_*0 it was a bit bizarre and evil and i enjoyed it a lot , the characters in the show were great as well , and complimented one another well . i was sorry to see it cut off . . i would have loved to see where it could have went . you found yourself leaning toward lucas buck the sheriff who had more secrets than anyone . lucas was frightening and alluring . and i would have liked to have seen more of him and how his character became . i will however buy the show just to enjoy , it was great to something different on tv . and paige turrco who was caleb's cousin , she was a big mystery as to where and what she meant to lucas . its a shame it isn't around still . . or was never finished , i would have loved to see what would have happened .
_*1 without peter ustinov and maggie smith , this could easily have been a turkey . but they are brilliant . ustinov is at his best , and for fans of maggie , it is great to see her in her early days , matching ustinov every step of the way for with and timing . for englishmen in their fifties ( and i am in that bracket ) , it is always entertaining to see glimpses of and hear sounds of the swinging sixties , and although this film spends a lot of time in offices , it has plenty of sixties nostalgia , including red buses , carnaby street , a song by lulu and a delicious shot up the micro-skirt of a waitress , the like of which england has never seen since in public places . as an i . t . engineer , i know that the computer hacking tricks are laughable , but they are not meant to be taken seriously . nor are the wonderful stereotypes of italians , french and germans .
_*2 butch the peacemaker ? evidently . after the violent beginning with spike , tom and jerry all swinging away at each other , butch calls a halt and wants to know why . it's a good question . " cats can get along with dogs , can't they ? " he asks tom , who nods his head in agreement . " mice can get along with cats , right ? " jerry nods " no , " and then sees that isn't the right answer . they go inside and butch draws up a " peace treaty " ( complete with professional artwork ! ) . most of the rest , and the bulk of the cartoon , is the three of them being extremely nice to one another what a refreshing change-of-pace . i found it fun to watch . i can a million of these cartoons in which every beats each other over the head . anyway , you knew the peace wasn't going to last . a big piece of steak spells the death of the " peace treaty " but en route it was nice change and still had some of usual tom & jerry clever humor .
_*3 somehow , this movie manages to be invigorating , bittersweet , and heartwarming at the same time . stars like tony shalhoub ( from providence ) bring the tale to life . the story itself is inspiring . we see a desperate , up-and-down life through the most innocent eyes imaginable : a bird's . paulie begins his life as a baby parrot given to a little girl ( played by hallie eisenberg , also known as the pepsi girl ) with a speech impediment . while she learns to speak correctly , so does paulie . however , unlike most birds , he can speak and understand everything being said . the military father doesn't like the bird , so he is sent to a pawn shop and bought by an aging artist , ivy . she teaches him manners , etc . , while traveling across the country to find paulie's owner . the movie continues with several twists of fate , until paulie ends up at a laboratory where he is eventually hidden away in a basement , and found by a russian custodian , who is touched by the bird's story . the plot is in keeping with the simple , metaphorical theme that language is a gift , and a curse . i would like to say that the soundtrack is astounding . a beautiful mixture of flute , digital base , and horns enhance the movie to the point of pure ecstasy . the sweeping camera angles and breathtaking scenery beautify the story even more . and , as a final remark , the puppetry is entirely believable . ( unlike in star wars , where yoda resembles a muppet ) this film is one of my favorite movies , with the added remark that my wonderful parakeet of four years died recently . overall , i give this movie **** out of four stars , two thumbs up , and a big hug .
_*4 rachel mcadams . cillian murphy . wes craven . the dream team . this is one of the best thrillers of 2005 . a great plot . a great twist . a great eye candy . this is one of wes craven's greatest movies apart from " scream " and " a nightmare on elm street " . this could be the best . the plot is one of the best things about the movie and it is very simple . lisa reisert ( mcadams ) a struggling hotel manager , boards a late red eye back to la . little does she know that she has been followed by jackson ripner aka jack the ripper ( murphy ) . they have a couple of drinks and end up sitting together on the plane . later he reveals to her that he is an assassin who was sent to kill the secreteary of homeland security who is staying in lisa's hotel . and what does this have to with lisa . well , she would have to move his room to the top suite so they can bomb him , if she doesn't ripner will murder her father ( brian cox ) . the twist and bringing of the story really gives it the extra zing and the side characters and the side jokes really add to it . overall , definitely one of the best thrillers of 2005 . definitely worth the see . 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
_*5 halloween is not only the godfather of all slasher movies but the greatest horror movie ever ! john carpenter and debra hill created the most suspenseful , creepy , and terrifying movie of all time with this classic chiller . michael myers is such a phenomenal monster in this movie that he inspired scores of imitators , such as jason vorhees ( friday the 13th ) , the miner ( my bloody valentine ) , and charlie puckett ( the night brings charlie ) . okay , so i got a little obscure there , but it just goes to show you the impact that this movie had on the entire horror genre . no longer did a monster have to come from king tut's tomb or from dr . frankenstein's lab . he could be created in the cozy little neighborhoods of suburbia . and on the night he came home . . . haddonfield , illinois and the viewers would never be the same . there are many aspects of this movie that make it the crowning jewel of horror movies . first is the setting . . . it takes place in what appears to be a normal suburban neighborhood . many of us who grew up in an area such as this can easily identify with the characters . this is the type of neighborhood where you feel safe , but if trouble starts to brew , nobody wants to lift a finger to get involved ( especially when a heavy-breathing madman is trying to skewer our young heroine . ) along with the setting , the movie takes place on halloween ! ! the scariest night of the year ! while most people are carving jack-o-lanterns , michael myers is looking to carve up some teenie-boppers . besides the setting , there is some great acting . jamie lee curtis does a serviceable job as our heroine , laurie strode , a goody-two-shoes high-schooler who can never seem to find a date . however , it is donald pleasance , as dr . sam loomis , who really steals the show . his portrayal of the good doctor , who knows just what type of evil hides behind the black eyes of michael myers and feels compelled to send him to hell once and for all , is the stuff of horror legend . however , it is the synthesizer score that really drives this picture as it seems to almost put the viewer into the film . once you hear it , you will never forget it . i also enjoy the grainy feel to this picture . nowadays , they seem to sharpen up the image of every movie , giving us every possible detail of the monster we are supposed to be afraid of . in halloween , john carpenter never really lets us get a complete look at michael myers . he always seems like he is a part of the shadows , and , i think that is what makes him so terrifying . there are many scenes where michael is partly visible as he spies on the young teens ( unbeknownst to them ) , which adds to his creepiness . if you think about , some wacko could be watching you right now and you wouldn't even know it . unfortunately for our teenagers ( and fortunately for us horror fans ) , when they find michael , he's not looking for candy on this halloween night . . he's looking for blood . finally , michael myers , himself , is a key element to this movie's effectiveness . his relentless pursuit of laurie strode makes him seem like the killer who will never stop . he is the bogeyman that will haunt you for the rest of your life . so , if you have not seen this movie ( if there are still some of you out there who haven't , or even if you have ) , grab some popcorn , turn off every light , pop this into the old dvd and watch in fright . trick or treat !
_*6 with lots of sunshine , gauzy light and shadow filtering through windows and into rooms , tracking shots moving through crowds with hand-held camera , quick-paced editing and extreme close-ups here and there , the photography is the thing in this interesting , artistically done film . the plot of this film starts out as a bit of fluff about a beauty contest . the film begins on a warm sunday at the local swimming pool , where we meet the lovely lucienne aka lulu ( played by louise brooks ) - a bit of a show-off in front of the gawking men by poolside , she soon decides to enter herself to represent france in the miss europe beauty contest , much to the chagrin of her very jealous , stick-in-the-mud fiancé ( a pretty annoying fellow , really ) . strutting down the runway the ten contestants display themselves in swimsuits , while the winner is chosen as the contestant who receives the longest applause ( i was wondering , couldn't the girls just walk slower to prolong their length of time - and thus applause - on the catwalk ? ! ) . lulu is soon being chased by a prince and a maharaja , but her hot-headed beau doesn't like the attentions paid to her by other men or her adoring public , for that matter ( i guess he just wants her in his house , cooking his meals , and staying out of sight , eh ? ! ) . louise brooks is beautiful and charming , her presence helps enhance this film , but it's really the way it is photographed that held my interest the most . a bit distracting is the odd dubbed sound , which is a bit off . the print on this version looked very clear and full of nice contrast though . watching this i just tried to overlook the sound problems and watch the film visually , and i found the movie to be excellent , well worth seeing .
_*7 this is one of my favorite mr . motos , and i have seen them all . as usual lorre is his charming self as the debonair mr . moto . lionel atwill plays a delightfully zany museum curator , the usual comic relief is quite funny here , and there are lots of suspects on whom to cast an eye . it's fast paced and fun . the archaeologist doesn't have quite the same flair as thomas beck , the usual second lead in these programmers , but he's adequate . stepin fetchit is on board , and while he speaks in a stereotypical manner his lines are funny , not demeaning to his intelligence , and he actually saves the day in his brief time on screen .
_*8 there are some things i will never understand ; why underwear comes in packs of threes when clearly thats not enough is an example . similarly , i will never understand this film , and that is brilliant . if you approach this film expecting an actual movie , you might as well be approaching satan expecting a hug ; although that may well be possible if you greet this film's satanic figures . take pitch for instance ; the most ineffectual , camp , unhellish portrayal of a devil since freddy mercury and wayne sleep joined forces to create a ten foot satan costume from red body paint and horns covered with condoms . however , it does create some of the most hilarious moments of any film ever . seriously , this is no understatement . the same can be applied to every other character , bar the little girl who acts so sickly innocent she's probably overcompensating for some serious crime she's part of . then again , if santa's inter-space recon station is real , there is no chance she could have avoided him this long . put simply , if you haven't seen this movie , you cannot consider yourself a serious buff . the achingly funny characterisation , acting , concept , and almost-under-the-radar racism makes this a must see above any film to date ( if you're after pure laughter that is ) .
_*9 this was my favourite film as a child , and i have been in the stage production a few times so it will always remain my favourite muscical and i doubt anybody could ever re-make the story of oliver twist on screen , any better than this one did . my all-time favourite ''bad guy'' has to be oliver reed as bill sikes . not only did he scare the life out of my when i watched it as a 6 year old , but now as a woman i can empathize more with nancys character , the bar maid/prostitute who helps oliver get the life he deserves . jack wilde as the artful dodger , was fantastic , and i don't think anybody could ever out-do him , as the street-pocket picker , and best friend of fagin . the music is fantastic , especially fagin's numbers , i'm also quite thankful they didn't give bill sikes a musical number , it wouldn't of worked with him being such a sinister character . i think carol reed did an excellent job of nancy's sticky ending , keeping it a g rated movie by disguising her beating , but giving enough away to show the violence of bill towards her . this movie is both charming , and charismatic as a musical sing-along , as well as being a moving drama that follows a young boy as he tries to find where he belongs in life .
