Virtual Sexuality (1999)
dreadful piece of film!1
Oh dear. this was quite possibly the worst film i have seen in years. I mean what more can be done with the old "woman inside mans body" storyline? it was full of cliches, eg the nerd coming into his own sequence, the "lad" getting whats coming to him etc. im not calling these spoilers because any one could guess what happens!! the only thing it had going for it was Laura Fraser, who gave an average performance. and as for the "dream" boy, that was the wettest piece of acting ever. even the bad guys were instantly forgettable.
terrible movie.
Nothing Personal (1995)
insight into the other side for a change
I quite enjoyed this movie for two reasons. The first is that it gives an insight into the world of loyalism in northern ireland, which is very rarely treated in movies, most of which tell us about the republican struggle. The second reason is the performances of the actors. I thought they gave very honest and convincing portrayals of a very seedy underworld that not many people hear about outside my native shores.
All in all, it is an entertaining ganster movie with stellar performances from a who's who in northern irish actors cast. It wont move the earth, although it may slightly open some peoples eyes to the murky world of loyalist paramilitaries.
Leprechaun (1992)
Hilarious shenanigans from the little green fellow!
What a brilliant idea for a movie! An evil leprechaun causing death and destruction in pursuit of his stolen gold! The beauty of this movie is that it is only trying to be semi-serious, therefore we get more laughs than frights throughout. warwick Davies is amazing as the little fellow, and my only complaint is that he is not in it enough with his genius lines such as "wheres me gold!" and "do ye like the gold buckles on me shoes?". none of the performances by the "human" actors can really be taken seriously, because after all they are being chased by a leprechaun! An excellent comedy, but that is all it is; a laugh. But worth it none the less!
The Crucible (1996)
powerful story portrayed by powerful performances
Having studied the play at school (and scrutinising every single line of it!) I was very interested when I heard they were making the movie and especially as the original playwrite Arthur Miller was penning the screenplay. The movie stays very close to the original play, and Millers dialogue is delivered usually more than adequately throughout. Joan Allen and the actor(whose name escapes me) who plays Paris shine throughout, and Daniel Day Lewis is brilliant as Proctor, especially in the last half an hour of the movie, where the drama increases tenfold. This is an excellent representation of an awful period of history.
