Act of Vengeance

Charles Bronson, Ellen Burstyn

Hbo Home Video, 1987

corruption, greed, and a few other sins.
This 1985 "made for cable" drama is based on a true story about a labor union power struggle. Charles Bronson is solid and believable as Jock Yablonski, a popular official in the United Mine Workers, who in 1969, challenged Tony Boyle (so well played by Wilford ...

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai

Peter Weller, John Lithgow

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

A bedtime story for an alternate universe.
Once upon a time ... there was a neurosurgeon who was also a rock & roller, and his wife died, or did she just leave? Not sure that really matters because he can drive through solid rock, except that it's really not solid, it's actually another dimension, or maybe ...

This Boys Life

Robert De Niro, Ellen Barkin

Warner Home Video, 1995

LEO THE LIONHEARTED
Leo DiCaprio plays Tobias Wolff in this stark drama of child abuse that somehow works out for the better.Based on a true story, this film produces some of the finest acting one would ever want to see.Tobias is everything that his stepfather DeNiro never was: good ...

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

Johnny Depp, Benicio Del Toro

Universal Studios, 1999

"I just wanted to carve a little Z on your forehead"
This is for sure one of my top ten favourite films. I must have watched it 20-30 times since it came out, and I and some friends have a habit of watching it at vorspiel if we're going out on town. It is just so hilariously funny that I don't even know where to begin. ...

Eddie & Cruisers

Tom Berenger, Michael Paré

MGM (Video & DVD), 1998

The editorial review is BS
Who is Tom Keogh and why does Amazon pay him? Eddie and the Cruisers is about invention and striving for excellence. It is about two great minds, Frank and Eddie, coming together to create something new. Eddie sees in Frank a great songwriter and uses his (Eddie's) ...

Down By Law

Tom Waits, John Lurie

Polygram Video, 1997

Summertime, and the livin's not easy
This b&w treasure, starring a very young (and ALWAYS fabulous) Tom Waits & Roberto Benigni, features a brief bit at the beginning showcasing the talent of an equally young (playing totally crazed) Ellen Barkin. The action takes place in & around New Orleans and the ...

Desert Bloom

Annabeth Gish, Jon Voight

Sony Pictures, 1996

The Walking Wounded
Sensitively told coming-of-age film set against Las Vegas and the early years of atomic testing. Rose (Annabeth Gish) is thirteen and very much wants to connect with stepdad Jack (Jon Voight), an alcoholic WWII veteran still possessed by the demons of combat. Trouble ...

Johnny Handsome

Mickey Rourke, Ellen Barkin

Live / Artisan, 1993

First Rate Pulp Fiction
I remember seeing this film during it's initial run at a decrepit old movie palace in the Bronx with probably a handful of people in the audience. It's a shame because this unheralded gem deserved better. Before Quentin Tarantino there was Walter Hill as a purveyor ...

The Big Easy

Dennis Quaid, Ellen Barkin

Vidmark / Trimark, 1999

angelplustwo
It's a great movie. Owned it for years on VHS until someone borrowed and didn't return. Dennis Quaid is young and looks good. It's a nice romance with a pretty good police mystery. One of my favorites and hasn't gotten too dated as of yet.

Switch (1991)

Ellen Barkin, Jimmy Smits

Hbo Home Video, 1993

Don't Miss This Movie
After seeing parts of this movie on TV I just had to have it. Ellen Barkin plays a great roll and is just hilarious. It's not for the little ones, but yet it is not one to be uncomfortable with. If you want some good laughs mixed in with an unusual situation this ...

Tender Mercies

Robert Duvall, Tess Harper

Republic Pictures, 1998

Wonderful Duval
This is the type of movie you don't see everyday but when you do, consider it a blessing. Just wonderful work by Robert and everybody else for that matter. I saw it on cable and decided I will have to own the DVD. Just wonderful.
