Gangster No. 1 (2004) Movie Review
There is something insanely enjoyable about Paul McGuigan’s English crime film “Gangster No. 1.” Aside from the rather oddball title, the movie brings a fresh perspective to the Rise and Fall of the Gangster genre by treating its subject matter — the unnamed “Gangster” of the title, played here by two actors in two different [...]

“Intimacy” is the kind of film that you never see being made in America. This could be for a number of reasons, from the average American’s belief that anything with vast amounts of nudity should be rated XXX (or that mind boggling NC-17) or be tossed into the frozen wasteland of late-night cable television. It’s [...]

There is a very disturbing trend in cinema nowadays. I used to think it was just American cinema, but it appears that, with “Dark Blue World,” even the international community is getting into the act. That trend? What I like to call the Trivial Love Triangle During a Major Historical Event movies. Coincidentally (or is [...]

Besides being incredibly lacking in originality, scares, or even those small guilty pleasures I always manage to find in any Slasher film, the new British Slasher flick “Long Time Dead” doesn’t even have the decency to flash some T&A in my direction. How utterly…lacking. Or pathetic, might be the right word.
“Long Time Dead” is [...]
Wasabi (2001) Movie Review
I am told by someone “in the know” that French action auteur Luc Besson and his favorite muse, Jean Reno, are celebrated idols in Japan. They are, to paraphrase, “big stuff” over there. What does this have to do with the two men’s latest effort, “Wasabi”? The relation is obvious because the movie is about [...]

If you’re wondering if the new Danish film “Catch That Girl” (or “Klatretosen”) is your cup of tea, consider this one-line synopsis: “Three 12-year olds, desperate for money, decide to rob a bank.” If that sounds like something you or your kids might like, then “Catch That Girl” is for you. If a kiddie version [...]

The new British Werewolves Attack film Dog Soldiers is most interesting for fans of American horror films who have ever entertained this thought: “Gee, I wonder how other countries would approach these [insert film subgenre here] movies?” Dog Soldiers is a Werewolves Attack film with elements of a Last Stand in a Haunted House. Filmed [...]

Jean-Jacques Annaud’s The Lover is based on a novel by Marguerite Duras, supposedly a semi-autobiography about her early teen years in French-colonized Vietnam, where she met a rich (and much older) Chinaman (Hong Kong movie star Tony Leung Ka Fai) who becomes her lover. The young, 15-year old Duras is played by Jane March, and [...]

Anyone who plans on watching Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond is advised not to eat beforehand or plan on eating right after the viewing. The Beyond is a Zombies Attack film made by the same man who gave us Zombie, one of the more spectacular Zombies Attack pictures I’ve seen in recent memory. And like Zombie, [...]

Jaume Balaguero’s The Nameless is a stylish psychological thriller that owes more than just a cursory homage to the works of American director David Fincher, who has revolutionize the way films are shot with his neon colors and pale color-tinted gels. Fincher’s works on movies like Fight Club, The Game, and most influential of all, [...]
