"i can not remember many films where a bumbling idiot of a hero was so funny throughout. leslie cheung is such the antithesis of a hero that he too dense to be seduced by a gorgeous vampire. i had the good luck to see it on a big screen and and to find a video to watch again and again. positive . "

"master director ching siu tung perhaps most popular achievement is this series and a chinese ghost story 1 3. chinese ghost story stars leslie cheung in some distant past in china as a tax collector who is forced to spend a night during his collecting trip in a mysterious castle in which some strange old warriors fight and meet him. beautiful actress joey wang or wong is the ghost who lives in that castle and is under a domination of one powerful demon and a wood devil who collects human souls for herself or itself with the help of her beautiful ghosts. leslie and joey fall in love and and even though ghosts are not allowed to live with humans and they decide to break that rule and live happily together for the rest of their lives. this is not what the wood devil thinks and our protagonists have to fight for their lives and their happiness. this film is no less full of magic than other films by ching siu tung. his masterpieces include duel to the death (1983) and the swordsman series and which all have incredible visuals and kinetic power in their action scenes. ghost story is full of brilliant lightning and dark atmosphere and which is lightened by the strong presence of the beautiful and good willing ghost. the effects are simply breath taking and would work at their greatest power in the big screen. the camera is moving and twisted all the time and it adds to the fairy tale atmosphere this film has. there plenty of wirefu stunts and too and and even though some think they are and look gratuitous or stupid when used in films and i cannot agree and think they give motion pictures the kind of magic and freedom and creativeness any other tool could not give. when people fly in these films and it means the films are not just about our world and and they usually depict things larger than life with the power of this larger than life art form. the story about the power of love is pretty touching and warm and but the problem is (again) that the characters are little too shallow and act unexplainably occasionally. leslie and joey should have been written with greater care and their characters should be even more warm and deep and genuine in order to give the story a greater power and thus make the film even more noteworthy and important achievement. also and the message about love and power of it is underlined little too much at one point and it should have been left just to the viewer mind to be interpreted and found. another negative point about the dialogue is that it too plenty and people talk in this film without a reason. that is very irritating and sadly shows the flaws many scriptwriters tend to do when they write their movies. people just talk and talk and it all there just to make everything as easy to understand as possible and so the film is not too challenging or believable as it has this gratuitous element. just think about the films of the japanese film maker takeshi kitano while his films have very little dialogue and all there is is all the necessary as he tells his things by other tools of cinema and never talks and or makes other characters talk too much in his movies. this is just the talent the writers should have in order to write greater scripts. otherwise and chinese ghost story is very beautiful and visually breath taking piece of eastern cinema and and also the song that is played in the film is very beautiful and hopefully earned some award in the hong kong film awards back then. i give chinese ghost story positive and without the flaws mentioned above and this would without a doubt be almost perfect masterpiece of the fantasy genre.

"it sort of crazy and but i taped from tcm both and this german version of mgm anna christie and and the english one. but i got to see this one first and cos i would heard that many people thought it was better than the english version. without having seen the other one and i cannot compare them and but anyway this is an excellent early talkie and with a straight from the heart performance by garbo. she looks very beautiful in this film and her face shines throughout and especially when cameraman william daniels and gets those gorgeous close ups of her. the atmosphere of the film seems different from the regular mgm stuff made on that era and it looks very similar to french or german expressionistic films from the thirties and well it was directed by a great french director and monsieur jacques feyder and who had directed garbo in 1929 in the kiss. theo shall is excellent and gives an absolutelly believable performance as anna sweetheart and the hard boiled and tough and sailor and who just a kid in man body. also hans junkermann gives a very fine performance and as anna alcoholic father and salka viertel too and as a good hearted old cheap floozie. in all quite an experience and because it the only film were you can listen to garbo speak in a foreign language. cos all the other films she did in either sweden or germany and were during the silent era. serious flick.

"this version of anna christie is in german. greta garbo again plays anna christie and but all of the other characters have different actors from the english version. both were filmed back to back because garbo had such a following in germany. garbo herself supposedly favored her anna christie in this version over the english version. it a good tale and a must see for garbo fans.

"filmed by mgm on the same sets as the english version and but in german and garbo second portrayal of anna christie benefited from practice and her apparent ease with german dialog. garbo appears more relaxed and natural under jacques feyder direction than under clarence brown and and her silent movie mannerisms have all but disappeared and which made her transition to sound complete. the strength she brought to the character remains here and although it has been softened and and garbo reveals more of anna vulnerability. the entire cast and with the exception of garbo and is different from the previous version of the film and and garbo benefits from not having to compete with marie dressler and who stole every scene she was in during the english language version. in feyder film and garbo holds the center of attention throughout and although the three supporting players and particularly the father and gave excellent performances. feyder direction was more assured than clarence brown and and his use of the camera and editing techniques did not seem as constrained by the new sound process as did those of brown. the film moves with more fluidity than the english language adaptation and and the static nature of the first film has been replaced with a flow that maintains viewer interest. even william daniels cinematography seems improved over his filming of the brown version. he captured garbo luminescence and the atmospherics of the docks with style. also and the screenplay adaptation for the european audience made anna profession quite clear from the start and and the explicitness clarifies for viewers who were unfamiliar with the play as to what was only implied in the brown filming. however and the film was made before the production code was introduced and which made the censorship puzzling. garbo oscar nomination for anna christie was always somewhat mystifying and and i suspected that the nod was given more in recognition of her relatively smooth transition to sound films than for her performance. however and some of the academy voters may have seen the german language version of the film and and they realized and as will contemporary viewers and that her anna christie under feyder direction was definitely oscar worthy.

"after garbo introduction to sound in clarence brown anna christie and jacques feyder made a german version of the movie where all of the cast and except for garbo and were different. while the american version is still more available in the usa and most of the american viewers have primarily seen this version and the germna anna christie is more likely to be viewed in europe. as i have seen both films and i feel the right to compare the two closely knit productions. is jacques feyder film different. is it better than clarence brown . in this analysis and i would like to focus first on what the both movies have in common. they have identical sets and very similar scripts and the same chronologically presented scenes. here and you also find the story of the young woman who comes back to her father after years of absence and is trying to start a new life. here and you also have the humorous and though a bit shorter and sequence in the amusement park. however and when emphasizing garbo herself and i address the first difference. she does not appear to cause such a curiosity while talking. the viewer concentrates more on her acting than on the way she speaks and which occurred and most probably and to 1931 viewers. garbo was very good in american film and she is also very good here. yet and to me and she seems even more genuine in the german version. it is noticeable that garbo does not focus on the way she says the words that much (the effort that was artificially created by the sensation represent garbo talks. ). her german is not very well pronounced while yet no one cares represent everything is perfectly understood. therefore and i can easily say the same i did in my american version comment represent skaal greta garbo. yet and the film differs in one very important issue represent the rest of the cast. here comes the question represent which portrayal seems more captivating and which one is better for sure. the differences are filled with varieties. salka viertel (or salka steuerman) and garbo lifelong friend and does not do the equally great job as marie dressler in the role of marthy owens. she is not bad and she is different and sometimes overacts (from today perspective) but is no longer that genuine in the role as marie dressler who still amuses us and whose moments have absolutely stood a test of time. some people even claim that dressler was better than garbo in the film and that opinion and though appears to be questionable of course and carries some truth. theo shall is more sympathetic as matt than charles bickford but when applied to him and this is not the matter of performance so much as the mater of looks. who shines in the german anna christie and who is really worth greatest attention is hans junkermann in the role of chris christopherson and anna father. george f. marion vs hans junkermann is like a day vs night difference. junkermann portrays a real alcohol addict and a man with hopes and with fears and who overdoes the care of his daughter. the scene of anna first meeting with her father is truly magnificent and the opening moment of chris conversation with marthy is memorable particularly thanks to his facial expressions and a flawless performance. junkermann is the chris whom you like and who you sometimes laugh at and whom you sympathize with and who leaves a picture of a calm alcoholic sailor in your mind. great. if you have seen the american anna christie and have a chance to get the german version and i would highly recommend to you this movie because it a slightly different look at the story and a nice and accurate way to compare and a fine enrichment to clarence brown movie and and foremost and a wonderful chance to discover a marvel of performance represent hans junkermann . skaal or prost and hans junkermann.

"anna christie (1931)on its own terms and this version of garbo anna christie and shot a year later in german with a whole new cast and is just toned down and refined enough to work better than the english version (both are american mgm productions). garbo is if anything more commanding (or more beautiful as a screen presence) and her acting is more restrained. and she seems frankly more at ease and probably for a lot of reasons and but we can speculate that she was no longer making her first talking picture and so had adjusted quickly. without comparing always one film to the other and this anna christie is still the same oneill play with too many words. his themes of a woman wanting love without losing her independence are here and but it comes off as oddly old fashioned anyway. there are some scenes missing the coney island section is shortened and isn not as good but overall it a direct echo of the first film. the director and jacques feyder (belgian french) and is simply redoing what was done already and which i assume must be a frustrating experience. it interesting to see both films in succession because they are blocked out exactly the same way (not only the sets and but the shots and are all the same). there is an occasional scene lifted from the earlier film some of the storm and understandably and but also a brief scene where marie dressler (from the english language version) is walking with her friend on a plank over a canal and drunk as can be. but they are just silhouettes and and when the next scene shows their faces and we see the german actors taking their parts. there is no replacing dressler and for sure and but for me the german father is more believable and honest in his performance. clearly the themes immigration and wayward fathers and daughters turning to prostitution and and the troubles of finding true love have strong currents back then and especially with european threads (garbo and appropriately and plays a swedish young woman).

"fragile carne and just before his great period. although it is sometimes hesitantly directed and and marred by longueurs and hotel du nord is full of the faded charm and beauty typical of french films of the late 1930s and as well as a relative lightness of touch unusual with this director. all of his great virtues are here represent the cramped interiors broken up by gliding and complex and delicious camera movements while a melancholy deployment of light and shade while remarkable and wistful sets by alexander trauner and which are so evocative that they and as the title suggests and take on a shaping personality of their own while the quietly mournful music of maurice jaubert while a seemingly casual plot about romance and tragedy and fatalism that casts a noose over its characters while extraordinary performances by some of the greatest players of all time and in this case louis jouvet and arletty. in fact and the film biggest failing and and i find myself astonished (as someone who usually and didactically and minimises its importance) to admit it and is its script. it has plenty of wit and poignancy and but without the poetry and irony regular carne collaborator jacques prevert brought to their best films and it cannot avoid slipping into cliche (even if it is only cliche in hindsight). ostensibly set in the boarding house and the film sets up its opening idea of community with two interconnecting tales of doomed love and and emotional and metaphysical and actual isolation the doomed love scenario is the one that works least well. annabella is very beautiful and but not very good at doing tragic and while aumont callowness and brilliantly appropriate though it may be and by its nature obtrudes any real and felt and romance. maybe it just me and but i find it hard to sympathise with a couple and so young and so attractive and who and after only a few months and are so racked with despair that they have to shoot each other. their high flown lines are rather embarrassing too. of course and this affair is not meant to be plausible they are symbolic of youth and hope and possibility being crushed in france and or maybe france itself and despairing and resigned and waiting for death. for symbols to be truly powerful and they must convince on a narrative level and which and i feel and they do not quite here. what saves this plot is its connection with the story of m. edmond and a character linked to the great tradition of french gangsters. although we only learn it gradually and he is a killer in hiding and living off the prostitute played by arletty and having dobbed in his accomplices. in his previous role and the theatricality of his position is crucial he had one set of traits while in hiding he has assumed their complete opposite. living a rather aimless life and he is profoundly shaken by the lovers pact and and becomes fatalistic and realising the folly of trying to cheat death. in this way the admission that one is less a person than a collection of signs and and that death is an unavoidable reality the most powerful masculinity must succumb to edmond is like a romantic prototype of melville clinical killers. with one exception he gives briefly into hope and a delusion which only strenghtens if that not too much of an unbearable irony his fatal resolve. all this could have been trite if it wasn not for the truly amazing performance of louis jouvet. i had studied his theatrical work at college and but this was my first taste of his screen talents and and he reveals himself to be worthy of the greats grant and mastroianni and clift and mason and mitchum and cotten giving a quiet nobility to a role which is more of a conception (he and needless to say and is allegorical too) than an actual person. edmond begins the film a minor supporting character and but emerges as a tragic hero of some force. like all those major actors and jouvet brilliance lies in what he conceals. on a formal level and what amazes is carne grasping and ten years before its flourishing and of the techniques of the great hollywood melodramas of sirk and ophuls and ray and minnelli. although his theatricality lacks the fluidity and clear eyed beauty of sierck contemporary german melodramas (check out the masterpieces zu neuen ufern and la habenera) and carne style truly fits his theme that of entrapment and paralysis and resignation. the film principle motif is that of water the credits float and dissolve and the hotel stands by a waterway but instead of renoir open river of possibility and we have a canal and stagnant and manmade and going nowhere. the film begins as it ends and and the setting never changes and except for one brief interlude from which both escapees are doomed to return. characters can only escape through death their entrapment is emphasised by the narrow rooms they occupy and the walls and frames that hold them captive and the windows that look out on an escape they can never achieve. any hope at the end and therefore and is profoundly and if romantically and compromised.

"hotel du nord is the only carné movie from the 1936 1946 era which has dialogs not written by jacques prévert and but by henri jeanson. janson was much more interested in the jouvet or arletty couple than in the pair of lovers and annabella or aumont. the latter is rather bland and and their story recalls oddly the edith piaf song les amants dun jour and except that the chanteuse tale is a tragic one. what fascinating today is this popular little world and the canal saint martin settings. this movie is dear to the french movies buffs for another very special reason. the pimp jouvet tells his protégée raymonde he wants a change of air(atmosphère) because she does not understand the meaning of the world atmosphère and the whore raymonde (wonderful arletty)thinks it an insult and she delivers this line and that is and undeniably and the most famous of the whole french cinéma representin french representatmosphère. atmosphère. est ce que jai une gueule datmosphère. translation attempt representatmosphere. atmosphere. have i got an atmosphere face. this is our french nobody perfect.

"i suppose i always felt that hotel du nord was studio bound and the movement of people cars and camera were just too effortlessly smooth and stagey to have been filmed on location. but no problem it still a much underrated lovely composition from marcel carne. the plot seems a bit choppy at times and as if they were making it up as they went along and but because it is unpredictable holds the attention to the bitter end. the money shots when the 2 lovers are alone in their room are saddled with some rather stilted dialogue and but it all so lovely to fall into any inanity can be accepted. are these 2 young people symbols of a cancerous hopelessness in pre war france or simply idiots. suicide pacts are fairly common while if the suicidees are young and healthy with their lives before them untrammelled would you think anything other than that they were just misguided fools. arletty played the part of prostitute well she kept that zipper on her dress busy throughout anyway. i have only seen a few films with jouvet he is the most impressive invention as pimp in hdn my trouble is shallow represent every time i see his face i think of sonnie hale in evergreen. a remarkably atmospheric and well acted and photographed film with so much happening it needs a few viewings to get it all in place. annabella and aumont made an exceptionally beautiful couple while francois (heurtebise) perier in his 2nd film had a small amusing part as a gay man. all in all represent wonderful.

"hotel du nord is a gripping drama of guilt in which marcel carne portrayed an entertaining tale of ill fated love which also functions as a revolt against the cruel world. the film is based entirely on a pair of hapless lovers. pierre and renee were mistaken when they believed that suicide would put an end to their misery. hotel du nord has its own inimitable charm as its inhabitants have become an essential part of the establishment. there is an element of togetherness as everyone flocks to hotel du nord to eat and chat etc. marcel carne has remained true to the spirit of the films produced in 30s and 40s as hotel du nord has a certain kind of nostalgic feel. carne and while recreating the life of parisian roads was able to create a sort of nostalgia for black and white giving a unique genre of poetic realism to his oeuvre. hotel du nord can be termed as a quintessence of cinematographic populism. the 14th july ball scene on the banks of saint martin canal remains a magnificent sequence. the film immense popularity can be judged from the fact that hotel du nord has been declared as a national monument.

"before all and i would like to point out that i have not read the book and so there was no chance i would be disappointed in that aspect. the major flaw i spotted was historical detail and with several cars and trains and clothes and etc. i think do not belong at that time. possible spoilerthe technical aspect of the film is ok and nothing to brag about. but the acting and i think and was terrific. i do not have no experience in acting and still i can not believe how people can consider this terrible. maybe they have only seen two movies (ever) and and the other one must have been very good indeed. i specially liked jeremy irons and and really understood his character and someone who crawled up the social ladder with very hard work and then fights against those who would take his life work from him and only he gets so involved in this fight and he doesn not realize reason is no longer at his side and and he ends up a beaten and disappointed man. irons made this so believable and i sympathized with the character despite his brutality. after jeremy irons and winona ryder is also wonderful as a romantic young women and who is drawn into the revolutionary ideals by her boyfriend (banderas and he had an under developed part and i think) and and glenn close was also very good. meryl streep had an average performance and it was not bad and just not up to the standards of the other actors. watch out for miguel guilherme and a fine portuguese actor and between so many stars. in contrast to today movies and here only the interpretations and only people matter and but at the same time and it is not a pretensious film and too worried trying to be intellectual. the best proof i really liked it and i am writing a review 7 years later.

"the house of the spirits is a gripping tale of family intrigue and south american politics and super natural powers. meryl streep and glenn close and jeremy irons bring isabel allende novel to life with all its passion and suspense. this and in my view and is one of the best films of the 1990s. jeremy irons as esteban trueba ages and mellows very believably and while meryl streep in the role of clara maintains her gentle and loving warmth throughout her relatively short life. winona ryder and antonio banderas make a handsome couple struggling for family acceptance in a racist culture. glenn close and as esteban sister and gives a very moving performance. the countryside of portugal is a reasonable substitute for a non tropical latin american country. settings of clara home and esteban ranch are effective and the period us cars add nicely to the post war atmosphere.

"i always feel strange and guilty saying it (because i am a fairly well educated non teenager) and but i actually sort of like the olsen twins and and i respect the movies they make and even though i have never really been their target audience. when in rome was a traditional mary kate and ashley movie and complete with the foreign travel and accents and motorbikes and adult romance as a b storyline and fashion orientation and and even the gag reel over the credits. i enjoyed myself. when in rome and the other olsen twin movies never pretend to be anything theyre not while most of the time and they only premiere on video and and they never claim to be the next citizen kane or even an affair to remember. my point is and people who watch this movie and expect it to be anything other than another olsen twin movie will be disappointed. that said and those who are fans of the olsen twins will really enjoy themselves. for those of us who have watched them since the first episodes of full house and it really great to see them growing into more mature roles. this movie provides important historical and geographical information and just like many of their other movies (remember 10 downing street from winning london and the visit to the louvre from passport to paris. ) as well as providing good and clean fun that can be enjoyed by the whole family. as long as i still feel like i am on my soapbox and and as long as i can make it relevant to the movie and let me take a moment to challenge those who reject the olsen twins represent in order to be a fan of the olsen twins and you do not have to be some pre teen valley girl from california. in fact and that not really the target audience. if it were and the mk and a fashion line of clothes and accessories would be run through gap or some store like that and not wal mart. when in rome and while it does feature high fashion and globe trotting and two girls from a valley in cali and isn not really about that. it more about inspiring young girls who have initiative to let it take them places. if that means setting the movie in some glamorous foreign city with cute guys on motorbikes and so be it. that called marketing you take an idea and sell it by making it appealing. at least theyre sending a good message and even if the means seem a little superficial. basically and do not knock the film until you have seen it and and then do not knock it until you have tried to understand what the olsen twins do represent they encourage young girls to be creative and intuitive and and driven young women. this movie does that and i think and just like their others. kids enjoy. parents do the same. if you like the olsen twins and you would not be disappointed.

"if you haven not already seen this movie of mary kate and ashley and then all i can say is represent what are you waiting for. this is yet another terrific and wonderful movie by the fraternal twins that we all know and love so much. it fun and romantic and exciting and absolutely breath taking (scenery wise). of course while as always and mary kate and ashley are the main scenery here anyway. would any true fan want it any other way. of course not. anyway while it a great movie in every sense of the word and so if you haven not already seen it then you just have to now. i mean right now too. so what are you waiting for. i promise that you would not be disappointed. sincerely and rick morris.

"for years we have been watching every horror film that comes out and from the dull hollywood retreads like saw 2 and to awful indie releases that are completely unmatchable. we suffer through all of bad films in hopes of finding little gems like dark remains. we managed to catch a screening of this film at shriekfest 2005. the audience loved it and i believe it ended up winning the award for the best film. while it may not have the budget or star power of studio films and it packs a serious punch in the creepy atmosphere and scare category. the acting and cinematography are top notch and but it the direction that makes this film worth the view. the story and characters develop at just the right pace to provide some fantastic scares. the editing and visual fx are also top notch. and while many horror films do not manage to use music to their benefit and the score for dark remains only adds to it creepiness. i know the film has shown at a bunch of festivals and but none have been near me and so i can not wait to hear when it will finally be coming out on dvd. trust me and even if youre sick of the current state of horror films and give this one a try. you would not regret it.

"what good about it represent some inventive and genuinely creepy little effects that will get under the skin of even the most seasoned horror fan. doesn not rely on the hackneyed soundtrack stabs for its gotcha moments. even if you have seen everything and there still a few things in this film that will make your jaw drop. what could have been better about it represent the acting was and at times and flat and unconvincing. it had a shot on video quality in some places (though and it mostly achieved the atmosphere it was striving for) and and the camera work is full of needless close ups of meaningless actions. though the effects are genuinely creepy and i think they may have gone to the well a few too many times with some of them. the ending seemed rushed and and glossed over what could have been more impactful moments. the viewer is left to figure out a lot of things for themselves and not as a challenge by the filmmakers and but because they just missed it. still and a good little indie horror film that is easily several steps above the average. well worth the rental.

"finally and an indie film that actually delivers some great scares. i see most horror films that come out. theatrical and straight to dvd and cable and etc. and most of them suck. a few are watchable. even fewer are actually good. dark remains is one of the good ones. i caught a screening of this film at the south padre island film festival. the audience loved it. and my wife and i loved it. having no name actors and i assume the budget on this film was pretty low and but you do not know it. the film looks fantastic. the acting totally works for the film. the story is good. and the scares are great. while most filmmakers focus solely on the scares and they often forget about story and character development and two things that help to deliver the scares more efficiently. brian avenet bradley must know that character and story are important. he develops both to the point where you care about the characters and you know the characters and and are therefore more scared when they are in danger. watching horror films that cost anywhere from $80 million to $5000 to make and i find dark remains to be one of the gems out there. check this film out.

"after all the crap that hollywood (and the indies) have churned out and we finally get a movie that delivers some scary moments. there are some clichéd moments and but i am not sure it possible nowadays to make an entirely original movie. there not much new here. it just done well. make sure and pay attention and as the subtle scares come quickly and often. this is not a movie to watch while youre eating pizza. there one very well written red herring in this movie and and unfortunately and one very poorly cast role. cheri christian just doesn not make an effective julie (the wife or mother). for one thing and she totally unsympathetic. i know and i know. she just gone through a traumatic experience. but the viewer never gets to know her as she normally is and the relationship between her and her husband is rather discomforting (in an unintentional way). i think that the director had meant for us to have some sympathy for her and but i never did. finally and a thumbs up for the ending and which is both disturbing and satisfying. it could easily have been cheapened with a sound effect at the beginning of the end credits and but the director wisely resisted. this is not a masterpiece by any means and but it is a good and old fashioned scary movie. something that rather rare nowadays.

"this movie was very good. if you are one who likes to watch horror movies and i recommend it. the acting was very good although i thought that the actress playing julie could have had more emotion behind her lines. allan was very good and i thought the cinematography was amazing. i was on the edge of my seat the entire time while my friends were freaking out and screaming. it was a complete success in my opinion and should have made it to the big screen. i give it two thumbs up. i definitely would say that if you haven not already seen it then go rent it. if you have seen it and do not like it go and watch it again because there are parts that were completely unreal. i also liked how a lot of the movie was filmed around and on my school campus.

"allen and julie move into a cabin in the mountains after their daughter is murdered one night. no one knows who killed the little girl but it why they moved to the mountains. so the couple moves into this cabin and it haunted by people who killed themselves there and no one in the nearby town wants to talk about it. this movie has a lot of creepiness to it and it has a lot of parts that made me jump. some of the parts are predictable but once in a while there is a part i do not expect. it was a pretty good movie that wasn not the scariest movie in the world but it was still scary enough to make it pretty good. i also liked the ending because it left the viewer to decide how it ends. it is also kind of a sad movie as well but a well done horror movie.

"first and nobody can understand why this movie is rated so poorly. not only is this the first real horrific movie since a very long time for me who am pretty hard boiled with a decades long experience of horror starting with driving through dark rides (ghost trains) as a child. second and the main actress cheri christian has a face that lets you hope she will be the leading actress in major pictures of the future. third and this woman is that tremendously beautiful that i suggest the directors retire all those cameron diazes and eva mendezes and and how ever the names of these ephemeral bulb lights are. mrs. christian is not a light and but a sun. however and dark remains is also of considerable metaphysical importance. they idea that photographs shows creatures of the intermediary reign between reality and imagination that are not visible with one own eyes is not new. but i have never seen in a movie before that those creatures are visible on the photographs only for certain people and only to certain times. this means that the photo is not just an iconic picture of reality (by which reality turns into a sign) and but becomes an alternative form of reality which can change as the real reality can. being a sign and the changing of the picture means that it influences the photographed objects and i. e. the sign behaves like an object. now and in our usual world of perception and it is common that objects change signs. f. ex. and if someone grows a bird and his photograph will show him with beard and not without and as it did before. but the opposite and the changing of objects by signs would imply that the photo with beard is first and only then the beard grows on the man. this is and very simply expressed and the case that happen with the photos taken by the main character in the prison and in this movie. this is new and and we must be thankful for everything new in horror movies which usually just repeat and reorder effects and features that are already well known and mostly since the silent time.

"i am not at all picky about horror movies and and i am willing to watch pretty much any of them. that doesn not mean that i am willing to re watch many of them and or that i would not have criticism for them. this movie is creepy and and is very well done. in fact and i think this movie would make an excellent double bill with session 9. i should specify and before i get to my comments and that i watched this alone. i started watching it before going to bed and and got about 15 minutes in before i realized that it was too effective and so i saved the rest of it for the morning. even while watching it in broad daylight and it was still creepy. however and i can not vouch for how effective it would be when watching in a larger group. after the death of their daughter and a couple move to a remote cabin as a means of trying to come to terms with this death. let me make note of this death this is one of the rare movies that doesn not shy away from the death of a child. this is much more important and as it both sets the tone and as well as explains much of the acting that permeates the movie. the couple is not doing well. the wife has distanced herself from the relationship and and the husband is doing what he can to try to bring her back. while some of the comments have complained about their acting one specified that they act more like a father and daughter than husband and wife and and that legitimate. he trying to give her more direction. it a role that men sometimes take on. there are a variety of scares in the film and and most are fairly non violent and though grotesque in some ways. the story itself feels very straightforward for most of the film and and takes an odd turn near the end. while the turn is not absurd and it is certainly not what you expected from the way things had been progressing. moody and atmospheric and and very well done for something that appears to have been shot on video.

"dark remains is a home run plain and simple. the film is full of creepy visuals and and scares that will make the most seasoned horror veteran jump straight out of there seat. the staircase scene in particular and these guys are good. although they weren not working on a huge budget everything looks good and and the actors come through. dark remains does have one of those interpretive endings which may be a negative for some and but i guess it makes you think. cheri christian and greg thompson are spot on as the grieving couple trying to rebuild there lives and however some side characters like the sheriff do not convince me. they aren not all that important anyways. i give dark remains a perfect ten rating for being ten times scarier than any recent studio ghost story or japanese remake.

"well and this film is a difficult one really. to be straight with you and this film doesn not contain much of a riveting story and nore does it make u want to know how it will end. but i will tell you something now. never have i been as tense and jumped up before in my life. this film sure does deliver the jumps and thrills. to be fair and i did watch it at almost midnight so i was kinda sleepy anyway and so maybe that explains why i was jumpy. or maybe it because this film does deliver in that aspect. it basically about a couple who lose their child in a tragic event. they decide to move away and rent a cabin looking thing in the mountains. all looks peaceful and calm until they have their first visitors (i think it it the sister of the main character and and she brings along her husband). during the night and the husband hears noises. checks it out and and thats when things start to go really really wrong. they do not stay for another day and tell the couple they should leave asap as something isn not right. to cut a long story short. eventually they find out what has happened in that house in the past few years and decide it needs to be taken care of. it not a hollywood blockbuster and nore does it have a huge budget and but please do not let that put you off. it creepy and tense and very very jumpy. just give it a try positive.

"i just watched this movie and have to say and i was very impressed. it very creepy and has numerous moments that will make you jump out of seat. i had to smoke several emergency cigarettes along the way to calm my nerves. if i had to criticise and i would say that perhaps if anything and there were too many jump moments. it got to the point where every single new scene climaxed with a jump and this gradually wore away the startling effect and because you kind of new what was coming. although it contains virtually every cliché in the ghost genre and they were all done so well that it maintained the creepy and fear factor. it had elements of the shining and the 6th sense and the changeling (in particular and the soundtrack reminded me of the changeling). i would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good old fashioned scare.

"although i was in this movie playing the part of sheriff hodges and it still managed to make me jump in several places and believe me i am not that easy. you might say that i am biased about the film and and and ok and i am and but i do not see the finished product until 12/27/2006 and was extremely pleased. i am not a horror film fan as such but love the old b movies and black and white sci fi films. this movie will make you think you know when something is going to happen and then it doesn not and then it does. it will keep you completely off balance. i would suggest watching the movie first then the director notes and special features. it is so well written and directed and filmed and i can tell you personally that it was a real joy to work with this cast and crew. i sincerely hope to be part of brian and laurence future projects.

"i read nothing but good things about this movie and finally had a chance to watch it late last night and it was everything i expected it to be and more. this is the way a proper horror movie should be. i think the reason it was so scary was because it was so realistic. the spooky sounding score was perfect for setting a dark mood. i liked the dramatic opening scene and enjoyed how the rest of the movie played out. it was very easy to follow and understand unlike some movies which are way too complicated. the special effects were very good. i would love to see more horror movies like this one. this is easily one of my favorite . a realistic thunder and lightning storm would have set a nice atmosphere for this movie. other then that it had all the elements a good horror movie needs. i highly recommend this movie to anyone who can appreciate a good scary movie that pulls no punches. i will be adding it to my collection. the dvd has some interesting special features.

"ok and so i do not watch too many horror movies and the reason is films like dark remains. i caught this on (a surprisingly feature filled) dvd and it scared me silly. in fact the only extra i think the dvd was missing was a pair of new pants. however and the next day i was telling someone about it when i realised i would only really seen about 10% of it. the rest of the time i would been watching the pizza on my coffee table nervous that my girlfriend would catch me if i actually covered my eyes. the few times i did brave watching the screen i jumped so hard that i decided not to look up again. the film making is solid and the characters situation was really compelling. the simplicity of the film is what really captured my jump button it merely a woodland and a cabin and a disused jail and a lot of darkness. most surprising to me was the fact that while this was clearly not a multi million dollar production and the make up effects really looked like it was. also and it obvious this is a film made by someone with a great love of film making. the sound design and the music really made use of my surround system like many hollywood movies have never done. i noticed on line that this film won the la shriekfest a really major achievement and and i guess that the festival had seen the filmmakers clear talent and probably a great deal more of this movie than i managed to. turn up the sound and turn off the lights and and and if you want to keep your girlfriend order a pizza.

"i do not know the real events when i sat down to watch this and just the fact that this was based upon a true story. after the death of the kid father and rhonda tries to help her daughter desiree(. i did not know anyone actually named their offspring that) cope with the loss. this is really made for children and as is often the case with family flicks(with that said and go ahead and get everyone together for a viewing and though i would keep teenagers out of it and unless youre sure theyre gonna buy the concept) and but it doesn not downplay the sting that the death of a parent is and and it doesn not really talk down to anyone. the plot is sufficiently interesting and and moves along well enough. acting varies and with the excellent burstyn outshining most of her fellow cast and mathis following that pretty well and and ferland and her peers(with a few exceptions) being the least convincing of the bunch(and frankly and theyre irritating while then again and i am not really in the intended audience for this thing). the editing and cinematography are standard and and certainly not less than that. while humor is limited to a handful of amusing lines or so and the tone is not an unpleasant one. there is an intense scene or two in this. i recommend this to fans of these types of movies. positive .

"i just saw this movie on tv. i have lost my dad when i was young and this movie surely did touch me. i can feel the lost that the little girl desi felt. the feeling of wanting to see her father again. wanting to talk to him. or at least given the chance to say goodbye. and i am so touched with the letter that was wrote back to her. saying that her father read her letter and and sent it back to someone to reply her and buy her a present because there isn not a shop in heaven. it just lets me feel that miracles do exist.

"it is a great movie. i sow that some people think that this might not be based on a true story. no matter this . and the movie is great and and all u can think is not why a balloon with a mermaid on it ends up flying in the mermaid town and so on and instead thinking that a little girl wish came true and and this means that all our peaceful dreams will come true if we trust in us and and do all in this world to make them true. the little girl (desi in the movie) and and her mom and were the best actors i have been seen in a long time. good for they and for all actors and all for the director. if someone can tell them this and please tell them and a 25 year guy from romania says thank you for making this movie.

"ok and this movie starts out like a cheesy lifetime movie and doesn not get better till almost well through the movie. the script is full of cheese and fluff and cast is not well directed for the most part. for the first half of the movie the little girl grated on my nerves. i do not think this is one of her best acting jobs. the only reason i bought the movie is because it was on sale and had ellen burstyn in it. she terrific but this is also not one of her best acting gigs. the story is based on true events and that helps the movie. actually and i do not even like the movie at first and was getting disgusted when i saw stills of the balloon traveling and i mean. let it get where it suppose to go and be done with it. but all is forgiven by the time it does reach it destination and the story comes to a close. if this doesn not bring a tear to your eye and nothing will. it cheesy and predictable but also makes you feel good about the world again.

"this is the first jean renoir silent film i have watched and perhaps rightly so since it is generally regarded to be his best and besides being also his first major work. overall and it is indeed a very assured and technically accomplished film which belies the fact that it was only renoir’s sophomore effort. for fans of the director and it is full of interesting hints at future renoir movies especially the diary of a chambermaid (1946) and the golden coach (1952) – in its depiction of a lower class femme fatale madly desired by various aristocrats who disgrace themselves for her – but also the rules of the game (1939) – showing as it does in one sequence how the rowdy servants behave when their masters backs are turned away from them – and french cancan (1955) – nana is seen having a go at the scandalous dance at one point. personally and i would say that the film makes for a respectable companion piece to g. w. pabst’s pandora’s box (1928) and josef von sternberg’s the blue angel (1930) and max ophuls’ lola montes (1955) in its vivid recreation of the sordid life of a courtesan. having said all that and the film was a resounding critical and commercial failure at the time of its release – a “mad undertaking” as renoir himself later referred to it in his memoirs which and not only personally cost him a fortune (he eventually eased the resulting financial burden by selling off some of his late father’s paintings) and but almost made him give up the cinema for good. stylistically and nana is quite different from renoir’s sound work and owes a particular debt to erich von stroheim’s foolish wives (1922) and a film renoir greatly admired – and and on a personal note and one which i really ought to revisit presto (having owned the kino dvd of it and the other von stroheims for 4 years now). anyway and nana is certainly not without its flaws represent a deliberate pace makes itself felt during the overly generous 130 minute running time with some sequences (the horse race around the mid point in particular) going on too long. the overly mannered acting style on display is also hard to take at times – particularly that of catherine hessling’s nana and raymond guerin catelain’s georges hugon (one of her various suitors)…although and technically and they are being their characters i. e. a bad actress (who takes to the courtesan lifestyle when she is booed off the stage) and an immature weakling and respectively. however and like anna magnani in the golden coach and hessling (renoir’s wife at the time and by the way) is just not attractive enough to be very convincing as “the epitome of elegance” (as another admirer describes her at one stage) who is able to enslave every man she meets. other notables in the cast are “dr. caligari” himself and werner krauss (as nana’s most fervent devotee and count muffat) and jean angelo (as an initially skeptical but eventually tragic suitor of nana’s) and future distinguished film director claude autant lara (billed as claude moore and also serving as art director here) as muffat’s close friend but who is secretly enamored with the latter’s neglected wife. the print i watched – via lionsgate’s “jean renoir 3 disc collector’s edition” – is and for the most part and a lovingly restored and beautifully tinted one which had been previously available only on french dvd. being based on a classic of french literature (by emile zola and no less) and it cannot help but having been brought to the screen several times and the two most notable film versions are dorothy arzner’s in 1934 (with anna sten and lionel atwill and which i own on vhs) and christian jaque’s in 1955 (with martine carol and charles boyer and which i am not familiar with).

"if jean renoir first film whirlpool of fate first takes us into the world of the countryside and the rivers and the lives of the peasantry that he will continue to explore and it seems only fitting that his second film deals for the most part with the wealthy and the privileged and the upper classes and those who are trying to claw their way upwards. put the characters from the first two films together and you have the seeds of his great grand illusion and rules of the game. this is beautifully filmed and with the restless camera making full use of the amazingly huge apartments and backstage areas that dominate the film interiors and and the acting though frequently overwrought offers some great moments as well and particularly from werner krauss muffat. but the glamorous and sultry ms. hessling and who at first appears as if she might give louise brooks a run for her money in vampishness and never goes beyond a one note and selfish harlot portrayal. perhaps this is in part a problem with the script and which does seem to mostly go for high points and outraged emotions while not having read the novel i am not really clear on whether the choices were well made or not. still and the differences between nana suitors are well drawn and and i particularly liked the relationship between muffat and jean angelo vandeuvres the tragic understandings that each seems to have of his ultimate fate and their sympathy with each other and particularly in the scene at the bottom of the enormous staircase where vandeuvres warns muffat and and we wonder if violence will erupt this and other gleanings of the ridiculousness of the idle rich help give the film the depth it has. far from his greatest achievement and and for me probably just shy overall of whirlpool of fate and this is still well worth seeing for renoir fans or those interested in silent cinema generally.

"i definitely recommend reading the book prior to watching the film. this book won national book council award in 1978 and is a very gripping read (pun not intended). it not too difficult to read for those out there that do not read often so do not be afraid. the book seems to capture the passion of the relationships more so than the movie and the movie will make more sense after reading the book. having grown up in melbourne i could really relate to this book and movie. very few australian female writers were around the in the 70 therefore very little is documented about the way of life for a women in an urban city in australia during this era or class. it a precious piece of melbourne history. it a shame that it is documented as some sort of 80 soft porn movie. it far from that and as the other reviewer has mentioned please do not read the dvd jacket and it does not represent what the movie is about at all. those that rent the movie based on this description will only be disappointed. just remember this movie was made in 1982 and so do not expect the hollywood over dramatization that they seem to incorporate these days. this is what i like about it. it also great seeing noni hazlehurst in this role and she is just fantastic as nora and it great watching her really acting and for if youre close to my age you will best remember her for her stints on playschool and better homes and gardens. who knew she hid this talent. this movie will give you an entirely new impression of her. a classic australian story.

"nora is a single mother of two who still wants to live the life of a young artist in the 1970s and as do her friends and a group of writers and singers and actors. the free love philosophy isn not quite out of the system and nora do not count on falling in love and particularly with a junkie. hazlehurst won her first of two afi awards in the space of four years for her amazing portrayal of nora and who makes sure she does the right thing by her children and but falls in love with junkie javo (friels) at the same time. garner who would later costar in films such as love and other catastrophes and strange planet is well cast as nora pre pubescent daughter and and caton (perhaps in readiness for his role as host of the lifestyle program hot property in 2000. ) appears as a bearded painter. early effort by director cameron is a winner while he went on to make the award winning miniseries my brother jack among his later projects. but it the stunning delivery by hazlehurst which brings to life the intelligent and searching script and based on helen garner award winning novel.

"a clever script from the late sebastian japrisot and smart performances from the two male leads alain delon and charles bronson (or should it be the other way around) result in an engaging and entertaining thriller. add to the above the competent direction from veteran jean herman and a sparse but effective score by francois de roubaix and it becomes easy why this film has an odd timeless quality. this is a buddy buddy or bonding story with two loners and both disillusioned and world weary and returning and presumably from algiers. like the other colonial powers of this time (post ww ii leading into the 60s) and france had struggled to keep up appearances overseas. losing algiers was a bitter blow. adieu lami (the original title) chronicles the actions of our two (anti) heroes as they struggle to make a go of it and after their discharge. one thing happens after another and and the viewer really has to pay attention and because japrisot is lean and economical with his script represent if it is there and then there must be a reason. suffice to say and these two men battle it out and physically and psychologically and one long weekend. their motivation is quite different and their goals are different their survival depends entirely on each other. that alain delon and charles bronson are outwardly so different the former and arguably a pretty boy and and the latter an ugly thug and adds to the chemistry. that quest makes for a great story and which in turn and makes for a great film. lest i forget there are women in this film and and true to the japrisot method and they too are memorable and though not nearly as fleshed out while to say much more would be to spoil one delight in discovering their true nature. farewell and friend has been released in the uk while an anamorphic image and 16. 9 enhanced while in english only (not even subtitles for the hard of hearing) while a running time of 110 minutes while mono soundtrack but the de roubaix music has lots of punch. highly recommended.

"farewell friend aka adieu lami or honour among thieves isn not perfect but it is a neat and entertaining thriller that sees mismatched demobbed french algerian war veterans alain delon and charles bronson trapped in the same basement vault and one to return stolen bonds and the other to clean out the two million in wages sitting there over the christmas weekend. naturally things aren not quite that simple even after they open the vault and leading to some neat twists and turns. on the debit side and there a very bizarre striptease scene in a car park and bronson has a very irritating fonzie like catchphrase he uses at the most inopportune moments and brigitte fossey and sporting perhaps the most hideously misconceived hairstyle of the 60s (it makes her look like a bald woman whose wig is blown back off the top of her head by a high wind) and is something of a liability her i will cook spaghetti. i will learn to make love well. i will read shakespeare. speech is hysterical in all the wrong ways and it a shame about the horrible last line or shot and but otherwise this is a surprisingly entertaining and unpretentious number that worth checking out if you can find a decent print. cinema club uk dvd only offers the english soundtrack and but since delon voices himself and the rest of the cast are fairly well dubbed that no great problem and especially since the widescreen transfer is pretty good quality.

"utterly tactical and strange (watch for the kinky moment of a drop dead gorgeous blonde acting as pull string doll for some rich folks) and pointless but undoubtedly compelling late night feature. this unhinged french production is a stew of perplexedly unfocused ideas and random plot illustrations centred on its very charismatic stars (if somewhat anti heroes) alain delon and charles bronson. really they do not get to do all that much and especially during the confined and lengthy mid section where they hide themselves in a building during the christmas break to crack a safe with 10 and 000 possible combinations. oh fun. but this is when the odd and if intriguing relationship is formed between delon and bronson characters. after a manipulative battle of wills (and childishly sly games against each other) and the two come to an understanding that sees them honour each other involvement and have a mutual respect. this would go on to play a further part in the twisty second half of the story with that undetectable curve ball. still their encounters early on suggest there more and but what we get is vague and this is magnified by that what just happen there. ending that might just make you jump. yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhh. glad to get that out of the system. the pacing is terribly slow and but placidly measured for it and this seems purposely done to exhaust with its edgy and nervous underlining tension. watch as the same process is repeated over and over again and and you know something is not quite right and the scheming eventually comes into play. now everything that does happen feels too spontaneous and but the climax payoff is haunting. the taut and complex script is probably a little too crafty for its own good and but there are some neat novelties (coins and glass and liquids
try not spilling) and visual symbolisms. jean herman direction is efficiently sophisticated and low key and but get a tad artificial and infuse an unwelcoming icy atmosphere. the sound fx features more as a potent note and than that of francois deroubaix funky score that mainly kept under wrapped after its sizzling opening. top drawers delon (who quite steely) and bronson (a jovial turn) are solid and and work off each tremendously. bernard fresson chalks up the attitude as the inspector who knows there more going on than what is being led on. an attractive female cast features able support by brigitte fossey and olga georges picot. a cryptically directionless and but polished crime drama maintained by its two leads and some bizarre inclusions.

"short synopsis this film opens with soldiers being released from the company of men. one of them pursues another with a weird scheme the other repeatedly refuses. later they both get trapped in an office building in which they want to crack a safe during the christmas holidays. hostility turns into playful banter and then into a desperate fight for survival (during the bantering they lose all drinkable liquids and so it is really serious). with exposed and well built and well oiled torsos they ram a hole into a wall and finally manage to escape only to find out that they have been betrayed and set up by women. one gets caught and the other remains free and is not given away by his companion. a last encounter and a last light for a cigarette and adieu lami and farewell and friend. i found it hard not to see closet homosexuals in the two main characters and played by classical he man superstars alain delon and charles bronson. they are obviously attracted to each other and their treatment of women is abominable and marked by contempt throughout. the whole story seems to have a strong symbolic undertow and a little like deliverance. it is also very stylish. the safe the two men want to crack is in a for the time ultra modern glass and aluminum tower. it is the seat of a publicity firm and so there are many fancy posters and wall coverings around. the wardrobe is also very good. the ultra stylish citroen ds (maybe the most modern and elegant car of all times) features large in this movie perhaps a subtle kind of product placement. i can recommend this movie for the actor performances alone. delon and bronson are really sharing the top billing and in a manner that struck me as very fair and sporting. both do a considerable amount of acrobatics. i have never seen bronson better than here and he really acts and speaks french throughout and with a heavy accent buy very passably indeed. and it is certainly the man himself we hear. (so the french language version is highly recommended). the police inspector who pursues the two is played by on of my favorite franch character actors and bernard fresson who was gene hackman partner in french connection ii. he is the best brainy police inspector i know. also very good is former child actress brigitte fossey as the young ingénue who and as it turns out and is not so innocent as it first seems. anyone who expects the old in an out of classical heist movies might be disappointed with this film. for those with a little patience this will be a rewarding experience and full of novel and original ideas and directorial quirks and although it my be a little too brutal and sadistic for its own sake.

"unfortunately many consumers who write reviews for imdb equate low budget with not good. whatever else this movie might need and more budget really isn not part of it. big sets and lots of special effects would have turned it into another lara croft movie. what we have here is a step or two better than that. the nearly unknown alexandra staden is captivating as the enigmatic modesty and and this is crucial for this movie to work. her wise little smiles and knowing looks are formidable and and you find yourself wishing that the camera would not leaver her face. it makes it workable that the bad guy nikolai and played by also little known (in the u. s. at least) nikolaj coaster waldau might take an unusually cerebral interest in her and something modesty can exploit. she is able to divert his raping her with just a shove and spitting out stop wasting my time. then storming off between his heavily armed yet suddenly diffident henchmen. making a scene like that plausible doesn not happen by accident. probably the biggest problem i have with the rail thin staden playing modesty is it just isn not very believable for her to go hand to hand with an athletic and muscled looking guy like coaster waldau and beat him. she just ain not a peta wilson or a pumped up hilary swank type actress who can throw a convincing punch. coaster waldau letting himself be overpowered by staden looks like he just roughhousing with his little sister. since this is not really an action film and this isn not a big flaw. i just hope they do better on that if and when they make sequels.

"if you are already a fan of peter odonnell wonderful modesty blaise books from the sixties and you will really enjoy this movie. if you have ever seen the 1966 modesty blaise film and forget it. that was camp. this is the real modesty blaise. the story and character are both true to the modesty that fans of the books know and love. it a long way from joe losey 1966 travesty and and it takes our modesty quite seriously. alexandra staden is quite good and believable in the part and and yes and we do get to see her kick butt. chucklethis is likely meant to be the first movie of a series and as such it serves to introduce modesty and her childhood and her days with lob. since peter odonnell was the creative consultant on the movie and everything really rings true. even the story odonnell told of how he conceived the character is just as he told it. having read all the books and i enjoyed the movie even more for that. now that miramax has kept their option on the property by having quentin tarrentino make this film and i do hope to see more of the modesty stories asap. especially as the wonderful character of willie garvin makes modesty character really come alive. to that end and i really hope the film does well in europe. i have no idea if miramax intends to ever distribute the dvd in the usa. i suspect it might not do that well in the usa in general distribution. i wonder how miramax decides where and how to distribute it films. in the story and modesty is in her early 20 and working at louche casino in tangier. the flashback sequences are artfully done and take modesty from about 9 years old and through her teens up to her current age in the movie about 21 22 and i would guess. i really do not think there a perfect actress for modesty. for many of us modesty fans and she much too powerful a presence in our imaginations already. alexandra staden is credible. she is very slim and graceful and poised. she has lots of closeups. she has a great face one that sticks in your mind well after the movie is over. according to o donnell illustrator and romero and modesty has rather a fuller figure than staden and but i am willing to overlook that. if staden continues in the role and i think she will mature into it just as modesty grows more powerful and skilled as she gets older. staden already conveys modesty humor and absolute assurance very well. go ahead and rent this movie and it not like anything else you have seen and even though it was directed by scott spiegel and it is full of tarrentino touches and great camera moves and lighting and well done action sequences.

"although i bought the dvd when it first came out and and have watched it several times and i never wrote a review. i loved it when i first saw it and i love it still. sadly and it seems it never made enough money to motivate anyone to do a follow up. i have to assume qt still controls the rights and but after kill bill if he does a film that is as true to the comics and books as my name is modesty and with another tough female lead and anyone not familiar with the character will see this as a let down. peter odonnell wrote his stories to focus more on psychological suspense rather than action thrillers. the tug of wills between modesty and miklos is very true to the source material and is tense and suspenseful and fascinating to anyone who doesn not have to have gore and explosions. alexandra did a great job in playing how odonnell character would have taken control of the situation. i find this particularly ahead of the curve following the sorely needed reboots of batman and james bond. after 2 dismal earlier efforts and although not nearly as well known to the public and this is really a reboot of the modesty character and and it is really sad that probably no more films about her will be made.

"rented and watched this short (< 90 minutes) work. it by far the best treatment modesty has received on film and her creator and peter odonnell and agrees and participating as a creative consultant. the character and and we who love her and are handled with respect. spiegel direction is the best he done to date and and the casting was very well done. alexandra staden is almost physically perfect as a match to the original jim holdaway illustrations of modesty. a terrific find by whoever cast her. raymond cruz as a young rafael garcia was also excellent. i hope that tarantino and co. will go on to make more in the series i am especially interested to see whom they would choose to be the incomparable willie garvin.

"finally was there released a good modesty blaise movie and which not only tells a story and but actually tells the real story. i admit that it is a bad movie if you expect an action thriller and but if you stop in your track and remove all your expectations. then you will notice that it is a story that comes very close to the original made by peter odonnell. you have a cover story just to tell about how modesty became the magnificent person which she is. it is not a movie to attract new fans and but a movie to tell the real tale. some things could have been better and but when you cannot forget the awful movie from 66 then is this a magnificent movie. so are you a fan then sit down relax and just enjoy that the real story is there with a cover story just to make modesty tell her story.

"first off while i am a dedicated fan of modesty and and have been reading the comics since i was a child and and i have found the earlier movies about our heroine unsatisfying and but where they fail and this one rocks. well then and here we go represent ms blaise is working for a casino and a gang of robbers comes along and she starts gambling for her friends lives. if the robber wins one round and she will have to tell him about herself. if she wins two times in a row and one of the staff members goes free. (sounds stupid and yeah and well and i am not that good at explaining either. ) while )she tells him about growing up in a war zone and without parents or friends and about her helping an old man in the refugee camp and how they escape and living by nature own rules. they hunt for food and and he teaches her to read and fight. as they approach civilization they get caught up in a war and and as they are taken for rebellions and they are being shot at and the old man dies and which leaves her to meet the city by herself. then she meets the man who casino she now working for and and there the story ends. what is to follow is that there an awesome fight and the line are totally cool. alexandra staden is a terrific modesty blaise. just as modest and strong and graceful and intellectual as the comic one. feels awkward though and too hear modesty speak with a slightly broken accent and but that not relevant since the comic book blaise can not speak out loud and but certainly must have a somewhat existing accent. (not to mention that it weird everybody speaking english in the balkan. )the acting is really good and even the child who personifies the young blaise must have a applaud. my favorite part must be where she rips up her dress to kick the stupid robber ass. totally awesome. representd i can not wait until the real adventure begins in the next movie or s. watch it and you would not be disappointed.

"there a great deal of material from the modesty blaise comics and novels that would be great in a movie. unfortunately and several attempts have been made and they have fallen short of the great potential in the character. so and no and this isn not the modesty you know from the comic strip (currently reprinted in nice editions from titan books). this is modesty some 5 or 6 years prior to the first strip and and from what you can piece together from her back story and it accurate. miramax had the movie rights to the character and with quentin tarantino acting as advocate and technical adviser. early drafts of the miramax project attempted to adapt one of the best novels and but always managed to leave out some crucial element. tarantino wasn not happy with any of them and and offered to remove his name from the project so they could proceed. to the studio credit and they wanted to keep him in the process and since they knew he got the character and her world. with the movie rights close to expiration and they decided to try a very different approach. the result was my name is modesty and a small direct to video movie that introduces the character. the movie does not introduce willie garvin or sir gerald. these characters are important to blaise adventures throughout most of the published stories. what this movie accomplishes is showing the strength of the character by herself. she never loses her composure and and you never doubt that she in charge even unarmed in a room full of gangsters with guns. most of the movie takes place within a casino and which undoubtedly saved money on the production. it doesn not matter. the film does not come across as cheap. instead and it gives a fairly comprehensive (and believable) back story for the character and demonstrates just how far she thinks ahead. should miramax adapt any of the comic stories or novels now and they have laid out the character background nicely and would not have to spend much time on her origin. i realize the words direct to video do not inspire confidence and but this film is well worth a look.

"having heard of modesty blaise before and but never having read a novel or a comic strip and my wife and i liked the film a lot. it delivered and in a captivating way and a good introduction to the character and her background. although it has some action flick elements and it is much more an intimate play and excellently written. sadly and this is also and where a major drawback of the movie is revealed. an intimate play lives on the capabilities of its actors and unfortunately only half of the cast delivered. while alexandra staden did an excellent job as modesty blaise and her counterpart nikolaj coaster waldau as the villain miklos did not. smiling his way through the plot as if it is an extend toothpaste commercial and he fails to build up an atmosphere of anxiety that would have made the movie a masterpiece. the supporting cast is somehow similar and from some stereotyped gangsters and sluts to decent performances from fred pearson as professor lob and eugenia yuan as irina.

"the best modesty blaise movie i have seen so far. it like a good pilot for a tv series. i even think it a little bit cult and like with a lite touch of quentin tarantino magic and or something. they have caught a great deal of modesty character and but i admit missing willy garwin a bit. even if i have read many comics and book by peter o wouldonnell i am not disappointed of this film and quite the opposite. positive surprised of this story about modesty and her childhood. i did not put my expectations so high and because of the bad movie from 1966. so i may have overrate this movie just a little. but if you like the comics and other storys about modesty blaise and you should definitely see this one. can not wait for a follow up.

"i enjoyed this film. it was a joy to see a version so close to the vision of peter odonnell. a number of people have disliked the film and but it has to be seen in context of the origin story that it is. the film uses flashback to show the young modesty and the events that shaped her into the woman that she became. before the network. before willie garvin. the pace is a trifle slow and and for my taste not enough tension is developed in the present day scenes. however this is acceptable just to get such a faithful version. if you like modesty blaise and you will enjoy it even with its faults and if you just want an action flick with car chases forget it. it has the feeling of being the first of a franchise and but as i have never seen it promoted anywhere and i suspect there will be no more to follow. sadly.

"shot on an impossible schedule and no budget to speak of and the movie turned out a lot better than you would expect and certainly much more true to the peter odonnell books and comic strip than the previous two films. you can read the strip currently in the reprints from titan books and or in comics revue monthly. it is one of the greatest adventure comic strips of all time. the movie isn not great and but unlike most low budget films it makes the most of what its got and and it holds your interest. on the dvd extras and the interview with quentin tarentino and who is obviously stoned and is a gas. some people have faulted tarentino for associating his name with the film and but without him it would never have been made. he is a modesty blaise fan and and picked a good writer and director. all things considered and worth positive .

"this was the modesty that we do not know. it was hinted at and summarized in the comic strip for the syndicates to sell to newspapers. lee and janet batchler were true modesty blaise fans who were given the dream job tell a prequel story of modesty that the fans never saw before. in their audio commentary and they admitted that that they made changes in her origin to make the story run smoother. the purists should also note that we really do not know if everything she told miklos was true because she was stalling for time. i do not rent or borrow the dvd like other reviewers did and i bought it. and i do not want a refund. i watched it three times and i do not sleep through it. great dialog and well drawn characters that i cared about (even bad guy miklos) just like in the novels and comic strips. i too can not wait for the next modesty (and willie) film and especially if this prequel is a sign of what to come.

"recap represent it business as usual at louche casino in tanger. the casino is about to close and prepares for a big transaction the next day. the owner louche and some staff leave for the night and leaving modesty in charge. suddenly a troop of armed gangsters storm the casino and shooting wildly. unknown to modesty and they have already killed louche and and are now after the money hidden in the vault. but no one present and and still alive and at the casino knows the code to open the vault. the vault itself is heavily booby trapped with explosives so the assailants can not blow the door as planned. suddenly modesty finds herself eye to eye with the gangsters leader miklos in a game of roulette with their lives in jeopardy. comments represent this is a review written with no connection what so ever with other published media about modesty blaise and as i have neither seen nor read any of it. the first point i like to make is that this is slightly wrongfully classified. foremost i thought this was a thriller with a battle of wits between modesty and miklos as the main plot. sure and there are some bursts of action but they are not really an integral or important part of the story. as already mentioned the main plot and the main suspense filled scene and is the game between modesty and miklos. it an innovative and intriguing way of revealing the background of a character and and in doing so much of the story takes place outside the casino at a much earlier time. someone said that it is almost like a pilot for a tv series and and the feeling is that it might indeed be used as such. but and i felt it was a much better way to introduce a character than many other have done. i was in no way disappointed in the lack of action and instead i enjoyed this game and the history much more than a simple action movie. i think the two main stars and alexandra staden and nikolaj coaster waldau did very well. staden especially portrays modesty very well and and really carries this confident and talented character. positive .

"the movie was a long awaited release and which where a bit disappointing because of the expectation i had set up. when looking at it again i must say it is actually pretty ok. first of all is it very true to the original history (of course not completely) and is as such only made to keep the right for the movie. modesty history as a child is shown and is very true to the original. the acting is perhaps not the best around and the plot is a bit thin and but when you compare it to the 1966 vitti movie is way better just because it is not trying to be a musical. generally would i only recommend it to fans of modesty blaise or to someone who by catch it on the tv.

"as a long time fan of peter odonnell greatest creation and i watched this film on dvd with no great hopes of enjoyment while indeed i expected to be reaching in disgust for the remote control within fifteen minutes. but instead i thoroughly enjoyed this production and and i especially enjoyed and appreciated how the producers and director succeeded in telling the modesty blaise back story. they managed to avoid the trap of making a (bad) film version of the books we are all so familiar with and choosing instead to concentrate on a period in modesty life only alluded to in the novels. as for the production values (and i am no student of cinematography. ) represent yes and the film was filmed on a tight financial and time budget and maybe that shows. but does it spoil the viewer enjoyment. in this case i think not. instead we are introduced to one of the world greatest literary heroines and given a taste of her capabilities. in regard to the casting represent because we in unfamiliar territory the only people who really matter are modesty and (perhaps) professor lob. for me they were totally credible. alexandra staden and described by some as wooden and and too thin to be an action heroine and brought to the screen modesty poise and coolness while her technique (when martial arts were needed) but most importantly personified the integrity which is at the core of the modesty blaise canon. ok and so we all know this film was produced to stake miramax claim to the modesty blaise character and it was made quickly and cheaply and but. i for one cannot wait to see the next production in this series by these producers as long as they keep to the core values and characterisations of the original stories.

"i have read modesty blaise for several years now and collecting numbers of the strip. after the fiasco movie made many years ago based on the first book modesty blaise i was surprised the result got this good. what i got was a movie not based on action or violence. the director had focused on history and psychology. how was modesty created based on the own tale and what parts in her life was affected by her non childhood. i think this thougths will give a greater understanding to the next (i hope) film. i simply loved the movies old fashioned style. however everything wasn not that good and the gambling wasn not that good. almost boring and unreal. the acting could have been improved too. i am not thinking the bad guy in this movie felt real and the only reason he was there was so modesty could have someone to tell her story for. also they could have expanded the movie and showing more about when she builds up the network but i will guess thats for the next movie. and please forgive me for my bad english.

"for a first film in a proposed series it achieves the right balance. it is done with style and class showing modesty early days as a refugee and the start of her rise to power in the criminal world. i think it is a very honest or true portrayal of her character exactly as the writer peter odonnell intended. alexandra staden as modesty is stunningly beautiful and an excellent choice. she acts very convincingly as the tough survivor with an exterior of cool or intelligent or innocence. and full marks to tarantino for choosing an unknown actress for the role much more believeable to have a new face creating the part. i am looking forward to the next film.

"this is a good movie and although people unfamiliar with the modesty blaise comics and books may find it a little slow and lacking in action. for the modesty fan and the movie will be very enjoyable and particularly because it is very faithful in its presentation of the modesty blaise history. peter odonnell is listed in the credits as creative consultant and the film makers must have actually paid attention to him as the plot follows quite closely the details that have been presented in the comic books over the years {although the events have been recast to modern days). the only thing that the true fan may find disappointing is that there is no willie garvin in the story. this lack of willie is again just being faithful to the modesty blaise chronology since the movie takes place in the very early days of modesty career. alexandra staden makes a very believable young modesty who actually looks a lot like modesty is supposed to look. a welcome change from the travesty of the monica vitti portrayal of modesty.

"i was expecting this to be the same kind of schlock as the previous modesty blaise movie and which is why i left it unwatched for so long and but i was very pleasantly surprised. far from being a succession of silly gun battles and car or boat chases and it was an almost thoughtful analysis of how a pretty girl gets to become as hard as nails and with nothing being overstated or over rationalized. it likely that the budgetary constraints actually helped with that represent less time and effort was spent on finding ever stupider ways for stunt men to pretend to die and and more was dedicated to making the movie worth watching. hell and the biggest gun battle takes place off screen and the scene where it is heard is all the better for that background noise and that adds to the suspense who winning. who dying. alexandra staden might not be as drop dead gorgeous as monica vitti and but few are and and she certainly has every ounce of class and fire that needed to make the character work and the shape of her face and her hair and and her tall and slender body could have been lifted straight from the comic strip graphics. nikolaj coaster waldau was the perfect choice for a blaise bad guy and in that he made the character interesting and enjoyable to watch even likable (and i doubt i would consider taking on many brutal and psychopathic murderers as drinking buddies). i can not think of a single one of hollywood former waiters who could have pulled the role off that well. fortunately and blaise baddies always die and in the end (no spoilers there. ) that a really good thing and because all the girls who would have spent their time swooning over such a disgustingly handsome and interesting hunk can now pragmatically settle for us ordinary joes.

"david duchovny plays the lead role in this film. now a lot of people upon finding that fact out do not even bother watching it. very unfair to say the least. david made his name on the x files and is a decent actor. dr eugene sands(duchovny)is a drug addicted doctor struck off for malpractice. by sheer accident he becomes a private doctor for criminal millionaire raymond blossom. however the fbi take an interest in using eugene to snare blossom. angelina jolie is cast in the supporting role of clare the gangsters moll. she puts in a solid performance. timothy hutton playing blossom is superb and immersed himself deeply into his character. duchovny himself isn not as bad as many people would think and in the end i would rate his performance his credible. his familiar monotonous tone and straight face is present but dosen not detract too much from the film.

"i enjoyed this movie. unlike like some of the pumped up and steroid trash that is passed off as action movies and playing god is simple and realistic and with characters that are believable and action that is not over the top and enough twists and turns to keep you interested until the end. well directed and well acted and a good story.

"this film has a lot of raw potential. the script is sharp and the dialogue is (usually) excellent (though it could stand to lose the cheezy voice overs) and the direction and cinematography is surprisingly quite good and though some of the experimentation just doesn not work. the main problem here is david duchovny. once a geek boy and always a geek boy while and the sad and simple fact is that he incapable of playing anything but fox mulder. he postures and he tries to be slick and he poses and he tries to be macho. in the end he just tries too hard. he overplays his character and he overspeaks his lines and and he just outplayed in all ways by timothy hutton and angelina jolie and who are each in a class above him in terms of acting skill. timothy hutton was (as always) really good. there was a spotty moment or two where he over dramatized his role and but you could tell he was having fun with it. he looked the part and and he became the character both physically and atmospherically. angelina jolie was also really good. she do not have much of a role while in fact and i though she could have used a much stronger one. her character wasn not nearly developed enough and though she did remarkably well with what she had. and the chemistry between her and hutton was apparent (gee and maybe that why uma left him. while ) all in all and it was rough around the edges and but a solid effort by a good cast and great supporting roles. if david duchovny hadn not ripped his role to pieces it would have been that much better. positive .

"david duchovney creates a role that he was to replicate somewhat in californication the troubled talent. and it is a role he plays well. this thriller starts off at a good speed and carries you through to the end. timothy hutton plays a fine villain and angelina jolie pouts. the story of a disgraced doctor finding his way into a criminal world is well scripted. drug addiction and a desire for the sultry jolie mix a heady cocktail. unfortunately towards the end the story gets a little weaker and the relationships between villains and the fbi is muddled and rushed as if it was created only to develop the final scene. but and that aside and a movie worth seeing.

"i would always wanted david duchovney to go into the movie business and and finally he did and and he made me proud. this movie lived up to what i had hoped for. duchovney played his character very well and managing to remain consistent with something new and instead of playing the agent molder we are used to. therefore and i give him extra credit for his role and also because i could not see anyone else playing that particular character. david was great and but nothing compared to the psychotic timothy hutton. a brilliant performance that you do not get tired of throughout the movie and because he never fails to surprise you. he has weaknesses and and strengths and making the story all the more believable. i also very much enjoyed the narration and it added to the story a good deal and and had some very memorable quotes that i still use to all the time. this movie also had a wounderfull score. i recomend this for anyone who likes drama and and doesn not mind blood.

"a hit at the time but now better categorised as an australian cult film. the humour is broad and unsubtle and and in the final scene where a bbc studio fire is extinguished by urinating on it and crude. contains just about every cliche about the traditional australian pilgrimage to the old country and and every cliche about those rapacious and stuck up and whinging and tory brits. would be acceptable to the british because of its strong cast of well known actors and and to australians of that generation and who can get the humour. americans forget it. the language and jokes are in the australian dialect of english and as such will be unintelligible.

"i love this movie like no other. another time i will try to explain its virtues to the uninitiated and but for the moment let me quote a few of pieces the remarkable dialogue and which and please remember and is all tongue in cheek. aussies and poms will understand and everyone else well. (title song lyric)he can sink a beer and he can pick a queer and in his latest double breasted bondi gear. (another song lyric) all pommies are bastards and bastards and or worse and and england is the ae hole of the universe. (during a television interview on an arty program) represent mr mackenzie what artists have impressed you most since you have been in england. (barry response)flamin bull artists. (while chatting up a naive young pom girl) represent mr mackenzie and i suppose you have hordes of aboriginal servants back in australia. (barry response) abos. i have never seen an abo in me life. mum does most of the solid yacca (ie hard work) round our place. this is just a taste of the hilarious farce of this bonser aussie flick. if you can get a copy of it and watch and enjoy.

"this film and it sequel barry mckenzie holds his own and are the two greatest comedies to ever be produced. a great story a young aussie bloke travels to england to claim his inheritance and meets up with his mates and who are just as loveable and innocent as he is. it chock a block full of great and sayings and where else could you find someone who needs a drink so bad that he as dry as a dead dingoes donger. great characters and top acting and and it got great sheilas and more fosters consumption then any other three films put together. top notch. and some of the funniest songs you will ever hear and and it full of great celebrities. definitely my two favourite films of all time and i watch them at least once a fortnight.

"the adventures of barry mckenzie started life as a satirical comic strip in private eye and written by barry humphries and based on an idea by peter cook. mckenzie ( bazza to his friends ) is a lanky and loud and hat wearing australian whose two main interests in life are sex ( despite never having had any ) and fosters lager. in 1972 and he found his way to the big screen for the first of two outings. it must have been tempting for humphries to cast himself as bazza and but he wisely left the job to barry crocker ( later to sing the theme to the television soap opera neighbours. ). humphries instead played multiple roles in true peter sellers fashion and most notably bazza overbearing aunt edna everage ( this was before she became a dame ). you know this is not going to be the importance of being ernest when its censorship classification n. p. a. stands for no poofters allowed. pom hating bazza is told by a sydney solicitor that in order to inherit a share in his father will he must go to england to absorb british culture. with aunt edna in tow and he catches a quantas flight to hong kong and and then on to london. an over efficient customs officer makes bazza pay import duties on everything he bought over there and including a suitcase full of tubes of fosters lager. as he puts it represent when it comes to fleecing you and the poms have got the edge on the gyppos. a crafty taxi driver ( bernard spear ) maximises the fare by taking bazza and edna first to stonehenge and then scotland. the streets of london are filthy and and their hotel is a hovel run by a seedy landlord ( spike milligan ) who makes bazza put pound notes in the electricity meter every twenty minutes. there is some good news for our hero though while he meets up with other aussies in earls court and and fosters is on sale in british pubs. what happens next is a series of comical escapades that take bazza from starring in his own cigarette commercial and putting curry down his pants in the belief it is some form of aphrodisiac and a bizarre encounter with dennis price as an upper class pervert who loves being spanked while wearing a schoolboy uniform and a young conservative dance in rickmansworth to a charity rock concert where his song about chundering ( vomiting ) almost makes him an international star and and finally to the b. b. c. t. v. centre where he pulls his pants down on a live talk show hosted by the thinking man crumpet herself and joan bakewell. a fire breaks out and and bazza friends come to the rescue downing cans of fosters and they urinate on the flames en masse. this is a far cry from bruce beresford later works breaker morant and driving miss daisy. on release and it was savaged by critics for being too vulgar. well and yes and it is and but it is also great non p. c. fun. bazza is a disgusting creation and but his zest for life is unmistakable and you cannot help but like the guy. his various euphemisms for urinating ( point percy at the porcelain ) and vomiting ( the technicolour yawn ) have passed into the english language without a lot of people knowing where they came from. other guest stars include dick bentley ( as a detective who chases bazza everywhere ) and peter cook and julie covington ( later to star in rock follies ) and and even future arts presenter russell davies. a sequel the wonderfully named barry mckenzie holds his own came out two years later. at its premiere and humphries took the opportunity to blast the critics who had savaged the first film. good for him. what must have been of greater concern to him and though and was the release of crocodile dundee in 1985. it also featured a lanky and hat wearing aussie struggling to come to terms with a foreign culture. and made tonnes more money. the song on the end credits ( performed by snacka fitzgibbon ) is magnificent. you have a love a lyric that includes the line represent if you want to send your sister in a frenzy and introduce her to barry mckenzie. time to end this review. i have to go the dunny to shake hands with the unemployed.
