Scanners (Widescreen)
»rank: 4456
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:David Cronenberg's 1981 horror film Scanners is a darkly paranoid story of a homeless man (Stephen Lack) mistakenly believed to be insane, when in fact he can't turn off the sound of other people's thoughts in his telepathic mind.

A number of critics consider this to be Cronenberg's first great film, and indeed it has a serious vision of ...

V.I. Warshawski (Widescreen)
»rank: 18955
Chroniques et points de vue:From :You couldn't do better than Kathleen Turner to bring Sara Peretsky's tough but tender Chicago Pl (who goes by her initials 'because it makes it harder for people to patronize [her]') to the big screen. Too bad her vehicle is such routine murder mystery. The story of an insolent teenager (Angela Goethals) who hires Warshawski to investigate her father's suspicious death never rises above TV detective show melodrama, and Jeff Kanew's generic direction is less hardboiled than over-easy. The film's pleasures are all in the performances: smart, ...

The Prince and the Showgirl (Full Screen)
»rank: 6605
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Destined to remain a curio in the careers of Marilyn Monroe and Laurence 0livier, The Prince and the Showgirl is a good movie that might have been great. While's she's wonderful as a saucy showgirl with a knack for foreign relations, Monroe's off-screen notoriety in 1957 made this a directorial nightmare for 0livier, who never bursts out of his stiff-collared finery as the Carpathian Prince Regent, who's smitten by Marilyn's innocent, unpolished candor. 0f course, she's actually smarter than the monocled monarch, at least in her sensible ...

Juggernaut

Chroniques et points de vue:From :0ne of director Richard Lester's least-known films, Juggernaut was part of the wave of disaster movies of the early 1970s--and one of the only ones with a sense of intelligence. Richard Harris, in one of his most controlled performances, plays a bomb expert called aboard a luxury liner in midocean; the ship has been commandeered by an anonymous terrorist, demanding money before he starts setting off bombs he has planted around the vessel. The cast, which includes David Hemmings, Anthony Hopkins, and 0mar Sharif, is a solid ...
