Armand Assante, Greta Scacchi

Lions Gate, 2001

Good movie - Unavailable
This was an EXCELLENT movie, enjoyed it tremendously. But now that I try to find the DVD, nobody has it for less than some rediculous Marketplace price of $50 or more (one seller has it for $175!). Amazon had it for $12.99 but that was before I realized it was going ...

On the Beach

Armand Assante, Rachel Ward

Platinum Disc, 2005

Well-done tale of the End of the World.
I read Nevil Shute's book several years ago and thought it amazing. Recently, when culling some books from my bookshelves, I re-read it once again one afternoon. When I read the book the first time, I didn't even know of this classic film. However, I had learned of it ...

Striptease

Demi Moore, Burt Reynolds

Turner Home Ent, 1999

Been to the circus lately?
PT Barnum said it best, well... you know what he said, and this movie says it from start to finish; proof? -you watched it! -not because you wanted to fulfill your hungry, starving intellect ( save the denial speech ) but to satisfy your lustful libido. -there, I said ...

The Mambo Kings

Armand Assante, Antonio Banderas

Warner Home Video, 2005

In The Name Of The Mambo, The Rumba And The Cha-Cha-Cha
While the film THE MAMBO KINGS is not as detailed or insightful as Oscar Hijuelos's novel THE MAMBO KINGS PLAY SONGS OF LOVE which won the 1990 Pulitzer prize it is still an excellent entertaining film. The most striking feature of the movie is how well it makes ...

Private Benjamin (Full Screen Edition)

Goldie Hawn, Eileen Brennan

Warner Home Video, 1997

Private Benjamin
I love Goldie Hawn movies and purchased Private Benjamin to watch (again) with my granddaughter who just enlisted in the military...we watched it prior to her leaving for boot camp, and I'm sure it helped her prepare for her "adventure".

American Gangster (2-Disc Unrated Extended Edition)

Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe

Universal Studios Home Entertainment, 2008

Can ya feel me!!!
On another film I reviewed on Amazon, I said that I only follow directors and not actors. Here, I'll make two strong exceptions. But, first let me digress a moment to applaud Mr. Scott for yet another great film. There are directors who I look upon as the ...

American Gangster [Blu-ray]
Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe

Universal Studios, 2008

Ridley Scott puts on his "sweeping saga" gameface again, this time not for the sci-fi vistas of Blade Runner or the ancient world of Gladiator but for an urban epic. American Gangster gives the story of Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington), a real-life Harlem crime lord who built an empire on Southeast Asian heroin in the 1970s. Running ...

Gotti

Armand Assante, William Forsythe

Hbo Home Video, 2000

BEST MOVIE EVER!
I am a huge mob fan (and being from BKLYN, know a bit about the real mob) and an even bigger John Gotti fan. Gotti is one of the best mob movies ever made. Although it is not 100% accurate (to say the least), it is an amazing movie with amazing actors. Many actors ...

The Road to El Dorado

Armand Assante, Tobin Bell

Dreamworks Animated, 2000

Great fun, visually beautiful, and a kid's introduction to Mayan culture
Wow, I wouldn't add another review of this movie except that some of the posted ones are sooo bizarre! We first rented this movie when my daughter was maybe 5 and loved it. There are several sequences where the color and animation are just stunning, and the ...

The Prophecy

Robert Foxworth, Talia Shire

Paramount, 2002

Political Correctness Leaves its Cradle
A long-haired, beared doctor raves about how "nobody listens" as he treats an afro-american baby from rat-bites in a ghetto during the film's opening. Maybe it's because it's still the 70s, but the black actress playing the baby's mother exudes a certain vehemence ...

Two for the Money (Widescreen Edition)

Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey

Universal Studios, 2006

Q & A

Nick Nolte, Timothy Hutton

20th Century Fox, 2003

Q & A
Excellent performances by the three leading actors two of them with well defined roles, the third one, Nolte, at the line between bad and good with a clear definition of values at the end.

Hoffa

Hoffa revie
a great movie depicting the trial and tribulations of the working man, while being used by his employers, and ultimately used by the union heads in their quest for power.
