' Aces - 2007 Wow. After some brief introductions, you get onboard a fast moving train and head out full speed for the next 90 minutes. If you like that kinda thing - and I do - then you will. Oddball characters and crooks in way over their head are the finer things I look for in a film - and I found them here. I searched the net looking for a positive review of this movie. I'm proud t

Pan's Labyrinth 2008-10-31 11:34:21 EL Laberinto del fauno ***Spoilers Ahead*** A girl on the verge of adolescence is thrust into a brutal nightmare of violence and horror. And this is the reality in the movie. Half of the movie is this girl's reality - which takes place during WWII years of 1944 but centers on the civil war happening in Spain. Franco's fascist soldiers are attempting to round up peasant resistant fighters tha Read more:Labyrinth

Land of the Blind 2008-02-10 17:38:16 Land of the Blind
- 2006 Cinematographer Emmanuel Kadosh creates an over exposed world where stark faces are bleached out and white rooms are washed into a single visual that is fascinating to see. Attention is given to costume & set design and they come together to bring us a world that is part fantasy, part period piece. The movie is narrated by Joe (Ralph Fiennes) from his jail cell. W

Lucky Number Slevin 2008-01-16 19:39:21 Lucky Number
Slevin - 2006 For the first - oh - three quarters of this movie you are baffled with multiple story flashbacks, convergent plot lines and oddball characters galore. In an effort to be an American version of Lock, Stock, and two Smoking Barrels, Lucky Number Slevin succeeds on the merits of its all-star cast. Director Paul McGuigan uses a slick and style to deliver a film that is par
