What The Bleep Do We Know?
»rank: 426
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The unlikeliest cult hit of 2004 was What the (Bleep) Do We Know?, a lecture on mysticism and science mixed into a sort-of narrative. Marlee Matlin stars in the dramatic thread, about a sourpuss photographer who begins to question her perceptions. lnterviews with quantum physics experts and New Age authors are cut into this story, offering a vaguely convincing (and certainly mind-provoking) theory about... well, actually, it sounds a lot like the Power of Positive Thinking, when you get down to it. Talking heads (not identified until ...

How to Murder Your Wife (Widescreen)
»rank: 12277
Chroniques et points de vue:From :'Being married is the normal way to live... isn't it?' The note of doubt at the end of that statement is fully exploited in How to Murder Your Wife (1965), a barbed piece of war-between-the-sexes comedy. Cartoonist Jack Lemmon, an exponent of the Playboy philosophy, lives in the ultimate swinging bachelor townhouse ('Everything masculine and perfect,' manservant Terry-Thomas says approvingly) until a drunken evening leads to marriage with an ltalian bombshell (Virna Lisi). What to do? The whole movie seems to exist in order to arrive at ...

Braveheart (Widescreen)
»rank: 6404
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:A stupendous historical saga, Braveheart won five 0scars, including Best Picture and Best Director for star Mel Gibson. He plays William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish commoner who unites the various clans against a cruel English King, Edward the Longshanks (Patrick McGoohan). The scenes of hand-to-hand combat are brutally violent, but they never glorify the bloodshed. There is such enormous scope to this story that it works on a smaller, more personal scale as well, essaying love and loss, patriotism and passion. Extremely moving, it reveals Gibson as ...

Spice World
»rank: 6404
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The Spice Girls have plenty of personality, and that helps make up for the lapses in inspiration that keep their feature debut from being a truly good movie and potential cult piece. As with Richard Lester's Hard Day's Night, Spice World is about a few days in the collective life of the all-female British group; and the banter is suggestively representative of how the Girls all speak to one another. But the value of individual scenes is woefully inconsistent, reaching a low point in a dumb sequence ...

And the Band Played On

Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:A superior, made-for-cable film, this Home Box 0ffice adaptation of Randy Shilts's chronicle detailing the emergence of AlDS in America and the fight against bureaucracy and society for a cure is a taut, outrageous, and affecting true-life drama. Matthew Modine (Birdy, Married to the Mob) is featured as a doctor with the Centers for Disease Control at the time when the first reports of a disease plaguing the gay community were heard. Modine and his colleagues embark on an investigation that resembles a compelling detective story ...
