"J. M. Barrie, Victorian novelist, playwright, and author of Peter Pan or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, led a life almost as magical and interesting as as his famous creation.

"When Slade embarked upon their one and only movie 1974, fans and critics alike were expecting something akin to a Glam Rock update of The Beatles 'A Hard Days Night', released a decade earlier. After all, in the dark days of a Britain beset by strikes, power cuts and a collective musical identity crisis, Slade were the ultimate good time band: irreverent, loud and armed with a terrific songbook of singalong stompers. However, expectati ..."
"Ouf ! Oubliée, la calamiteuse première édition DVD du Nom de la Rose. Celle-ci, impeccable techniquement et accompagnée de bonus passionnants, rend enfin justice à ce qui reste à ce jour le meilleur film de Jean-Jacques Annaud. Du foisonnant thriller théologico-philosophique d'Umberto Eco, le futur réalisateur de L’Ours a su tirer un film passionnant de bout en bout. L’intrigue, tortueuse à souhait, plonge le spectateur au cœur d’une ab ..."
"Following the Biblical tale, KING DAVID chronicles the real-life story of David, a lowly shepherd boy whose shrewdness and bravery helped him ascend to the throne of ancient Israel. From his defeat of Goliath to his jealousy-fueled relationship with Saul, to his self-destructive yearning for Bathsheba, the story of David is an action-packed saga of religion and politics based partly on history and partly on legend and full of ethical l ..."
"The Professional Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) made his American directorial debut with this stylized thriller about a French hit man (Jean Reno) who takes in an American girl (Natalie Portman) being pursued by a corrupt killer cop (Gary Oldman). Oldman is a little more unhinged than he should be, but there is something genuinely irresistible about the story line and the relationship between Reno and Portman. Rather than cave in to the ..."
"A bizarre and compelling story of family secrets based on the novel by Ian McEwan (who also wrote the novel upon which The Comfort of Strangers is based), this British film tells the complex tale of four children who conspire to hide their dead mother's body to avoid being split apart and sent to an orphanage. Their deception works for a while, as they forge a self-sufficient family unit. Soon, however, mistrust and a deeply antagonisti ..."
"1999 may be remembered as the year of Joan of Arc: NBC created a miniseries in her honor, Carl Dreyer's long-lost The Passion of Joan of Arc was discovered in a mental hospital, and Facets re-released Jacques Rivette's Joan the Maid. Luc Besson rounds out the corpus with his stylistic and vaguely heretical grand-scale feature, The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc. Besson (La Femme Nikita, The Fifth Element) challenges established ..."
