren't so many polls to go through to vote on. Caught in the rush of the...
This is the thinking person's Upstairs Downstairs, and a film where Altman is on great form. The subject matter is billed as the good old country house murder...
At one point Laura Linney says she is in the water, and swimming towards the light. HA, that must be the connection with Moths. Oh sorry where was I; alright...
Hi Mike Re: The Polls. Personally I find them difficult and time consuming to both access and vote in, therefore I keep away from that part of the club. Also I...
The film is centred on the oldest bridge in Paris (the Pont-Neuf) where, at a time when the bridge is closed for repairs, three vagrants live. There is Hans...

"Raising Arizona" is the film that got me into the Coens...in fact, it's one of the films that got me into film in general. It's one of those rare gems that...
One review describes this film as about a bunch of pubescent hedonists. It's certainly that. These kids - well most of them - seem to care about nothing but...
I agree - it was good throwaway fun; not challenging to your braincells but not dumbass either. I went to see it on a rainy windy Friday afternoon with 2 ...
This is one of those films that people seem either to love or hate. I absolutely love it. It's brilliantly over the top, without being cheap. Luhrman, the...

Saw this film yesterday and what a balls-aching load of rubbish it was too. The main protagonist is both deaf and mute, so dialogue was not surprisingly...
After recently being so impressed with Larry Clark's "Kids", I found this - his latest film - very disappointing. The plot follows another bunch of teens who...
A fairly average film. I was expecting a little more, but it was not to be. The story follows the servant of a knight, in good olde merrie England, who ends...
Another film about grief (you can't get away from them at the moment), though this one is in the "Truly, Madly, Deeply" school of plotting. A middle-aged...
The most exhausting part of a Robert Altman film is the start, where you're desparately trying to work out which character is which and what the hell's going...
One of the things that is immediately offputting about this film, is the seedy, repellent and closed character, of Surveillance Man 'Harry Caul' (Gene...
I agree with this - I was blown away by the visuals from the first 2 minutes. And I LOVED Jim Broadbent's rendition of "Like A Virgin" - one of the campest...

Yes this is a crafty film. Ozon builds up some interesting suspense and handles it very cleverly. Well worth watching....

Yes I'm going to add my twopenny worth and agree that I thought this film was a sheer delight. Exuberant, fun, and feisty. Although it doesn't engage on a...
This is the kind of film that you could call quaint. It follows the fortunes of Ingemar, a boy living with his brother and a terminally ill mother. He is...
