Movie Reviews of Dead Again
Movie Review: These are for you
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a cut above the standard reincarnation story.
A mysterious woman (Emma Thompson) shows up with amnesia. Instead of committing her to a lively hospital, Mike Church (Kenneth Branagh) is a Los Angeles private detective and his photographer friend (Wayne Knight) help search for her past. Along comes a hypnotherapist (Derek Jacobi) to unleash a past life memory and Doctor Cozy Carlisle (Robin Williams) confirms it. So now we are stuck with two mysteries; who are you and what happened in your previous life?
You may want to watch this twice to see the clues you missed.
Just a note: the Japanese on the scissor box translates to "These are for you"

Hamlet [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Dead Again
Summary: 5 Stars
Loved this movie when it came out a few years ago and I will always love it.
The story is great, with lots of suspense, and the acting.....well!
Mr. Branagh is a superb and very engaging actor, enigmatic, beautiful voice and
in one of the roles he plays in the movie, carries a sense of humor that you can
tell it is all his own, and not to do with the plot..Robin Williams is not only
a fabulous comedian, but an accomplished and very intense actor.
Mr. Jacobi and Ms. Thompson are perfect in their roles and Mr. Garcia once more
proved that his cuban good looks and his acting should be more exploited by the
film industry.
Movie Review: Film Noir as only Branagh can do it
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie captures the world of Hitchcock and Bogart, in dramatic black and white (with color episodes) in a truly great presentation. Yes, the plot is threadbare, but no more so that those of Hitchcock's best, and irrelevant in any case, as the tension winds tighter and tighter, seeking a violent conclusion. Branagh is his usual self, so completely disappearing into his two roles, both with American accents, that he does not seem the same man who thrilled us in Henry V, delighted us in Much Ado, and took our breath away with Hamlet.See it on a dark, winter night, with the lights low, and your arms around someone you adore. You will NOT be disappointed!

Movie Review: Fast, facile fun
Summary: 5 Stars
with a well crafted script, good actors at the heights of their powers and brisk no nonsense direction. Emma Thompson has done better work since but Kenneth Branagh hasn't unfortunately.
Too bad really. Branagh may still be a pretty good director but I think working with Emma is what lent him an appeal and warmth on screen that he has not been able to recapture. His Hamlet was glossy, chilly, unpleasant and too old. Nevertheless, I'm grateful that we at least have this, as well as his Henry V and Much Ado About Nothing.
Movie Review: The memory of Shakespeare!
Summary: 5 Stars
The undeniable talent of Kenneth Branagh is carved in relief with this original and astonishing thriller with close features to Noir genre.
An investigation around a woman who has lost her memory will lead by the dark passages of the mind to unexpected results. High caliber tension, an intelligent script, a fabulous edition and a top-notch cast will conform one of the most successful entries in 1991, a film that deserves a special honor seat at the moment to review the best artistic achievements in that year.
