#1 - THE THREE MUSKETEERS
Stars - Chris O'Donnell, Tim Curry, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland
Director - Stephen Herek
Memorable Quote - Porthos: 'Champagne?'
Athos: 'We're in the middle of a chase, Porthos.'
Porthos: 'You're right - something red.'
Review - Nothing more than a good chuckle, this. Lots of little one-liners as one might expect from Tim Curry, and hilarious hair-does (especially on the part of young Kiefer). Generally just a nice revisit to childhood, a bit of a swashbuckle, nothing more exciting or serious than that. 3/5
#2 - GHOST TOWN
Stars - Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear
Director - David Koepp
Memorable Quote - Nurse: 'Come back soon.'
Bertram Pincus: 'What a terrible thing to say in a hospital.'
Review - Well, to be honest, seeing the cast I wasn't expecting a masterpiece. It was largely predictable, very unrealistic (and I'm not even talking about the ghosts - why would she go for a crazy like Gervais - I mean, Bertram?), and pretty much exactly what it looked like it would be in the trailers. At least it had a message, eh? 2/5
#3 - MOON CHILD
Stars - HYDE, Gackt, Lee-Hom Wang, Zeny Kwok
Director - Takahisa Zeze
Memorable Quote - 'The next time we meet... will be at gunpoint.'
Review - This is another re-watch for me, having just got the DVD. This has been a favourite of mine for a while, and the reasons are undeniable - just think about it: futuristic gangster vampires. How could it NOT be awesome?! Gackt and Hyde have almost palpable sexual tension, giving the film an edge, and the surprise ending - which actually occurs about half an hour after you would expect the film to have ended, which I find really quite interesting - is just perfect. It's emotional, hilarious at times, and drenched in a wonderful feeling of something I can only describe as 'Sho-ness'. 5/5
Couple more pictures, cuz it deserves it:
