Horror Bob Presents: The Horror Review - Horror Bob's Review of "Fallen Angels"  (2007) Fallen Angels is about an old prison that is about to be demolished, however a discovery is made beneath the western part of the prison in a sub basement that has not been used for over a hundred years. While Fallen Angels is a very simple story, the plot may become confusing at some points, but once it's clear that we know that the demons represent all the deadly sins, the biblical and demonic history is made clear. Fallen Angels is a dark and creepy independent horror film that brings fear to the next level. www.horrorreview.com /2007/fallenangels2007.html   (1024 words)

Slant Magazine - Film Review: Fallen Angel Fallen Angel, the director's follow-up to his 1944 classic, is often predictably looked down as a lesser genre venture, yet its subtle analysis of shadowy tropes proves both a continuation and a deepening of Preminger's use of moral ambiguity as a tool of human insight. Linda Darnell, a provocative bombshell caught behind the counter of a small-town California roadside café, is the flame around which the picture's male moths circle, though the titular fallen angel is later revealed to be tainted drifter Dana Andrews, who comes to town and becomes quickly smitten with her. Fallen Angel may not satisfy genre fans who like their noir with fewer gray zones, but the director's take on obsession remains no less fascinating for trading suspense for multilayered lucidity. www.slantmagazine.com /film/film_review.asp?ID=2122   (330 words)

Review: Fallen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Fallen's plot is brimming with potential, not all of which is realized. Both appear to be sleepwalking their way through the parts, as if they know that their contribution to the film is one of advancing the plot rather than developing a multi-dimensional individual. In addition, Fallen is saddled with the same kind of disgustingly bland, generic theology embraced by numerous movies and TV shows like Touched by an Angel. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/f/fallen.html   (900 words)

The Wages of Sin The story of the fallen woman was a staple of film melodrama in the late 1920s and 1930s. In The Wages of Sin, Lea Jacobs uses the fallen woman film, which served as a focal point for public criticism of the film industry, to explore Hollywood's system of self-censorship and the evolution of the rules governing representations of sexuality. Lea Jacobs is Associate Professor of Film at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. www.ucpress.edu /books/pages/6948.html   (222 words)

Film Fest Journal: Building Heaven, Remembering Earth: Confessions of a Fallen Architect, 1999 Oliver Hockenhull's voluptuous, textural, and thematically (and experientially) dense essay film is an intricately constructed, stream-of-consciousness meditation on architecture, memory, immortality, and transcendence. From the film's introductory anecdote on the first book of architecture, a ten-volume documentation of buildings, machines, and timepieces, Hockenhull presents an implicit interconnection between architecture and time, both serving as materialized representations of projection, shadows, and geometric space. It is this complex interconnection of functionality and meaning that is inevitably embodied by the egg-shaped stone that punctuates the film, an eternal, indefinable object that curiously encapsulates the genesis, mortality, human imprint, and metaphysical enigma of a greater, and unfathomably more complex, immortal design. filmref.com /journal/archives/2005/03/building_heaven_remembering_ea.html   (773 words)

Vault 1 - Review: Fallen Angels Two months before the film was released, I chanced upon a magazine article detailing what the plot was to have been - a surreal, moody piece with an overpowering lyricism that threatened to best all the previous hyper-romanticism of his earlier works. As the film closes, he again chances upon Reis' agent, and the two lonely, disillusioned individuals share a moment of warmth as the darkened skies and the Hong Kong skyline fades into fl.... This later film is both a testament of his unwavering visionary talent, and a profoundly disturbing amalgamation of the real-life cries of the dispossessed souls he chronicles so very well. www.geocities.com /Hollywood/Academy/4824/fallen.html   (2082 words)

The Wages of Sin: Censorship and the Fallen Woman Film 1928-1942   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Ignorance may also explain why LA reader attacks Jacobs for not having watched a film that no longer exists, and then ignores the fact that she painstakingly reconstructs the film as accurately as possible from available evidence (screenplays, studio memoranda, case files). The truth is that the fallen women films of the early thirties explored sensitive subject matter, were protofeminist, and that the sentiments expressed therein -- the notion, for example, that sex before marriage was acceptable -- soon became mainstream in women's films, at least until the intrusion of censorship. She writes from an ignorance of the era and comes to conclusions about censorship that are wrong and conclusions about women's place in the late twenties and early thirties cinema that are not only specious but baseless, formed out of nothing but guesswork. www.textkit.com /0_0520207904.html   (871 words)

Toronto International Film Festival   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) In Fallen, iconoclastic German director Fred Kelemen ventures deep into the psyche of an average man tormented by a sin of omission and an unconsummated love. Fallen is thus also a film portrait of Riga, its textures and rhythms deeply imprinted on the sights and sounds of Kelemen's spiritual treatise. His feature films are Fate (94), Frost (98), which shared the FIPRESCI Prize at the 1998 International Film Festival Rotterdam, Nightfall (99) and Fallen (05). www.e.bell.ca /filmfest/2005/films_description.asp?id=95   (435 words)

indiayogi.com - Movie Mythology - Fallen - Mythology at Movies, Not All Angeles are Good, movie mythology, policeman, ... The film Fallen is one of the best films dealing with moral issues that has been made in far too long a time. Fallen brings back the totally unfashionable notion of the existence of evil and forces us to examine what it means in a spiritual sense. The film begins conventionally enough as a detective attends the last request of a convicted killer about to be executed that he be met by the man who captured him. www.indiayogi.com /content/mythology/f_fallen.asp   (1512 words)

Fallen At the beginning of the film we hear that we are going to be told a story about a time when “I almost died.” You don’t know for sure what this means till the end though. Fallen is a very interesting and suspenseful film. My only beef with the film would concern belief in the supernatural elements of the movie, but if you grant the suspension of believability as I did, then the film plays out like a finely tuned piano. www.about-movies.com /movies/1998/fallen.htm   (382 words)

Fallen The spookiness of this film is even greater for those that are religious in nature and believe in evil spirits among us. But with a good performance from Denzel Washington, Fallen is a movie that really scared me, which is what it was supposed to do. The subject matter of Fallen will leave a lot of people with goose bumps on their arms and nightmares in their sleep. www.ticon.net /~bugzy/mr0045.html   (461 words)

newtimesbpb.com | | Film | Fallen Angels | 1998-03-12 It's probably the best film he's ever directed; the rue and desperation in it were deeply felt. We're supposed to see Harry as a fallen angel -- he once was a husband, a father, and a cop -- but he seems more like an over-the-hill Kato Kaelin. Benton may not be able to differentiate between the two anymore; for him, as for a lot of veteran directors, and younger ones too, films have become the touchstone for experience. www.newtimesbpb.com /issues/1998-03-12/film.html   (1025 words)

Film & TV: Hard Rain, The Tango Lesson, Fallen (Gambit Weekly . 02-09-98) January and February are historically pretty good months for movie-watching in New Orleans because all the hyped movies of the Christmas season are commonly settling out into the watchable and the already departed, and local exhibitors are scrambling for replacement product while the industry runs ads for the Oscar hopefuls. Gregory Hoblit's Fallen is the story of a good-hearted cop facing an unfathomable evil. If there were no God, this film might have gone on forever here on Earth as it surely does in hell. www.weeklywire.com /ww/02-09-98/gambit_balc.html   (1411 words)

Love In A Fallen City - DVD Review There was human drama present in John's films and Chow rarely missed a beat when it came to having perform that aspect of the films. Not being prepared certainly doesn't hurt the film, nor is not knowing much of Chinese family values and the way setting up marriages work but I must warn you that you have to listen carefully to fully take in what Ann Hui is communicating to us. It's more a film for Hong Kong people than for Westerners but the themes at their core are not restricted to Asian culture only. www.sogoodreviews.com /reviews/loveinafallencity.htm   (2096 words)

DVD Reviews - Ashes of Time, Fallen Angels & Happy Together Wong is one of the most extraordinarily visual stylists in film, and with each film he seems to get even more stylized. From the opening shots of the film, we are treated to nothing short of an assault of images, where we are introduced to the main characters, and what stands as a story. Some of Wong's films (not reviewed here) are available on DVD as HK imports, but you'll have to make a bit of an effort to find them. www.thedigitalbits.com /reviews/wongkarwaiseries.html   (2087 words)

'Fallen' director can get up Now, with his second feature, "Fallen," Hoblitt has made a large advance on the promise of his debut -- a film more serious in tone than "Primal Fear," but with a similar kinetic energy and very deft balancing of supernatural elements with a noirish detective story. "Fallen" may be, quite simply, the most authentically frightening and intelligent horror film to emerge from Hollywood since "The Exorcist," but it is something Hoblitt has been working toward for a long time. The film is purely cinematic, and Hoblitt demonstrates a strong sense of style and understanding of screen language. www.usc.edu /student-affairs/dt/V133/N06/04-fallen.06d.html   (1406 words)

houstonpress.com | | Film | Fallen Angels | 2000-11-02 Barrymore, Diaz and Liu are lost in a film that fails on both the action and camp fronts. A Mission: Impossible-style prelude suggests a live-action cartoon as directed by Robert Altman; a camera stalks the aisles of a jumbo jet, capturing snippets of scenery, from the bitchy, fey flight attendants to the couple sneaking into the john to enroll in the mile-high club to an in-flight screening of T.J. Hooker: The Movie. It's very likely that during the film's final scene, in which Bosley is seen drinking a tropical cocktail, Murray is really drunk; anything to ease the pain. www.houstonpress.com /issues/2000-11-02/film.html   (650 words)

INKPOT MOVIE REVIEWS: FALLEN (Wen-Qing) FALLEN doesn't attempt to explode the whole world into that nearly apocalyptic environment, but it doesn't achieve much suspense either, nor the insidious fear of some imperceptible yet ever-present evil hove ring in the world of man. FALLEN is about decorated cop John Hobbes who begins the film with a voice-over "I wanna tell you about the time I almost died"... The film has got a hint of noir to it and some notions of horror, and Denzel's wise-guy sideways smile and jaunty voice never seem to settle into the anguished and weary tones of another Afri can American actor like Morgan Freeman... www.inkpot.com /film/fallen.html   (1547 words)

CGProShop - Fallen Art DVD - Platige Image It is still the same technique Tomek used in the previous film, although stylistically very different from the climate of "The Cathedral". The film is available in two HD resolutions: first 1280x720 (720p) and the second 1920x1080 (1080p).

G-21 TREND BENDS: Black & Blue On Film Fallen relies on the concept that humanity is being manipulated by wicked spirits that were cast out of heaven at the dawn of history. The story of Fallen occurs within a fairly compacted time period which is generally good for a quick and insistent pace, yet even with the constraints of time and pressure placed on the protagonist the plot did not conjure a sense of suspenseful urgency. The purpose and identity of a film can be profundity, pornography, documentation, or simply inciting needed laughter, eyebrow raising, or suspense within a society that has expressed a definitive need to periodically escape into grottos that project images and, for the most part, sounds. www.g21.net /tb4.html   (1778 words)

Fallen - Evanescence, Music Downloads - Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Fallen FROM CONNECT - Music Downloads Powered by Sony. Review: Fallen is the major-label debut of Evanescence, a Little Rock, AR-based quartet led by the soaring vocals of 20-year-old Amy Lee. In fact, almost half of Fallen's 11 songs are piano-driven ballads that suggest Tori Amos if she wore too much mascara and recorded for the Projekt label. musicstore.connect.com /album/501/Evanescence/Fallen/500000000000020579030.html   (245 words)

Fallen (2002) = A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review. As I said in my review of that film: "The premise of the film is based on a passage in Revelation which states, 'When the thousand years have ended, Satan will be released from his prison. The film has been called a theological disaster because two key elements of the plot do not relate to Christian theology. I have analyzed the film from that viewpoint. www.hollywoodjesus.com /fallen.htm   (878 words)

Fallen || by Ryan Jeffery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Fallen is a 7 minute short film by Portland artist Ryan Jeffery.

New York State Writers Institute - Fallen Idol Film Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) This is a dark, endlessly mysterious film, just as challenging to audiences now as it was in 1948 — and just as rewarding, for this is a film which offers flourishes of style at every turn, in acting, cinematography, scene design, and editing. His short story, "The Basement Room," on which the film was based, was one of the most despairing and pessimistic works of an author who was consistently obsessed with themes of guilt and failed redemption. This film is screened in honor of the centenary of Graham Greene's birth on October 2, 1904. www.albany.edu /writers.inst/fnf04n2.html   (678 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Fallen [1998]: DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Even if the film is ultimately less than the sum of its parts, it's an intriguing hybrid that resides in the same cinematic neighbourhood as Seven and The Silence of the Lambs with a cast that also includes Donald Sutherland and James Gandolfini. This stylish and extremely well crafted film is one of the most underated movies ever.It has it all, with subtle and realistic performances from an excellent blend of actors including Denzel Washington, a thoughtful John Goodman and the ever unfathomable Donald Sutherland. The film's pace is deliberately steady but never, never lets up as it gradually winds it way on to it's conclusion, where we have the final and best twist of this laconic classic. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004CXIA   (1458 words)

Film Review: Fallen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) The running joke of this film is that George not so much flies from tree to tree but smashes into the trees, or anything upright for that matter. There is lots of physical, knockabout humour with people regularly being bopped on the head, while the special effects department have gone to great lengths to make George's elephant behave like a excitable dog - another one joke wonder. Perhaps the best part of the film is when George ends up in the urban jungle of San Francisco. www.iofilm.co.uk /fm/f/fallen_1997.shtml   (373 words)
