    “Changing Lanes” Plot Summary

    The story of what happens one day in New York when a young lawyer and a businessman share a small automobile accident on F.D.R. Drive and their mutual road rage escalates into a feud. add synopsis

    Good Thriller

    An original story, that escalates minor events into all out war between two fairly ordinary but stressed out individuals

    A simple road accident, leads to ‘Jackson’ losing his last chance with his kids because ‘Afleck’ didn’t give him a lift. And so it begins, a winding thriller of morality and revenge. ‘Tit for Tat’ rapidly becomes far more than just childish games, and the lives of everyone involved are turned upside down Very well cast and directed, this is a fine film, with an interesting story.8/10

    “From Hell” Movie Review

    “From Hell” Plot Summary

    In Victorian Era London, a troubled clairvoyant police detective investigates the murders by Jack The Ripper. add synopsis

    Surprisingly decent Jack the Ripper themed horror flick

    Many interpretations of Jack the Ripper’s allegory have been delineated throughout the horror genre’s past era, and while ‘From Hell’ may not be the best, it portrays the historical events in a satisfactory manner. This particularly accurate account of the London serial killer shifts it’s focus between different sets of people residing in the Whitechapel District in 1888 – most interestingly, a circle of poverty stricken prostitutes who went on to become The Ripper’s unsuspecting victims while an impassive detective works at uncovering the identity of the elusive butcher. Several strewed instances of the killer, behind closed doors, are also eerily shown, as well as the much likely generalization pertaining to his identification and overall motive. ‘From Hell’ is far better from what you would expect from a Hollywood bio-flick, since it hardly embellishes any character or fabricates much of the story; remarkably cultivating a bleak and completely ‘unsafe’ tone throughout. The London streets always covey a feeling of deep menace, even without Jack prowling around, slashing up those rough n’ tumble whores. Johnny Depp, an actor who has never ‘wowed’ to any real extremes, is surprisingly subdued in his role as an opium addicted cop who never really steals the show away, as I initially expected. Heather Graham is way too smokin’ hot, and kind of looks like a fish-out-of-water among all those raggedy hookers, though I needs me some hot, red-headed eye candy every now and again (though she doesn’t get naked, unfortunately). Strangely, the real star here is the dark entity of The Ripper, whom we really only see for short amounts of time, though his presence is strong and the scenes where he entices harlots with grapes and opium laced shots before gouging the hell out of them is creepy… Also a good deal of bloodshed here, though often stylish during the murders, themselves (namely the luminescent flash of a blade in the dark, accompanied by CG blood spatter), the aftermath is pretty gruesome, even if quite subtle, aside from grisly descriptions of vaginal mutilation and symbolic intestinal extraction. Jack’s fifth and final murder, though significantly altered for a moderately happy ending, is brutal looking and anyone who as seen the actually crime scene photos while vouch for that. And be sure to keep an eye out for Joseph Merrick (aka. The Elephant Man) who makes a brief cameo! ‘From Hell’ is a fairly truthful biographical film, despite it’s ‘Hollywood’ attitude, and is well worth a look for Ripper enthusiasts.
