8mm DVD Review
Advantages: Characters, Tension.
Disadvantages: Not for everyone.
...(Chris Bauer) 8mm exhibits bad taste and may be shocking to most people, but to me it felt like a movie with serious intent, especially seen as though it tracks the descent of Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage), as the ordinary guy, into the nasty, immoral world of underground pornography. The character, understandably, is tormented, mentally, as he simply cannot accept why all the evil surrounding him exists. Notoriously panned by critics upon its release, ...
...Carter), Welles is handed an 8mm recording of the young girl being murdered- dubbed a "snuff film"- and has to uncover whether the film is real or not. Joel Schumacher brings the typical suspense and twisted horror that made Se7en so popular in its time, though, in a sickening kind of judgement, I must admit that I enjoyed 8mm a lot more. The atmosphere is one of the main features that I judge this film as being a success. The dark, surprisingly ...

Stop breaking my balls
Advantages: Pure brilliance all round
Disadvantages: None
...be alone in saying that The Sopranos TV series is one of the best dramas i have ever seen and no doubt in the top 5 US TV exports in recent years. It has everything you could want from a mob drama with just superb acting, writing and direction in possibly every episode. As a treat to myself, i recently re-started watching my Sopranos dvds again with my girlfriend who used to moan about me watching this now recommends we put it on, progress! Not sure ...
...asked for regular updates on the storyline, definately progress!! Anyway, i will endeavour to provide an in depth review of season 1 and provide purchase advice. PLOT - Tony Soprano is a top end mobster in the New Jersey based Di-Meo crime family. He is a husband to wife Carmela and father to his two children Meadow and Anthony Jnr. Juggling his time with his cosa nostra family and his real family cause him to have panic attacks which he aims to ...

Murder and blackmail Coen-style
Advantages: Superb acting, both tragic and blackly funny
Disadvantages: None
...I at least remember what the plot is. One thing I could remember about it was that it was directed by the Coen brothers, and although I have watched one or two bad Coen films, they are generally pretty good. So I decided to give it another try. Thank goodness I did. I'm not sure whether I was drunk the first time I watched it or what, but this is a film that I really enjoyed and thought had some superb performances.
The plot
Ed Crane is a barber ...
...a barber; he fell into the job after marrying his wife, whose father owned a barber shop. His life should be good, but there is something missing and his wife, Doris, is having an affair with her boss. When Ed is given the opportunity to invest some money in an enterprise, he is determined to raise the money. His first port of call is his wife's boss, Big Dave, whom he successfully blackmails to the tune of $10,000. All seems to be going swimmingly; ...

Legal Yawner
Advantages: Ummm
Disadvantages: Ahhh
...Robert Duvall was nominated for a best supporting actor award for his performance in this movie at the Golden Globe awards and the majority of reviews I've read elsewhere have been somewhat favourable......but it bored my arse off. I'm sorry, but it did! A Civil Action is based upon a true story and therefore doesn't involve itself in the theatrics of say, a John Grisham adaptation. Forget witness threatening, last minute key witness appearances, ...
...minutes etc. - instead, its a bit like a day at the office. John Travolta is a partner in a small law firm specialising in personal injury claims. They are ambulance chasers, only involving themselves in cases which they know for a fact they can win - no win, no fee etc. they take a cut of the damages awarded to the plaintiff or nothing at all. Anyway...they come across a case which has been bounced around every other law firm in the state before ...
