Reds
Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton
Paramount, 1998
Magnificent achievement
+ yes
+ One of few
While this is ostensibly about the Russian Revolution, it is really about unbounded youthful enthusiasm and the ultimate brick wall it hits when experience sets in. Ignorance, youth and over-confidence are a lethal combination. Made shortly after the similar youthful outburts of the 1960s, the ...

Sony Pictures, 2000
Running with Fate to the Euro-beat; Boom Chucka Boom Chucka...
+ great movie
+ Really good Foreign film
It's amazing what you'll buy when retailers sell DVDs for four bucks. The cool thing is that you can completely trash your expectations. Heck, I couldn't rent it twice at blockbuster for this money. Needless to say, I jumped in with both feet and landed safely into a film I thought was pretty ...

Pinero
Benjamin Bratt, Giancarlo Esposito
Miramax, 2002
Benjamin Bratt
Benjamin Bratt the beautiful man from Law and Order held his own in this epic work of his portrayal of the life of the dead poet but not forgotten. Pinero is a movie every artist must see. This man was a "street disciple" words were like water to him or perhaps dope, but in any case check out the ...

1900
Robert De Niro
Paramount Home Video, 1998
One of my favourite stories ever
+ Engrossing and captivating left-wing political soap opera
+ A mostly triumphant tribute to uptopian, leftist ideals
I saw 1900 the first time in 1984. It was a heavily censored version in a back-street cinema in Johannesburg, South Africa - hidden away from the authorities. Now, the mid-eighties have been called "South Africa's deranged years" by some. There were armed cars, guns, revolt and suffering all ...

The Matrix - Standard Collector's Edition
Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne
Warner Home Video, 1999
Action movie disguised as science-fiction delivers the goods
+ What a price!!
+ ACTION MEETS INTELLIGENCE
Beginning this review I was writing the film's title and ended up with "The Mainstream" (100% accident) which pretty much sums up the premise of The Matrix franchise. The Matrix is good in the fact that it takes complex science-fiction from previous 1990s films that didn't quite meet mainstream ...
