Gretchen Mol looks uncannily like Bettie Page - she has the same 'innocent' look that made Bettie Page into such an icon. This mainly black and white biopic of her life works very well - the late 1950's period feel is really spot on especially during the first half of the movie. Unfortunately during the last half of the movie nothing much happens but that said this still proves to be an interesting watch.

Was she as naive and innocent as she was made out to be? A country girl who was possibly taken advantage of - it's quite a sad tale in it's own way. But I still find it a little difficult to believe that she didn't understand how the bondage/spanking imagery was being used - to her apparently it was just dressing up and posing. BDSM/Fetish-wise of course it's not possible to stress just how important Bettie Page became. Beautiful to look at it may be, but regrettably this film barely scratches the surface of its fascinating subject matter. Worth a look if you're into the 50s icon scene.

Nicole Kidman performance is captivating without being as rich as some of her previous and later works. However, once the initial furry set up has been established the movie doesn't endeaver to do much more with its brave story. There's some muttering about desire and more than what's needed on the nudism side of things, but nothing very substantial is offered. All the more annoying is that in real life her character, Diane Arbus, took her own life at 48, which is not shown or even mentioned in this loosely based biopic....

It's hard to shake off the feeling that this mesmerising but puzzling film is a biopic masquerading as a fantasy tale, or maybe its the other way round. Whichever it may be, this is a good attempt to do something with the genre, but unfortunately it doesn't grow on you like the fur on Downey Jr.'s skin. If you're ready for something a little out of the ordinary try this film.

From the outset you know you are watching something different than your run of the mill shock horror. An intelligent and super twisted spin on a revenge movie that keeps you hooked as you'll be desperate to find out why the main character was imprisoned for 15 years. A dense, dark, devastatingly sad story of incest, revenge and love. Bleak, yet hauntingly beautiful and powerfully acted, the story line never tires throughout the film and grips you from start to finish. The second in the vengeance trilogy and perhaps the most well known - fine as a stand alone. An extraordinary and original film.

In true Lock Stock style Vinnie Jones returns to the screen in this excellent film!! It has all the action of Lock Stock and the excellent one liners to go with it - listen veeeerry carefully to Brad Pitt who is superb in his roll as a Gypsy Prize fighter, you'll be hitting the rewind button to some of his lines I guarantee it - he was absolutely hiliarious. The same twists and turns as Lock Stock, but slicker and funnier than Ritchie's earlier film. Violent, foul mouthed and gritty. If you like British ganster flicks, this is amongst the best!
