Cape Fear
R
Prior to watching this film, I had no idea it would turn out to be, currently, one of my all-time greatest. De Niro, again, is brilliant as psychopath Max Cady. This may be the single film I will have the ability to stand Nolte in. I actually have a new found respect for Jessica Lange for her role in this film. I thought her role was completed with the utmost dramatic ability without completely going overboard. As usual, I did not view Juliette Lewis as anything that was absolutely vital to this film, yet she did give a very well rounded effort towards her character.
There is no denying that, again, the essential part of this film is De Niro's portrayal of Cady. Definitely a tip top psychopathic role I've seen in a long while. Along with a well done in-depth look of the extent things can be carried to when it comes to a deranged human being. An absolute recommendation for all.

The Shining
R
Nicholson shows what insanity honestly is, giving the film a thrill in which, I feel, no other actor could have portrayed to that extent. Also, showing a side of frightening humor I don't think anyone will ever witness again. Shelly Duvall also gives an incredible performance, along with Danny Lloyd. I recall someone buying this film, yet it was the newer adaptation from 1997, which was absolutely terrible compared to this film, in my opinion.
Some of the most demented, yet oddly funny lines to live on from this film. I was afraid of this film until I was literally 17, I think. Kubrick is an undeniably brilliant director. I am a fan of Stephen King, yet completely changing the adaptation of the novel was an utterly brilliant move on Kubrick's part and proves why this film turned out so well. The part of this film when the twins show up in the hallway is the most terrifyingly thrilling part of any film I have seen to date.

Child's Play
by Danielle"When you're feeling down or feeling blue
A Good Guy will always be there for you!"
Chucky is a Good Guy, a line of dolls based on a popular children's cartoon, or perhaps the other way around. This particular Good Guy came to be alive when notorious killer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif) was pursued by an incompetent police officer named Mike Norris (Chris Sarandon) into a toy store, whereupon Charles Lee Ray was mortally wounded and, before his death, transferred his soul into the nearest item the aforesaid Good Guy doll. It's Andy's birthday, and he really wants a Good Guy, a near life-size talking doll. All Good Guys have their own names and respond to certain commands- they're like precursors to Furbies. Unfortunately, Andy's mother, Karen (Catherine Hicks), can't afford this expensive toy. Fate intervenes when she meets a peddler who sells her a Good Guy at a cut rate. While Child's Play is first and foremost a horror movie, there are enough elements of mystery and satire to help it rise above the genre. As the nominal hero and heroine, Sarandon and Hicks bring a nice level of human foible to their roles; they're not superheroes, and their encounters with the wicked doll are played with a kind of graceful absurdity that's as charming as it is nerve-wracking. As 6-year-old Andy, Alex Vincent is very good. His performance is natural, not too cloying and not too knowing. Chucky, looking like the in-bred cousin of the "My Buddy" dolls briefly popular in the mid-'80s, Chucky's big blue eyes and toothy overbite are creepy enough on their own and nightmarish when the monster inside the plastic takes over.
Chucky: "Hi, I'm Chucky. Wanna play?"
Dourif is a talented character actor with a resumé that includes a range from award-winning classics to bottom-scraping drek. He's perfect as the voice of the foul-mouthed, nasty, punk-ass Chucky, whose leering, low-rent sadism makes him the white trash answer to Dr. Phibes. Child's Play is a solid scary movie.Hey, you should really see this!

Appaloosa
by scotted harris directs this westarn, and a type i enjoy most, taking care of the bad guys, ed harris is a great gunslinger, along with his trusted companion played by viggo mortessan are hired to marshall a town, after years of hastle from jeremy irons and his gang of low lives, they suceed in warning them off, but are always on there toes, and when a young women played by renee zellwegger moves to town, a quiet life may be on the cards for the gunslinger, or could it be both of them she likes, things turn when irons is captured for murder, and justice needs to be served, the legal kind, a western from this year that is very old school in its aproach, takes its time and knows how to tell the story, harris and mortessen are great as old friends, and the usually annoying zellwegger comes off ok, irons also doing his dastardly deeds to great affect, some good moments throughout, action and drama combined, and yet again proof the western isnt dead

La Vie en Rose (La Mome)
by AudreyAstonishing film and an astounding performance by Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf-"the little sparrow".
The film is dark and brooding at points-understandably given Piaf's real struggles to continue singing. I liked the dark cinematography and the disjointed unfolding of the story.It seemed to parallel her life-disjointed,memories submerged and pain to block out...
Marion Cotillard is absolutely stellar and earned her Academy Award for her portrayal of Piaf and her extraordinary voice.Hey, you should really see this!

The Backwoods
by AudreyA viscerally chilling film that literally kept me on the edge of my seat right up to the end. It's been a long time since dramatic tension was so intense that I could'nt wait to see what happened next or,was'nt sure

I stumbled upon this movie last night and had not heard of it before. It was released in 2006 as Bosque de sombras.
In short,2 couples holiday in a remote area in Spain and happen across a ferral child,kept locked up in a cabin. They take the child and attempt to get her to the authorities. Before they can do that,her "family" comes looking for her.
A pretty good film with great cinematography-from a first time director.Hey, you should really see this!

Slums of Beverly Hills
by DanielleThe story of Vivian (Natasha Lyonne), a 14-year-old girl with an ever expanding bustline and Viv's father Murray (Alan Arkin) who moves his family (including Viv and her two brothers) every few weeks, jumping rent but staying in Beverly Hills because it's got "good schools." Lyonne is exceptional as Viv. She's sweet and sometimes endearing. She's the movie's lynchpin, and she's up to the task. The characters of Slums may seem overly quirky. No one in the film is normal. But therein lies the value of family. No matter how crazy you get, how far your luck has fallen, family is the home that is always there. That is the reward for the challenge of it all. So we fight, and we yell, and we do it because we have something invested in our families, ourselves.
Murray Samuel Abromowitz: "Who the hell is that on your shirt?
Eliot: Charles Manson, sir.
Murray Samuel Abromowitz: Okay...
[to family]
Murray Samuel Abromowitz: Your sister gets the bedroom."
What Slums of Beverly Hills lacks in cohesiveness, it makes up for in schmaltz and spirit. Hence, its more sentient moments are rarely obscured. This despite a gaggle of offbeat characters, an unusual brand of sexual frankness that flirts on the fringes of titillation, and a circus-like style of plot exposition. Many times, films that combine comedy and drama do so in an uncomfortable and unwieldy manner. In Slums of Beverly Hills, the approach is natural and satisfying.Hey, you should really see this!
