A Review Too Far - Pan

This week our Cinema Geeks review Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Silence of the Lambs, and Pan.First up is Kevin Costner and his most certainly not period accent as he takes the title role in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves where he and his band of Merry Men, including fish out of water Azeem (Morgan Freeman) and Will Scarlet (Christian Slater), take on scene-stealing Alan Rickman who really tears into the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham. A big budget blockbuster, Prince of Thieves definitely shows its seams, but still manages to please thanks to the eternal charm of the dedicated members of the supporting cast.After that is the film that let Anthony Hopkins scare a generation and firmly entrench his place in pop culture as the eternally creepy Hannibal Lecter, matching wits with Jodie Foster's FBI Agent, Clarice Starling, who is desperate to track down the infamous serial killer Buffalo Bill before he flays the skin from another poor soul. Though dated by today's Thriller standards, Silence was certainly ground-breaking for its time and is pretty much Johnathan Demme's most beloved film.Finally, out in theaters now is Pan, a dramatic re-imagining of J.M.Barie's iconic "boy who never grew up," this time as an origin story that shows young Peter as a WW2 Orphan who is whisked away to Neverland to slave in Blackbeard's (Hugh Jackman) Pixim mines but escapes with the help of fellow prisoner Hook (Garrett Hedlund). The two (three with Smee) head off into the wilds until they are captured by warrior princess Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara). Watch out for Punk and Grunge standards as pirate songs and obvious CGI special effects tainting an already weak story.
