" Jack Lemmon was one of our most beloved movie stars. A two-time Academy Award winner, he appeared in dozens of memorable films, including such classics as Some Like It Hot, Mister Roberts, The Odd Couple, Grumpy Old Men, Missing, The Apartment, and The China Syndrome. On-screen, he came across as a kind of "everyman"—audiences loved him because they felt they knew him, because he was on of them. In A Twist of Lemmon, Chris Lemmon share ..."
"Kevin Spacey (American Beauty) spielt David Gale, einen brillianten, wenn auch schwer trinkenden Aktivisten, der sich dem Kampf gegen die Todesstrafe verschrieben hat und wegen angeblicher Vergewaltigung und Mord im Gefängnis seine Hinrichtung erwartet. Da das Opfer des Verbrechens Gales enge Freundin und Mitstreiterin (Laura Linney, You Can Count On Me) ist, scheint für ihn der Fall klar: jemand hat ihn hereingelegt, um die gemeinsame ..."
"Sorti en 1995 sur les écrans, Usual Suspects a mis dans sa poche bon nombre de cinéphiles, et agacé pas mal de ceux qui se sont laissé piéger par ce scénario alambiqué à souhait, au montage particulièrement maîtrisé et au rebondissement final digne des plus grands films du genre. Quelques années après, que reste-t-il du deuxième film de Bryan Singer ? D'abord, une excellente surprise pour tous ceux qui l'on déjà vu : Usual Suspect ..."
"William Wharton's startling and moving novel about fathers and sons got an above-average film adaptation from TV's Gary David Goldberg, who wrote and directed. While the film couldn't capture the sadness and wonder of Wharton's worlds-within-worlds construct, it did get exactly right the notion of how one closes the distance from a parent or a child. Danson plays an ambitious businessman forced to put work aside to care for his aging pa ..."

"Es ist der verstörendste und beunruhigendste Serienkiller-Thriller seit Das Schweigen der Lämmer. Dabei basiert Sieben auf einer Idee, die ebenso schaurig wie genial ist: Ein von den sieben Todsünden der Bibel besessener Serienkiller sucht sich ausschließlich solche Menschen als Opfer aus, die seiner Ansicht nach eine dieser Todsünden begangen haben. Er arrangiert jeden Tatort mit großer Akribie und erzeugt am Ort seiner Verbrechen grot ..."
"The most viscerally frightening and disturbing homicidal maniac picture since The Silence of the Lambs, Seven is based on an idea that's both gruesome and ingenious. A serial killer forces each of his victims to die by acting out one of the seven deadly sins. The murder scene is then artfully arranged into a grotesque tableau, a graphic illustration of each mortal vice. From the jittery opening credits to the horrifying (and seemingly i ..."
