Death In Venice


Director: Luchino Visconti;
?Death in Venice? is adapted from a novel of the same name by Thomas Mann. The mood of this film is set immediately the opening credits roll, with the use of rather maudlin music by Gustav Mahler to set the tone of this downbeat and depressing film with a strong adult […]

Pirates of the Carribean - Curse of the Black Pearl


“Pirates of the Carribean” is based on the themepark ride of the same name at Disneyland. I rememeber seeing details on Disneyland on TV many years ago into the making of this ride. Little did I think that I would see a film based on the ride years later. “The Black Pearl” […]
