That all changes when Milo is courted by deceptively friendly software magnate Gary Winston Tim Robbins, the immensely wealthy head of world dominating, Portland based company, NURV. Milo takes the bait, leaving Teddy behind. Arriving in Portland to a NURV provided house and car, with his girlfriend Claire Forlani in tow, Milo finds himself working on Winston's masterplan software that will link the world's communications devices together. But it's not long before Milo begins to uncover disturbing evidence of Winston's unethical and brutal business tactics. When Winston's web of violence touches Milo's world, he joins forces with fellow NURV programmer, Lisa Rachael Leigh Cook, and sets out to tell the world of Winston's reprehensible practices. Though obviously influenced by the practices of a certain Pacific Northwest based software empire and its recognizable leader, Howard Franklin's THE NAME OF THE ROSE script is a snappy popcorn muncher that manages to generate suspense even though it realizes its own excesses. Robbins, as evil geek Gary Winston, is obviously having a good time. ANTITRUST takes the conventions of the conspiracy film and adds a candy colored millennial sheen. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005.

The eldest son, Andy Philip Seymour Hoffman, is a frustrated, drug abusing stockbroker who is unable to satisfy his gorgeous wife Marisa Tomei. The youngest son, Hank Ethan Hawke, is passive and struggles to make alimony payments. Their parents Albert Finney and Rosemary Harris live in Westchester and operate a small jewelry store.

When Henry was a boy, his father was killed in a herding accident on the land, and Henry fled to the big city. Now, years later, he has returned to sell his half of the farm and at the behest of his therapist to face his fears. Meanwhile, Henry's sadistic older brother Angus Peter Feeney has taken over the family business, and become widely known for his controversial genetic experiments on the animals. When two animal activists release one of Angus's genetically altered lambs, Henry's trip quickly turns into his worst nightmare, as the lamb's zombie like bite turns sheep and people into vicious flesh eaters. Henry joins forces with one of the animal activists Danielle Mason, and together they try to escape the sheep and find an antidote for the virus. Director Jonathon King cleverly plays on the silliness of the normally docile, dimwitted lamb as terrifying monster, and his shots of the sheep swarming over the hills induce equal parts thrills and laughter. However, the storyline could perhaps have benefited from a bit less action, and a bit more plot, as the suspense and jokes begin to fizzle by the end. The excellent WETA WORKSHOP known for its work on the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy delivers hilariously gory special effects. Faces are eaten off, humans throw their own limbs, and heads explode, culminating in a raucous bloodbath that will likely earn BLACK SHEEP cult status among the EVIL DEAD crowd.

After returning to his hometown of Lumberton, North Carolina, in order to visit his sick father, Jeffrey Beaumont Kyle MacLachlan discovers a severed human ear in a vacant field. He befriends Sandy Williams Laura Dern, the daughter of the detective assigned to the case, and uses her information to investigate the situation himself. This leads Jeffrey to Dorothy Valence Isabella Rossellini, a sexy nightclub singer whose involvement with a raving psychopath named Frank Booth Dennis Hopper begins to answer some important questions. Unfortunately, it also draws Jeffrey one step closer to Frank, a menacing figure who inhales from a nitrous oxide tank and preaches the pleasures of drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. The film contains such a unique blend of comedy, drama, and suspense that the line between the three is blurred, making for an unsettling yet highly invigorating viewing experience. Lynch manages to create a world onscreen that is superficially normal but tinted with a weirdness that is all his own. It is this twisting of reality that makes BLUE VELVET an oddly familiar yet completely unique motion picture, featuring an unforgettable performance by Dennis Hopper. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005.

A lazy beach bum named Ryan Chris Evans finds himself getting focused in a real hurry when he receives a random cell phone call from kidnapped biology teacher Kim Basinger. She's locked in an attic with a room full of killers below, and has only managed to contact him via crossing loose wires on a smashed phone if they lose the connection, she may never get another one, and the kidnappers are going after her child next. What follows is a nonstop race all over Los Angeles as Ryan deals with connection threatening problems like tunnels, low batteries, and crossed signals. William H. Macy is great as the weary cop who doggedly senses something's amiss, and British actor Jason Statham SNATCH is a really scary kidnapper with a convincing American accent. Hitchcock would likely smile in approval of director David R. Ellis borrowing many of his suspense building tricks, as it's all in the service of keeping the anxiety jacked up to maximum. This is fine b movie entertainment, with believable, intelligent characters, no GGI effects, and everything happening in almost real time. Highlights include a cell phone store visit and Eddie Driscoll as an obnoxious lawyer. Basinger is amazing, as usual, in a difficult role. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

Pakula created a film that takes its place among such important conspiracy dramas as THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR and THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH. The focus is on the 1972 investigation of the break in at the Democratic Party headquarters, otherwise known as the Watergate burglary. Through a complicated web of intrigue and secrecy that eventually involves the highest levels of government, hungry young journalists Woodward Robert Redford and Bernstein Dustin Hoffman of the Washington Post aggressively examine the incident, uncovering information that ultimately leads to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Exceptional performances by Redford and Hoffman are complemented by Jason Robards as the dubious but supportive executive editor at the Post, and Hal Holbrook's celebrated characterization of the mysterious informer Deep Throat.

Set in the glittering milieu of New York's Hamptons, the film stars Michael Caine as Sidney Bruhl, a washed up writer of Broadway hit thrillers reeling from the unmitigated flop of his most recent play. Upon returning to his wife, Myra a heart murmur afflicted, pill popping, and incredibly wealthy hysterical played to great effect by Dyan Cannon Sidney reveals that to add to his chagrin, a former student Christopher Reeve has sent him his brilliant first play, entitled DEATHTRAP. Much to his wife's dismay, Sidney concocts a mad scheme to lure the young playwright out to East Hampton and then promptly kill him in order to claim the play as his own. When the wheels of Sidney's plan are set in motion, the three characters launch into a tense, high pitched game of double entendres, hidden intentions, and unexpected twists. The genre's typical propensity for reversals is magnified tenfold as DEATHTRAP begins to feed upon its own script, taking the characters on a blind ride through sheer suspense and manipulation. Caine, Cannon, and Reeve turn in bravado performances that inject the already taught script with fine tuned tension and raise the viewer's suspension of disbelief to dizzying and hilarious heights.

Starting out in the 1950s as typical gangster crime dramas, '60s and '70s lucha libre employed increasingly outlandish storylines involving supernatural foes like aliens, mummies, and zombies. A fun mix of sci fi, horror, comedy, action, and suspense, this campy doubleheader from the golden age of '70s lucha libre features some of the genre's biggest stars, including El Santo, Blue Demon, Mil Mascaras, Superzan, and El Rayo de Jalisco EL TRIUNFO DE LOS CAMPEONES JUSTICIEROS 1974 and UNA ROSA SOBRE EL RING 1973.

A beautiful woman, Florence, and her lover, Julien, plan to murder her husband who happens to be Julien's boss as well, so they can be together. After carefully carrying out the crime, Julien gets stuck inside the elevator when the power is turned off. The film takes off in a number of surprising twists and turns, one of which includes a young couple who steal Julien's car. They take a ride outside the city and kill a German couple in a hotel, a crime the police eventually pin on Julien. However, Jeanne Moreau's performance as Florence wandering around nighttime Paris in a sad, desperate search for her missing lover, with Davis' haunting score in the background, heightens the tension and suspense of the film and reveals the story's emotional core.

The story comes from Miller's one act play, SOME KIND OF LOVE STORY, which generated speculation about whether the mercurial, always acting Angela Crispini character was based on his ex wife Marilyn Monroe. But here, Miller changes the play's title to the highly ironic EVERYBODY WINS and skirts the topic. Angela Crispini hires Tom O'Toole Nick Nolte, a private detective known for working on wrongful conviction cases, to help obtain a new trial for Felix Frank Military, a teenager convicted of the murder of his uncle. As the detective, Nolte slowly falls for the seductive Angela as she reveals more details of the case, dropping hints that make him suspect that she's in some way involved.While the detective as a moral outsider pulling the masks off hypocritical authorities has become something of an American cliche, Miller steers away from the whodunit aspects, concentrating on the love affair, and Angela's shaky footing. Winger does an impressive job in a near split personality part that requires rapid shifting from one characterization to another. Miller provides a more character driven detective story than is usual in the genre, but not one without suspense. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

Though years of more horrific violence and suspense have dulled its impact somewhat, THE HITCH HIKER was way ahead of its time. Considered among Ida Lupino's best work, this must see film was the progenitor of many, many films that would follow in its tire treads.DETOUR Low budget director Edgar G. Ulmer cemented his reputation with this downbeat film noir masterpiece. It has since inspired countless filmmakers. The use of minimal sets and rear screen projection gives a feeling of a claustrophobic nightmare as Al Tom Neal, a down and out piano player, hitchhikes from New York to Los Angeles in order to be with his singer girlfriend Claudia Drake. Fate has other plans for Al when he steps into the car of a character named Haskel Edmund MacDonald, who promptly dies in his sleep one night while Al is driving. Afraid the cops will never believe the truth, Al takes Haskell's money, car, and identity, and tries to make it to Los Angeles, only to have fate intervene again when he picks up a mean spirited female hitchhiker Ann Savage.This film is short, cramped and breathtaking, with no pause in its relentless rhythm of despair. Tom Neal's performance as the man snared in a web of fate is raw and real. Ann Savage is fierce. Ulmer's direction is hallucinatory and amazing. From a script by mystery writer Martin Goldsmith, this film demands repeat viewing by any serious student of cinema, or lover of movies. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

Mackye Gruber, the duo behind the film BLUNT. Director David R. Ellis revels in film as an entertainment vehicle and the result is a no holds barred raucous good time. Ellis' background as a stuntman and stunt coordinator helps him build electric suspense through a chain of seemingly simple actions that in fact loaded and lethal.In the original, FINAL DESTINATION, a group of students avoided the tragic crash of Flight 180 when Alexander Browning had a premonition. Death, however, didn't like being outwitted, and one by one the survivors died in freak accidents. The sole survivor was Clear Rivers Ali Larter who voluntarily checked into a padded room at Stonybrook Institute. FINAL DESTINATION II takes place on Flight 180's one year anniversary. Kimberly Corman A.J. Cook is joyriding with some friends on Route 23 when she sees herself, her friends, and other drivers involved in a massive multi car pileup. The scene is so artfully executed, it physically hurts to watch. She and police officer Thomas Burke Michael Landes save a group of people who would have otherwise died in the crash. But, as ever, death approacheth, taking the likes of Evan David Paetkau, the Trans Am loving lottery winner who puts up a good fight but is ultimately impaled on a fire escape ladder and Tim James Kirk, who almost chokes to death at the dentist and is later flattened by a piece of industrial glass.

Klaus Kinski gives a terrifying and determined portrayal of mad genius Fitzcarraldo, whose twin goals of making a fortune off the Amazon rubber trade and bringing an opera house to the jungle give the film its crushing centerpiece the maniacal leader's Sisyphean efforts at hauling a gigantic steamship over a mountain bank. The single minded and wickedly energetic Fitzcarraldo moves mountains and a boat with his will and along the way acts out a stunning and emotional battle between man and nature, as in the similarly themed HerzogKinski collaboration AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD. Herzog's razor sharp attention to the minutiae of both Fitzcarraldo's madness and the jungle's corresponding apathy and enormity makes the film a breathtaking metaphor for civilization's impact on the natural world. The documentary style of the film the cast and crew actually hauled the boat over the mountain gives the tale an urgency and suspense that, combined with Kinski's bravado performance and Herzog's striking sense of landscape, make FITZCARRALDO an unforgettable experience.

We have but one hint It's not about the children. But as local police, the feds, and other unknowns follow Telly Julianne Moore, a young mother who refuses to forget the death of her 9 year old son Sam, it's clear that the children are a hot button issue. While it's fishy enough that nobody not even Telly's own husband Anthony Edwards seems to remember Sam, and the plane crash she claims killed him was never reported in the newspapers, it's a question of whose story to believe. And Moore, the frantic mother with madness flickering in her eyes, may simply be delusional, or so her shrink Gary Sinise says. But when she finds another grieving parent, Ash Dominic West, whose daughter died in the same accident, she now has a partner in conspiracy theory. Together, Ash and Telly flee through the damp alleyways beneath the Brooklyn Bridge where steam escapes from potholes and police searchlights penetrate the gothic fog. Somebody knows something about the children, and they want Ash and Telly to forget. THE FORGOTTEN springs into an action adventure race for the truth, with surprising special effects, exciting jolts, and bird's eye camera shots on ominous geometric patterns in the urban landscape keeping this mystery in fifth gear.

What is not clear, though, is how Willy Beachum Ryan Gosling, an assertive assistant D.A. on the verge signing with a major law firm, will convict Crawford, since the calculating suspect is masterfully exploiting legal loopholes that may keep him a free man. As Beachum becomes more and more determined to beat Crawford at his own intricately setup game, he risks losing both his shot at the lucrative job and his new love, Nikki Gardner Rosamund Pike.Easily Hoblit's finest film since 1996's PRIMAL FEAR, FRACTURE benefits from a similar sense of suspense, which is heightened by the fascinating interplay between Hopkins and Gosling. While Hopkins verges on Hannibal Lecter territory, he never makes the leap to that villain's macabre persona, instead making Crawford a chillingly detached criminal who finds room for occasional moments of disarming humor. And as Beachum, Gosling embodies young, aspiring swagger, making his character the polar opposite of his lost, drug addled Oscar nominated role in HALF NELSON. Aided by a smart script courtesy of Glenn Gers and Daniel Pyne, Hopkins and Gosling take what could have been a decent courtroom drama, and elevate it to the level of a mesmerizing chess match.

The film opens on a stormy night when an intense man Matthew McConaughey walks into FBI headquarters in Dallas and tells Agent Wesley Doyle Powers Boothe that he knows who the God's Hand serial killer is. He tells a compelling tale, shown in flashback, of how he and his brother lived with their kind widower father Bill Paxton, a mechanic. One night, their father woke them to tell them he'd had a vision, and that God had commanded the family to slay demons in human form. The older brother, Fenton Matt O'Leary, doesn't believe a word of it, and assumes that their father has gone mad. The younger brother, Adam Jeremy Sumpter, is more easily swayed. Soon the father is bringing people home, supposedly chosen by God for them to slay. When Fenton tries to resist his father's plan, he finds his own life in danger. Eschewing graphic gore in favor of more subtle chills, Paxton's suspenseful and creepy film harkens back to the wholesome surface and underlying depravity of classics like NIGHT OF THE HUNTER.SAW Be prepared to be scared. James Wan's directorial debut, written by and starring Leigh Whannell, is a violent, bloody, psychologically exhausting and exhilarating exercise in terror. Adam Whannell and Dr. Gordon Cary Elwes are chained in a vile, disgusting bathroom, separated by a bloody corpse holding a gun and a tape recorder. They are each given a saw the only obvious way out is to cut one of their feet off. A serial killer who specializes in torturing morally bereft strangers is playing a game with them Gordon has less than eight hours to kill Adam or else the doctor's wife Monica Potter and daughter Mackenzie Vega will be murdered. As the two men engage in a battle of wits, alternately trying to help each other and secretly attempting to win the game, a series of flashbacks reveals the history of the madman and the pair of detectives Danny Glover and Ken Leung handling the case. Some of the torture scenes are excruciatingly horrible and hard to watch, a real treat for fans of the genre. Inspired by the work of David Lynch BLUE VELVET, TWIN PEAKS and Dario Argento SUSPIRIA, INFERNO, Wan has created a scintillating suspense thriller that will have audiences continually shocked, repelled, frightened, and surprised, right up to the very last second which Whannell has said was influenced by the endings of such films as THE USUAL SUSPECTS and THE SIXTH SENSE. The accompanying heavy metal soundtrack is appropriately scary as well. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

The film focuses on a gunman hiding out with the Resistance in Prague after the 1942 assassination of Hitler henchman Reinhard Heydrich, known as the Hangman. Loosely based on a true story, Lang's film is a terse and melodramatic portrait of mass resistance and Nazi brutality. From the assassination scene reminiscent of TOUCH OF EVIL in which Franz Svoboda Brian Donlevy gets help from the underground resistance in order to narrowly escape being captured by the Nazis, to the heart wrenching and suspenseful showdowns between the resistance and the Nazis, HANGMEN ALSO DIE is a tightly structured and elegantly filmed masterpiece. Hiding out in the home of the Novotny family, Svoboda risks the lives of everyone he meets, including Professor Novotny and his daughter Mascha. When the Nazis gather up all of the writers and intellectuals in town, including Professor Novotny, Mascha threatens to turn Svoboda over the the authorities, but the resistance intervenes with a last ditch scheme to frame a Czech collaborator for the Hangman's murder. The suspense builds as day by day the Nazis continue to murder more Czechs and the Gestapo gets closer to finding the identity of the assassin. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

On the Isle of Man, a lawyer and a fisherman, best friends since childhood, fall in love with the same woman with disastrous consequences. This adaptation of a novel by Hall Craine was the last collaboration between Hitchcock and screenwriter Eliot Stannard. RICH AND STRANGE A rare light romantic comedy with Hitchcockian touches, RICH AND STRANGE tells the story of a young and bored married couple Henry Kendall and Joan Barry who inherit some money and set off on a trip around the world, only to discover after having their respective affairs that money can't buy happiness. The film was based on the novel by Dale Collins, but the film has often been interpreted as containing autobiographical elements from Hitchcock's marriage to his frequent collaborator Alma Reville and their honeymoon experiences cruising the Mediterranean.THE SKIN GAME This early Hitchcock talkie tells the tale of old money and new money feuding over a family estate in jolly class conscious England. THE SKIN GAME closely follows the hit London play by John Galsworthy for the film, Hitchcock was able to elicit superb performances from his stars in this study of the English family and the English class system. The film tracks a fierce rivalry between a landowner and his immediate neighbor, complete with nasty tactics, class based hostility, and dirty secrets that beg to be unearthed.MURDER! is a British suspense mystery about a jurist who believes in the innocence of a young woman accused of murder and sets out to prove his theory. Well photographed, and characterized by quick cutting and sharp dialogue, MURDER is one of Hitchcock's rare whodunits. Based on a novel by Clemence Dane and sporting several references to HAMLET and an interior monologue, the film is a groundbreaking adaptation of a novel into an early talkie. It also features Herbert Marshall's first speaking part.THE RING The film, like its title, oscillates between marriage and boxing the dramas of a boxing ring and the troubles of the heart. The story follows two fighters who are in love with the same woman. One man is a title holder, while the other is a carnival booth fighter hired to be his boxing partner. Hitchcock's small visual touches underscore the complexities of emotions, and his symbolic use of objects such as a snake bracelet make this a classic silent film. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005.

Still in jail, the favorite swears vengeance on his brothers, and complex motivations of duty, justice, and jealousy propel the four men toward a final confrontation. Though primarily known for directing dramas, Joseph L. Mankiewicz brought his skill with actors and understanding of emotional purpose to several suspense films, such as FIVE FINGERS and SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER, adding rich depth to the genre.

When the ship's doctor examines the unconscious castaway, he discovers two bullet wounds and an implanted device that displays a Swiss bank account number. With nothing but this code, the amnesiac Bourne travels to Zurich and gains access to a safe deposit box containing a gun, thousands of dollars in various currencies, and valid passports from numerous countries each listing a different identity. Within minutes, Bourne is on the run from a seemingly ever present agency, relying on language and fighting skills he didn't even know he possessed. Offering 20,000 for a ride to Paris, Bourne gains the reluctant help of the nomadic Marie Franka Potente. Meanwhile, the shadowy organization, headed by a tough talking bureaucrat Chris Cooper, sends numerous assassins including the Professor, played by Clive Owen after Bourne and Marie. As their situation grows more perilous, the two strangers struggle to find out who Bourne really is and why they are being hunted.Doug Liman's adaptation of Robert Ludlum's best selling novel is a remarkable exercise in straightforward storytelling, with the director wisely choosing to focus on Bourne and his quest for identity. The fight sequences are thrilling, but never overly glamorized, and the film's pacing is engaging and deliberate. Damon, who displays genuine bewilderment as his character discovers his almost superhuman abilities, anchors the proceedings with the subtle charm of an unlikely action hero. Potente also shines as Bourne's road companion, a savvy woman who slowly builds an utterly believable relationship with the confused man. Bearing distinct affinity for its European setting and classic Hollywood suspense films, THE BOURNE IDENTITY succeeds as an unusually smart character driven thriller. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005.

It is summertime and Michele Guiseppe Cristiano is free to spend the long sunny days riding his bike and running through the wheat fields. In fact, the wheat could be considered Michele's costar, as it often consumes the entire scope of the screen, showing how Michele plays, hides, and ponders life in the vast expanses of flowing yellow stalks. Because there are only a few other children in the village, Michele often plays alone, and one day he discovers a hole in the ground, obscured by wheat, where a boy his age is chained and imprisoned. The boy has clearly been starved and mistreated, yet Michele approaches him fearlessly and attempts to make friends with him. With the dreaminess that is a 10 year old's truest treasure, Michele doesn't ask too many questions, nor does he draw conclusions about why the boy is in the hole, or who put him there. Through the expressions on young Michele's face, viewers can read his light questioning of human existence, human morality, and human rights. However, as the film draws on, subtly revealing shocking secrets about the adults in Michele's village, the beauty of this utterly simple yet deadly powerful plot come clear. I'M NOT SCARED is a moving film built on crystal clear images of the Italian sun, sky, and wheat fields strangely offset by its startling loss of innocence story. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005.

Klaus Gunter Meisner, a Nazi doctor who used his position as a means to molest young boys, escapes to Spain after the war and returns to his depraved ways. Driven mad by his inability to control his pedophilic urges, Klaus tries to kill himself, but fails and ends up completely incapacitated in an iron lung. Young, attractive Angelo David Sust seems like a savior when he arrives to become Klaus' nurse, but he soon reveals an ulterior motive. Angleo has found diaries in which Klaus details his horrible crimes, and the twisted symbiosis that develops between patient and caretaker once again spurs Klaus' desires and leads to a string of gruesome child murders. In addition to strong performances by the primary characters, the film features Marisa Paredes, who regularly appears in the films of Pedro Almodovar. The highly disturbing topics of Nazi war crimes, pedophilia, and torture create a way Villaronga to deal with issues of power and self concept, as Angelo's identity and desires blends with Klaus and his past, and the strong visuals that incorporate many long shots add to the suspense and sheer terror.

Over 162 minutes director Philip Groening films a group of monks who dwell in the Carthusian monastery of the Grande Chartreuse in the French Alps. The monks have taken a vow of silence, and live life at such a gentile pace that it took them 13 years to respond to Groening's request to make a film about them. The subjects of Groening's film fill their days with slow and highly repetitive routines, so the director shoots at a suitably slow pace, highlighting simple tasks such as praying, gardening, cooking, and doing laundry. Groening lived with the monks for four months and worked under strict conditions dictated to him by the order no voiceover, music, or interviews were to be included in the film, and Groening was to be the sole crew member on the shoot. There are a couple of moments when Groening breaks with his modus operandi. He interviews an elderly blind monk, the Gregorian Chants practiced by the order occasionally feature, and the monks stage a snowball fight on one of their weekly breaks from the monastery. But the film is mostly comprised of a long, lonely trip into silence, and will doubtless leave its audience members in a contemplative and restful state of mind once the journey comes to a peaceful end.

THE ISLAND In this thriller from director Michael Bay PEARL HARBOR, ARMAGEDDON, survivors of global contamination live in a sterile, self contained world where their every move is monitored. The rules are easy be pleasant, refrain from asking questions, and don't rock the boat. Everything they need is provided for them, from the white uniforms that magically appear in their closets, to their customized cafeteria style meals. The survivors all eagerly await their big payoff winning the lottery and being sent to The Island, the only remaining untainted land in the world. But Lincoln Six Echo Ewan McGregor yearns for more from his life and begins to wonder what really lies outside the thick walls. When his best friend, Jordan Two Delta Scarlett Johansson, wins the lottery, he knows that he has to find out the truth about their world before she departs. MINORITY REPORT Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise, this science fiction thriller is based on a short story by renowned writer Philip K. Dick. In the year 2054, in Washington, D.C., murder has been eliminated thanks to Precrime, a program that uses the visions of three psychics, called Precogs an abbreviation for precognitive thinkers, to arrest and imprison would be murderers before they have a chance to kill. Tom Cruise plays John Anderton, a Precrime enforcer who believes in the system for his own personal reasons. The director of Precrime Max von Sydow is eager to take the program national, and feels threatened by an ambitious federal agent Colin Farrell who is bent on finding a flaw in the system. When Anderton finds himself accused of the future murder of a man he's never met, his faith in Precrime is instantly shaken. He goes on the run, and is trailed by the relentless Precrime police. In the tradition of BLADE RUNNER also based on a Dick story, MINORITY REPORT is a dark, brooding vision of the future. Spielberg expertly mixes thrilling chase and suspense sequences the best of which involves Anderton being pursued by eye scanning mechanical spiders and stunning special effects with a challenging look at society's willingness to sacrifice privacy and the notion of free will for convenience and security.

Along the way they are run off the road by a strange truck, and later they see its driver disposing of what looks like a human body down a drainpipe near an old church. Derry Justin Long convinces his older sister, Trish Gina Phillips, that they have to investigate, and despite all better judgement, they do. That's just the beginning of this wild horror film, directed by Victor Salva POWDER. Salva keeps the audience guessing by never settling into any particular style or formula. The film veers gleefully in all directions, referencing such classics as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, and even THE TERMINATOR, along the body strewn way. There is no shortage of clever humor amid the shocks, gross outs, and nail biting suspense, and Phillips and Long exhibit a refreshingly believable brother sister rapport. The supporting cast includes Patricia Belcher as a psychic and Eileen Brennan as an eccentric cat owner. Francis Ford Coppola is the executive producer. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005.

Everything should be golden for the happy family, but their little boy the nine year old Joshua Jacob Kogan is less than pleased with the latest addition to the family.

The family stress mounts, and when small animals and the family dog turn up dead, it doesn't take long before fingers begin pointing at the brooding and bizarre Joshua.Vera Farmiga delivers a realistic and disturbing performance as someone tottering at the edge of emotional collapse, and Sam Rockwell is a true pleasure to watch in his turn as a father desperately trying to hold his life together. Using a slow, teasing pace and claustrophobic camera angles, the film strives for a Hitchockian level of suspense while also delivering many topnotch performances. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005.

He revitalized the film noir with his darkly witty films, RED ROCK WEST and THE LAST SEDUCTION. With JOY RIDE, Dahl streamlines the plot and ratchets up the tension. Two brothers, Lewis Paul Walker and Fuller Steve Zahn are driving home cross country. Fuller bullies Lewis into using the CB radio Prehistoric internet, Fuller calls it to play a mean spirited practical joke on a trucker, and it backfires horribly. The psychotic trucker comes after them, but they get away. Foolishly thinking they're out of danger, they pick up Venna Leelee Sobieski, the girl Lewis has been pining for, on the way home. The mysterious trucker, who they know only by his CB handle, Rusty Nail, goes further than they could ever imagine to exact his revenge. Zahn is pitch perfect here, capturing both Fuller's charm and his stupid recklessness. Dahl builds the suspense beautifully, creating a real sense of being out on the highway in the middle of nowhere. The script, by Clay Tarver and J.J. Abrams, brings three strong characters to life with sharp, funny dialogue, fleshing out the bare bones of the plot. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

Jonas Ball makes his feature film debut as Chapman, the crazed gunman who shot John Lennon on December 8, 1980. Basing his script on Chapman's own words from interviews, writings, court transcripts, and depositions, Piddington retraces the events leading up to the shooting, which reverberated around the world. He goes back three months, showing Chapman's dysfunctional relationship with his mother Krishna Fairchild and his inattentiveness to his wife Mie Omori in Honolulu, where he was living after leaving his hometown of Decatur, Georgia. Chapman soon becomes obsessed with J. D. Salinger's classic novel THE CATCHER IN THE RYE, seeing himself as fictional character Holden Caulfield, who must root out the phonies of the world. By accident, he chooses former Beatle John Lennon as his victim, ultimately reasoning that Lennon sings about imagining no possessions yet is a millionaire living in the ritzy Dakota building in New York City, so he must be brought down. Chapman buys a gun, heads to the Big Apple, and starts stalking the Dakota, gripping his copy of Lennon's comeback album, DOUBLE FANTASY, recorded with his wife, Yoko Ono. Through voice over narration, dialogue, and poignant one person scenes, Piddington follows Chapman's dark, dangerous descent that results in cold blooded murder. The film is shot on location in Decatur, Honolulu, and Manhattan, at the exact spots where the actual events took place. Ball gives a quirky, deeply felt performance, part Travis Bickle in TAXI DRIVER, part Rupert Pupkin in THE KING OF COMEDY, part Valerie Solanas in I SHOT ANDY WARHOL, embodying Chapman, while Piddington manages to hold viewers in suspense even though they know what is going to happen.

Forced out of hiding as the result of an attempt on his life, Bourne fulfills his earlier promise to wreak vengeance on his former CIA employers, some of whom may be in league with murderous Russians. Brian Cox and Joan Allen are both great as warring agency chiefs convinced Bourne orchestrated the murder of two of their own in a deal gone bad. Thanks to tense, gritty direction by Paul Greengrass BLOODY SUNDAY, the plot stays tight, the characters believable, and suspense and thrills flow steady. Moody photography enhances the urban European locations, which combined with handheld camerawork and fast editing keeps the action realistic and CGI free. Vividly capturing the fatalist flavor of Robert Ludlum's original novel, this is globalism noir at its finest. Franka Potente and Julia Stiles are back from the original, and the always dependable Marton Csokas shows up as one of Bourne's deadly fellow operatives. A rousing car chase through Moscow may outdo the ones in RONIN and THE FRENCH CONNECTION for visceral speed and length. As the icing on the cake, John Powell provides a menacing, ambient percussive score. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

It steadily and deliberately delivers the same themes shared by older Christian pictures, but it benefits from more modern visual trappings. LEFT BEHIND might also be compared to another group of films made in the 1990s that are oriented towards fundamentalist Christians.

LURED, a good example of this, is a witty and stylish thriller about a serial killer terrorizing the streets of London. Lucille Ball stars as Sandra, a sassy and beautiful taxi dancer, who decides to assist the police after her best friend becomes the latest victim of the Poet Killer, a mysterious murderer who lures women through classified ads. Sandra launches on an endless quest, answering every suspicious ad in the paper in search of the elusive killer, whose only clues are enigmatic poems based on the poetry of Beaudelaire. En route to the real killer, Sandra encounters a ridiculous cast of ominous characters, from an insane dressmaker played by an arch and hilarious Boris Karloff and a shady character who traffics in white slavery. The killer still eludes Sandra and the Scotland Yard, and her growing affection for the stylish nightclub owner Robert Flemming proves to bring more complications than she imagines, leading to a surprising and ingenious climax. Ball is sharp and glamorous as the unwitting detective and Sirk's swift and fast paced direction melds humor with suspense to created a highly entertaining thriller. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005.

Her multigenerational, all female family relies too much on her as the principle breadwinner, squandering her earnings on medicines of questionable value for her sister's baby. This drives Maria to quit, dump her immature boyfriend, and go to Bogotá where she tumbles into work as a drug mule. Like thousands of real life Columbians, she earns money by flying to New York City with up to a kilogram of tightly wrapped heroin pellets in her stomach, risking prison or worse instant death should even one of the pellets break open inside her. Marston based the film on actual interviews with airport customs agents and former mules the result is an authentic, intensely cinematic experience. The camera wrings vivid color and mood from the many on location settings and doesn't shy away from any aspect of Maria's journey, making this succeed as a suspense film, character study, and detailed examination of a rarely seen aspect of the drug wars.

Al Pacino is virtually unrecognizable as Shylock, bringing an old world gravitas to the role and clearly inspiring the rest of the cast to match his intensity. They succeed, and the result is riveting, rousing entertainment. Even if one is familiar with the play in advance, this is white knuckle suspense and swooning romance all the way through. A 16th century Venetian sea merchant Jeremy Irons, devoted to a young lord Joseph Fiennes, owes a debt for a pound of flesh to the anguished Jewish moneylender Shylock. Lovingly filmed in Venice, the film looks great, with settings and costumes all sporting a dusky, lived in look that matches the subdued, naturalistic interpretation of the dialogue. Lynn Collins is excellent and ethereal as Portia, and her love scenes with Fiennes have an alchemical power that lifts them to dizzyingly mythic romantic heights. Vague homoerotic content and the grim realities of Jewish oppression are not shied away from here, which lends the film further richness and complexity. With the play's rich array of dramatic and comedic elements all perfectly in tune, MERCHANT OF VENICE earns its place as the first truly great Shakespeare film of the 21st century.

In the year 2054, in Washington, D.C., murder has been eliminated thanks to Precrime, a program that uses the visions of three psychics, called Precogs an abbreviation for precognitive thinkers, to arrest and imprison would be murderers before they have a chance to kill. Tom Cruise plays John Anderton, a Precrime enforcer who believes in the system for his own personal reasons years back his young son was abducted, and he has dealt with the loss by becoming a high strung Precrime officer. The director of Precrime Max von Sydow is eager to take the program national, and feels threatened by an ambitious federal agent Colin Farrell who is bent on finding a flaw in the system. When Anderton finds himself accused of the future murder of a man he's never met, his faith in Precrime is instantly shaken. He goes on the run, and is trailed by the relentless Precrime police. In the tradition of BLADE RUNNER also based on a Dick story, MINORITY REPORT is a dark, brooding vision of the future. Spielberg expertly mixes thrilling chase and suspense sequences the best of which involves Anderton being pursued by eye scanning mechanical spiders and stunning special effects with a challenging look at society's willingness to sacrifice privacy and the notion of free will for convenience and security.

Enough things explode, drive fast, and roll down hillsides to satiate any action fan looking for a well oiled thrill machine. Cage and Moore are their usual likeable screen personas, Biel's Liz Cooper is a suitably crushworthy romantic interest, and Mark Isham's CRASH, THE BLACK DAHLIA score provides perfect accompaniment to the proceedings.

Using money from her divorce settlement, the unhappy mother decides to buy the spacious home. The former abode of a wealthy eccentric, this townhouse contains an unusual extra feature, a supposedly impenetrable panic room equipped with surveillance monitors, a separate phone line, and other survival aids, where residents can hide in case of emergency. When three men Burnham Forest Whitaker, Junior Jared Leto, and Raoul Dwight Yoakam break into their new home, Meg and Sarah end up using the panic room much sooner than they could have possibly imagined. And, unfortunately for them, these intruders are not simple burglars they possess knowledge that makes the situation much more perilous.Hitchcockian in its confined setting and carefully doled out suspense, Fincher's PANIC ROOM is more straightforward than his infamous FIGHT CLUB, though no less engaging. Foster who replaced Nicole Kidman after she injured herself on the set of MOULIN ROUGE gives her best performance since THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. The thieves are equally compelling Whitaker shines as a likeable, sad eyed security expert Leto provides comic relief as a talkative brat and Yoakam is perfectly loathsome as an armed to the teeth psycho. Although the film features some of Fincher's trademark hi tech effects, its true bells and whistles are the excellent cast, the stunning photography, the moody score, and the simple yet thrilling story.

Barry Egan Adam Sandler is a quiet, shy, socially awkward man with an office in an out of the way warehouse. He is dedicated to his job as a wholesale toilet plunger salesman, he keeps a nice apartment, and he is obsessed with special offers on grocery store products. Barry's latest fixation is on frequent flier miles included with the purchase of Healthy Choice foods. Barry wears a bright blue suit, though he doesn't know why. With seven outspoken sisters, Barry is constantly being nagged, questioned, and berated. He is challenged to explain the reasons for his actions, and it eventually becomes clear that Barry cannot control his often violent impulses, a trait which is increasingly problematic. When a beautiful woman, Lena Leonard Emily Watson, walks into his life with an instinctive attraction to him, a nonjudgmental attitude, and unconditional love, Barry undergoes a powerful transformation. Anderson's film is a tour de force for which he garnered the Best Director award at Cannes 2002. Set primarily in Los Angeles and Utah, he shoots either bleak deserted spaces apartment building hallways or lush, exotic paradises Hawaii. Aiming for a Technicolor look, the blue of Barry's suit in contrast with Lena's solid pinks, reds, and whites, pops off of the screen. Colorful interludes designed by visual artist Jeremy Blake offer hallucinogenic lapses from the action of the film, while the rapid percussive score by Jon Brion keeps the suspense and the emotional exasperation of the film on a constantly high level.

Years later, an adult April returns to her mother's life, and the two must forge a new relationship. Complications in the process arise when Kitty finds balancing motherhood and her fading career difficult, and April must fend off advances from her mother's lover at the same time she explores her first love. This musical drama fits nicely into the backstage musical and melodrama category, which explores the ups and downs of entertainers' lives when they're not performing, but the deft direction of Rouben Mamoulian helps the film exceed its place in the genre. Made just as American cinema begins to move from silent films to talkies, Mamoulian manages to transform a soapy story into a sophisticated and moving portrait of the life of an aging performer who trades on her beauty. This heartrending musical possesses even more significance given its pre code status a film made prior to the institution of the self censorship of sex, violence and other controversial content that began formally in 1934 and lasted until the late 1960s.

Robinson, a quiet, staid cashier and dedicated Sunday painter, feels consumed by passion for the first time in his life when he meets pretty, manipulative Kitty. The two become involved, but Kitty is really in love with petty crook Johnny. She keeps Christopher around simply for his money. In order to impress his precious mistress, Cross embezzles funds from his employer. He doesn't realize, however, that Kitty and Johnny are also getting rich on his paintings, which are becoming a huge success under Kitty's name. When Christopher's theft comes to light, he loses his job and his dignity. And when he seeks out Kitty for solace, he discovers her in Johnny's embrace. The film explodes in its violent climax, and with it Lang creates perhaps his most chilling Film Noir work. The tightly structured story and the evocative paintings that lie symbolically at the center of the plot create a visual and psychological atmosphere of suspense, filled with double meanings and games of representation and appearance, all pointing toward a brutal final act, motivated by Cross' inner demons and repressed emotions.

Jon Voight plays Jacob Samuelson, a paranoid religious zealot whose initial hostility to the settlers is inspired partly by women wearing pants, and the fact that some of them come from Missouri a state that drove the Mormons out. From this snowballs a fury of religion based intolerance that leads to the historic Mountain Meadows Massacre of, prophetically enough, September 11th. Director Christopher Cain YOUNG GUNS shows skill in creating period detail and a sense of inescapable dread, even amidst the wide open spaces of the beautiful mountainous locations. Deep shadows caused by the stark sunshine contrast with lots of tense, sweaty close ups of fear stricken and hateful faces. Terence Stamp shows up as the Church of Latter Day Saints leader Brigham Young, who gets involved in the decision to massacre the settlers a controversial detail, debated to this day. Offsetting the unease is a Romeo and Juliet style romance between one of Samuelson's handsome young sons Trent Ford and Emily Tamara Hope, a beautiful red headed maiden from the wagon train. A nice score of acoustic guitars and strings blends suspense and rustic breeziness. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

Joined by his immature and ever present roommate, Ed Nick Frost, Shaun excels at nothing except drinking pints of ale and watching television, which causes friction with his girlfriend, Liz Kate Ashfield. Before Shaun can save his relationship, however, he's got to fend off a horde of zombies that are slowly taking over the city. Armed with a cricket bat and a vague sense of direction, Shaun must rescue his friends and loved ones, and bring them to the only safe place he can think of the pub.Cowritten by Wright and Pegg, SHAUN OF THE DEAD succeeds remarkably well at combining droll British humor with good, old fashioned zombie cinema. While the movie is often hilariously amusing, it takes its horror pedigree seriously, offering up moments of genuine suspense, and even a healthy dose of gore. Pegg is oddly charming as the put upon lead slacker, and Frost is appropriately oafish, but the living dead themselves also take up a fair amount of screen time, shuffling and limping in their best Romero form. For lovers of zombie films and other chills and chuckles outings like EVIL DEAD II and DEAD ALIVE, SHAUN OF THE DEAD is an instant cult classic. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

Naturally this rogue will be redeemed, and the wheels go into motion when the Book of Peace, a hot property guarded by his good friend Proteus Joseph Fiennes and wanted by Eris, the evil goddess of chaos Michelle Pfeiffer, winds up stolen. Sinbad is sent on a journey to return the book to its rightful owner, which means sailing to the uncharted waters of Eris' kingdom, through oceans laden with monsters and dangers at every turn. Stowing away for the ride is Proteus' beautiful and spunky fiancée Marina Catherine Zeta Jones. Her presence allows for plenty of bickering and tortured romance in between the suspense and action packed set pieces, which involve among other things tentacled sea serpents, sharks, and ghostly sirens. The animation is stunning CGI effects merge with conventional 2D animation for ravishing, almost 3 D results. Pfeiffer has fun hamming to heights not seen since she played Cat Woman in BATMAN RETURNS, and adults will definitely relish the film's PG rating, which allows for a smidgeon more sensuality and violence than usual.

A French Canadian model, Danielle may be covering up a murder to protect her recently separated homicidal Siamese twin or maybe not. Plucky female reporter Grace Collier Jennifer Salt witnessed the killing from her apartment window but can't convince some clueless cops to investigate, so she hires a private detective Charles Durning to help her solve the case. Eventually she winds up at a mysterious sanitarium in the clutches of Danielle's creepy psychiatrist husband, Emil William Finley, and begins to unravel the shocking truth.Scary, funny, clever, and firmly rooted in a Hitchcockian universe, SISTERS set the tone for many of De Palma's future works, including DRESSED TO KILL and RAISING CAIN. Bernard Herrmann's score even recalls his work on PSYCHO only this time he's spruced things up with bizarre electronic effects. However, not all of De Palma's work pays debt to the master of suspense. An innovative use of split screen techniques to heighten the suspense is distinctly his own, as is a memorably twisted black and white hallucination sequence. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005.

Campbell Scott plays the Hitchcockian hero Joe Ross, an unassuming fall guy who has invented a mysterious process worth an unnamed, but presumably enormous, figure. Joe's share in the reward is uncertain, however, and his growing nervousness is subtly stoked by Jimmy Dell Steve Martin, a charming and apparently wealthy new friend. Suddenly Joe finds himself wondering who he can trust his boss, his friends, Jimmy, the FBI, or even the girl at work who has a crush on him Rebecca Pidgeon, speaking her husband's lines as only she can. The big con is always fun to watch from the inside, but Mamet knows it's even more fun when the audience is on the outside, left to imagine the con as all encompassing so that everyone and everything is suspect. The fine ensemble acting and terse, loaded dialogue add to the atmosphere of total suspense while the muted but rich production design produces a too believable longing in Joe, whose tiniest greedy qualm is still enough to spell disaster.

Keeping the film at a constantly tense level even though the characters are for the most part calm and logical, Haneke has mastered the art of controlling his audience. Viewers will find it hard to look away from the screen or even move in their seats as they sit frozen by the powerful performances of Isabelle Huppert and Anais Demoustier. The story follows a family of four who load up their supplies and retreat from Paris after a disaster leaves the water contaminated and livestock sickened, causing the government to put sanctions of food and fuel. Arriving at their country house, the family is attacked, their patriarch is murdered, and their supplies are stolen, leaving Anne Huppert, Eva Demoustier and the fragile young Ben Lucas Biscombe to wander the bleak countryside in a fervent search for justice and protection. Settling into a makeshift commune in a railroad station, the threesome struggle to make it through each day among chaos, prostitution and rape, competitive barter for food and water, and long episodes of their companions screaming or sobbing. Depressing and frightening, yet totally compelling, TIME OF THE WOLF is a myth with epic feeling. Most of the action takes place off screen as the protagonists react, and this method of storytelling infuses the film with natural suspense. The result is one great big deep and eerie shiver.

When Chris Desmond Harrington is late for a job interview, he drives speedily through a backwoods dirt road, and winds up in a head on collision with a group of teenage campers. As the cars are totalled, the group has no option but to trek through the woods and seek help. Stumbling upon a mysterious cabin, the unhappy campers soon realize they are in grave danger when they happen upon a mixture of grotesque oddities and body parts, soon followed by the return of the freakish inhabitants of the disgusting abode. The intensity builds as the inbred, kill crazy cabin dwellers go after Chris and the campers, leading to some grisly scenes in the dense woodland, and a series of brutal, bloody set pieces from director Rob Schmidt.WRONG TURN takes similar backwoods horror flicks like TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and THE HILLS HAVE EYES as its inspiration, providing visceral thrills aplenty, plus the requisite number of dumb teenage characters. Never lapsing into self parody, the film should appeal to older horror movie fans keen to revisit the movies of their youth, and younger fans eager to witness some modern day stalk and slash mayhem!JOY RIDE Director John Dahl knows his way around a thriller as few contemporary filmmakers do. He revitalized the film noir with his darkly witty films, RED ROCK WEST and THE LAST SEDUCTION. With JOY RIDE, Dahl streamlines the plot and ratchets up the tension. Two brothers, Lewis Paul Walker and Fuller Steve Zahn, are driving home cross country. Fuller bullies Lewis into using the CB radio Prehistoric Internet, Fuller calls it to play a mean spirited practical joke on a trucker, and it backfires horribly. The psychotic trucker comes after them, but they get away. Foolishly thinking they're out of danger, they pick up Venna Leelee Sobieski, the girl Lewis has been pining for, on the way home. The mysterious trucker, whom they know only by his CB handle, Rusty Nail, goes further than they could ever imagine to exact his revenge. Zahn is pitch perfect here, capturing both Fuller's charm and his stupid recklessness. Dahl builds the suspense beautifully, creating a real sense of being out on the highway in the middle of nowhere. The script, by Clay Tarver and J.J. Abrams, brings three strong characters to life with sharp, funny dialogue, fleshing out the bare bones of the plot.SWIMFAN This teen psychodrama directed by John Polson plays like a Generation Y version of FATAL ATTRACTION.

Balancing the film's sometimes conflicted ideological heft is Don Cheadle, who turns in a smartly even keeled performance as Samir Horn, a Sudanese born, Chicago raised former U.S. Army Special Forces operative. The action begins with a jarring prologue set in Sudan in 1978, where the young Samir witnesses the murder of his father by car bombing. Jumping swiftly to present day Yemen, Samir, in a dramatically ironic twist, is revealed as a mercenary selling explosives to Muslim extremists. But what is never completely clear throughout TRAITOR's numerous plot twists is just where Horn's allegiances truly lie is he an American spy infiltrating a Jihadist plot or a devout Muslim who has traded his sympathies with the West When an arms sale runs afoul, Samir is jailed in a Yemeni prison where he befriends Omar Said Taghmaoui, a ringleader of a terrorist organization that is being watched by the F.B.I. A bold prison break is hatched and the pair begins collaborating on a series of bombings throughout Europe. As Samir becomes embroiled in ever escalating terror plots, it becomes clear that he is duplicitously playing both sides at growing danger to himself and the lives of innocent people. Cut with a breathless, war reportage styled pace, TRAITOR is an action packed, suspense filled thriller whose seemingly equivocal ideological veneer can be summed up as In war, there are no winners.

When he's assigned to do a human interest sidebar on Frank Beechum Isaiah Washington, who's about to be executed for murder, Everett casually looks into the crime and quickly begins to see how shaky the evidence against Beechum is. As a director, Eastwood is a confident old hand here, and before he builds up the suspense and don't worry, he will, he takes the time to delve deep into the lives of his characters and explore the sharp contrast between the cynical Everett, who neglects his family for his job, and the circumspect Beechum, whose greatest torment is not the proximity of his own death but the trauma he's causing his loving wife and daughter. Eastwood gives a wonderfully rich performance, and his rapport with James Woods and Denis Leary, as his newspaper bosses, gives the movie a welcome comic jolt. But the scenes of Beechum's family dealing with his fate are where the movie's overwhelming power lies. Eastwood and his screenwriters pull no punches, and it's difficult to bear witness to the painful, simple truth expressed in these scenes. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

Set in Paris, the film stars Thandie Newton as a British ex pat whose art dealer husband is murdered while she's on vacation. Arriving home, she is met with an empty apartment, the French police, and an array of mysterious thugs who believe she knows where her husband stashed six million stolen dollars. Mark Wahlberg plays the handsome, beret sporting stranger who comes to her rescue, but who may not be what he seems. Special mention goes to Tim Robbins as a shadowy American agent, and Christine Boisson as the cool as nails police commandant trying to get to the bottom of the matter.Demme's direction pulls out all the stops here, with dizzying camerawork, experimental flash forwards and insane editing. It's a return to the Oscar winner's pre SILENCE OF THE LAMBS days, when his specialty were cameo studded, pop infused romantic comedy thrillers like MARRIED TO THE MOB and SOMETHING WILD. This time the cameos celebrate the 1960's French New Wave cinema with appearances by crooner Charles Aznavour, director Agnes Varda, and singing a mad tango ex Godard icon Anna Karina.

The film weaves three time frames together to tell its story. In the present, Michael Chambers Peter Gallagher returns to Austin, Texas, for his mother's wedding. In the past, he flees town to escape an outrageous gambling debt, ditching his girlfriend, Rachel Alison Elliott, in the process. And in the future, when Rachel's new boyfriend, Tommy William Fichtner, a dangerous club owner, catches them having an affair, Michael comes up with a plan for Tommy to rob the armored car he drives. Soderbergh handles his material so deftly that the viewer is left to question whether it is fate or personal responsibility that drove the characters to their ends. Cinematographer Elliot Davis shoots each section with a distinct look in order to further distinguish the film's three chapters, giving the film a visual aesthetic that is overtly stylish and moody. As the flighty Michael, Gallagher is an attractive and surprisingly comical presence. His interactions with the rest of the cast most notably, Elliott are at turns hysterical, dramatic, and suspenseful. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

Aided by fellow agent Griffin Dowd Colin Hanks and local detective Eric Box Billy Burke, Marsh tenaciously hunts for the elusive criminal in rainy Pacific Northwest settings, but as she closes in on her target, he deviously finds ways to get closer to her, all the while killing his victims in increasingly faster fashion.Clearly referencing a number of renowned thrillers most notably the SAW films, SEVEN, and SILENCE OF THE LAMBS UNTRACEABLE is far from an original cinematic exercise. However, Lane's steely, smart, and beautiful heroine ably anchors the film, which also benefits from its appropriately gloomy Portland, Oregon, backdrop. As with any effective suspense movie, the thrill is in the chase, with the cold blooded killer proving to be quite adept at disguising his real location, even as his disturbingly popular site remains prominently on the web hence the picture's title. Though not up to par with classics such as SEVEN and SILENCE, UNTRACEABLE is a well crafted genre film that easily eclipses other like minded fare, particularly FEARDOTCOM and the SAW sequels.

Director D.A. Pennebaker provides a personal, up close view of the two principals campaign managers James Carville and George Stephanopoulos as they try to stay on top of the exploding maelstrom of events from scandalous, personal smear tactics Gennifer Flowers to the rise of quixotic spoiler Ross Perot.

Though this point was ultimately missed by audiences of all political persuasions, the film nonetheless remains a masterpiece of the suspense genre. Jennifer Jones TENDER IS THE NIGHT stars as China Valdez, a Cuban woman whose brother is killed by the authorities she vows revenge, and joins up with a group of revolutionaries planning to take down the corrupt government. She falls in love with Tony Fenner John Garfield, GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT, an American expat who has also joined the people's revolution, with a plan to tunnel under a cemetery, blow up the car of an official, and then to mount a daring plot to destroy the infrastructure of the government in one fell swoop. The film moves towards its inexorable climax with Huston's characteristically deft storytelling, and both Garfield and Jones turn in excellent performances, with Jones' believable. Cuban accent especially noteworthy. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

Based on the controversial play by Edward Albee, this noir ish 1966 drama stars former real life couple Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, in what many critics consider to be their best performances. George Burton is a senior professor of history who has turned to alcohol to deal with his vituperative, vicious wife Martha Taylor, whose appetite for administering abuse knows no bounds. Invited to the couple's home for late night drinks are new professor Nick George Segal, and his naïve wife Honey Sandy Dennis, where over the course of the evening, the polished veneer of the hosts tarnishes grotesquely. The witty repartee of consummate sophisticate Martha degenerates into increasingly violent verbal abuse of both her husband and guests, while George's stoic façade crumbles both physically and emotionally. The horrified Nick and Honey initially come off as happier foils to the misery of the older married couple, but the guests are soon mirroring George and Martha in their mutual antagonism, giving voice to buried resentments and alcohol fueled revelations of repressed injuries.A director with a reputation for delivering intelligent, adult films, Nichols made a remarkably smooth and successful transition from stage to screen with this adaptation of Albee's already notorious play. Screenwriter Ernest Lehman kept the text of the play virtually intact, maintaining the intensity and sheer violence of the frankly foul language. The film shocked audiences, presenting them with a tortuous foray into a love hate relationship and, ultimately, mental illness. WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF received Academy Award nominations in virtually every category it was eligible for, winning five of them. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

Director Greg Jacobs's film is the tale of an unnamed young student Emily Blunt at a Northeastern College in need of a ride home to Delaware for Christmas break. Deciding to check the ride board, she finds a fellow student Ashton Holmes, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE going her way, though an impending blizzard promises to make their ride treacherous. Very early into their journey, he opts for a scenic route, only to be run off the road by a reckless driver. Stuck in the snow, with no cell phone service, the two are forced to get to know each other under the worst circumstances as they learn of the area's frightening history and try to save themselves from perishing in the cold.A sparkling addition to the realm of holiday themed fright films, WIND CHILL sidesteps gratuitous gore and murderous Santas in favor of chilling images of ghostly figures in a snowy landscape. Creating ample suspense with a story that unfolds largely within a car, director Gregory Jacobs CRIMINAL keeps the abrupt jolts to a minimum, relying on mood and a compounding sense of dread. Writers Joseph Gangemi and Steven Katz give us two characters realized through fine work by Blunt and Holmes whom we learn to care for as we watch them endure a realistically horrific situation. Claustrophobic, understated, and painted with a snowy glow of cool blue, this is a classy, spooky safe haven from gratuitous gore and hastily made remakes and sequels. Though the name connotes discomfort, WIND CHILL is a more likely to be a breath of fresh air for discriminating genre fans. Copyright C Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

The film opens as Joan Sidney, a secretary in the public defender's office, excitedly awaits the release of her thrice convicted criminal lover Eddie Fonda. The two try to build a life together, despite skepticism of Joan's sister and boss, and succeed for a while until destiny seems to take control. Eddie butts up against a society that refuses to give ex cons a second chance and tumbles back into contact with old gang connections. When he winds up back in jail this time with a death sentence he once again escapes only to commit a murder in the process and take Joan and their new baby with him as he wildly flees. The images are stark, as Lang darkly portrays the doomed couple's headlong descent through a cold society and the inescapable forces of fate. The suspense runs high and the cinematography is sweeping as the camera follows the couple from their ramshackle honeymoon to their desperate getaway and ultimately to their tragically climactic demise. Fritz Lang's obsession with fate and the moral dualism of society and its criminal underground as depicted in his earlier films, DESTINY, M, and FURY, is precisely expressed anew in this brutal and uncompromising film that paved the way for BONNIE AND CLYDE and NATURAL BORN KILLERS.
