Movie Review: Kiss The Girls

The only believable murder that takes place in this entire movie is that of the original James Patterson novel of the same title. Based on a close-to-brilliant serial killer thriller by the writer of ‘Along came a spider’, this film fails in almost every respect. Moving way too slow, with a rambling script and terrible […]

Movie Review: The Green Mile

As far as I’m concerned, King adapations are notoriously awful. (Take any film version of wonderful IT, for example.) But this marathon of a movie, based on – and closely following – the novel of the same name, is all but perfect. With a script that captures both the atmosphere and the story of the […]

Casting botched their job, resulting in an ever smiling and pretty Denise Richards (otherwise yummy) trying to be a tough space ace and failing – and she’s the best of the bunch. With terrible acting, […]

Movie review: Cruel intentions

Sarah Michelle ‘Buffy’ Gellar is a recommendation in itself, and her role as the devious woman in this modern remake of Dangerous Liaisons is indeed memorable. Actually, all four central actors / actresses play their parts with class, which is one of the reasons why the movie rises so far above the average. Even if […]

Movie review: 8MM

With a screenplay by the writer of brilliant Se7en (1995) and the lead part for the very talented Nicholas Cage, this movie should have been very good. However, director Joel Schumacher fails completely to tie these promising elements together into a good movie. It’s much too black-and-white, with an idyllic introduction of Cage’s family that […]
