Stuart Gordon, considered a master of the horror genre thanks to classics like Re-Animator and Dagon, decides to do a different move in this strange trip to human morals. "King of the Ants" is about a regular guy, Sean Crawley(newcomer Chris McKenna), a man without any aspiration who just live in his apartment doing the necessary job to live to the next day. In one of his jobs he meets Duke(Gearge Wendt), who introduces Sean to his boss, Ray Matthews(played by Daniel Baldwin). Ray hires Sean as a spy, and orders him to follow Eric Gatlin(Roy Livingstone), an accountant who has been investigating Ray's company. Problems start when Ray, while drunk, orders Sean to kill Eric. And he does it. Things go wrong when Ray decides to make Sean disappear destroying his mind with violent punishment and humiliation. From the point where Sean kills Eric, we go in the same boat with him, as he goes through a downward spiral of human degradation, traveling from guilt, to confusion and finally to his rebirth, in a state where humanity, morals and values are not important anymore. Chris McKenna acting is very important because he manages to be likable even when he is part of gruesome acts, both as victim and/or criminal. He has that look of innocence that hides a dark side and he manages to carry the film. The support cast also includes Kari Wuhrer, as Eric's widow who also becomes a central part of Sean's trip to hell. She gives a fine performance, although it's obvious that Sean is the main character. He is the most developed of all and McKenna's performance is up to the challenge. The film has very disturbing images of violence, and while it may not be as graphic as "Kill Bill" for example, the strength of the violence is in the lack of humanity that the character manifest. He is more than an ant in this world. He is the king. Stuart Gordon has managed to create a film that, while maybe it's not one of his best efforts; it's very well done, has a VERY interesting story to tell, and manages to capture the attention every second of it.

影片以18世纪罗马尼亚的地下秘密组织“兄弟会”为线索,该组织密谋推翻贵族政府为目的。影片拍摄时期为罗马尼亚共产党执政时期,对“兄弟会”进行颂扬。当时的罗马尼亚受到法国大革命的影响,民族主义运动兴起。片中的“兄弟会”酝酿发动革命推翻贵族统治,而黄玫瑰则帮助 “兄弟会”与贵族军队作战。影片本来要拍成《007》那样的系列电影,但是因为后来罗马尼亚政局变化,电影业私有化,最后只拍到了第八部。 影片风格是美国西部片式的。男主角马尔杰拉图神出鬼没,神勇无比,为“兄弟会”出生入死。他不停地嗑瓜子动作,成为他的招牌。扮演马尔杰拉图的演员叫弗洛林·彼耶尔西克,据说,他在罗马尼亚电影表演界的地位,与现在的罗马尼亚电影创作协会主席塞尔裘·尼古莱斯库相当。片中的黄玫瑰很像个美国牛仔。比如,他的枪法很好,还会趴在地上听马蹄声,而且片中还出现了西部片必然会有的场面:群马追击四轮马车和酒馆里的群架。唯一不同的是,这个牛仔不爱叼雪茄,却喜欢嗑瓜子。他嗑瓜子的镜头深深印在了中国人的脑海里,即使他们早已忘记了影片的剧情,也不会忘记这个动作。 女主角阿卡塔是著名的演员,性感、风流、直率、刚勇、不择手段,为了盖剧院筹集资金而为当局效劳,成为“黄玫瑰”的劲敌。阿卡塔的扮演着MARGA BARBU是罗马尼亚享有盛誉的著名演员,是该片编剧的妻子。她于2009.2.28死于心脏病。
《三王來朝》讲述三王来朝拜耶稣诞生的时候,但电影不是去歌颂这段故事,而是用了十分平板的手法去描述,三王更只不过是普通的人,大部份时间就是描述他们千辛万苦去寻找耶稣诞生地,及遇到的难题,而最大的难题是莫过于在山林中迷路及找路。 在近年众多新星导演之中,西班牙加泰罗尼亚导演Albert Serra算是较具争议性的一人。因为他的电影是如此简约,甚至可说是简陋,即使有不少人大力推崇 (如法国的 “电影笔记” 便曾把导演上一部 “Honour of the Knights” (唐吉诃德) [2006] 选为2007年最佳电影第七位),但也有人质疑他只是趁着当下慢板长镜头当道的艺术电影潮流故弄玄虚,制作出件件国王的新衣。
十四岁的约翰从小就生长在修道院中,没有亲人,亦没有过去。一天,一位神秘的妇人安吉拉(玛利亚·若奥·巴斯托斯 Maria João Bastos 饰)找到了约翰,声称自己是他的亲生母亲,并且向约翰讲述了她曾经的故事。 安吉拉是侯爵的女儿,她和伯爵之子席尔瓦(何塞·阿方索·皮蒙特尔 José Afonso Pimentel 饰)相爱,遭到了父亲的强烈反对。然而,叛逆的安吉拉并没有屈服,她腹中怀着席尔瓦的孩子,决定与其私奔。暴怒的侯爵派出杀手刺杀席尔瓦,甚至连安吉拉腹中的胎儿也不放过,幸运的是,安吉拉得到了一位神父和令一位神秘人的帮助,约翰才得以长大。成年之后,约翰来到巴黎,遇见了一位贵妇,他答应帮助贵妇找到杀死她哥哥的凶手,让约翰没有想到的是,这名凶手竟然正是当初帮助过他和他母亲的神秘人。
当约瑟夫准备加入以色列军队服兵役时,发现自己不是父母的亲身儿子,在他出生时,他与约旦河西岸的一个巴勒斯坦家庭的小孩亚辛换错了。因这一发现,两个家庭的生活突然发生了翻天覆地的变化,这一发现迫使他们重新思考各自的身份、价值和信念。 本片围绕着巴以冲突这个历史悠久而且无法得到有效解决的问题展开,本该互相敌视的两个家庭阴差阳错的抱错了孩子并且把他们分别抚养成人——优秀的人。于是,在本片中,我们看到了民族的敌意,宗教的排斥,但是更多的是互相理解和接受的过程。“我不再是犹太人了,但是我也不是阿拉伯人。”在这样的命题下,我们发现解决这种棘手问题似乎只有一个出发点——在成为“什么人”之前首先成为一个“人”。
