Get Rich or Die Tryin' |

Was intrigued by this. I loved the way, you really felt the tension in the first forty minutes of the film, as the camera never really leaves the house. Looked up in the A-Z to see where this place wa...

Phedre |
More than a little harrowing. Made an episode of the streets look like a Sunday afternoon ice cream in the Park. Theseus is one brute of an actor. Loved the way he would just suddenly explode mid sent...
