I'd like to know more about how this suspenseful music was made. I have my doubts that it's in any way original. But, like a detective, no evidence = no charge. I suspect this film gets away with the crime scot free as a result.

The movie is the beginning of an intriguing murder mystery. These are/were very rare on this website and I'm interested to see where this leads.

The lead role is played well and the dramatic beats are well handled.

Hopefully there's room on board for PERIERS 1944 http://movies.lionhead.com/movie/129006 and maybe THE HOURS http://movies.lionhead.com/movie/113532

Let's get it out of the way - a number of things weren't very here.

* Mumbling - after 3 years people still don't switch it off, and probably never will

* People getting shot without any consequence. Our hero gets shot and wakes up right as rain in a prison cell. Nosferatu gets shot, and appears unharmed in the next scene.

* Not enough introduction to the villain characters, and no real motive for the female heroine to release our hero. Why did she do that?


But.

There were some very memorable scenes and loads of evidence for a great filmmaking eye at work - the battleship under the bridge was a great visual. I was hoping it would blow up the bridge in an act of wanton terrorism to get the picture started, but no luck!

The editing of the infiltration scenes was excellent - better action editing than in the latest Bond film by a mile. You could see what was going on most of the time, and the hits were handled very well - at times I could see Daniel Craig ruthlessly dispatching the henchmen in similar fashion. It was some of the best James-Bondish action editing I've seen on this site. Well paced and very clear as to what was going on (are you watching Marc Foster?)

So, 3 stars becomes 4 just for that.

Lots of nonsense, but beautifully shot in many places.

**** stars

A idea, the movie really kicked off when Lassie started talking to the horse and a chain of unlikely events was put in motion to get a rent/mortgage payment in on time.

ending, but bad beginning. The main character's speech problems thoroughly annoyed me; I've never been a fan of that kind of humour. But thankfully it was only in the first two or three minutes. After that, the film got alot better and the laugh factor was dramatically increased.

***** stars

Well - this was quality writing all the way through. Some technical problems, such as an early shot where the camera passes through solid objects, and a car chase scene in which the top of a moving backdrop is visible.

So, with about 2 minutes to go, this was a safe 4-stars. A very well told story with nice action editing. The music didn't always fit, lush romantic themes when she's going around biting people didn't work for me. But the heavy metal was when the action kicked off.

Then came the ending - great writing here, a beautifully atmospheric and appropriate ending to the film. It's that last scene which makes this a 5-star film in my book. Dare I say that with some VO, this could have been an absolutely outstanding film.

**** stars

Some gags in this. I found the constant clicking in the VO and the pauses between lines a bit grating, but it was still funny and well worth watching.

Nice music too.

**** stars

The visuals didn't make much sense, and the mumbling was turned on. But the song was very with some nice melodic hooks in there ("to the top! to the top!")

performance!

The Black Gypsy

I got more junk in my trunk, ya baby
And I got to do what it is,
I got to do
Ya make some moves
That’s what it is
I got to live
Or taste defeat
I know that I see the enemy coming
He’s taking no prisoners
No one but you
I ‘m lost in this groove
Not messing with him
Yes I came to win

And work my way to the top
I aint gonna let you bring me down
I’m gonna use what I got
I’m gonna make this [shhhh!] hott

The Po Po’s hot on the block, pretty baby
I got to move cannot stop
Cause I’m crazy
I got to do what I got to do
Because one day I know I am going to make it

Yes I got to do
What I got to do
No messing around
Here waiting for you
You wont ever know
Till you walk in my shoes
“I am the Black Gypsy”

I know that I see the enemy
I know that I see the enemy
I know that I see the enemy
The enemy
The enemies coming
For you…

Rap

The Vatican
London
Washington
Oh [shhhh!],
I forgot about Switzerland
That’s the seed of Satan’s power
We in the hour
Of judgment
Streets are more flooded with agents

Causing entrapment
I done had it with the savage
But most are still true brain damaged
To understand
Let alone
Understand the science of madness
That is being demonstrated
We were castrated
Now still held incarcerated
Though slavery was outdated
Once again
Labors free in the penitentiary
Aint no mystery
About white supremacy
Cause globally
They got all the blacks
Living in poverty
Is that a coincidence
Or highly strategic
Method of oppression
No question
They done went way beyond
Transgression
(Rap Ends)

And work my way to the top
I aint gonna let you bring me down
I’m gonna use what I got
I’m gonna make this [shhhh!] hott


And work my way to the top
I aint gonna let you bring me down
I’m gonna use what I got
I’m gonna make this [shhhh!] hott

Thank you Jazzx for that last wonderful review of Final Hours, after so many comments about how it would be fantastic with VO's, I was fully intending to redo it with them, then I had a major problem and lost the saved files, all that was left was the finished version, maybe one day I will do a remake, because I agree it would be so much better with voices
In regards to movies to save have you any of The Courage Within on board by Mefune Akira, infact just about all of LMAO studios movies are great.

Regards
David

***** stars

A funny movie which cleverly reverses the sexual orientation stereotype (the hetero being in the minority and trying to gain acceptance, although for the purely selfish reason of rubbing shoulders with the stars).

A ending and with some hilariously bad English accents adding to the laughs. This was one of the better short comedies released here in the last 3 years.

**** stars

This one plays almost like a game-generated film - but with excellent narration and some amusing comedic beats.

Bizarre comedy isn't really my thing, and quite a few jokes just didn't hit the spot. But there was enough I did find funny to make this one downloadable for the archives.

***** stars

Hehe - I liked that one, especially the various hackneyed The Movies characters falling into the pit while the conversation was going on (bunnies, clowns, review-for-reviewers [but where was the chicken?])

Funny stuff!

***** stars

Loved the theme song and the VO for the two characters. Very funny lines in the opening. And I loved the way the sidekick got told to shut up as he was about to reveal an obvious plot hole!

I'm not sure there's much more than Stella in that bottle though, Newcastle girls are anybody's after a pint of that!

[just kidding - please don't pull my review until December 5th - pweeaaase?]

***** stars

That turned out to be quite a film.

I wasn't that sure about it after the first couple of minutes, but the overlays and the cartoon were superb. It was a disturbing trip.

Some of the VO was a bit mumbled or low in the mix - particularly in the cartoon.

Absinthe is not mind-altering - that's a myth, it does make you very lazy the next day though!

A very original film, well worth saving.
