The Old Tale (2003) Movie Review
The Polish movie “The Old Tale” reminds me not to take things for granted — although not in the way you might be thinking. Here’s why: the film’s script is oddly unconcern with imparting important info to the audience — such as the names of its characters. Seriously, folks, I’ve never encountered this problem before, [...]

Movie anthologies are very hard to critique. With some, like the Japanese “Twilight Zone”-esque “Tales of the Unusual”, I reviewed each segment as individuals, and that seemed to work. And so, with that in mind, we take a look at the Finnish movie “Book of Fate”, about a strange book that (a lengthy voiceover tells [...]

David Noel Bourke’s “Last Exit”, about an Englishman in Denmark who gets into trouble with some criminal types, is problematic in the same way most low-budget films are problematic — there is a distinctive lack of an interesting single storyline. Or in other words, there isn’t a story that is not only constant, but also [...]

I guess it was only a matter of time before the rest of Europe gave in and offered up their own version of a zombie movie. The Italians nearly killed off the genre in the ’70s by saturating the market, even though they did manage to create a master of the genre in Lucio Fulci. [...]

2002’s “The Nest” probably surprised a lot of people, myself included, who didn’t think the general French movie industry was capable of producing anything other than films about how great it is to have sex all the time or how crappy and miserable the world is and we should all hang ourselves. Unfortunately for mainstream [...]

If the premise of the Swedish comedy “Kopps” sounds familiar, it might be because it’s similar to the recent American comedy “Super Troopers”. The latter movie was about a group of tight-knit State Troopers facing lay-off because there’s just not enough crime to justify their continued employment. This forces the troopers to manufacture crimes for [...]

Despite everything you may have heard, “Anatomy 2″ is not a Teen Slasher film — and in this case, that’s a bad thing. Not having seen the original, I can’t tell if the whole point of the “Anatomy” series is to be goofy and not to be taken seriously. The biggest problem with this sequel [...]

It’s probably just as well that the English film “I Capture the Castle” never states what time period its story is taking place in. The film, about an eccentric family that themselves itself living in a rundown castle in the English countryside, could have taken place anywhere and in any era. The film captures that [...]

To be perfectly honest, I don’t know why spy parodies aren’t as funny as they should be. After all, when you’re freed of the responsibility of coming up with a half-decent plot, shouldn’t your entire time be spent coming up with jokes and gags? As was the case with “Agent Cody Banks”, “The In-Laws”, and [...]

I knew I was in trouble when the first 12 minutes of “Demonium”, an Italian horror film, involved these scenes: a very unattractive woman having sex with her lover over the opening credits, then the lover exchanging silly greetings with people in business suits at his “office”, which is then intercut with the unattractive woman [...]

I am reasonably certain there was a good movie in the British Serial Killer film “Alone”, but the final product is, alas, not so good. Even if you could survive first-time director Philip Claydon’s extreme A.D.D.-inspired directing style, you’d still have to deal with a cast of very silly characters, included by not limited to: [...]

The British horror film “Ghost Rig”, essentially a Last Stand in a Haunted House movie set on an oil rig, immediately peaks my attention. Not because it’s an outstanding horror flick, but because of something much simpler. Originally released in 2001 as “The Devil’s Tattoo”, the film’s producers have managed to toss the movie back [...]
