Title=Dark Water
Score=6
Summary=Good although if you’ve seen the original it’s just not as good. Great performance from Connelly and good support. Excellent location and sets, but the second half just does everything too big for this slower paced horror\thriller. Not a great remake, but a good movie on it’s own.

Take George Clooney for a … [Read More]
So the rumour over at Comic Book Movie just now is that there are to be four villians in the new Spiderman film. Four? Isn’t that a bit too much and a bit too crowded for a single movie? We’ve already seen how too many villians can drown a movie … [Read More]
Back in the middle of June I put up a post wondering about what went wrong on the marketing end of Cinderella Man. The fact of the matter is that Cinderella Man is a terrific film with an Oscar winning Lead Actor, an Oscar winning Lead Actress and an Oscar … [Read More]
