Advantages: great costuming, acting, script, plot, casting of characters, etc...
Disadvantages: QUite a few things in Louis' story were changed

...when I heard about the Interview with the Vampire movie I was overjoyed and hunted down this DVD. It didn't diappoint me either; even though it changed quite a few of the details in the book. Brad Pitt played a great Louis. I could not imagine anyone else playing that role after seeing him in action. He got every single emotion right, from the malice and hatred for Lestat, to the undeniable love for his little Claudia the child vampire. Tom Cruise ...
...Louis portrayed him as in the novel when narrating his story. One of the scenes I remember the best was a little before they made Claudia into a child vampire, when Lestat danced around with the corpse of Claudia's mother. I was exactly the way I imagined Lestat acting. Kirsten Dunst played a marvelous Claudia; which was what I thought was a very mature role for a child her age at that time; but she captured her character EXCEPTIONALLY well. The ... Read review

Advantages: Gripping throughout
Disadvantages: Noot for everyone's taste, needs time dedicated to it

...every one of them. Babel is also the winner of the oscar for best picture in 2007, and similar in many ways and themes to the 2006 winner, Crash. The name of the film comes from the biblical story of the Tower of Babel - a tower built so that people could get closer to god. Biblical and religious questions are continuously raised throughout the film. Babel certainly isn't for everybody's taste. There are four stories interweaved between different ...
...a car with him! Babel also put me off ever visiting Morrocco, or if you do you wouldn't want to do anything wrong going by the portrayal of police brutality. Don't go to see this if you want something to switch off to. There are no big explosions and all the drama comes from real life situations. What I love about Inarrito's films is that he can inadvertently switch from a moment that truly touches your heart, as happens at the first switch between ... Read review

Advantages: Great Story, interesting direction and thought provoking
Disadvantages: possibly a complete set of lies

The little known Sam Rockwell plays Chuck Barris the creator of many of America's most famous gameshows in the 50's and 60's including the Gong Show, The Dating Game (Blind Date) and a very long list of other shows, of which many made their way across the Atlantic to our shores. However, although his lifestory may make interesting viewing based on this amount of information in itself, Barris himself has made an even more amazing claim in his book ...
...America's most famous television producers but he was also a CIA assasin who murdered numerous enemies of the state. The films co-stars and was directed by George Clooney, a director who certainly has an eye for an interesting story, and this, his debut, was certainly one of them. The film starts with Barris moving from job to job and woman to woman without any real sucess in either department, until he lands a job giving people tours around the ... Read review

Advantages: Somre very strong performances.
Disadvantages: Some wishy-washy characterisation and lack of plot.

When an American tourist is accidentally shot in the Moroccan desert, the events have repercussions around the world. The holidaying couple struggle to survive in a country where few speak their language. A Mexican nanny is forced to take two American children over the border illegally. Two young boys get involved in a crime they didn’t intend to commit and a deaf teenage Japanese rebel discovers her father is being sought by the Tokyo police. Circumstance ...
...of loss and isolation. Separated by culture, language and a lack of understanding of their surroundings and themselves, they all struggle to connect with the world. Like Robert Altman before him, director Alejandro González Iñárritu is fixated on the multi-strand narrative format that links several stories through a single event. It can be a very effective storytelling tool but it can fall flat on its face. This particular example is moderately ... Read review
