Great Netflix reviews Chris
This site is a great archive...
My next door neighbor (apartment down the hall) has got tons of VHS tapes that he hasn't watched in years. He's been giving me 4 at a time. I watch 'em, get 4 more. Free 'o charge!
Nice to have friends like that...
52 Pick-Up
I forgot how great this little Frankenheimer film is.
Strictly adult all the way. Hookers, torture, extreme violence
The script is by Elmore Leonard and I'm sure Tarantino loves it.
Roy Scheider is being blackmailed into giving up 110 thousand dollars. Things don't go so well.
Ann-Margret is really good in it- I didn't realize how good an actress she can be.
AWESOME movie.
My fanboy rave: I watched it late at night all alone and it was wicked.
Citizen Kane
Hadn't seen it in about three years.
What can I say?
Fellini said it had "immense depth of field"
Polanski said "it was like a blueprint"
von Stroheim said "Welles' theme is small"
I say HE'S MISTER KANE!
Love it to death.
I always gagged on that silver spoon...
Alex Haley's QUEEN
Excellent T.V. miniseries, with a great cast including Martin Sheen, Ossie Davis, Ann-Margret (again) and Danny Glover.
I guess it could be a companion to ROOTS, but it stands on it's own too. It was made according to Alex Haley's wishes and it is dedicated to him.
It's about the South, black slaves and black history.
Very important film, and not just for blacks.
EVERYBODY should see it.
I was very moved by it.
