“88 Minutes” Movie Review
“88: 88 Minutes” Plot Summary
In Seattle, the successful forensic psychiatrist and college professor Jack Gramm is in evidence since…
Frantic and exciting thriller with good performances from Al Pacino and his nemesis Neal McDonough
Tense and suspenseful thriller film with a stunning race against time. This Hichcockian movie deals about a forensic psychologist and University professor with tortured past named Jack Grimm (Al Pacino ) who receives a phone call telling him which has only eighty eight minutes to live. Jack was witness on trail against serial killer Jon Foster (Neal McDonough)and influenced the tribunal to condemn him to death row. In narrow time he desperately seeks to communicate with a problematic student (Ben McKenzie,OC), his associate Shelby (Amy Brenneman), assistant (Alicia Witt), his friend and FBI agent(William Forsythe), a security guard (Brendan Fletcher) and University dean (Deborah Kara Unger). Meanwhile being pursued by a delinquent (Stephen Moyer) and besieged by numerous threatening cellular calls
Gripping, original action movie with Al Pacino desperately trying to find the means avoid to be murdered. Acceptable thriller full of intrigue and tense, this is a fast-paced, stylized action-suspense film. The tension of this picture keeps snowballing as the clock ticks ever close for continuous killings. The tale appears to unfold in real time as the many on cellular calls will verify. Most unusual is the device of having the victim play desperado and hunt the killer, and saving himself, as time runs out. The flick is well filmed in Seattle, Washington State and Vancouver ,British Columbia , Canada. Casting is frankly magnificent, Al Pacino as tormented psychiatrist, unsettling when approaches his last minutes of life, though Neal McDonough takes honors as a psychopath who attempts to turn the tables on the victims before Pacino can save them. Plus, a good secondary cast, such as William Forsythe, Deborah Kara Unger, and Stephen Moyer, among them. Adequate musical score accompanying the action by Ed Shearmur and inventively photographed by Denis Lenoir, both of whom share his skills in the following John Avnet’s movie ?Righteous kill? also with Al Pacino and Trilby Glover who again plays a defense attorney. The motion picture is regularly directed by John Avnet because of it contains some gaps and flaws. Avnet is a nice director who achieved his greatest success with ?Fried green tomatoes? and ?Up close and personal? and failures as ?The war?. He directed and produced some hits, though today also making TV movies as the excellent ?The uprising ? and television episodes.

“Four Rooms” Movie Review
“Four Rooms” Plot Summary
Four interlocking tales that take place in a fading hotel on New Year’s Eve.
Amazingly funny
This movie is almost too funny for words. It kept me laughing about it for ages after, and still does.
To start off with, Tim Roth who plays Ted the bellhop, is fantastic! The way he changes from being posh and upper class one minute and then the next minute uses his real voice, all slang and cockney. His character also seems to have a nervous jitter about him which will leave you laughing for ages.
Next, the first segment, ‘The Missing Ingredient’ – While it is funny, it’s the least ammusing out of the four segments. The story of how the witches are trying to unfreeze their goddess is ammusing and the little rhyme that the witch Eva recites : ‘Goddess Diana, fail you I will/ I was to bring you fresh sperm from my Bill/ I had him erect and his semen would follow/ Alas, I was hot, so hot that I swallowed. Therefore, obviously the other witches want eva to get sperm from Ted the bellhop. Check out for Madonna in this segment!
The second segment, ‘The Wrong Man’ – This segement shows Ted ending up in the wrong room, leading to having a gun pointed at his head. My favourite bit in particular from this segment was when Ted ended up half hanging out of the bathroom window squealing ‘HELP!’
The third segement, ‘The Misbehavers’ – This was incredibly funny. My two favourite bits from this segment was a) when the little girl made Ted realise how stupid he was when he realised that he could have washed the vapour rub off his eyelids when his babysitter used to do it to him whenhe was a child. and b) the line Ted screams down the room-service phone to the little girl that goes along the lines of, ‘If there’s not a dead body in that room by the time I get up there, I’m gonna make one!’
The last segment, ‘The Man from Hollywood’ – I found this the funniest segment of them all. Could be because Quentin Tarantino stars in this and I’m a big fan of his (that’s probably the reason I saw this in the first place). Ted finds himself going up to the penthouse with various odd items on his room-service trolley and ends up staying there and getting mixed up in a scheme made by Quentin Tarantino and Paul Calderon. Also, look out for Bruce Willis who’s there too but is uncredited. The trio are hysterical as a bunch of drunk guys on New Year’s Eve. Quentin Tarantino more or less plays himself – a famous director.
This movies is definately a must-see. I give it 10/10
