DVD : All Over Me [1997]
I don't think that I would have many positive things to say about this film if it wasn't for Leisha Hailey's outstanding performance (Despite her being made to suffer with a terrible, undeserving script). I did question why such an extraordinary actress was thrown into this melodrama, perhaps to promote her band "The Murmurs" and star in bigger projects such as "The L Word"? Either way, the film seriously does not flatter Hailey's brilliance as an actress.
As for most of the rest of the film, I found utterly pointless. There is absolutely no doubt that director Alex Sichel is forcing the "drugs and drink are bad" message onto the audience, unlike more balanced films such as "Thirteen" or "Sweet Sixteen". Perhaps the most accurate portrayal ... Read More:

DVD : When The Bough Breaks [1993]
Writer/director Michael Cohn's thriller was clearly inspired by The Silence of the Lambs, with a heroine like Jodie Foster's Clarice Starling, an outsider brought in to help an established team and a woman intelligent but an introverted geek. She is even given two scenes where she is in pursuit of someone in darkened spaces. Cohn also uses bits from Psycho, but audiences can't object to these parallels when his film is so well directed. This is one of those glorious occasions when we are lucky the writer is also the director, since the fascinating narrative is what keeps us intrigued, and even Cohn's use of music is admirably spare. The title of course refers to the children's lullaby Rock a Bye Baby which is appropriate since the story involves a ... Read More:

DVD : The Last Days of Disco
I think this is a very undervalued and under-rated film. It's about two publishing assistants in the early 80s and how they fare at work, at home (they live together), in love and when they go out - to The Club. And they go out a lot!

I challenge any woman who watches this film not to see something that rings true from your late teens/early twenties - the girlfriend who has their sights on your man, the backstabber at work, the nightmare flatmate, the men that you can't help being attracted to even though you know they're no good! Fabulous.

This is intended to be a silly titilating horror movie. But it is so pathetic as to be nothing but annoying. There is no humour, suspense or surprises. There is no worthwhile storyline or character development and even the gore is undestated and dull. There is a little gratuitous female nudity if that is what you are looking for.

I do enjoy the occassionly cheap horror flick, so don't misunderstand me. Give me Toxic Avenger over this drivel every time.
