 | | Quarantine | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | |  | Quarantine - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/6/2009 5:25 PM | |
With innovation such a scarce commodity, Hollywood should really stop remaking foreign films. Aside from their almost universal track record for underachieving, there is something so basic about experiencing a movie in its native tongue that no translation (or poorly scripted dubbing) can match. This past August, the sensational Spanish thriller [REC] -- as in the "record" button on a video camera -- caused an uproar in New Zealand when one beleaguered audience member soiled themselves during a screening. Naturally, Tinseltown already had its version -- relabeled Quarantine -- ready to jump on such publicity. As found footage/first person POV style shockers go, its pretty good. You can leave your adult diapers at home, however. read the full review | |

Israeli-born writer/director Rod Lurie (The Contender) delivers a sense of verit to a taut political thriller that has all the earmarks of having been based on the real case that inspired it -- the purposeful exposure of Valerie Plame Wilson's covert identity as a CIA Operations Officer by the Bush-Cheney administration. That tragic and possibly treasonous "get-even" act by the 2003 White House provides Lurie's fictional tale an unequivocal basis of credibility. read the full review | |

 | | Perfect Stranger (Blu-ray) | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | | | Perfect Stranger - DVD Review By: J.D. McNamara - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 8/23/2007 8:09 PM | | Laughter is defined as an expression of merriment and amusement, and as such is usually a telltale sign of entertainment. If Perfect Stranger is anything (it certainly is NOT a stylish psychological thriller) it is proof that within the realm of film, laughter does not always indicate entertainment. Looking back on this horrible mess of a movie a day after watching it, I can only seem to recall how unintentionally funny it was. By the time the film starts to unravel itself, it's far more entertaining to ridicule the ridiculous twists and turns of the plot than to actually care about who did it and why. In the end, it's much more fulfilling to simply let out a hearty laugh rather than gawking open-mouthed at the screen and asking yourself, "why did I just watch that'" read the full review | |
