My Rating:

My Review: (Japanese - Akahige) subtitled in english. Produced in 1965, this black and white movie tells the story of a brash young intern who is apprenticed to a seasoned veteran at a backwater free clinic. This movie, directed by the legendary Akira Kurosawa, starring ToshirŸ Mifune and Yuzo Kayama, is an incredible piece of work. The story was absolutely riveting. Believable, moving, truthful and honest. The acting was excellent, the message was sterling, the telling worthy of applause.

Alexander Nevsky

Director: Sergei M. Eisenstein, Dmitri Vasilyev
Starring: Nikolai Cherkasov, Nikolai Okhlopkov, Andrei Abrikosov, Dmitri Orlov, Vasili Novikov
Genre: Art House & International
Studio: Image Entertainment Release date: 1939 Rated: NR
Language (Country): Russian (Soviet Union)
Summary: Sergei Eisenstein's landmark tale of Russia thwarting the German invasion of the 13th century was wildly popular and quite intentional, given the prevailing Nazi geopolitical advancement and destruction at the time. It can still be viewed as a masterful use of imagery and music, with the Battle on the Ice sequence as the obvious highlight. Unfortunately, the rest of the film pales in comparison. A great score by Prokofiev was effectively integrated by the Russian filmmaker, but stands on its own merit as well. "--Bill Desowitz"

My Review: This is one serious piece of propaganda. Made in the Soviet Union during the height of Stalin's reign, this film was directed by one of the greats (Sergei Eisenstein). Produced as a warning to the Third Reich, parts of this film were brilliant despite the narrow confines the director was forced to work within. This movie is supposed to be about Alexander Nevksy defending Russia from an invading Teutonic army. In truth it's actually a heavy duty propaganda film. It portrays the Teutonic Knights (Read German officers) as evil conquerors. In one scene a leader of the Teutonic Knights is shown throwing defenseless (naked) and crying children into a fire! The Russians are portrayed in larger than life idealized roles. In some scenes the German troops are played by children against the Russian actors in order to make the Germans seem small and frail in comparison. In a romantic? sub-plot the Russian man (two suitors vie for the same maiden) who displays the greatest valor in combat, is promised to a beautiful virgin. The invaders are depicted as being led by a holier-than-thou group of priests. Some of the battle scenes are remarkable given the resources available to the director. There was a lot of large scale combat with numerous extras. The final battle takes place on a frozen Russian lake, and a large portion of the invading army drowns to death amongst flailing bodies, thrashing horses, and bobbing chunks of broken ice. The musical score by Sergei Prokofiev was excellent. The acting was stage like and forced at times. The costumes were great. The sets were excellent, and the locations great. Unfortunately all of the long camera shots were poorly framed, and we were often left wondering what we were looking at as an army marches ant like way off in the distance. A great movie diminished only by a poor transfer, some ill advised camera shots and a poor translation.

Alien

Genre: Sci-Fi
Studio: Release date: 1979 Rated: R
Language (Country): English, French, Musical Score, Production Sound (UK)
Summary: A mining ship, investigating an SOS, lands on a distant planet. The crew discovers some strange creatures and investigates.
My Rating:

My Review: The second movie by Ridley Scott (a favorite director). This movie features Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm and Yaphet Kotto as the crew of the deep space mining freighter 'Nostromo'. The crew is awakened early, in order to investigate a distress signal. The crew follows the distress signal, descends through a thick and turbulent atmosphere in order to investigate a derelict space ship. What they find in the ships hold is something deadly, something dangerous, something alien. My all time favorite horror movie. This movie created a dark mood, a claustrophobic horror flick that chilled me to the bone. This is one of those movies where I just couldn't get to sleep afterwards. I must have jumped out of my seat a hundred times. The music, the lighting, the sounds, the story, the Monster! This movie scared me more than the exorcist. The work of H.R. Giger, the colors, costumes, textures, sweat, and violence created a world of fear that the crew couldn't escape from. This is the kind of movie that makes your heart quiver in your chest, you're breath comes in shallow spurts, and the adrenalin runs rampant through your bloodstream. I felt like a train wreak after watching this horror masterpiece!
