Luc Besson
Shawn Glinis takes a look at the recent home video releases of Luc Besson’s Anna, John Carpenter’s Vampires (1998) and Roger Corman’s A Bucket of Blood (1959).
Anna just isn’t quite the fun thrill ride that one might have hoped for, suffering from a disorganized plot, characters devoid of personality, and less-than-stellar action.
Much like Neil Breen’s current filmography, the horribly-titled The Trough definitely has cult movie potential if it ever hits the underground festival circuit.
Though visually enticing, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is bogged down by a bloated script and poorly written characters.
The Fifth Element 20 years later: it’s still the packed with resplendent imagery, inventive art direction, and some well edited set pieces.
