Quote:
Ken Russell’s Lair of the White Worm uses Dracula author Bram Stoker’s final novel as the basic springboard into a surreal and dark-humored tale concerning a bizarre cult and a series of sacrificial murders in honor of an ancient pagan god. When archeologist Angus Flint (Peter Capaladi) discovers the mysterious scull of an undiscovered beast, further investigation reveals a bizarre myth concerning a medieval knight slaying a fearsome dragon. Soon making the acquaintance of Lord James D’Ampton (Hugh Grant), the conquering knight’s descendant, Flint begins to learn of local lore surrounding the creature and soon discovers that, throughout the years, many unexplained disappearances have haunted the local populace. With all trails leading back to the elegant mansion of mysterious recluse Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe), Lord D’Ampton makes Marsh’s acquaintance amidst growing speculation that the strangely seductive siren may have something to do with a rash of recent disappearances. As Flint and D’Ampton’s stories begin to strangely intersect, a surreal and horrific journey into the lair of an ancient god may hold they key to an age-old mystery.

Set against the stifling conformity of pre-World War I English society, E.M. Forster’s Maurice is a story of coming to terms with one’s sexuality and identity in the face of disapproval and misunderstanding. Maurice Hall (James Wilby) and Clive Durham (Hugh Grant) find themselves falling in love at Cambridge. In a time when homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment, the two must keep their feelings for one another a complete secret. After a friend is arrested and disgraced for “the unspeakable vice of the Greeks,” Clive abandons his forbidden love and marries a young woman. Maurice, however, struggles with his identity and self-confidence, seeking the help of a hypnotist to rid himself of his undeniable urges. But while staying with Clive and his shallow wife, Anne, Maurice is seduced by the affectionate and yearning servant Alec Scudder (Rupert Graves), an event that brings about profound changes in Maurice’s life and outlook.

Plot:
Ray Winkler is a “small time crook” with big dreams. Recruiting his wife and some fellow bumblers, he leaves his job as a dishwasher to open a cookie store next to a bank. And while his wife operates the cookie store, he and his cohorts work in the basement on breaking into the bank. Wealth comes from an unexpected direction, helping fulfill his dreams. But there is an ancient curse about getting everything you wish for.

Review by Cinephiles
Small Time Crooks, written and directed by Woody Allen, offers a comedic view on the effects that excessive wealth has on love, trust and self-identity. Although Small Time Crooks exposes the themes of poverty and of the popular desire to become rich and famous, the film does not intend to offer a serious commentary on such issues. Instead, Small Time Crooks focuses on its protagonistic couple’s cat-and-dog relationship, its naiveté, bad taste and overall clumsiness.

Small Time Crooks tells the funny tale of the impoverished Ray Winkler (Woody Allen), a dishwasher, and his wife Frenchy (Tracy Ullman), a manicurist. The film visits the couple after 25 years of an imperfect marriage, when their situation forces them to question their self-worth and to hope to rekindle long-forgotten dreams of success. Driven by an unfounded self-confidence, Ray decides to rob a bank with his equally eager and ignorant buddies (Jon Lovitz, Michael Rapaport and Tony Darrow), and manages to set up a cookie shop near the bank, from where to dig a tunnel. Unexpectedly, Frenchy succeeds in “making good dough”, and their cookie shop cover-up promises to become a moneymaking emporium.

Although the plot of Small Time Crooks offers the viewer a series of humorous surprises, character development is also unexpected and inconsistent. Initially, Small Time Crooks establishes Frenchy as patient, strong and somewhat sensible, while Ray is portrayed as childish, overly anxious and prone to failure. Surprisingly, these characterizations are switched without sufficient evidence of the characters’ transformations. Frenchy’s lifelong personal qualities, including her unconditional loyalty to Ray, are instantly replaced by the accessories of financial success, making her weak and vulnerable in her obviously risky dealings with the attractive David (Hugh Grant: Mickey Blue Eyes). On the other hand, the once childish Ray is suddenly defined by a mature sense of self and of his love for his wife, rendering him suddenly immune to his familiar desire for money. Nevertheless, Small Time Crooks is a film guided by the spontaneity of its resolutions, and is successful as it creates uncomplicated comedy by placing its laughable characters in amusing situations.
