The Changeling, a review by Rich

The Changeling





Wow - can this really be true?? It is so difficult to comprehend one humans ability for evil, and a whole police departments ability to be so corrupt, uncaring and downright despicable in its actions. You question did this happen, and not that many years ago either.
It is a surprisingly powerful film, as a parent you find yourself swapping places and imagining how awful these tragic events must have been. Jolie proves that underneath all the gloss is a truly talented actress, and she dominates the film with some very moving and emotional scenes. Seasoned director Eastwood displays once again his ability to adapt a true story into a credable, immersing and harrowing movie, sure to weather well with age. With the settings reminiscent of LA Confidential, the whole feel of the film is absorbing and convincing, attention to detail was superb. The trial scenes at the end were the only disappointment, a little bit too 'Americanised' for my personal taste.
A disturbing movie, a storyline that I have not stopped thinking about, and some performances both on and off the set that make this production stand apart.

Three Stooges: Whoops I'm an Indian, a review by addicted2dvd

The Three Stooges: Whoops, I'm an Indian
Set in the old west, the stooges are crooked gamblers gypping the residents of a frontier town.

My Thoughts:
Once again no more then an average short. I did like the setting of this one. But I didn't find all that many laughs here.

[Rerun Marathon] Spaced, a review by Tom

10/10

Great start into a new series. Loved the Pulp Fiction parody. And the dissing of George Lucas because of "Episode 1" ("It's been 18 months"  )
