Before Night Falls

Javier Bardem, Johnny Depp

New Line Home Video, 2001

revolution eating its own children, best since Gulag Archipelago.
This is a great film, that brings home the horror of totalitarianism - and its very human toll - from a unique perspective: suppressed gays and secondarily writers. I was utterly riveted by this, from the emergence of talent to the spiritual destruction of a human ...

good if a bit confusing and conventional...
Mainly it's a pleasure to watch the three central characters, Javier Bardem, Victoria Abril, and Victor Lopez. Especially Victoria Abril, she is absolutely gorgeous and talented, I can't get enough of this luscious lady! The film though is indeed a bit gimmicky ...

Collateral (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Dreamworks Video, 2004

Good
I watched this movie four times this week already, since it first premiered on DVD (saw it three times at the movie theaters). I have to admit ... I saw "HEAT" eight times at the movie theaters (my personal record), so you can say that I'm "biased" towards Michael ...

A MAN TORN IN TWO...........(or: J&J Burn Up the Screen)

Not Love Just Frenzy

Nancho Novo, Cayetana Guillén Cuervo

Image Entertainment, 2002

Hot Madrid club scene drama!
This film is sexy and kinetic from start to finish. It's hard to capture the real mood of the club scene. "Groove" managed to do it with the California Rave culture. "Not Love But Frenzy" hits the mark with the pansexual Madrid club scene. The actors are all very ...
