Al Pacino, Steven Bauer

Universal Studios, 2003

GREAT

+ excellent movie

Directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone, "Scarface" is a movie that will not be forgotten. A Cuban refugee named Tony Montana (Pacino) comes to America for the American Dream. Montana then becomes the "king" in the drug world as he ruthlessly runs his empire of crime in Miami, ...

Kalifornia
Brad Pitt, Juliette Lewis

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Intriguing Story w/Great Acting

+ DOMINIC SENA, OPUS 1

Brad Pitt has none of the "pretty boy" thing working in this disturbing little flick. He plays an creepy sociopath so well, that you forget it's him - he is totally transformed. Juliette Lewis does a great job as his big-hearted girlfriend. Mesmerizing for those drawn to the Tarantino & Rodriguez ...
  
  











  



  
Deuces Wild
Fairuza Balk, Nancy Ellen Cassaro

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

A more intense version of West Side Story

+ no more west side story comparisons,please!!

Scott Kalvert did an outstanding job directing this movie and making the time period as realistic as possible. The similarity between this and Westside Story is the gang rivalry. In Westside Story, you have The Jets vs. The Sharks and in this movie you have The Deuces vs. The Vipers. I didn't see ...
  
  











  



  
Reservoir Dogs
Kirk Baltz, Lawrence Bender

Lions Gate, 2003

I have a surprise in the trunk of my car. I think you're gonna like it!

+ A Non-Linear, Dialogue Driven Film That Appeals to Any and All Tastes
+ One of the best!!

This is one of my all-time favorite movies! I'm not a big fan of cop & robber movies, but this flick is supurbly done. Even though it revolves around a jewelry store heist, the actual robbery is never shown. It was supposed to be the perfect heist. Everything was planned to the letter. But ...
  
  











  



  
Four Brothers (Special Collector's Edition)
Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson

Paramount, 2005

A Classic Western Updated

+ Not Nearly as Bad as Everyone Says...
+ Not bad!

Shadow Watcher Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake John Singleton directed this very well done action drama that plays like a modern day version of the old John Wayne movie, THE SONS OF KATIE ELDER. When their adopted mother is shot down, ostensibly by two gang members, in a convenience store ...
  
  











  



  
Narc
Dan Leis, Jason Patric

+ Narc
+ Modern day crime drama with depth and despair galore
  
  











  



  
The Departed (Widescreen Edition)
Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon

Warner Home Video, 2007

Kickazz

+ Incredibile realism

I like this movie so much I bought it, and I am cheap. Jack Nicholson is one bad mfer, and Marky Mark is the best actor in the movie. I even admired that retarded baldwin dude's acting skills. Too bad dicrapio dies at the end.
  
  











  



  
Casino
Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone

MCA/Universal Pictures, 2006

Heat (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Al Pacino, Robert De Niro

Warner Home Video, 2005

Mann pairs Pacino & DeNiro for some "Heat"

+ One of the best films of all time-stellar visuals, and performances!
+ Best Mann movie

After watching DeNiro & Pacino in their most recent outing, "Righteous Kill", I came to appreciate this film even more although they had more screen time in this one than in "Heat", "Heat" is still a crime classic in the Warner Bros tradition. Each character is clearly delinerated and all the ...
  
  











  



  
Raging Bull (Special Edition)
Robert De Niro, Cathy Moriarty

MGM (Video & DVD), 2005

Scorcese and DeNiro's Best Work - How can a film about such ugly people be so beautiful?

+ Raging Bull is a TKO.
+ A triumph of American cinema; a landmark if ever there was one...

This definitely isn't your average feel-good, stereotypical, underdog boxing movie. After all, Sly Stallone was the sole owner to the keys to that kingdom four years prior w/ his beloved "Rocky". In fact, this film really isn't about boxing at all (although there's a plethora of savage, short ...
