What would Hitchcock have done if he had had modern digital effects? The answer is almost certainly: something very like What Lies Beneath, Robert Zemeckis' technically accomplished supernatural thriller that pays open homage to Suspicion, Rear Window and Psycho, to name but three. Michelle Pfeiffer delivers one of the finest, most nuanced performances of her career as a woman in an ideal relationship whose perfect life begins to unravel with terrifying consequences. Harrison Ford plays sympathetically against type as her husband who may or may not be telling her the truth. Although made in the middle of his filming Cast Away, while the director waited for Tom Hanks to shed some pounds, this is no quickie throwaway picture. Zemeckis loads this character-driven story with genuinely scary suspense, using subtle camera moves, mirrored reflections and red-herrings in a classic Hitchcockian manner--the difference here is that he has access to the most up-to-date digital effects and employs them with characteristic imagination, creating seemingly impossible camera angles that only enhance the tension. The Production Design is equally carefully considered, as even the idyllic household setting with its pristine bathroom is gradually transformed into an object of terror. Composer Alan Silvestri's score winds up the drama several notches further with an appropriate Bernard Herrmann pastiche. On the DVD: The principal attraction of this disc is the pin-sharp anamorphic picture and 5.1 soundtrack--superb picture and sound quality contribute greatly to the enjoyment here, since Zemeckis is one of the few contemporary directors who remains acutely sensitive to the composition of each and every scene. The brief featurette is a little misleadingly titled, as it's essentially a profile of Zemeckis' career with a few comments about this film thrown in for good measure. The rather dry and uninvolving commentary is by Zemeckis with producers Steve Starkey and Jack Rapke. --Mark Walker ... less

What Does Lie Beneath This Album?
Advantages: Vocals that stand out, great musicians involved, Tarja starts to come out of her shell
Disadvantages: Tones can get uneven sometimes
....
Since being expelled on the band in late October in 2005, Tarja has made three studio albums: A Christmas album in 2006 (Henkays Ikuisuudesta), My Winter Storm in the following year and this year, What lies Beneath.
I will primarily be reviewing the standard version of What Lies Beneath but I will also mention the bonus tracks.
Cover/Inlay
The cover and inlay design content are simple and effective. It uses a lot of black so the white swirls and patterns stand out. Some of the images remind me of musical promo pictures.
Lyrics are also included.
The Album
Release dates for the album
Finland: September 1st
Germany, Switzerland and Austria: September 3rd
Worldwide: September 6th
Brazil and North America: September 14th
The album was released in September in 2010. She spent until April this year recording...

Review of What Lies Beneath - Tarja

"What Lies Beneath" is actually not that interesting.
Advantages: Great acting.
Disadvantages: Very slow, drags on, is predictable.
...of blood and the scary parts make you jump rather than cringe, which for me is the best type of horror film. I enjoyed some of the tension created by the pauses, but I think these were used a bit too much and in the end I was just waiting for the film to end.
Although I have said that the storyline isn't ground breaking, I feel that if the history of the characters was made slightly clearer and a few questions were answered, then the story would flow much nicer and keep the viewer's interest for more than a few minutes at a time.
However, for all the good acting in the film and the sometimes quite brilliant camera work, the ending of this film is extremely predictable and drags on (and yes, several horror film clichés are present), even though it is obvious what will happen next. My boyfriend and I had guessed the ending a good half an hour...

Beneath What Lies
Advantages: Very tense thriller, good female lead, nice spooky effects
Disadvantages: Too long, Harrison Ford takes a while to warm up (it happens to us all...)!
...Mr Robert Zemeckis, ladeez and gennlemen. Jack of all trades. Just look at these movies what he done:
*** Back To The Future = cool spin on time travel adventures
*** Forrest Gump = intriguing mish mash of effects and drama
And now -
*** What Lies Beneath = cool, intriguing mish mash of spin on Hitchcockian drama with effects.
Phew!
Robert Zemecis is a surprising director, and not one you can easily tie down to a genre, which is an admirable quality in any medium. You *could* try and nail him down – but he might start screaming as the iron pierces his foot. So best just to let him get on with making movies and not attempt to crucify him for the increasingly irritating legacy of Forrest Gump – OKAY?
The story? Oh okay...
***THE STORY***
Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfieffer are the ‘perfe...
