A charming Egyptologist on the trail of ancient secrets and dangerous mysteries. A synopsis where you can only trust the conjunction, and Franklin J. Schaffner didn’t direct the film; he embalmed it, and not even the romantic subplot with Ahmed Dracula can save it (as one critic aptly noted, Langella had the charm of…

The psychological horror soon turns surreal, with the imprisoned psychopath murdering through others. He uses dreams and hypnosis to do this. Danny may be a good guy, but he's a moron, so when he spots Laura, the Sleeping Beauty, in the hospital and hears that she's about to become an experimental subject, he decides…

There's a monster killing in the city, and the first massacres convinced me that a xenomorph had jumped in. Too bad they showed its form afterwards. It had a leaky tongue instead of a second set of jaws, but otherwise the inspiration, including the slime, was clear, and I quite like it. Also, there's one nice…

Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patelliére are two French dudes working on the classics of Alexandre Dumas classics, and after The Three Musketeers, they excel again!

The moment it tips into the B-movie style of Verhoeven's Hollow Man, one realizes how editing down…

I understand that this is a very dated documentary, and I certainly didn’t expect it to break new ground by interviewing a surviving alien from the Roswell crash and taking him to a nearby Mandalay Bay for a game of blackjack. However, the informational value of this investigative work approaches zero, and the…

So this is how it was. Poor Oswald. Morning hangovers, a lack of discipline, hot goods stuffed in lockers, disrespect for authority, and now the suppressed discovery of a dangerous pile of cash with a mysterious past. These boys from the border patrol should have a patch on their jackets that reads "U.S. Bordelo…

You might say that Clint is a god of vengeance here, but he approaches it more from the bottom up. Without scruples, he kills anyone who displeases him; anything under fifty with a vagina and not lying in the local graveyard is mercilessly taken advantage of, and he skillfully manipulates cowardly citizens, even…

When a major marijuana producer plans to grab the money and bail, he must expect more than one Snatch. Occasionally, some conversations included a few more words than necessary, and even with the not-so-remarkable musical background, it doesn’t overflow with energy. However, Ritchie has significantly approached his…
