Director:
Bernardo Bertolucci
A love letter to movies (and the French new wave of the 1960s in particular), Bernardo Bertolucci's The Dreamers starts with a 1968 riot outside of a Parisian movie palace then burrows into an insular love triangle. Matthew (Michael Pitt, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), an expatriate American student, bonds with a twin brother and sister, Isabelle (Eva Green) and Theo (Louis Garrel), over their mutual love of film--they not only quote lines of dialogue, they act out small bits and challenge each other to name the cinematic source. Matthew suspects the twins of incest, but that doesn't stop him from falling into his own intimacies with Isabelle. As the threesome becomes threatened, Paris succumbs to student riots. The Dreamers aspires to be kinky, but the results are more decorative than decadent; nonetheless, the movie's lively energy recalls the careless and vital exuberance of Godard and Truffaut. --Bret Fetzer
 Exceptional movie about a age of revolt, 2009-10-01
This film is set in Paris in the late 1960's when the streets were literally alight with revolt. Its such a charming film (and I mean that as a great compliment) which explores the relationship of twins, one male, one female with a visiting American who meet through their mutual love of film. The film makes you feel you are in the scenes, in Paris in May 1968 and the acting and direction are exceptional.
The film follows the trauma of youth not wishing to fit in and follow their peers in accepting what is "normal" from their politics to their sexual behavour. Yes the film can be sensuous but I have yet to see a better directed film that reflects the intimacy rather then the sexual act.
Certainly this is a film to sit down with a good glass of french read wine, close the curtains, turn off the lights, fire up a scented candle and enjoy.

Director's Cut - Kingdom of Heaven, 2010-07-24
I saw the theatrical release of Kingdom of Heaven and found it deeply flawed. The editing made for very confused story-telling which no amount of superb cinematography could possible make up for. I watched the director's cut on TV recently and at last 'got it'! Soooo much better! Even Orlando Bloom, not the world's most gifted actor, came into his own. The relationship between Balian and Sybilla, much of which was cut out of the theatrical release, was much more beliveable. Forget the theatrical relase - this is the version to choose.

 Gloriously gothic and enormously clever fantasy, 2010-08-02
After half an hour of this movie I almost gave up on it.
Sure it looked marvellous and it conjured forth faint echoes of works I admired like Dark City, Brasil and Neverwhere, but it seemed to be going nowhere.
Then, things suddenly clicked into place, and the remaining 50 minutes or so were surprisingly entertaining. Love, loss, revenge, madness, nihilism, invisible friends, the butterfly effect and cynical manipulation of religion as an opium for the masses all figure heavily in the splendidly dream-like mix, accented with enough darkly evocative eye-candy to make Luc Besson green with envy.
Put the effort in, stick with it and you will not be disappointed. Very clever stuff!

Craig makes a good Bond, decent first film, 2010-05-02
A lot of people had criticism about Daniel Craig when he first took the role of James Bond. Just one peek at this film and you see how he is well placed to play the role. After a series of more and more boring storylines in recent Bond movies Casino Royale has injected new life into the franchise. The parkour scene is one of my most favourite in any film I've ever watched, and seeing this film on Blu ray really showcases the ability of 1080p content over standard definition. If you're a die hard fan, this is a must have; but equally if you're a HD junkie, film lover in general or you're a Craig fan, you won't be disappointed by this film. One of the best purchases I ever made.

It's hard to believe Ridley Scott's handsome epic won't become the cinematic touchstone of the Crusades for years to come. Kingdom of Heaven is greater than the sum of its parts, delivering a vital, mostly engrossing tale following Balian (Orlando Bloom), a lonely French blacksmith who discovers he's a noble heir and takes his father's (Liam Neeson) place in the center of the universe circa 1184: Jerusalem. Here, grand battles and backdoor politics are key as Scott and first-time screenwriter William Monahan fashion an excellent storyline to tackle the centuries-long conflict. Two forward-thinking kings, Baldwin (Edward Norton in an uncredited yet substantial role) and Saladin (Ghassan Massoud), hold an uneasy truce between Christians (who hold the city) and Muslims while factions champ at the bit for blood. There are good and evildoers on both sides, with the Knights Templar taking the brunt of the blame; Balian plans to find his soul while protecting Baldwin and the people. The look of the film, as nearly everything is from Scott, is impressive: his CGI-infused battle scenes rival the LOTR series and, with cinematographer John Mathieson, create postcard beauty with ...

The most successful invigoration of a cinematic franchise since Batman Begins, Casino Royale offers a new Bond identity. Based on the Ian Fleming novel that introduced Agent 007 into a Cold War world, Casino Royale is the most brutal and viscerally exciting James Bond film since Sean Connery left Her Majesty's Secret Service. Meet the new Bond; not the same as the old Bond. Daniel Craig gives a galvanising performance as the freshly minted double-0 agent. Suave, yes, but also a "blunt instrument," reckless and possessed with an ego that compromises his judgment during his first mission to root out the mastermind behind an operation that funds international terrorists. In classic Bond film tradition, his global itinerary takes him to far-flung locales, including Uganda, Madagascar, the Bahamas (that's more like it) and Montenegro, where he is pitted against his nemesis in a poker game, with hundreds of millions in the pot. The stakes get even higher when Bond lets down his armour by falling in love with Vesper (Eva Green), the ravishing banker's representative fronting him the money. For longtime fans of the franchise, Casino Royale offers some...
Superb - a clever reinvention, 2010-04-26
With Brosnan blown out of the water by Bourne (released in the same year as Broasnan's last Bond outing), the producers clearly faced a crisis of confidence. Their answer was Daniel Craig, and what a perfect riposte it was. Craig is the best actor (apart from Tim Dalton) ever to tackle Bond and he has made a terrifying fist of it. He is massively helped by the use of an original novel on which the story is (pretty much) based. The whole style is different from earlier Bonds, closer to Fleming's original conception of the character, and the human element to the story lifts it to a different level. Too bad the sequel couldn't keep up!
Whatever happens to the franchise hereafter, in Casino Royale the Eon team has created a classic Bond movie. And Craig is the lifeblood.

Perhaps it didn’t ignite the box office in quite the way it’d been hoped, but that’s little reason to pass over the qualities of The Golden Compass now it arrives on DVD. Based on the Phillip Pullman novel His Dark Materials--itself the start of the Northern Lights trilogy, the film isn’t without a few problems, but emerges as a quality adaptation. And you certainly can’t fault The Golden Compass for sheer ambition. The story, for those new to the series, is primarily that of 12-year old Lyra, who is in search of her friend who has been kidnapped. Naturally, this proves to be quite a challenging adventure, not least because it’s through Pullman’s vividly imagined world, crossing dimensions as Lyra travels. The film, while toning down and fiddling with some elements of the source material, stays quite close to the book, and it proves to be a good, if not Lord Of The Rings-standard, adaptation. What helps The Golden Compass, on top of the strong effects work and scope of the production, is a solid cast, featuring the likes of Daniel Craig, Nicole Kidman and Dakota Blue Richards. And it certainly whets the appetite fo...
