VHS Movie Reviews of Immortality
Movie Review: Goofball horror flick ?
Summary: 1 Stars
Yeah, that's my question. Maybe it's because I've never liked Jude Law's acting; no, wait a minute, I (Heart) Huckabees! was a good one. This one stunk! End of Review. 0 help to no one.Movie Review: An Unusual Horror Film
Summary: 3 Stars
Immortality or also known as "The Wisdom of Crocodiles" is an unusual approach to the old tale of a vampire who suffers from a chronic disorder:
Mortality and the thirst for blood. The main character played by Jude Law
provides an interesting character of both human and monster. And the story
it self provides enough entertaining value to keep the viewer interested in the story. All actors show their talents and make the story line believable. Although the pace of the plot appears to move a little on the slow side, it is at least worth 3 stars for the fan of horror and terror films.
Movie Review: Hot!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're addicted to Jude Law like I am, and also love vampire movies, then this is a must see! Jude Law is incredibly hot and sexy in this movie. Its a love story, although scripted in a very different fashion being from a vampire's perspective I guess. Even as a vampire, Jude Law is to die for!!!Movie Review: Immortality- At a Price
Summary: 2 Stars
This is yet another film I purchased because Jack Davenport is in the cast. His part is very small and his haircut is not so good. But he does exhibit some sexy, boyish charm. Jude Law is the star of the film about a vampire who preys on vulnerable women. He is creepy and maipulative and feeds on love. He believes if he can find a woman to love him "perfectly", he will stop. There are some very bloody scenes and one tracheotomy scene that is absurd. I suppose it is an interesting variation on the vampire theme.
Movie Review: Wisdom of Crocs
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie from say 1998. At first I wasn't sure about whether I liked it or not. It is now one of my favorite Jude Law movies. This movie portrays a man who is mysterious, vampirish, soul-less but finds the person which brings him into a soulful relationship and even with a conflicted mind as to how to deal with it. I love this movie. Great acting.
Summary of Immortality
Jude Law makes the term emotional vampire literal in this somber, restrained tale of a modern-day bloodsucker in London. As the improbably named medical researcher Steven Grlscz (pronounced "grilsh"), he's a cool charmer who woos lonely women and feeds off them at the height of their emotional intensity. He begins his seduction of Elina L?wensohn (who played a vampire herself in Nadja) just as relentless police detective Timothy Spall starts an investigation of him for the murder of his former lover Kerry Fox. It's the start of an unusual battle of wits.Equal parts AIDS metaphor, ancient myth with a modern twist, and shrewd mind game, Immortality (originally released as The Wisdom of Crocodiles) is an art-movie interpretation of the vampire myth, too chic and bloodless to be compelling but curiously fascinating in its way. Leong Po-chih directs with clockwork precision and emotional restraint, elegantly creating a handsome but impersonal world where Grlscz's painful need for love is an extreme symptom of modern life. Law plays his part as a fascinating paradox, hiding his feelings and schemes behind a mask of impenetrable ennui that periodically bursts in a gush of sorrow and disappears just as fast, while L?wensohn is almost as hard to read with her angular face and unusual accent. The meticulous detail and cool images make this more a dispassionate mind game than a horror movie, where the ideas never quite come to life but become a curious enigma. --Sean Axmaker
