This film is one of the best satires on Hollywood ever made. Only Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard beats it. Tim Robbin's is a movie executive who screenwriters come to get there scripts made into films. When he starts receiving death threats from a screenwriter he turned down in the past his life takes a dramatic turn for the worst. The thriller plot is great but conversations about films overheard in the background of the movie are partly what make this a very interesting film to watch again and again. The main character murders someone in cold blood. Only a truly great filmmaker could make us care for him and take his side throughout. This film is a marvellously devilish satire.

This film is an excellent shocker, which is more than I can say for most contemporary horror films. The style in which its shot keeps the viewer on edge until the end and the soundtrack adds to the heightened feeling of terror Alexandre Aja has created another great modern slasher horror movie. Be warned this film is not for the faint hearted but a must see for any horror fan. Alexandre Aja is part of The Splat pack who all look up to and worship Tarantino so it is not surprising that the violence is so superbly gritty.

Wild At Heart is as David Lynch describes it, a road romance movie that takes you on a journey along a twisted highway in the modern world. If I had to describe wild at heart in three words I would say powerful, wild and romantic. It is very different to any other lynch films as it largely makes sense and has a lighter feeling to it as well as a few very disturbing scenes. The cast is star studded and excellent. Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern and Willem Dafoe are captivating. Diane Laddâ
