Kaena: The Prophecy (2003) Movie Review
Truth be told, the only notable thing about “Kaena: The Prophecy”, which is hyped as the first French 3D animated film ever, is that American movie star Kirsten Dunst is the voice of the lead character, the titular Kaena. Which, by itself, brings some baggage, in particular the fact that everytime you hear Dunst’s voice [...]

At the risk of losing my non-existent “cool” credibility with the hipsters who regularly visit the site, let me go ahead and say that I’ve always found Jennifer Love Hewitt, formerly of the TV show “Party of 5″, to be terribly appealing. It’s not just the fact that she’s a fellow Texan (although that helps [...]

I don’t usually watch a lot of Romantic Comedies, mostly on the basis that RomComs are so pedantic and uninspiring as to be insulting to one’s intelligence. As such, my intermittent doses of RomComs usually come about when the star of said RomCom is someone I find appealing that their presence transcends the genre in [...]

Generally speaking, blending genres is a good idea, and while it requires a delicate touch to pull off, when properly handled the result is a film that appeals to the viewer on several levels, as well as being more rewarding as a result of the blending. However, when handled in a ham-fisted fashion, the result [...]

Cannibalism is a popular theme in lowbrow exploitation cinema, exemplified by films such as “Cannibal Holocaust” and “The Untold Story”, though the subject rarely rears its ugly head in more artistically and critically acceptable fare. The French film “In My Skin” is an odd beast in that whilst it is a decidedly art-house production, it [...]

It seems like 2004 will be known as ‘The Year of the Virtual Movie Set.’ “Immortel” is one of four films that are garnering notice this year for being almost entirely filmed on blue/green screen with the majority of the on-screen visuals added digitally in post production (the other three films being “Sky Captain and [...]

The French don’t generally do a lot of straight action movies, or if they do, you don’t hear a lot about them. “Crimson Rivers” (which starred “Secret Agents’” Vincent Cassel) was a stab at the popular serial killer genre, and in a way it succeeded — enough to warrant a sequel, anyway. “The Nest” was [...]

“Dead Man’s Shoes” has been playing at various international festivals, and has been described as revitalizing the slasher film in much the same way that “28 Days Later” recently did to the zombie genre. There is some truth to this, as “Dead Man’s Shoes” does resemble the basic stalker film in several ways, albeit told [...]

With all the recent hype and furor surrounding Asian gore films such as “Ichi the Killer” and more extreme fare like the “Guinea Pig” series, it’s sometimes easy to forget the wave of splatter that surged forth from Europe in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Whilst some of these films, such as Lucio Fulci’s [...]

The Mexican movie “Cronos” is undoubtedly one of the better horror films of the 1990s. At times unsettling, at other times moving and compassionate, this is a vampire film that never conforms to any of the given rules or wisdom regarding the genre. Beautifully made, this is a true gem; a thoughtful and creepy experience [...]
