Cirque Du Soleil: Novelle Experience
»rank: 40988
Chroniques et points de vue:From :New experience indeed. Cirque du Soleil's Nouvelle Experience is another video compilation of acrobatic feats and inspired clowning. For example, four women on a suspended platform twist and contort their bodies until you'd swear their spines were made of rubber. Then lithe, muscular men and women launch themselves off of a teeter-totter so they can spin in all directions in mid-air; or they do the splits while walking on a tightrope; or they spin and ...

Highlander III: The Sorcerer
»rank: 39370
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Despite a typically haphazard plot, Highlander: Endgame is a marked improvement over previous sequels. This is the 'torch-passing' chapter, in which the lmmortal Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) passes his life force to his heroic brother, Duncan (Adrian Paul, star of the 1993-96 Highlander TV series). These appealing stars make a fine onscreen duo, and Paul is a terrific choice to keep the franchise alive--strikingly handsome but possessing enough gravitas to make the prospect of future ...

Midnight Express
»rank: 39370
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Forever embroiled in controversy, Midnight Express divides viewers into opposing camps: those who think it's one of the most intense real-life dramas ever made, and those who abhor its manipulative tactics and alteration of facts for the exploitative purpose of achieving a desired effect. That effect is powerfully achieved, regardless of how you may feel about director Alan Parker and 0scar®-winning screenwriter 0liver Stone's interpretation of the story of Billy Hayes. lt was the American ...

Diabolique
»rank: 39370
Chroniques et points de vue: essential video:Legend has it that Henri-Georges Clouzot beat out Alfred Hitchcock to secure the rights to this novel, which proved to be a veritable blueprint for an icy masterpiece of murder, mystery, and suspense. Véra Clouzot plays the sickly wife of a callous headmaster of a provincial boarding school going to seed, and the commanding Simone Signoret is the headmaster's mistreated mistress. Together they plot and carry out his murder, a brutal drowning that director ...

Gilda
»rank: 39370
Chroniques et points de vue:Additional Features:The best thing about this DVD is the restoration done by the UCLA Film Archive, rendering the black-and-white cinematography sumptuous, especially in scenes in which Gilda wears sequins or satin (practically every scene). There's a short bio of Hayworth and her ascent at Columbia, as well as trailers for Gilda and some other Columbia films that have been released on DVD. --Anne Hurley Essential Video:All film noirs need deceit, betrayal, dialogue hard as diamonds--and ...
