Its climactic island assault deserves to be canonized as the greatest throw down since Kong climbed a skyscraper.  Film DVD ReviewClueless: Whatever! Edition (1995)by Cynthia Fuchs[30.Aug.05] :. When I first read I just thought, this is funny. This was by the lady who directed Fast Times and apparently they had the girl from the Aerosmith videos in it.  Film ReviewRobots (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[11.Mar.05] :. Valiant and righteous, the old-fashioned robots fight back against the slick, wealthy, huge machine.  Film ReviewSwimfan (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[12.Sep.02] :. Ben checks his mailbox, the camera zooms in to a computer screen filled with little email-message-envelope emblems, all from 'swimfan85.'

CarrWhat do you get when you combine Once Upon A Time in America, Goodfellas, Atlantic City, and add humor? You end up with The Crew, a twisted comedy that makes fun of old... Blood Simple, The Directors’ Cut (1984/2000)by Tobias PetersonThough shot on a shoestring budget by first-time feature filmmakers, the movie encapsulates all that has come to typify the Coen brothers' style: engaging narrative, inventive direction, and the juxtaposition of grim violence with moments of sublime, sometimes surreal, human behavior. |
