For the former, it is easier to play with light and shadow in the limited... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~335705640580 Mon, 19 Mar 2007 20:51:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_335705640580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_322083982980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author eddielancekick - Brian De Palma bases the film &#147The Black Dahlia&#148 off of the top selling book of the same name. The book, when written by Elroy, was more of a fantasy undertaking in that he created a series of fictionalized characters and storylines to tie in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~322083982980 Mon, 19 Feb 2007 03:00:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_322083982980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_316264255108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ahussain176 - Normally I write detailed reviews of films I have recently seen on epinions but with this one I will go with an express review since the film is nothing to write about. The plot is a fictional version of the events and lives surrounding the infamous... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~316264255108 Tue, 6 Feb 2007 07:38:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_316264255108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_315445579396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author videodude - Visually, The Black Dahlia is a real achievement of filmmaking with director Brian DePalma and company, giving a loving tribute to 1940's film noir. Every part of The Black Dahlia is lovingly shot with the kind of dark, brooding intensity that harkens... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~315445579396 Mon, 5 Feb 2007 02:00:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_315445579396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_297642462852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lemon_lime - On paper, The Black Dahlia should have been a good film, possibly even a great one. Director Brian DePalma seemed an ideal choice to helm this intricate and noir-ish adaptation of James Ellroy's dark and excellent book of the same name,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~297642462852 Wed, 27 Dec 2006 20:53:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_297642462852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_281980079748?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MrsNormanMaine - Flaming Desire, my new musical adaptation of the Bruce Willis actioner, Die Hard continues in pre-production, but at a slower place than I would like. The first draft of the script simply would not do.

Aaron Eckhart and Josh Harnett were to play detectives in a gritty film noir based on a sensational murder case!
