OK
there is no way I can compete with Pointers great movie reviews. But I did see a couple of excellent movies this past week and thought Id mention them. Neither is the typical Hollywood stuff that is cranked out by the barrel full. I almost never go to the cinema
both movies should be readily available on DVD for rent.<br /><br />Lawless Heart A British movie that is perhaps one of the best, most balanced movies I have ever seen. There is no main character in the movie. The interaction of the lives of all characters is equally represented from different angles in overlapping time sequences. Its about life in a small English seaside town. The movie starts at a wake and follows one character, then jumps back and follows another; at times going forward with everyone, at times jumping back to catch-up on another character. Theres just a hint of the sequencing that was the object of the Swedish movie, Winter Sleepers. Not a chick-flick, wonderful British humor. Fwiw, I think the Brits consistently crank out the best actors and actress on the screen. Not so with their chefs. 
<br /><br />Demonlover probably not what youre thinking. A French movie (subtitles) about corporate espionage and the illegal activities therein. The product they are competing for: Japanese animation, the transition from 2D into 3D graphic animated movies targeting the adult market. Who will control global distribution of animated product in the adult entertainment market? And how will they get that control? About 1/3 of the movie is in english, none of the footage filmed in Japanese is subtitled, but you will not be left wondering what was said. Filmed in France, Japan, and Mexico. The movie is extremely well produced, sliding seamlessly into and out of cinema verte. If you are looking for an erotic movie, pass on this one
thats not what this movie is about. As a matter of fact, youre not going to get to see much of the animation, either
just enough to let you know what theyre fighter over. Gina Gershons part is too small, but then its a French movie.<br /><br />Pointer Im waiting for your review of Shrek 2
