by Chad Stroh. The film is based on real events that occurred during the Sierra Leone Civil War in 1999. The war was primarily between the government and violent radical rebels. Some of the more disturbing scenes show the rebels cutting of people's hand in effort to stop them from voting. One of the men who almost got their hand cut off is Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou). Luckily they felt he was able-bodied eno... products, articles, news
- Blood Diamond - This Is Africa
by Michael Hwang. You heard right. Not Sparta, but AFRICA! I finally watched Blood Diamond last night, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Danny Archer, Djimon Hounsou as Solomon Vandy, and Jennifer Connelly as Maddy Bowen. The movie is about the illegal trafficking of diamonds in Africa: diamonds are harvested in Sierra Leone, smuggled into Liberia, and from there, sold to the rest of the world.

- Movies -- Importance of Lighting in The Illusionist (2006) and Marie Antoinette (2006)
by Ugur Akinci. Rembrandt said "all is light." If our reference is the visible universe, I think he is right. In movies, even emotions are dependent on the way a film is lighted. That's why I think DP (director of photography) is such a crucial part of a film crew, perhaps as important as the Director herself.
Two recent and one old movies bring home the point very forcefully -- The Illusionist (2006), Marie An... products, articles, news
- Movie Review - Amazing Plot Similarities Between "Seraphim Falls (2006)" and "Apocalypto (2006)"

In some cases, they are different movies by the same director and the THEMATIC similarities are understandable.
Take Woody Allen's "Crime and Misdemeanors (1989)" and "Match Point (2005)" for example. To me, these are basically ... products, articles, news
- Prison Break 2.17 Bad Blood - Review

- Is The Extreme Blood And Gore In Movies Today Scarier Than Older Horror Flix?
by Rob Mead. In 1963, Herschel Gordon Lewis unleashed a movie called "Blood Feast" on an unsuspecting American movie going public. It featured a man who needed body parts from women to conjure up a long-dead Egyptian Goddess to complete an Egyptian Feast. The scenes of decapitated heads and torsos dripping with blood was the first really gross-out material that most people had seen up to that year. Before tha... products, articles, news
- First Blood - When Rambo Wasn't Rambo
by Gus Larking. Rambo was a very big part of my childhood. Not so much because of the movies, although I'm sure I saw them as a kid, but because of the cartoon series. Not only I watched it, I had the toys! Including, of course, Rambo himself, in all his muscular glory.
But as I watched First Blood on DVD a few days ago, I was surprised to discover a Rambo that was unlike the one I remembered. See, for me Rambo... products, articles, news
