Judy Movie Review
Signed to MGM Studios at a very young age, her life was almost completely controlled by its studio head, Louis B. Mayer. Never considered an out right beauty of the caliber of Liz Taylor or Ava Gardner, she was made to feel second class and was never allowed a childhood. Labour laws of the time for children actors in Hollywood were almost non-existent. They also gave her regular quantities of amphetamines to keep her thin and working. This helped to create addictions that lasted her entire ...

Chained For Life Movie Review
Its comments on how society treats human beauty and those that don’t conform to our rigid expectations is one of the film’s more direct elements. Other than that you are left with a more than an unusual ride. Looking all the world like a lower budget enterprise suits its surreal approach.

Even after giving it a good slosh around the brain, it keeps transforming itself in ones mind. As a starter of that good old fashion post film festival dialogue, it is top ...
O Beautiful Night Movie Review
When he runs into Der Tod (English translation - The Death) played by Marko Mandic, this malevolent presence in human form takes him on a journey that is part phantasmagoria and part road trip. Are these events really happening or are they just figments of a bruised psyche. The reality of this is left entirely up to you.

The dark and unravelling action is intercut with beautiful stills and paintings of mother nature. There is also a female presence with Nina (Vanessa Loibl) ...
Gemini Man Movie Review
For as much as the computer technology to make the actors look like younger versions of themselves has been heralded, in practice it turns out rather odd looking. When viewing the younger version of Henry Brogan (Will Smith), it almost looks like he’s overdone the botox. There is little emotion seen. The extremely high resolution of the film does not help this anomaly either.

Director Ang Lee holds nothing back with the action sequences and many of them are ...
Hustlers Movie Review
The women do take advantage of the men but it is done in such a way as to drag all concerned through the gutter. The targets and their platinum cards pay extravagantly for the privilege of their company but the women doing the fleecing are also losing something.
//
Jennifer Lopez as the girl’s ringleader, Ramona shows real application to the role and her athleticism is impressive. Her character has a steely core but this resolve is not used for anything even close to noble. ...
