Movie Review: Cold Mountain (2003)

A film by Anthony Minghella Anthony Minghella is the Award Winning director of The English Patient and The Talented Mr. Ripley , but as strong as his credentials are, having seen both of those movies the Anthony Minghella name is not enough to bring me to the theatre. Despite The English...

Music Review: Beck "Guero"

Again, I'm not so great at this review thing, but I liked this cd so much I felt compelled to write up a little review. Beck is one artist for me that consistently releases excellent albums you can put in the cd player and listen to on repeat. This cd is no exception, and maybe even a return to...

A film by Michael Radford Clever. Very clever. This movie was filmed in 1984 during the months that were specified in George Orwell s novel. It was also released in 1984. This fit perfectly with the title and gave a nice contrast between Orwell s vision of the future and what the world was like...

I think it is the same basic story and may be based on the same source material (though "River Kwai" is also from a Pierre Boulle novel).
