The Gathering
Reviewed by doudouce55
For a horror picture, I was not impressed. And I am *not* a horror picture fan, but I do enjoy thrillers. The plot looked good enough for a thriller. First I have to say that the entire family dislikes Ricci's acting, and here she is no ... More

Bandidas

While I am not a big fan of either Salma Hayek or Penelope Cruz, this movie, from the start when I saw Penelope Cruz playing Tic-Tac-Toe with her horse (who cheats), showed me that I was likely to enjoy it. With a great cast that include... More

Memento
Reviewed by doudouce55
I really don't have much to add to Prelude76's review, since I agree 100% with what is written. The story was certainly interesting and well directed. I can't imagine other actors in those roles. The editors must have enjoyed working on th... More

The Wicker Man

Why a remake of this dull, predictable, non-thriller ever came to be is a question by films end that still remains unanswered. Nicholas Cage continues to disappoint with every film he releases and with a plot that could have been wrapped up... More

Death of a President

This was quite enjoyable. Not as entertainment, but rather as a study of what would be the possible reactions of people working close to the president of the U.S.A. if he were assassinated. If one were to arrive in the middle of the "fake ... More

Kolya

This is one beautiful powerful emotional (and funny) film, and it rightfully deserved the Oscar for best Foreign Language film it received in 1997. And its base, it may seem like another 'been done before' type of film; a womanizing bac... More

Kinky Boots
Reviewed by doudouce55
For some unknown reason, very few people seem to have enjoyed this film. The story is, admittedly, rather simple and somewhat predictable. Charlie inherits the family shoe factory and must let workers go, for the market is simply... not wh... More

Mindhunters
Reviewed by jasoncarulli
Entertaining at best, but I expected more from the star-studded cameos. Christian Slater first to go? really? Plot twists until the end, but it didn't hold up as well as it could have. More

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)
Reviewed by WyrmSlayer
I was surprised, to say the least. After reading the books, the movie was better than I expected it to be. Usually directors take free carte blanche with Book-to-Film movies and add or take at their leisure. Chris Columbus was able to ... More

Children of Men

Alfonso Cuaron shows us in this film that he is the master of long takes, and few cuts. Brilliantly cinematographed and directed, with a most excellent cast, this is a wonderful film. The bonus feature is something I rarely watch, but every... More

This fictional WW1 dogfighting movie is 'loosely' based on the the Lafayette Escadrille squadraon, a French squadron that consisted of of American fighter pilots. And its true that casualities were heavy, but also true that did a lot of kil... More
