Richard reviews The Constant Gardener

Title=The Constant Gardener Score=6 Summary=Strong story with a great ending and a huge agenda. Unfortunately there's style overload and both the agenda and the moral ending could have been toned down slightly to make for a much better movie. It also seriously needs an injection of pace to retain the audience attention. Weisz is superb in this, with Huston firing in another superb performance as a close second. A beautiful view of Africa in some of the scenes.

Richard reviews Initial D (Tau man chi D)

Title=Initial D on DVD Score=5 Summary=A good movie that really centres around the drift racing scenes which are superbly filmed and put together, there's also great use made of the DTS track during the racing. The extras aren't that strong and more around the cars and the racing would have been much better, and in English too.

Richard reviews Jimi Hendrix: Deluxe Edition on DVD

Title=Jimi Hendrix: Deluxe Edition Score=7 Summary=A good purchase for the performances, and in particular the acoustic performance, but add the interviews and the making of featurette, and you have a classic DVD for the fan. If you're neither a fan of Hendrix or the guitar, then this is definitely not for you.

Richard reviews Wolf Creek

Title=Wolf Creek Score=8 Summary=True horror, suspense and terror unflinchingly shown onscreen. Some rough dialogue early on can jar you out of the movie, but this has some truly terrifying moments. Natural performances, with a stunning turn from the actor playing the psychopath. The "true story" aspect really does hurt the movie and causes more problems at the end, if this had been left out the movie would have scored higher.
