The Fly
David Cronenberg’s most recent forays into mainstream cinema have produced tremendous results. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who can argue thatEastern Promises and A History of Violence are bad films. It’s when you go back to the nineties and eighties, Cronenberg’s stuff becomes a little more inaccessible, but it’s still just as brilliant. The Fly follows Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), an intensely brilliant scientist that lacks a little... Read More
Heaven
Heaven is the first installment of a heaven/hell/purgatory trilogy (co-written by Krzysztof Piesiewicz) planned by the late, Oscar-nominated Krzysztof Kieslowski. Unfortunately, Kieslowsky died before the last two scripts were finished. It’s a damn shame too, Heaven is a spellbinding and powerful piece that will enchant you. The film is directed by Tom Tykwer, the wicked talented guy who brought us Run Lola Run. It takes place in Italy, where a woman named Philippa... Read More
Mulholland Dr.
From the second Mulholland Dr. starts, you’ll be enraptured with it. It’s clearly a masterpiece from the beginning, and forces you to explore yourself in order to find it’s meaning. Despite some people calling Eraserhead David Lynch’s masterpiece, this is it. After a brutal car accident in Los Angeles, California, Rita (Laura Harring) is the sole survivor but suffers mass amnesia. Wandering into a strangers apartment downtown, her story strangely intertwines... Read More
Notes from Underground
Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novella Notes from the Underground starts: ‘I am sick man… I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my liver is diseased.’ It’s with these words that Gary Walkow stars his film adaptation of this book. With such disturbing words, you’d think the film would still have some of the power that the book did, but it doesn’t. The poster to the right, is not the actual movie poster, the real one is impossible... Read More
Inland Empire
Like all of David Lynch’s movies, Inland Empire boasts that patented nightmarish/dreamlike quality that we’ve come to expect from him. This is Lynch’s last feature film to date, and currently has nothing in production. When Lynch announced that he was making a new film, starring Laura Dern, shot only on a digital camera, all he said was that it’s ‘about a woman in trouble.’ I think it’s fairly safe to say that they statement describes...

High School Musical 3
On my About page, I invite all my readers to submit guest reviews, if they have the desire. Cindy, from www.fordpride.blogspot.com submitted a review for High School Musical 3, which is perfect, because I would never watch that movie. So here’s to bringing some diversity to Bitchin’ Film Reviews. Not knowing what would happen in the third installment of Disney’s highly acclaimed (by me) High School Musical series, HSM3: Senior Year proved to be exciting,... Read More
Pride and Glory
The buzz around Pride and Glory was pretty bad after New Line decided to push the film’s release date back from March 14th this year. People assumed the movie was crap, that the studio was embarrassed of it. I believed these rumors. I did. Even after I read Colin Farrell’s attempt to shed more light on the situation. He had this to say about it all: “There’s this rumor going around that [Pride and Glory has been bumped] because it’s a mess... Read More
