Review of Hannibal (DVD)

what if everything you've known, never happened?

Advantages: Interesting, camera effects, great acting, suspense.
Disadvantages: Slow in some places, a little predictable.

MOVIE The Forgotten was a film released back in 2005, I had heard people talking about it and had seen it numerous times on the shelf in movies stores. The cover was pretty intriguing, but yet I couldn’t bring myself to pick it up, until I heard it was on TV the other day, missed it and decided to go out and get it. Not too expensive, but I wasn’t going to order it online and wait for the post to arrive. In my personal opinion I believe that the ...
...had a good plot, and the acting was alright, yet everything didn’t seem to fall into place. Okay, so I don’t want to sound negative, but I think the film was great, but not the best I’ve seen, everyone likes different things; besides I was hoping it would be so much better as everyone had “hyped” it up to be. Kind of similar to the situation of the disappearing of a child - like on Flight Plan (featuring Jodie Foster) where a kid goes missing, but ...

Basic Instinct rip-off

Advantages: If you enjoy courtroom dramas
Disadvantages: Acting, cardboard characters, dull.

...because I'm cruel like that. Body of Evidence isn't as bad as Swept Away, but then again it isn't much better, with the acting and direction mediocre at best. This film caused a high amount of controversy when it was released in 1993; not just because we see Madonna rolling around naked for a lot of it, but because of a certain scene involving hot candle wax. This film tries to imitate the much more successful and well known 'Basic Instinct' but ...
...throughout this review if you're looking for a bit of cheap mindless entertainment then this is it, although it will probably leave you laughing more then anything. In my opinion Basic Instinct is the best of these types of films, with Body of Evidence an inferior and badly acted copycat. ...
