...stylish Billa was, and how great the cinematography was. What do you think? Slow motion shots of guns and swords falling down, and people walking around wearing dark glasses... is not style. Malaysia has spectacular locales... and showing a bleached version of it is not good cinematography. If that were the case, the Hollywood crockpot "Three...

...stylish and too goofy. Alan Moyle's low-key but densely plotted stoner flick involving murder, drugs and Satanists is more quiet smiley moments than laugh-out-loud funny ones My Winnipeg - 9/10 Guy Maddin's loopy tribute to his home town and varied nooks and crannies of his own psyche is the auteurs most accessible film to date and also...

...stylish and very prophetic movie Lang's research for the movie was incredibly detailed, using cutting-edge scientific theory on rocket science to give the space travel plot credibility. In fact, the theory on display in the movie was so realistic that the movie was banned in Nazi Germany, with the authorities fearing it would compromise...

...stylish from the start. Enjoyed the crew of Shaun Of The Dead again. The cast is perfect for this movie. Even every face of the actor is matching the characters and have almost cartoonish looks: they look like they are from Wallace and Gromit. A lot of famous actors are in this movie, including Timothy Dalton, Bill Nighy, Martin Freeman (...

...stylish direction that's never as stylish as it thinks it is. Sometimes he even attempts to evoke memories of the game itself, but, seriously now, how much cool posturing, pointless slo-mo, and third-person POV shots of the back of the head of a bald guy with a barcode tattooed on it walking down a hallway must we see? For that matter, an...

...stylish Art Deco sets. Its widely acknowledged as one if not THE best of Astaire and Rogers collaborations together, and it certainly possesses some of the best-loved songs most notably Cheek to Cheek (that feather dress!) and Top Hat, White Tie, and Tails. The typically preposterous plot is silly beyond belief but enormous fun once you give...

Clark looked equally convincing handling a wide variety of firearms and females, projected an engaging cockiness and, topping it off, looked pretty damn...

...stylish dolly shots and applying an extreme wide angle lens to the aforementioned scenes with Ms. Keaton and the satanists. But it's not enough. The real value of this film is a historical record of the attempts of a prodigiously talented director to stay afloat in a rapidly changing industry where the demand for graphic violence and explicit...
