![]() Night Train $14.98 This film is a perfect example of how to make a very effective and suspenseful film with a low budget. One location, few actors and great script. The interaction between the different characters is great. Danny Glover is perfect as the aging train conductor who sees the chance to get a break in life. Only thing that disturbed me was the bad CGI. ![]() In a Dark Place $14.98 I have seen many versions of Henry James' Turn of the Screw, and I have to say this is the worst. The acting is terrible and reminiscent of a Lifetime movie The director seems to miss the entire point of the original story, he takes away any hint of a spooky ambiance and replaces it with a poor allegory for child abuse, which didn't really work. In the special features the director mentioned that he never read the story and didn't care to, perhaps he should ha rethought that. If you want to see a good, spooky version of this story I recommend watching The Innocents or even The Haunting of Helen Walker. stay away from this one. ![]() L' Idole $28.98 This movie is a really good example of French Art House. It is also a very interesting "cross cultural" subject because it involves a very traditional old Chinese within a French background and with an Australian woman! There is something about this type of French movie that nobody else can make. It is erotic without being pornographic. It is slightly seedy, and yet it is not. The characters are all faulty in some way or another, and the interaction is very dramatic. It is all held together by the inscrutable Chinaman, who speaks fluent French and is the glue to the entire piece. It is probably not for everybody, because if you can't appreciate the characterisations and the underlying meaning of all that is going on, then the apparent slow pace might seem boring. I have watched it 5 times now, and i get something more from it each time. ![]() LeeLee Sobieski Joyride 4x6 Photo $3.99 Beautiful photograph. Printed on photographic paper from an actual negative.
