Again we hear from '1aa' about the 'cutbacks'! What are those? I know what a cutaway is, and what a flashback is, but as far as I know, a 'cutback' is only used in a budgetary sense. I've never heard it as a cinema term. I'm hoping '1aa'…
I couldn't quite understand why this was such a popular and highly regarded film. There are so many close ups and cutbacks I thought it was made for TV in 1987, the music didn't detract from the film, but didn't add to the film much…

Jodi Foster is perfect for this role and Anythony Hopkins is just Chilling! He Steals every ounce of screen time he's in (or should I say every ounce of blood!). The Ending was also a refreshing take compared to most crime/serial killer…

One of my favourite films and my favourite Jodie Foster role. I'd already seen the film many times before borrowing the Criterion Collection edition. I was in it for the bonus features which are numerous, interesting, and worthwhile.

THIS IS a beautifully assembled movie, just the right buildup of suspense all the way to the climax. The principal actors both give outstanding performances, the script is literate, unbelievably intense, with great insight into the…

When this film was released, it was quite the sensation./ The character played by Anthony Hopkins was thought to be nearly over the line of decency, and really frightening, too./ Recently, Ms. Foster was quoted as saying, 'i never met the…
Believe me - "Silence of the Lambs" is a totally laughable serial killer movie from 1991 that certainly takes itself way, way too seriously for its own good.
I mean, can you believe this one's even got an "intellectual" cannibal who…

This is a great movie and to compare this with other movies really clarify s the difference between a 5 star rating and a 3 or 4. Most movies which are pretty average should get a 3, a step up gets a 4 and ones like this are the real…
