Fingersmith

This is the BBC three-part mini-series adaptation of the book by Sarah Waters (author of Tipping the Velvet). This Victorian era lesbian film follows the disparate upbringing of two young women, one raised by thieves, the other by a rich uncle. The girls each have their crosses to bear.

Resident Evil

Marilyn Manson worked on the soundtrack, so it\’s no surprise that Resident Evil is best enjoyed by headbangers, goth guys, and PlayStation junkies. Like the interactive game it\’s based on, this horr

Lara Croft Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, The Cradle of Life is certainly better than its 2001 predecessor, but its appeal is mostly aimed at fans of the video games that inspired both movies. That pretty much leaves

Now, a cheap detective (Samuel L. Jackson) must help her remember the past before it buries them both. What’s forgotten is not always gone, and you [...]
