Reviews of UK cinema releases. Thursday, August 31, 2006. Right at Your Door. Starring: Rory Cochrane, Mary McCormack, Max Kasch. In this current time of paranoia about terrorism from largely imagined enemies, the government is running its own form of terrorism by creating a climate of fear amongst the public, which allows it to introduce new laws and measures that undermine our civil liberties and human rights. Tried getting on a plane lately? Just watch Adam Curtis's documentary, The Power of Nightmares.

Roll Film: September 2006
http://houselightsoff.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Reviews of UK cinema releases. Saturday, September 30, 2006. Ever since Disney made his first animated feature, Snow White. Fairy tales have been a popular source for children's and family movies. Disney sanitised the original tales for the delicate minds of American children, (the same ones that have grown into killers, but that's another discussion for another place). Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm. Went some way to showing how dark fairy tales are, and Neil Jordan's The Company of Wolves. David Og...

Reviews of UK cinema releases. Friday, January 26, 2007. Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounso, Jennifer Connelly. Edward Zwick's ( The Seige, The Last Samurai. Latest film is one of the most powerful films you will see this year. It's Hollywood with a conscience - almost. There is plenty of action, which anyone who has seen Zwick's other films will know he does very well. The director also avoids having a clichéd Hollywood happy ending. There is some justice, but not for all. Cast: Hugh Jackman, Rachel...

Water (2005) directed by Deepa Mehta. August 20, 2006 at 1:20 pm ( Drama. I would like to strongly recommend a film that I saw last night. It is called “Water” directed by Deepa Mehta. It is a story of the fate of widowed women in 1938 India, so on the surface it is film about social reform and the plight of the under-privileged. But. of course, it is also a film about hope and ascent and being the beautiful lotus in the polluted water. The film has done well in Canada, but is certainly not in the mainst...

Reviews of UK cinema releases. Saturday, October 28, 2006. Cast: Kate Winslet, Jennifer Connelly, Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley. The other involves a convicted sex offender, Ronny (Jackie Earle Haley) who exposed himself to a young child. After being released from prison he goes back to stay with his elderly mother, and becomes the target of a hate campaign led by an ex-cop, Larry (Noah Emmerich). This may sound a bit boring and highbrow, like a lot of domestic dramas, such as Ordinary People. Diffe...
