Fitzcarraldo

November 1, 1999 // 0 Comments

The love for opera, determination and a degree of obsession is what defines Anchor Bay’s latest release, "Fitzcarraldo". As much as these elements determine the film’s main character, they also manifest themselves in the film’s creator, [...]

Ravenous

October 31, 1999 // 0 Comments

I like movies that don’t correspond to one particular genre. The kind of film that seems to be many different things at once. The problems with films that defy pigeonholing is that they are hard to market and they often go unnoticed by the public. [...]

Fade To Black

October 28, 1999 // 0 Comments

Ah, another film that I saw when I was eleven years old and swore was the coolest movie ever. Well, all of these years later, “Fade To Black” doesn’t thrill me like it did then, but it does have a very interesting story. Eric Binford is a meek young [...]
