This was a very enjoyable film; maybe not as exciting and a bit more
contrived than I'd been looking forward to, but it was still very
enjoyable in the main.But one thing stood out above any other in this film; and that was:
Paul Bettany's performance as Dustfinger.He was just brilliant, and absolutely stole the film for me. I thought
he was a good actor anyway, but the mom...

Director Paul Andrew Williams wanted to "write a film that cost no
money and was all set in one place". And the first sixty or so minutes
stuck to this agenda pretty well; Two brothers kidnap the daughter
(Jennifer Ellison) of a wealthy man, he sends out two crazy Chinese
guys to kill them, nerdy brother Peter (Reece Shearsmith) looses the
all important mobile phone and older h...

This is a superb drama, combining a well-presented scientific and
historical explication of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity
alongside a gripping portrait of the moral dilemmas that scientists
have to struggle with as they try to reconcile the demands of country
and conscience.The twin leads –British scientist Arthur Eddington (David Tennant) and
Einstein (Andy S...

I got an invite to see a Preview screening of Sugarhouse Lane last
Wednesday & it was a well attended affair in a Hotel screening Room.The film is set in London, but not the tourist type London you'll have
seen in most British Films. Thankfully there's no shot of 'The Gherkin'
building which seems to have plagued all films set in London since
around 2000.Most of the...

In the last few years, torture has become an indelible part of the film
industry. Exhibit A: Saw, Hostel or any season of 24 from Day 2
onwards. Exhibit B: real-life footage that ends up on the internet.
After 9/11, such material, while still disturbing, is no longer a
rarity, but almost a customary element to insert in genre pictures
(horror and thrillers, especially if politi...

What "The Prestige" does very well is recreate a period of show
business history near the turn of the century in which competition
between magicians was serious and intense. The workings of the
complicated illusions are gorgeously brought to life via smartly
detailed apparatus that replicate the actual mechanics of Victorian
legerdemain. Much of the film rings very true, such a...

This surely is one of the best made for TV dramas you are likely to
see, superbly written and featuring a stunning performance from Jim
Broadbent as Lord Longford. I had only ever regarded Longford as an
eccentric old fool until watching this film which reveals what great
humanity and compassion the man had. He finds Myra Hindley does not
appear to be the monster the media buil...

I was at the World premiere in London and I was apprehensive about
watching a film adaptation of a book as some of them work and others
don't. This one definitely does. From the first minutes of the film,
you know that you're in for a thrilling adventure. Alex Rider, played
superbly by Alex Pettyfer, is very believable as a school kid thrown
into the deep end by Bill Ni...

Let me be the first to admit that there's nothing wrong with a long
movie, nothing at all. "Titanic" was a long movie that was as exactly
as long as it needed to be. "Gone with the Wind" was a really long
movie that was exactly as long as it needed to be. "Dances with Wolves"
was a long movie that I wish had been even longer when I saw it in the
theater. But "King Kong"? Phheww...

birthday. Mocked by the local teen queens and their leader Lucy, with
her only friend being Matt, the chubby boy next door, Jenna's had

With horror remakes being all the rage right now, I don't understand
why these filmmakers didn't just remake Rosemary's Baby with Heather
Graham instead of Mia Farrow. That's all that this movie really is...
Rosemary's Baby with a dash of sci-fi cloning to make it feel like it's
something new. Only "Blessed" is done with none of the subtle style of
Roman Polanski or Ira Levin. ...

Hey now, I've looked at this before and passed it up, but finally took
a chance and wow, I really liked this. This is not, however, the "feel
good" movie of the year. A group of British soldiers lost somewhere in
Europe stumble across a German entrenchment, kill all the remaining
Germans there save one, and move in to take over. But what are they
taking over? They can only comm...

"Arabian Nights" is continuing proof that it is possible to put together a
highly entertaining, superbly-acted television program with a cast of
primarily lesser-known actors and actresses. The performances in the movie
are almost uniformly first-rate. For example, John Leguizamo is hilarious
and totally believable as Aladdin's genie(s), and far better than Robin
Williams' po...

Sir Michael Caine seems to be spending most of his time these days on
home soil making home-grown movies, some good (little voice), and some
appalling (shadow run). Shiner is Caine back to his best, and it's a
role in which he didn't have to act as he was virtually playing a
character that mirrored his own life, a working class south Londoner,
that has moved on to better things...
