2001 MANIACS Tim Sullivan 2004



2001 Maniacs is a film by Tim Sullivan released in the U.S. in 2004. It is actually a remake of 2000 Maniacs'''' a 1964 film, already reviewed on this blog. So I had confessed not to have liked the first album. In conclusion, this second version, what about ...? And although it's just talented, prodigious simply! The black humor is simply fly! It's less unhealthy, but it was still a nice parade of sluts parading before us. It's more modern, it is a young American campus, with beautiful convertibles, beautiful bikes, an innovative film connected ... I much prefer this second version compared to the first! It's gory, yes, but it makes us laugh. One thinks of Planet Terror Robert Rodriguez, or A Night in Hell the same author.
The story picks up pretty much in the first scenario, but it took a huge facelift! Some youth chest
leave for the southern States for the Easter holidays. They are then diverted by a diversion that lead to Pleasant Valley, a remote village. They will be greeted like royalty. But over two days, many of the will brutally murdered. Every year in this small village, celebrate the anniversary. But what a birthday ...? None of our guests do not know. The reason for this event is to commemorate the slaughter of northerners called the''Yankees''on the southerners during the Civil War. All our new hero will be slain. All? No, except two who manage to escape alive from this dark history. The next day, back on the scene of the village with the sheriff, nothing ... nothing but a cemetery abandoned! But starting afresh on their way,''big''and''bitch''big muscles receive a final message of one of the villagers ...
Basically, we have a pretty nice cast, and some good benefits from certain. An excellent film that's all!

Melody in the basement of Henri Verneuil 1962





Melody''underground''is a film by Henri Verneuil, released in 1962. This is a great movie that can be between film noir and comedy. The two main stars who will share the bill are none other than Jean Gabin and Alain Delon. There are also a small role as bartender Jean Carmet. This is the first time I saw this movie, and I must say that I was not too displeased. This is a great classic of French cinema, but it's not a masterpiece, far from it! However the film's story is very well written and dialogues Michel Audiard collide with each replica.
Jean Gabin plays the role of a certain Mr. Charles, out of jail after many years locked behind bars. Once back home, his wife asked him to resume a quiet little business on the Cote d'Azur, but Charles is a new blow: rob the casino in Cannes ... Knocking on doors of his old friends too gangsters, they assume the case is''too old''judging for this kind of crap. So it goes back in touch with an ex-con he met in prison. This guy called Francis Verlot, it is played by Alain Delon. They will also ask both step-brother Francis to come and lend a hand, as a driver. All three parties on the Croisette, they will mount a wonderfully clever plan. But will they achieve their ultimate dream ... ie pocket the one billion francs? See for yourself with this movie!
Basically, as in all their films, Delon and Gabin deliver a remarkable performance. And Henri Verneuil is still as good director. A movie to watch for fans of French cinema in black and white fans Audiard, and the whole clique that time ...
