Tron

January 31, 2002 // 0 Comments

I suppose I should fess up and admit that I was a pre-teen geek of the highest order circa 1982. My idea of fun was a day spent banging out BASIC programs on the membrane keyboard of my Timex Sinclair computer followed by a trip to the neighborhood video [...]

The Soultaker: The Monster Within

January 31, 2002 // 0 Comments

’The Soultaker’ is an Anime series filled with elements of gothic horror, science fiction, mutants and modern Anime themes. It is a good mix as the series’ main character Kyosuke tries to find out more about his real past as he discovers his mutant [...]

Mark Twain

Like Halley’s comet, Mark Twain was a shining light in the sky that is mankind. The comparison may appear weird, but as many other weird aspects of Mark Twain’s life, the two do seem to be intertwined. Twain was born under the Halley comet and he [...]

Alan J. Pakula is at home in the genre of heartfelt character drama, like ’Sophie’s Choice,’ as much as in intense thrillers. ’Klute’ is his 1971 thriller debut starring Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland in a film that was at its time quite [...]

Sleuth

Jospeh Mankiewicz’s mystery comedy ’Sleuth’ still ranks as one of the best of its genre and I find myself smiling smirking still, just as I write this. The story of a wealthy writer (Laurence Olivier) and a penniless hairdresser (Michael Caine) [...]

Ocean’s 11

January 24, 2002 // 0 Comments

With all the publicity surrounding Steven Soderbergh’s remake of the classic movie, I was eager to see the original ’Ocean’s 11,’ featuring the Rat Pack, also known as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford. It is the story [...]

Kiss Of The Dragon

The City Of The Dead

January 23, 2002 // 0 Comments
