Tom H’s Film Reviews

Not Quite Hollywood Not Quite Hollywood (2007)Recommended
5 stars (Exceptional) One of the best film–related documentaries I have ever seen, 'Not Quite Hollywood' explores the otherwise untold tales of Australian exploitation and grindhouse flicks, complete with director and actor commentaries, and a cool visual presentation.
Exorcist, TheExorcist, The (1973)Aro Favourite
3 stars (Good Enough) Still intensely uneasy and at times revolting, this straightforward horror tale relies more on in–your–face scares than down–your–spine chills.
Sixth Sense, TheSixth Sense, The (1999)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good) If only we could watch a movie without any knowledge of having seen it before or knowing of the twists to come. An intense and moving first viewing—only sad that we can never capture that final moment of realisation more than once.
Others, TheOthers, The (2001)Recommended
3 stars (Good Enough) Henry James meets Shyamalan in this tale of twists and turns, constantly reminding us that the less we see, the creepier each moment becomes.
DVD $15 $11.25
Orphanage, The Orphanage, The (El Orfanato) (2007)Aro Favourite
2 stars (Good Try) Heavy on the chilling atmosphere and spooky children, although somewhat too familiar to remain memorable.
Pan's LabyrinthPan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del fauno) (2006)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) An adult–fairytale set in WWII, with unforgettable visual marvels and thick emotion courtesy of a high–performing cast.
DVD $24.95 $18.70
City of Lost ChildrenCity of Lost Children (1995)Aro Favourite
3 stars (Good Enough) Visually wonderful, and drawing on many of the same ideas as Delicatessen, though somewhat overdone and lacking in direction.
DelicatessenDelicatessen (1992)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good) One of the darkest comedies you will ever experience, and still standing as Jean–Pierre's evil masterpiece.
DVD $20 $15
Le Dernier CombatLe Dernier Combat (The Last Battle) (1983)Recommended
3 stars (Good Enough) No–doubt an impressive and ambitious debut, although a little too–strange for most, and combining so many elements that it at times loses its way.
DVD $19.95 $14.95 | Blu-Ray $29.95 $24.95
AtlantisAtlantis (1992)
3 stars (Good Enough) A visual masterpiece, if something more like a lavish screensaver than a feature film.
