Advantages: Quinn as Zorba is irrestible, great music and dance
Disadvantages: a rather sedate storyline.

Zorba the Greek is not the greatest story in the history of cinema, its claim to fame lies in the impressive performances of Anthony Quinn and Alan Bates. Above all, it is memorable for its unforgettable score by Mykos Theodorakis and excellent black and white cinematography. The plot is quite straightforward: Basil, a shy, rather introverted and mannered Englishman with Greek connections inherits a disused mine on the island of Crete. On the mainland ...
...Basil takes a shine to Zorba and takes him on as the hired help. The contrast between the reserved, inhibited Basil and Zorba's lust for living life to the full is one of the main themes of the movie. The pair arrive on a Crete far removed from the developed island of the 21st century. This is a rather backward place of peasant culture and widows in black weeds, the kind of Greece you can only see nowadays if you stray far away from the usual tourist ... Read review

...60s, a killer calling himself Zodiac terrorises the inhabitants of San Francisco and taunts the police with cryptic letters. When he sends a complex cryptogram to The San Francisco Chronicle, it catches the eye of cartoonist and amateur puzzle-solver Robert Graysmith. Though the killer confounds the police in four jurisdictions, the young artist gets closer to the murderer than anyone else. Director David Fincher is well known for his attention ...
...better to make a film of one of the biggest and most horrific unsolved cases in legal history? Fincher tunes into the period in a remarkable way, effectively recreating the look and feel of 1970s new wave movies and layering period detail onto every frame. You can almost feel the static from the manmade fibres in every outfit and the preponderance of beige that characterised the pre-disco post-Summer of Love era. He employs a palette of sepias and ...

Advantages: Intense, realistic and some good performances
Disadvantages: It is quite long

...solving the riddle of the Zodiac killer, Chronicle cartoonist Robert Graysmith is still following up leads as he believes he is closing down on the killer. Once in a blue moon a film comes along which grabs your attention to the extent that you stop everything else that you were doing and become transfixed, unaware of anything else except what is happening on the screen. One such film is David Fincher's "Zodiac" which retells the true story of the ...
...of San Francisco in the 60s and 70s. For me I had read the hype over the film but as is often the case was not expecting it to live up to all it's acclaim, thankfully it did and in some ways surpassed it. Part of the reason why this film bit me in the ass and made me pay attention is that it is not like your usual serial killer films. Yes a big part of the film is solving the mystery as to who the killer is as well as the unravelling of the clues, ... Read review
