Torches of Erin (2005)
Wrong wrong wrong
I only managed to see a trailer of this film. It is so historically inaccurate, and offensive. It should be viewed by none. Why are American actors badly portraying Irish heroes? They (CuCulainn and Fiachra, brothers) fought on a ford, not in a ditch of some sort. They would have been speaking IRISH, not sounding like English Elizabethan wannabes. This is an insult to Irish Mythology and an unfair version of what could be a fantastic movie. I hope the film makers of this movie realize the errors of their ways, and the offense they have cause to any Irish person even remotely aware of their history. To those who watch this film, please be safe in the knowledge that Irish Mythology is of a much higher quality and standard.
36 quai des orfèvres (2004)
Enjoy the suspense!
This is an utterly brilliant movie. I highly recommend it. And that's coming from someone who usually *hates* cop movies. I get really easily bored of the typical over done American hero cop drama.
This a movie of substance, with symbolism, depth and a lot of action without becoming a movie that depends on action scenes to keep it going. And it doesn't end with a fluffy fairy tale ending the way most cop drama tripe does.
The actors are brilliant, which makes up for the times when there is slight confusion because there are so many characters to follow, its cinema that hasn't been dumbed down for an American audience.
