Razor Blade Smile (1998)
Sharper than a pair of fangs!
Shot for just £ 12, 000, this film looks more like a million. Of course Vampire films may not be every ones cup of tea, but for heavens sake viewers look at the technique on show here. Amazing use of slow mo's, optical freezes and flashes. A true Maurice Binder title sequence, and staggeringly quickly cut, dynamic action scenes. If we are every to have more than just a Merchant Ivory based cinema in the UK then can be start supporting pictures like this. Empire magazine couldn't even be bothered to give it a review!! It may not be perfect, but how far do you think 12 grand goes these days? Also worth noting is the superbly over- the - top performance from Lighthouse's Chris Adamson. So often performances in low budget films look amateur, not here. Director of photography James Solan did an amazing job, the interior shots look as professional as many a Hollywood production and I'll bet he had about ten minutes to light each shot! The music by Richard Wells was also excellent. Well judged and perfectly placed. For goth fans everywhere and hopefully film fans, check this out on tape. Grab some beers, ask round a few friends and have a mad, entertaining and hilarious night in!! Forget those reviews that tell you it's awful....their just...err pains i
Schindler's List (1993)
Film making at the top of it's form.
Your finest work to date Mr Spielberg, a legacy and warning to future generations. Film making at the top of it's form. A beautifully told, harrowing story and that grows with each viewing. Pictures that haunt the mind for ever. A wonderful job from Janus Kiminski and possibly John Williams finest work for the cinema.
Shooting the picture must have been horrific - to recreate the slaughter for weeks on end...must have been dreadful. All those who took part added something this moving and heartfelt
