wonderful film great soundtrack fabolous dance scenes

Advantages: very good film very interesting great array of wonderful actors
Disadvantages: none

this is a great film these are the different characters involved and what they bring to this amazing film. KEVIN BACON plays Ren Mac-Cormack a teenager raised in Chicago who moves to a small town were basically anything good or fun is banned and this unfortunately includes two things he has great enthusiasm and great passion towards which is music and dancing they were banned by the strict Reverend Shaw Moore. Its not long into the time Ren has moved ...
...feel unwelcome with there outdated beliefs. When he disagrees with one woman's views on a book called slaughter house five after she voices her concerns to the reverent saying slaughter house five isn't that a awful name to which Ren replies its a great book slaughter house five its a classic only to get a rather defensive reply when she says maybe in another town its a classic unable to set her strict views aside and completely discounting Rens ...

Review of Footloose (DVD)

Revenge is a dish best served cold

Advantages: It's a great film with a great cast
Disadvantages: It's hard to watch at times due to the brutality

This is one of the most watched films in my collection. Mainly because it is such a powerful movie, yet very bleak. Set in New York's Hell's Kitchen, 4 teenage boys, played by Brad Renfro (RIP)(Michael Sullivan), Joe Perrino (Shakes), Jonathon Tucker (Tommy) and Geoffrey Widgor (John Reilly) are best friends and seem to be drawn together by their equally awful home lives dealing with regular beatings, poverty and a generally shitty childhood. The ...
...4 friends get up to all sorts, swimming and fishing and playing ball games in the street, but pay the ultimate price when a prank goes wrong and an old man ends up in hospital. They are sentenced to serve at least one year in the Wilkinson Home for Boys (a juvenile detention centre). The middle part of the film follows their time at Wilkinsons enduring endless rapes and beatings at the hands of the guard Noakes (Kevin Bacon) and his colleagues. ...

Review of Sleepers (DVD)

DYING FOR KICKS.

Advantages: A totally unique story, finely acted.
Disadvantages: Very scary.

FLATLINERS Released in 1990 under the Psychological/Drama/Horror genre. Directed by Joel Schumacher (Phonebooth, The number 23), and starring Kevin Bacon, Keifer Sutherland, and Julia Roberts. Flatliners is a totally unique film, and one with a horrifying premise. Gripping and shocking Flatliners explores dark areas that should be left well alone. - I have been trying to think of films to review recently that have a left a lasting impression ...
...- SYNOPSIS - Flatliners tells a tale of a group of young medical students.

Review of Flatliners (DVD)

A raw, gritty drama.

Advantages: Acting, cinematography
Disadvantages: Downbeat

This was a welcome return to form for the big man, Clint Eastwood. Since Unforgiven, Eastwood seemed to be going through the motions directing some stodgily average movies like Space Cowboys and Blood Work. But here, teaming up with L.A. Confidential's screenwriter, Brian Helgeland, he creates this ambitious, atmospheric mystery drama and gets some fantastic performances from his talented cast. Sean Penn is an explosive brutal force and has many ...
...he feels from losing his daughter. Tim Robbins has the difficult role as the rather simple minded Dave Boyle, an edgy, wild-eyed character who is haunted by his horrific past. Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne make for a believable and likeable team as the cops on the case. Marcia Gay Harden gives yet again a fearless performance as Dave's confused and frightened wife and Laura Linney gives a sly take on a Lady MacBeth-style figure. It's an outstanding ...
