comments:
Monica Bellucci is one of the world's most beautiful and sexiest women. That's it, that's all, we don't need more reasons. We'd become her love slave if she asked us (and we hope she does).

Monica Bellucci was the star of Malena and 20 other Italian films. She played Gary Oldman's castle vampire in Dracula and appeared in Under Suspicion with Gene Hackman and in The Matrix Reloaded and in The Matrix Revolutions.

Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001)

Title: Brotherhood of the Wolf
... aka Pacte des loups, Le
Released: 2001
Genre: Action / Horror / Thriller / Adventure / Crime / Mystery
Runtime: 142 min
Country: France
Language: French / German / Italian

Plot Summary: In 1765 something was stalking the mountains of south-western France. A 'beast' that pounced on humans and animals with terrible ferocity. Indeed they beast became so notorious that the King of France dispatched envoys to find out what was happening and to kill the creature. By the end, the Beast of Gevaudan had killed over 100 people, to this day, no one is entirely sure what it was, wolf? hyena? or something supernatural? Whatever it was, shepherds had the same life-expectancy as the red-suited guys in 'Star Trek'. The Beast is a popular myth in France, albeit one rooted firmly in reality; somewhat surprisingly it is little known to the outside world, and perhaps incredibly it has never been made into a movie. Until now... Based on the true story of the Beast of the Gevaudan that terrorised France in the mid-XVIIIth century, the movie aims to tell first and explain afterwards. In the first part, a special envoy of the King of France, altogether biologist, explorer and philosopher, arrives in the Gevaudan region, in the mountainous central part of France. The Beast has been attacking women and children for months and nobody has quite been able to harm it or even take a good look at it. In the second part, our hero Chevalier de Fronsac will not only have to fight the Beast, but also ignorance, bigotry and conspiracy and will rely on two women, one an aristocrat, the other a prostitute, as well as the enigmatic Mani, an Iroquois he met in New-France (Canada).

Comments: The ultimate French action film. Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) has to be the ultimate French action film. Not only is the direction superb but the action director Phillip Kwok stages some of the best fights that I have seen in awhile. How can you go wrong with state of the art action scenes and a naked Monica Bellucci? You can't. Besides Dobermann, this has to be the best French action flick around. This movie has everything you can want. The photography is excellent and the editing is sharp and edgy. Highly recommended! A+
P.S. Monica Bellucci is so hot, she's on fire in this one!!

Malèna (2000)

Title: Malèna
Released: 2000
Genre: Drama / Romance
Runtime: Italy:109 min / USA:92 min
Country: USA / Italy
Language: Italian / Latin

Tagline: A world at war. A young man coming of age. And the woman who changed his life forever

Plot Summary: On the day in 1940 that Italy enters the war, two things happen to the 12-year-old Renato: he gets his first bike, and he gets his first look at Malèna, a beautiful, silent outsider who's moved to this Sicilian town to be with her husband Nico who promptly goes off to war, leaving her to the lustful eyes of the men and the sharp tongues of the women. During the next few years, as Renato grows toward manhood, he watches Malèna suffer and prove her mettle: her loneliness, then grief when Nico is reported dead, the effects of slander on her relationship with her father, her poverty and search for work, and final humiliations. Will Renato learn courage from Malèna and stand up for her?

Comments: Monica Bellucci is super sexy in a very good film. The person who should get the most credit in this film is the one who gave Bellucci those dresses to wear. (yum) The story of young obsession is one that is close to my heart. I remember being a young teenager in love with a certain girl or woman. She is all you think about.
Giuseppe Sulfaro does an awesome job as Malena's admirer from a distance. Malena goes through many struggles and depressing moments in her tortured life. Some people don't like the ending of the movie wear Malena is beaten by a gang for her choices. That scene is a true to life event because it actually happened to women at the end of WW2 who made the same choices. How Malena is able to restore her pride and womanhood is a wonderful moment. 8/10

Under Suspicion (2000)

Title: Under Suspicion
Released: 2000
Genre: Crime / Drama
Runtime: 110 min
Country: USA / France
Language: English / Italian / Spanish

Tagline: Everyone has secrets. Some of them are crimes.

Plot Summary: While San Juan celebrates San Sebastian's Feast, recently-divorced and world-weary police captain Victor Benezet calls in prominent attorney Henry Hearst to clarify his statement about discovering the body of a girl of about 12, the second such murder in two weeks. As Hearst answers unconvincingly, Benezet reveals circumstantial evidence: the lawyer is under suspicion. The interrogation strips away Hearst's dignity, public persona, and even his toupee, exposing a breech with his beautiful and much younger wife, questionable sexual predilections and a damning hobby. Then, Hearst's wife volunteers information that confirms police suspicions. Is Hearst finally at the breaking point?

Comments: Great Movie. This was a breath of fresh air! As it had both Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman listed as Executive Producers AND it was financed by TF1 - so there was a French influence - I was dying to see what they would do with themselves. The result was a wonderful did-he/didn't-he cop and suspect drama that always seemed bigger than the few people on screen. The plot, or rather our suspicions and Freeman's frustration and triumph roller coaster twist and turn so that you're never quite sure. Yet, it was not as annoying as some of that type of film can be as it did not deliberately mislead. Rather, it displayed the evidence being told with the interrogator right there in the picture - a device that I had not seen before. Whether it is correct that a couple of American cops would be playing detective in San Juan I have no idea; apart from that the plot hung together remarkably well. And the ending? One of the best I have ever seen in a film of this type and beautifully played by two very strong actors.

Personal quotes

"My body is so important to me... my face, my arms, my legs, my hands, my eyes, everything. I use everything I have."

"I'm a big fan of Larry and Andy Wachowski because Bound was a big hit in Europe. When I saw Matrix, I said to myself, "I would love to be in a movie like that." But I didn't know at the time that it was possible. It was four years ago. Then Malena came out in America and the Wachowski brothers wanted to see me. When I see Persephone, I understand why because the way she dressed, the way she talked, the way she walked was very Malena. And then I had a great time working with them, because they are completely in control."

"So it was just a small independent Italian film that gave me the possibility to open a few doors for me here."

"But my idea's not to stay in America. My idea is to stay in Europe, to keep going with European movies and come here just if there is something that's interesting for me."

"After the third one, I was like... I'm going to throw up now," Bellucci said. "I'm going to throw up. It's going to be perfect for the scene, because it's going to be so real. "Even today, when I watch the rape scene, I'm disturbed, because it looks so real. It's like a snuff movie. You don't think it's acting."
