Brazil - The Criterion Collection (3-Disc Boxed Set)
Roger Ashton-Griffiths, Jim Broadbent
Criterion, 2006
Weird, wacky, wonderful
+ A Remarkable Achievement
+ "1984" Meets "Brave New World"
There aren't too many movies like "Brazil" around. It's been assigned to the category "steampunk" but I'm not sure that is correct- it has some cyberpunk attributes as well. Anyway, the labels aren't too important. What matters is the clever 3-way mix of human story, technology fantasy/satire, and ...

Breakfast of Champions
Bruce Willis, Albert Finney
Walt Disney Video, 2000
A Fabulous piece of cinematic surrealism
+ Another of my favourite S.F. author
+ It is what it is
Certain of the films Bruce Willis has appeared in definitely cross the line between tongue-in-cheek and out and out surrealism, in the sense of Salvatore Dali or Heironymous Bosch. The most well known of these is certainly "The Fifth Element" - a wonderfully droll comedy of ultimate destruction! It ...

Deconstructing Harry
Caroline Aaron, Kirstie Alley
New Line Home Video, 1998
Exhilarating Depression
+ Writer's Block
+ Harry Block: "Six shrinks later, three wives down the line, and I still can't get my life together".
Woody Allen, for some, is an acquired taste. Many remember him for "Annie Hall," while others appreciate his darker side in "Crimes and Misdemeanors." I lean toward the latter, and therefore find this film among his very best. Brilliantly conceived, the jump cuts that create the sense of memory at ...

Ten Million Dollar Getaway
John Mahoney
Paramount, 1998
Moving and Epic Tragedy
With respect, the previous reviewer has totally misunderstood the point of this movie. It is not to be a shoot-em-up action flick but to portray the human dimensions of this robbery. The movie succeeds brilliantly in demonstrating how this robbery destroys the personal relationships between the ...
