July 16, 2001 // 0 Comments

F.W. Murnau’s 1926 fantasy epic ’Faust’ centers on the timeless battle between good and evil. Mephistopheles (Emil Jannings under a host of disguises) wagers an angelic emissary that he can corrupt Faust’s spirit, with the damnation of all [...]

Akira

"Akira" is a landmark in Japanese animation. A milestone that has made history and redefined the genre and animation films in general. Its mature theme, the epic animation, the futuristic world, the action and violence depicted and the explosive [...]

The Wedding Planner

Jennifer Lopez seems to have trouble deciding what she wants to do, dance, sing or act. While she used to be a great dancer, the latter two areas are just not her strength. Neither the limitations of her vocal abilities nor the poor range of acting skills [...]

Final Programme

I consider myself fairly intelligent when it comes to deciphering arcane symbolism in movies. Dang if I can figure out one of the stranger entries of 1970’s science fiction cinema, Robert Fuest’s "The Last Programme." Chronologically nestled [...]

The 10th Victim

July 12, 2001 // 0 Comments

’The 10th Victim’ is a very odd hybrid sci-fi/comedy/60s Mod movie based on an original story by Robert Sheckley (sadly out-of-print). Directed by Elio Petri, this quirky Italian film offers a funny and entertaining look at the serious business of [...]

Have you ever wondered where nightmares come from? Or, have you ever given any thought to what is happening in the minds of those unfortunate people who are in comas? If these thoughts have crossed your mind, you’ll find some answers in the film [...]

The Cotton Club

July 10, 2001 // 0 Comments

Francis Ford Coppola’s 30’s period piece ’The Cotton Club’ is another one of his stylish films that are full of hauntingly beautiful images and an almost poetic visual style, underscoring the filmmaker’s rather artistic take on movies as opposed [...]
