House of death
Review of 10 Rillington Place (Wide Screen) by sunmeilan

Advantages: A true story
Disadvantages: Not a brilliant film

Introduction I imagine only a few young things will have not heard of John Reginald Christie, who murdered a young woman, Beryl Evans, and her baby and managed to get her husband Timothy accused of her murder. Timothy Evans was eventually hung for this and constituted one of the biggest travesties of justice that this country has seen; to the extent that it was one of the factors that led to the end of the death penalty. Directed by Richard Fleischer, ...
...about the life of Christie. The director Richard Fleischer died just a week or so ago of natural causes. He also directed The Jazz Singer and Conan the Destroyer. The story As the story is so well-known, there seems little point in hiding what happens - too late anyway, I've already told you in the first paragraph. The interesting (and gruesome) part of this film is finding out how the murders of Beryl Evans and her baby were committed, not least ... Read review

Film Of The Year.... If We Had Ever Got To See It
Review of 11:14 DVD by sghawken

Advantages: Gripping, amusing, horrifying tale
Disadvantages: Not one

...that despite the rave reviews 11:14 bombed in the US resulting in the Great British public being unable to see the movie until 3 years later, in a somewhat muted release. 11:14 tells the story of an event then backtracks to the situations that led up to that event from the perspective of five very different individuals. 11:14 is a movie about karma, morality, and deception that will have you glued for its 80 minute duration. What stands 11:14 apart ...
...Swayze and Henry Thomas. 11:14 sits on a kind of Twilight Zone style platter, the different stories all which have some pretty disturbing moments could either sit as individual pieces or as here link together to make the pieces of a bigger puzzle. It's unlikely that you'll watch this movie without paying a thought to the Guy Pearce movie Memento, because its styling is very similar, although 11:14 leaves you with absolutely no unanswered questions, ...

Music is all around, just listen.
Review of August Rush DVD by DixieChick10

Advantages: Gr8 film, good storyline.
Disadvantages: Predictable

...You and Coyote Ugly, but August Rush manage to bring something more to the screen than all of those films have done. Basic Plot When Lyla a concert cellist and Louis an Irish rock musician meet, they are broken apart by what seems to be fate. Evan is an 11 year old orphan who is unhappy and swears he hears music all around him, and is convinced beyond belief that his parents wants him and with the help of music he'll be able to get his family ...
...gives him his stage name… August Rush. Why is this film so good? It's sort of a modern day fairy tail, minus the princes and evil witches. It's still got the hope and happy storyline that all fairytales have and most importantly it makes you smile. Like I said before, this film connected with me. As most of you probably know already, I want to be a film maker and believe that music is the key to a good film and boy did this film have fantastic ... Read review

Where is Lestat now?
Review of Interview With The Vampire (Special Edition) by Jonni_boi

Advantages: The best bit is the TWIST at the end!
Disadvantages: Some Boring Bits

...wasn't one single DVD called Interview with the Vampire on a shelf. So instead I bought Disturbia... Then a friend called Matthew asked for Disturbia, I said ok if only you give me one of your DVDs to borrow... So he gave me a choice: The Lion King Interview With The Vampire Silence of the lambs Se7en I Was dead after Silence of the lambs so I asked for it but he started laughing telling me I couldn't borrow it because he hadn't got it, so ...
...so I decided to choose Interview with The Vampire. He told me that it was a good choice. When we had swapped, I became aware of the certification which was 18. Now what I had expected of it was a really scary film that could make you jump every single second, I expected scariness and a chance at getting Goosebumps. What I didn't expect of it came out. CHARACTERS: Louis de Pointe du Lac (Played By Brad Pitt) - Louis seems to me as a normal Human ... Read review

Sensible Viewing
Review of Sense And Sensibility (Collector's Edition) by Goldfish100

Advantages: great film piece
Disadvantages: quite long winded

...the characters. I feel that Sense and Sensibility presents all these things to the audience. There is love, heartbreak, humour and great music. (my applause to Kate Winslet for her unforgettable versions of "Weep You No More Sad Fountains" and "The Dream" ...so beautiful.) If you have not seen this movie, please go RIGHT now to rent it...or even ADD it to your video library! I must say it is well worth it! And if you have seen it. ....you know what ... Read review
