Apocalypse Now Redux
One of cinema's masterpieces has returned to the big screen. With Apocalypse Now Redux, Francis Ford Coppola finally offers his vision of the horror of war in its entirety, sublimating the original version with its missing links.
Badlands
Made in 1973, Badlands is the first film of Terrence Malick, director of The Thin Red Line. The film retraces the bloody odyssey of a lost young couple in the heart of America's Midwest. Remind you of anything? We'll get to that part later.
Being John Malkovich
You have to see it to believe it. Since seeing it, I have kept my eyes peeled for that 7 1/2 floor of a building with a hidden door leading to the secret portal that will take me inside John Malkovich. Pipedream? Yes, but this surrealist movie by Spike Jonze makes it all seem possible.
Night of the Living Dead
When George Romero shot a little black and white film called Night of the Living Dead back in 1968, little did he know that his film would become an instant classic and launch one of the most popular subgenres of modern cinema.
Rollerball
Made in 1975, Rollerball, beneath its exterior of a spectacular action film, denounces a voyeuristic society's fascination for violence and supports the assertion of the individual facing an excessive capitalist system.
Sleepy Hollow
In a nutshell, delightfully appalling. Heads roll and roll and roll, bloodying the winter snow in Tim Burton’s latest, a highly adapted adaption of Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. He does not hesitate in delivering the macabre, gothic, creepy, bloody, surreal, and of course, funny.
Sunset Boulevard
Billy Wilder's darkly comic film about the corruption of Hollywood plays on genre conventions of its day to make it a truly progressive and classic American film.
The Thin Red Line
Adaptation of a James Jones's novel, The Thin Red Line is a deep film with a soul, a visual poem using war as a background to enlighten the introspection of Man facing lost paradises and death.
The Third Man
Rightly considered a classic of the seventh art, The Third Man is a visual masterpiece that profits from a flamboyant cast, an intriguing story both emotionally and historically as well as a haunting musical score.
