Keep The Lights On For This Horror-Lover’s Delight.

admin — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Horror film buffs can’t seem to get enough of a good scare. Unfortunately, many horror movies tend to use tired “gotcha” moments and plots that don’t keep the viewer very involved. Rather than relying on gore or camera trickery, Seconds, starring Rock Hudson, focuses on the descent of a man who has lost his way in life and the terrible lengths a company is willing to go to in order to help him start over.

Seconds is a black and white film and has a very Twilight Zone kind of feel to it.I was looking for more information and found it here. Rock Hudson, known mostly for his roles in romantic movies, does an amazing job of acting. The mood and tenor of the film are very film noir, and there is even some nudity, which was quite startling for the time.

The ending, however, has been called one of the most depressing and/or horrifying in all of moviedom. Be sure to keep the lights on, and keep an open mind to get the full shock of all that Seconds has to offer.

What’s Out Now

admin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000

There are a lot of great new releases on satellite and at the box office and maybe a few you haven’t even heard of. If you like movies as much as we do you’re going to love our top three picks for what to pick up or check out this weekend:
30 Minutes or Less: This slapstick style comedy revolves around the idea of a pizza man turned bomber, by force. It’s hilarious in its own right but don’t expect groundbreaking television – it’s just a silly movie.
Cars 2: The kid in you will really enjoy this animated follow up to the Pixar classic but don’t get too excited. Although it’s well done and has many of the same characters it just doesn’t have the spark of the original.
The Change Up: Ryan Reynolds gives us another great performance opposite Jason Bateman in this rude 21st century comedy. It’s not the most original premise in the world but it’s funny and it’s great for a date night, too. Just don’t watch it with your mom.

Do You Want A Movie That Makes You Think?

admin — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Few movies stir your thoughts even as they break your heart, but Never Let Me Go manages to do just this”and in the most poignantly understated of ways. In combining the ethical dilemmas of speculative fiction with the bittersweet beauty of star-crossed love, director Mark Romanek successfully translates to the screen the qualities that make Kazuo Ishiguro-s novel unforgettable.

This is a movie that deals with human cloning, but it is not a movie about human cloning. Romanek glosses over the gritty details, focusing instead on the broader issues at stake. Is it ever permissible to use one-s fellow humans? Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? What constitutes humanity? As our understanding of science improves, such questions become more and more pressing, and Never Let Me Go does not shy away from exploring them.

What makes this movie timeless, though, is its treatment even more fundamental issues. Never Let Me Go ends with its main character wondering whether her life is so different from that of a “normal’ person. It is an odd moment; one-s knee-jerk reaction is to see her life as senseless and barren. A moment-s reflection, however, reveals that the questions that preoccupy her”whether life has meaning, and if so, what makes it meaningful”are the same ones that have forever troubled humanity. It is for this reason, if for no other, that Never Let Me Go is worth watching.

Telling the authorities what he saw, puts his brother-s life in jeopardy. Rod Steiger plays Malloy-s brother, Charley Malloy.

The film also stars Eva Marie Saint who plays Brando-s love interest, Edie Doyle, and is the sister of the young man whom Terry saw murdered. Karl Malden rounds off the cast. He plays, Father Barry who gets Brando to listen to his conscious and compels him to tell the truth, which eventually causes the life of his brother and brings down his boss.
