Hot Wheels AcceleRacers: The Speed Of Silence (Animated) (DVD)

Silence of the Lambs - Sink your teeth into this

Advantages: Iconic, powerful, mesmeric and brilliantly performed
Disadvantages: Seen as homophobic. Gruesome and disturbing

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." John Hurt, Patrick Stewart, Jeremy Irons, Jack Nicholson and Sean Connery were all considered to play the role of the cannibalistic serial-killer Dr Hannibal Lecter in Jonathan Demme's 1991 psychological thriller/horror "Silence of the Lambs." Fortunately, however, we were spared the thought of James Bond becoming the silver screen's most notorious serial killer when the role was handed to Anthony Hopkins. A legend was born. Hopkins is on the screen for precisely 24 minutes and 17 seconds, yet his powerful presence casts a shadow over the movie from start to finish.

Review of Silence Of The Lambs (DVD)

Silence of the lambs

Advantages: great story, good acting
Disadvantages: bit gorey, emtional issues

I really like the whole genre of thriller/mystery/murder because it is exciting and silence of the lambs is always exciting. I really enjoyed watching this way back when because it has an original storyline and excellent character portrayal from Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. The silence of the lambs focuses on Jodie Foster's character inteviewing Dr Hannibal Lector about Buffalo Bill, a man that is kidnapping and skinning women to make a skin suit for himself. He is clearly very deranged and odd and quite sick in the head to want to do this to people. It is not like the others which focus on Hannibal and his feasting on other people but the plot and story is still very disturbing and sickening yet I think that is what makes it so good because it disturbs us and keeps us watching. The director has thrown in many hooks to keep us ...
