Cold Light of Day

Not As Bad As These Reviewers Tell You ...!
OK, having seen this movie I know first hand that this movie is not as bad as it is made out to be by ALL the reviewers here on Amazon. I won't go over the plot and the actors, as they have been dug deeply into in the previous reviews. Instead, I shall tell you it like it truly is.

The movie, 'Cold Light Of Day' is a good, decent action movie. You get pulled in and it never lets you go. Why? Well, you just don't know who to trust and what is around any given corner. Sure Henry C. is made out to be a "super spy" instead of the stockbroker he seemingly is, but that's OK, as it truly doesn't deter you from watching the movie. My guess is this movie was made a couple of years ago before his upcoming blockbuster 'Superman - Man Of Steel' comes to our screens. Sometimes these kind of direct-to-DVD movies sit on shelves for ages until one of the leads becomes famous. (Take, for instance, 'Cabin In The Woods' with Chris Hemsworth, filmed in 2009 and released this year due to...

(2.5 STARS) "Frantic in Madrid": OK Thriller from the Director of "JCVD"
Henry Cavill (Theseus of Tarsem Singh-directed epic "Immortals") plays a young American businessman Will, who has just arrived in Spain to meet his family. While out on a yacht with his father Martin (Bruce Willis), mother Laurie (Caroline Goodall), young brother Josh (Rafi Gavron) and Josh's fiancée Dara (Emma Hamilton), Will makes a mistake and one of them gets injured. To buy a medicine, Will goes on shore alone, but when Will comes back, he finds everyone on the boat has disappeared.

"The Cold Light of Day" starts promisingly, and then it slowly loses momentum through a whole heap of cliché. Without revealing too much about the story, the US-Spanish thriller is about an American on foreign soil, who gets involved in a web of intrigue.

The film's basic idea (a bit sounds like "Frantic") is not bad. The problem is its poor execution. In short, the film has no style. Characters, storytelling, acting and action set-pieces - everything in the film is...

Wonderful!
I saw this movie at the theater and was waiting on it to come out on DVD. Love the action and actors.

Citadel [Blu-ray]

An Atmospheric Irish Chiller That Creates A Creepy Mood And Has A Stellar Lead Performance
There are a lot of really great things going for the low-budget indie shocker "Citadel." This Irish film starts out strong, boasts a solid lead performance, and paints a harrowing portrait of urban decay. While the picture is very successful at creating a creepy vibe which it sustains throughout, I'm not sure that the mythology or storytelling is quite as strong as its atmosphere. In the end, I enjoyed much of the movie without really ever buying into its premise fully. And although the plot threads are deadly serious, I found some of the developments rather amusing as opposed to horrifying. In the end, I think "Citadel" is worth a look but I wanted its payoff and its explanations to be better realized. It's certainly not a bad movie, I just don't think it makes much sense in the grand scheme of things.

As I said, I really invested into the opening of the film. As a young couple is moving from a dilapidated building, a gang of street thugs happens upon the pregnant...

No logical explanation
I am assuming this movie is saturated with metaphors (or perhaps I am giving the writers to much credit), regardless, for the most part the nuances are so vague that I cannot come to any conclusion. The acting and cinematography was excellent. The scenery had such a deep feeling of misery, hopelessness and pain that I started to feel it myself. I got a sense of release for the father's agoraphobia in the end, but with no clear answers as to how the boy fit into it. It was such an abrupt ending that I felt cheated. I am seeing a trend with movies being overly subtle in their message for the sake of "artsiness", this is a disservice to most movie goers and in the end you end up with a piece that essentially means nothing to anyone but the creators themselves.

Inspired Main Performance Not Enough To Save This CITADEL
Another week, another horror release. Isn't that the way it seems these days? Why, every time you turn around, some production company is throwing good money into some low-budget, no-budget scare-fest, all to make a buck. I welcome the additions to my film library only so long as these pictures still come assembled with a coherent story, reasonably intelligent characters (a tough find in horror), and modest quality writing. No, horror movies don't have to be perfect. They simply need establish a premise and then deliver on any promises made along the way.

To that end, CITADEL settles comfortably into a middle-ground and goes nowhere fast. Yes, it's atmospheric. Sure, it's creepy. Okay, it looks so dystopian.

But is that all ya got?

Brides of Sodom

brides of sodom
This movie has some of the guys from my favorite show called the lair.I will enjoyed this movie especially newcomer David Taylor

Standard Vampire Movie witha twist
I have to admit I went in not expecting much out this movie considering its vampire flight
For a plat it was ok not as tight as it should have been, But over not a bad movie plenty of eye candy to make up for the lack of
of a weak script over all I give it a generous 3 stars

Utter Rubbish
This is tripe. No story, poor cheap soft core porn that failed to get any sort of attention on any level.

Heaven's Door

A warm fuzzy Movie.
Great Family movie that is for the family. I would suggest it to anyone who wants a movie with out all the garbage hollywood puts out!

Great Movie!
This is a great movie which I thought reminds you that you must have faith to receive really true miracles. I would recommend it

This is a great movie for family watching. It's about those who believe in miracles and the turning point of those who don't. Great for children and Christians. I recommended it for all.

Bargain 1914

First glimpse of Hart's famous good/bad man persona
GRAPEVINE VIDEO is one of best indie outfits specializing in silent era films and early talkies. Unlike the bargain bin guys that use generic music, Grapevine silent dubs include scores that match on-screen action. Their catalog of over 500 very rare titles can be seen online.

.
The screen career of cinema's original cowboy star, William S. Hart began with his portrayal of Messala in a 1907 short version of BEN HUR. Reginald Barker's THE BARGAIN, Hart's first feature-length photoplay, is scripted in part by Thomas Ince, who died tragically in 1924 after a visit to W.R. Hearst's yacht. There's speculation to this day whether Ince succumbed to severe indigestion or was victim of a stray Hearst bullet meant for Charlie Chaplin.

In "The Bargain," Hart is 'Two-Gun' Jim Stokes, a wounded stagecoach robber who recovers at the shack of prospector Phil Brent (Sherry), where he meets and falls in love with Brent's daughter. After marrying Nell (Williams), Jim's...

Flight

A Contemplative Adult Drama About Addiction Featuring One Of Denzel Washington's Most Complex Performances
I know that some viewers might feel like there is a bit of a bait-and-switch when sitting down to watch the very adult drama "Flight." I was primed to see a movie about a harrowing plane crash. And indeed, this initiating sequence is staged with tremendous suspense and gut wrenching detail. It may be one of the more memorable scenes you are likely to see this year. But "Flight" is not really about this crash. It is, instead, a character study about addiction, about faith, and about taking responsibility. The heroic pilot that acted on that day is none other than Denzel Washington. But this is no ordinary hero, this is a mess of a man who fuels his life with drugs and drink. He is estranged from his family, defying propriety, and thinks that the rules don't apply to him. He's a great pilot, to be sure, that saved many souls. But he was also completely out of control when he did so. That is the moral dilemma at the heart of the movie. He is a hero. His bad acts did not...

One of the best films I've ever seen
Now, when I first saw this movie I had no idea what it was about. I only knew that it had a tremendous Oscar-winning actor playing the role of a pilot. I had no idea I was in for such a wild ride. I will point out first and foremost that this is a very well put together piece of cinema. The acting, pacing, cinematography, character development is nothing short of top-notch. That being said, I can understand how marketing and trailers could have caused many people to become mislead to what the film would be covering as many of the negative reviewers seemed to have missed the point. This movie was about a plane crash in the way that The Shawshank Redemption was about escaping prison. Yes, those are both the fundamental plot points but they're more like a side effect of the central themes. (Not to say that the crash scene in Flight wasn't one of the most intense scenes I'd seen in years or that the prison escape scene in Shawshank didn't give me an all encompassing feeling of joy). But...

deep, deep movie
this movie shows how tragically and deeply alcohol abuse can ruin lives that otherwise have such promise....and Denzel always delivers....
