Kill Bill vol. 1 — he said, she said — movie review — screener! — +japanese-cut dvd!

WHY CAN’T WE BE FRIENDS?
HE SAID: Kill Bill Vol. 1 is Quentin Tarantino’s loveletter to exploitation, grindhouse, and overall bad-taste cinema. He references absolutely everything he loves: De Palma, Switchblade Sisters, Shaw Brothers films (it actually opens with the shaw scope logo), Japanese samurai splatter, Italian Giallos, Master of the Flying Guillotine, etc, [...]

The Rundown — he said, she said — movie review — screener!

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   September 23, 2003   ⋅   Comment [1]

HE-SAID: The Rundown was the most fun I’ve had with an action film since Pirates, and it was one of the very few I’d gladly watch again. Those of you that had a hard time comprehending the storyline of

Cold Creek Manor — he said, she said — movie review — screener!

DENNIS QUAID WILL FIRE HIS AGENT
SHE SAID: Slooooooooooow.. and not in a good ‘le French Cinema’ way. Camerawork likened to a kid messing around with the ‘slow motion/skip frame’ button. Editing is plain, redundant and predictable. Same goes for the musical score. So many opportunities to create intriguing tangents, but chooses the unforgivable [...]

Once Upon a Time in Mexico — he said, she said — movie review — screener!

HE SAID: Kris and I just got back from the press screening and all I can say is, ‘whoa!’ Robert Rodriguez has proved he can still show the adults just as good a time as he shows the kids. Once Upon a Time in Mexico is a rare film these days as it is [...]

Identity is the story of ten people who get caught up in a desert storm, and are forced to seek shelter at a roadside hotel until the storm passes. As the night progresses the people get knocked off one by one. In typical Agatha Christie fashion you have absolutely no idea who the killer [...]

Freddy vs. Jason — movie review

by Chris   ⋅   August 20, 2003   ⋅   Comment [1]

WHO’S THE BETTER BAD GUY? It’s finally here. Freddy Vs. Jason. We can settle those playground arguments of who’s a better bad guy — Freddy? Jason? I’m a fan of both, though I’d have to say Freddy’s disappointed me on much less an occasion. I saw my first Nightmare on Elm Street when I [...]

Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle of Life — he said, she said — movie review

by Chris and Kris   ⋅   July 26, 2003   ⋅   Comment [1]

Hi, Chris here, with my lovely fiancé, Kris. We just got back from Tomb Raider 2, and had quite differing opinions on the film. We thought it would be fun to present both the guy’s opinion and the girl’s since the response to the film differed so much.
HE SAID: Ah, Lara Croft, Tomb Raider. [...]

Butterfly Effect — he said, she said — movie review — screener!

LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES
SHE-SAID: What if every time you blundered or struggled, you could turn back time– no wait, wait a minute. That’s too corny. What if every negative moment your subconscious chose to suppress was merely an ephemeral escape into what deserved to be destiny? What if this said destiny altered the lives [...]
