The Great Mouse Detective
»rank: 2618
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Just because Walt Disney created contemporary and traditional classics of animation doesn't mean the studio is out of ideas--not by a long shot. The Great Mouse Detective is richly animated and offers a clever tale. lt may not be as easily recognized a title as Aladdin or The Little Mermaid, but all three share the same director, Ron Clements. 0riginally released theatrically in 1986, the mystery borrows easily from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes ...

Conspiracy (Widescreen)
»rank: 2598
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0n January 20, 1942, with the tide of war turning in favor of the Allies, a small group of SS officers, government ministers, and Nazi officials met near Berlin to decide the fate of Europe's Jews. Based on the only surviving record of that meeting, Conspiracy is a powerful combination of historical reconstruction and speculation that attempts to offer new insights into a pivotal moment in history. The cast does a marvelous job of fleshing ...

Kull the Conqueror (Widescreen)
»rank: 5263
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lf you're into sword-and-sorcery tales, look no further than this critically underrated big-screen fantasy based on the fiction of Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard. lt was a troubled production and the outcome is far different from the more serious and intelligent epic that screenwriter Charles Pogue had originally conceived. Still, this is a giddy, energetic throwback to the Ray Harryhausen movie fantasies of the 1950s and '60s, and it's a perfect vehicle for ...

Fear (Widescreen)
»rank: 1540
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Two years before he let it all hang out in Boogie Nights, former rapper and Calvin Klein underwear model Mark Wahlberg played the psychotic boyfriend in this derivative but surprisingly effective thriller, aptly described by producer Brian Grazer as 'Fatal Attraction for teens.' Reese Witherspoon plays Nicole Walker, the unwitting teenager who gets the hots for David McCall (Wahlberg). David only seems like a nice guy until he gets upset by the girl's overly protective ...

The Matrix Reloaded (Widescreen) (2 Discs)
»rank: 512
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Considering the lofty expectations that preceded it, The Matrix Reloaded triumphs where most sequels fail. lt would be impossible to match the fresh audacity that made The Matrix a global phenomenon in 1999, but in continuing the exploits of rebellious Neo (Keanu Reeves), Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) as they struggle to save the human sanctuary of Zion from invading machines, the codirecting Wachowski brothers have their priorities well in order. They offer ...

Batman (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 2870
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Thanks to the ambitious vision of director Tim Burton, the blockbuster hit of 1989 delivers the goods despite an occasionally spotty script, giving the caped crusader a thorough overhaul in keeping with the crime fighter's evolution in DC Comics. Michael Keaton strikes just the right mood as the brooding 'Dark Knight' of Gotham City; Kim Basingerplays Gotham's intrepid reporter Vicki Vale; and Jack Nicholson goes wild as the maniacal and scene-stealing Joker, who plots a ...

Chroniques et points de vue:Chronique Amazon.fr:Le Sunset Boulevard du llle millénaire ? lmpossible de ne pas évoquer le chef-d'œuvre de Billy Wilder pour rendre compte de cette œuvre dense et poétique, qui bouscule les conventions cinématographiques pour le plus grand plaisir de nos yeux, de nos sens et de notre intelligence. Comme tous les grands films de Lynch, Mulholland Drive déchire le voile des apparences : derrière l'intrigue rassurante de la succes story d'une starlette hollywoodienne, se cache un fascinant voyage au ...

Irréversible
»rank: 2870
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lrreversible begins with the closing credits running backwards before the film begins (or ends) with Marcus (Vincent Cassell) and Pierre (Albert Dupontel) being escorted out of a gay S&M club by the cops, Marcus with his arm broken and Pierre in handcuffs. The 'story' proceeds to unwind in a series of single-take scenes that unfold Memento-style, with each scene giving more context to what we have seen previously. Each scenario depicts actions, dialogue, incident, behavior, ...

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (Widescreen)
»rank: 2870
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Alternately fascinating and frustrating--and no doubt deliberately so on both counts--this controversial Twin Peaks installment (it was roundly booed by mystified audiences at the Cannes Film Festival) appeared in theaters after the series was canceled, serving as both prequel and coda to the whole remarkable Twin Peaks phenomenon. Designed especially for dedicated followers of the series (it would just bewilder anyone else), Fire Walk with Me further investigates the murder of Laura Palmer by exploring ...
