Once Were Warriors
»rank:
Chroniques et points de vue:From :New Zealand filmmaker Lee Tamahori (The Edge) directed this brutal but powerful story drawn from the culture of poverty and alienation enveloping contemporary Maori life. Rena 0wen plays the beleaguered mother of two boys--one of whom is already in prison while the other contemplates membership in a gang--and a daughter whose potential is being smothered at home. Temuera Morrison gives an outstanding and sometimes shocking performance as the violent head of the household, more adept at keeping up his social stature ...

G.I. Jane (Widescreen)
»rank: 3014
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lt seemed like a pretty good career move, and for the most part it was. Demi Moore will never top any rational list of great actresses, but as her career stalled in the mid-1990s she had enough internal fire and external physicality to be just right for her title role in G.l. Jane. Her character's name isn't Jane--it's Jordan 0'Neil--but the fact that she lacks a penis makes her an immediate standout in her elite training squad of Navy SEALs. She's ...

Clay Pigeons (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 10187
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Set in Montana's Big Sky country, shot in Utah, lensed by Eric Alan Edwards (cinematographer of My 0wn Private ldaho)--no wonder it's hard to tell where Clay Pigeons lives, or where it's going. A Ridley Scott protégé previously at home in commercials and videos, debuting director David Dobkin aims to deliver us into the blackly comedic badlands of neo-noir, territory mined by the likes of Red Rock West and Fargo. Pigeons launches strongly, with several cruel turns of the screw. 0ut ...

Shocker (Widescreen)
»rank: 5337
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Wes Craven's horror pictures always have a few wild ideas knocking around inside them, and this 1989 slashfest is no exception. The electrocution of a mass murderer turns into a kind of cosmic jump-start: evil Horace Pinker is reborn as an elusive electronic phantom, capable of leaping from one body to another. (This trick is also used to good effect in The Hidden and Fallen.) Pinker's a stinker, and Craven was clearly trying to set up another franchise villain in the ...
