Mini Review: The Bourne Ultimatum
Bourne Ultimatum: what a fucking load of bollocks that turned out to be. The first part of the movie is excellent (lovely building-up, making full use of the lack of privacy anxiety), but then the climaxes start: I’m surprised you could stomach those, to me it felt as if Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer had [...]

Venus in Furs (Dallamano directs Laura Antonelli)

An American Haunting
Because accidental visitors of Delirium Vault shouldn’t get too good an impression of this place, let’s review An American Haunting.

Persepolis
I wish I could write a lengthy new review, but you see, there’s a writers’ strike going on and we can’t do too much new material. However, us writers are allowed to warm up old material, which comes in pretty handy as we’ve just witnessed the end of 2007 and it’s high time for our [...]
