"It seems that thrillers these days--even good ones--are all about scene-chewing bad guys, cute retorts fit for the Dennis Miller show and one big special effect to end the movie. Well, something like The Peacemaker, the first feature film from DreamWorks, puts the record straight. Here is an expertly paced thriller with a sensible villain, smart instead of cute dialogue, and a focus on action instead of special effects. It's not origina ..."
"Es scheint so, als handelten heutzutage alle Thriller -- sogar die guten -- von übergroßen Bösewichtern und dass all diese Filme am Schluss mit einem einzigen, großen Spezialeffekt enden. Nun, ein Film wie Projekt: Peacemaker, der erste Kinofilm von Steven Spielbergs DreamWorks-Studio, macht genau das Gegenteil. Hier haben wir einen hervorragend ausgearbeiteten Thriller mit einem greifbaren Bösewicht, klugen anstelle von pfiffigen Dialo ..."

"\"The Ending You'll Never Forget!\" - Peter Travers, Rolling Stones. The silence has been broken...\"Thrilling\" (Time), \"absorbing\" (The Wall Street Journal), and \"entertaining\" (Newsday), this follow-up to The Silence of the Lambs is an \"audacious success\" (US Weekly)! Anthony Hopkins is \"perverse perfection\" (Rolling Stones) in his return to the role of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the sophisticated killer who comes out of hiding to ..."
"Mit seinem Sommer-Blockbuster Gladiator, dessen Größe sich mit seinen Vorgängern des Monumentalfilmzeitalters messen kann, hat Regisseur Ridley Scott ein energiegeladenes, actionbetontes Epos erschaffen, mit dem er den Zuschauer mittels computergenerierter Effekte in das Zeitalter des Römischen Imperiums zurückversetzt. Mögen die Effekte auch nicht den Standard anderer Megaproduktionen wie zum Beispiel Titanic erreichen, vermitteln sie ..."
"Steven Spielberg had a banner year in 1993. He scored one of his biggest commercial hits that summer with the mega-hit Jurassic Park, but it was the artistic and critical triumph of Schindler's List that Spielberg called "the most satisfying experience of my career." Adapted from the best-selling book by Thomas Keneally and filmed in Poland with an emphasis on absolute authenticity, Spielberg's masterpiece ranks among the greatest films ..."
"Ridley Scotts Black Hawk Down vermittelt die raue, chaotische Dringlichkeit des Bodentruppenkampfes in einem Worst-Case-Szenario. Der Film zeichnet äußerst detailgetreu die Belagerung der somalischen Hauptstadt Mogadischu im Oktober 1993 durch amerikanische Truppen nach, als eine Mission, die auf 45 Minuten ausgelegt war, zu einem 16-stündigen blutigen Stadtguerillakrieg ausartete. Von Hubschraubern eingeflogene US-Rangers hatten den Au ..."

"Er ist wieder da, und er ist hungriger denn je. Zehn Jahre nach Das Schweigen der Lämmer genießt Dr. Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) Espresso schlürfend das süße Leben in Italien. FBI-Agentin Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore, die die Rolle von Jodie Foster übernommen hat) dagegen ist es weniger gut ergangen. Sie war schon immer eine Außenseiterin, und nun ist sie die stille, launische Einzelgängerin, die die bürokratis ..."
"3 octobre 1993, pour tenter de mettre fin à la guerre civile qui fait rage en Somalie, un commando d'une centaine de G.I. est envoyé à Mogadiscio pour enlever les deux lieutenants d'un des principaux chefs locaux. Mais la mission tourne vite au cauchemar : les hélicoptères américains sont abattus, et les soldats se retrouvent seuls face à des rebelles somaliens surarmés et à une population locale hostile… Film dramatique plus encor ..."

"Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down conveys the raw, chaotic urgency of ground-force battle in a worst-case scenario. With exacting detail, the film re-creates the American siege of the Somalian city of Mogadishu in October 1993, when a 45-minute mission turned into a 16-hour ordeal of bloody urban warfare. Helicopter-borne U.S. Rangers were assigned to capture key lieutenants of Somali warlord Muhammad Farrah Aidid, but when two Black Hawk ..."

"Grâce à la parfaite maîtrise du réalisateur Ridley Scott (Blade Runner), Gladiator réussit à renouveler le genre du cinéma épique, tout en sinscrivant dans la grande tradition de Spartacus, de Stanley Kubrick, et de La Chute de lempire romain, dAnthony Mann. Désigné pour succéder à lempereur, le général des armées Maximus (Russell Crowe) est rapidement écarté du pouvoir par Commodus, le prince incapable et parricide (Joaquin Phœnix ..."
"Anthony Hopkins is "perverse perfection" (Rolling Stone) in his return to the role of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the sophisticated killer who comes out of hiding to draw FBI agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) into a high-stakes battle that will test her strength, cunning and loyalty."

"A big-budget summer epic with money to burn and a scale worthy of its golden Hollywood predecessors, Ridley Scott's Gladiator is a rousing, grisly, action-packed epic that takes moviemaking back to the Roman Empire via computer-generated visual effects. While not as fluid as the computer work done for, say, Titanic, it's an impressive achievement that will leave you marveling at the glory that was Rome, when you're not marveling at the ..."

"An engrossing, 1983 television miniseries based on a bestselling work of historical fiction by Herman Wouk, The Winds of War is an admirable production reminiscent of the era of Hollywood's epic features. At the center of the globe-trotting story is the Henry family, whose laconic but straight-shooting patriarch is United States Navy Commander Victor "Pug" Henry (Robert Mitchum), sent to Hitler's Berlin in the spring of 1939 as a naval ..."
