| Let me start off first by saying that cinematographer Darius Khondji does a
godlike job at shooting this film. Khondji shoots everything with a sense
of grandeur and even if you don't enjoy the film, you can still watch The
Beach for its postcard...more |

back on screen but with a whimper rather than a bang. He has chosen The

| THE BEACH, directed by Danny Boyle (TRAINSPOTTING), is an entertaining,

uninspired. The easy to cast role of...more |
