Read on for crazy lovers, crazy popes and crazy morticians. However, its mixture of cardinal comedy and papal drama is a little discordant. Likewise, the assembled clergymen, pencilling in their ballots, are shot like schoolkids taking a test. Theyre easily distracted, bored, and sneak looks at each others slips of paper. This results in a film which isnt entirely damned, but offers little salvation. Rating: 2 out of 5
Those sequences that had youngsters everywhere watching through their fingers, or hiding behind a cushion for protection. The disembodied leg floating to the bottom of the ocean floor? The severed fishermans head, added after early test screenings to provoke one more scream? For me, though, the death of shark hunter Quint is the most enduringly horrible moment inJaws. Its a spectacularly horrible sequence, and one that had me open-mouthed with disbelief as a youth....

Released back in 1997,Mimicwas a somewhat bitter induction into Hollywood filmmaking for director Guillermo del Toro. I always said I needed it, like making amends with myself [Chuckles]. And those character moments really change the atmosphere and pace of the film. It seemed to be rushing through ideas, rather giving them a little chance, you know? How much of a hand did you have in designing those did you have back in 1997?...
Heres Glens review of The Conspirator… Despite the faults listed, I really quite enjoyed the film overall. Landscape shots hold up well particularly early on in the film, when it opens on a battlefield. This scene is among the best Ive seen on the format this year. They all focus on a different aspect of the films story and provide some welcome historical context. One for the hardcore fans only, Id say....
Well, weve taken everything from the previous seasons and improved on them. What is George Lucas involvement withThe Clone Wars? Ad content continues below Most stories come straight from George. He can attack these stories onThe Clone Warsin a way that he couldnt on film. We meet once a year and go over all the ideas for the upcoming season.

Barely creating a financial ripple at the box-office in 1986,Manhunterhas since become regarded as a cult classic. But Michael Manns earlier film, his personal take on the 1980 novelRed Dragon,stood in stark contrast. By turns quiet and ferocious, the tone and pace ofManhunteris exemplified in Brian Coxs understated turn as Hannibal. His version of the caged sociopath is cool and wryly intelligent, cunning and frighteningly intuitive. Because, basically [producer] Dino De Laurentiis went bust and couldnt afford to make any more prints....

Luke Goss, 50 Cent and Val Kilmer all star in the straight-to-DVD action flick, Blood Out. Heres Stus review… WatchingBlood Outwas a purely selfless act on my behalf. I watched it so you wouldnt have to. Unless you like your straight-to-DVD action really hammy, then its not a film that can be easily recommended. Believe me, youll hear the phrase blood in, blood out a few times in this film.)...

Action cinema appears to have lost its way a bit. Here are our suggestions for setting it back on the right course… Both films, though, are the tip of a proverbial iceberg. Because action cinema has a bit of an identity crisis. What trend should it follow? What kind of action movies should be made? What kind of action do people want to see? Here are some of our answers to those questions…...
Jason Statham hunts down a topless Aidan Gillen in the Brit-cop thriller, Blitz. But how does it fare? Despite enjoyingBlitzas much as I did, I did have a few problems with it. I also feel the failure to includeBody CountsCop Killerlets the film down. Film: you could rent or buyBlitzatBlockbuster.co.uk. Rating: 3 out of 5
