The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg (Parapluies de Cherbourg, Les) (8/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:03 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:03 pm

Visually stunning French film. If you don’t like musicals, just turn down the sound and read the subtitles… you won’t know you’re watching one.

Indagine su un Cittadino al di Sopra di Ogni Sospetto (Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion) (9/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:02 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:03 pm

An ingaging film about corruption, power and the law. There are threads of dark comedy mixed in with the tense drama and a bouncy score by Ennio Morricone to boot.

Horton Hears a Who (6/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:02 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:02 pm

Mildly entertaining, but caters too much to the Shrek crowd.

The New York Ripper (6/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:01 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:02 pm

You’d be hard pressed to find a movie that hated its female characters any more than this one does. This is some sleazy film making with some effective murder scenes and a nice soundtrack.

The Five Days of Milan (6/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:01 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:01 pm

Dario Argento’s political farce. Has many funny moments, but is very confusing if you don’t know the history of The Five Days. Gets a bit too heavy handed near the end.

Seven Shawls of Yellow Silk (Crimes of the Black Cat) (8/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:00 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:01 pm

Horrible quality video. A giallo that isn’t quite as stylish as its contemporaries, but has a solid plot and some great pacing and direction. Story of a series of murders in a fashion house that entangle a blind composer.

The Eye (Gin gwai) (6/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 5:00 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 5:00 pm

Mediocre ghost story in which bursts of sped-up film and of quick cuts are a lame substitute for real cinematic suspense and horror. Plot is alright up until about the halfway point.

Zombi 5: Killing Birds (1/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 4:58 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 4:59 pm

Absolutely horrible. It was like a student film from a C student. The overly loud sound of chirping insects will drive you nuts. Literally nothing happens until about 56 minutes in the film.

Crimson (3/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 4:58 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 4:58 pm

Gangster/mad scientist movie that is only worth watching tsee the satyr burlesque number in the middle of the film.

Murder Party (8/10)

Posted on Jun. 29, 2008 - 4:57 pmSep. 20, 2020 - 4:58 pm

What’s not to love about a gory thriller/comedy that makes fun of art scene-sters.
