HALLE BERRY AND BRUCE WILLIS STAR IN
PERFECT STRANGER - opening on April 13th



"Perfect Stranger" focuses on Rowena Price (Halle Berry), a reporter for a major New York City newspaper who goes undercover to investigate the unsolved murder of one of her childhood friends. The path leads her directly into the office and the personal life of multi-millionaire Harrison Hill (Bruce Willis), CEO of a powerful advertising agency. Investigating him from all angles, Rowena assumes new identities in life and on line. She then harnesses the devastatingly effective tools of cyberspace in an attempt to bring her victim to justice.

Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
PERFECT STRANGER (in Film)
Perfect Stranger, which star Oscar winner Halle Berry, the set up is so pretentious and absurd that you can answer the riddle to this film is solved when you eliminate the obvious.



DISTRUBIA(in Film)
Filled with romance, intense, and intrigue, director Caruso has updated a clichéd story into a modern pleasing thriller.



ARE WE DONE YET? (in Film)
Ice Cube forgot to add the comedy that worked in the first film instead of relying on elements from other films.



The Hoax (in Film)
Hallstrom manages to unfold historical events through the eyes of his complex character; with a mounting tension that keeps the audience riveted until the end.



BLACK BOOK (Zwartboek) (in Film)
Black book might be the first flick to interpret a Holocaust tale of survival as a highly-stylized, erotic, espionage thriller.



The TV Set (in Film)
An eye-opening satire which makes a powerful statement about television’s
tendency towards very calculated, mass manipulation.



After the Wedding (in Film)
A paradoxical, if ultimately plausible portrait of a fractured family whose emotions can not be contained when the skeletons finally come bursting out of the closet.


The Lookout (in Film)
The Lookout is a film that actually asks the audience to get involved and engage in discourse.


Killer of Sheep (in Film)
This super-realistic, slice-of-life drama stands up just fine, delivering a more accurate peek at the psyche and predicament of the black male.


U-Carmen (in Film)
U-Carmen effectively conveys a sense of everyday life in the region’s Khayelistha Township while simultaneously serving up an endearing variation of a magical opera for the ages.


PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS DVD REVIEW (in Film)
Will Smith exudes an endearing charm reminiscent of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, here, so expect to laugh as much as you cry during this touching tearjerker.


ROCKY BALBOA DVD REVIEW (in Film)
Rocky Balboa, though technically the sixth in the series, sure seems an awful lot like a remake of the first film in the storied franchise.

SHOOTER (in Film)
While Walhberg provides plenty of action, there’s no substance to a convoluted plot and a hackneyed ending.

PRIDE (in Film)
Well-intentioned, at best, Pride, regrettably, doesn’t show enough brotherly love for anyone to be proud of it.


RUN'S HOUSE DVD REVIEW (in Film)
The Complete Seasons 1 & 2 Review


I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE (in Film)
Worse is the fact that the picture isn’t funny. It essentially consists of a series of vaguely-familiar skits ostensibly lifted from a variety of other cinematic adventures.


THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY (in Film)
A cinematic masterpiece from start to finish but a righteous rallying cry for disenfranchised masses anywhere with nothing left to lose but their chains.

BEYOND THE GATES (in Film)
A relentlessly-grim reminder of how the world simply watched when it would have been so easy to put an end to the madness.

THE PAGE TURNER (in Film)
A suspenseful psychological thriller which rates right up there with the best of the genre.

Wondrous Oblivion DVD (in Film)

A touching rites-of-passage tale which simultaneously sends valuable messages about friendship, fidelity, tolerance, and reaching for the stars.

Blood Diamond DVD (in Film )

The movie is at heart a high body-count adventure although it is also heavily layered with sentimental subplots at every turn.
