"Im just a bum sitting in a motor home on a film set, Brando said, and
they come looking for ZEUS". I think Brando was a guy who was perfect in the moment. All his power
and shortcomings can be revealed in a single sentence. Other's might
have been great and still more will be. But there's just something
about him. For me, Brando has always been the ultimate male. Simply pu...

Badly neglected by both audiences and critics at the time of it's
original release, NUTS is a film that is ripe for reevaluation. Based
on Tom Toplor's 1981 courtroom play, NUTS is definitely a
dialogue-based film with little Hollywood flashiness. Though extremely
well-written (by Toplor, adapting his own work with Darryl Ponicsan and
Alvin Sargent) and sharply staged a...

The movie lacks the polish of the original but I thought it was very
entertaining. How can you go wrong with Jackie Gleason? Mac Davis
played the confused confidence man to a T. He always seemed to be just
a little behind everyone else. This movie seems to share characters
names with the original "Sting" but the names could have been
completely different and probably should hav...

A lot of people don't like this picture, but, I think it
works.
It is helmed by a strong cast of principle performers and carried off by a
unique twist on the sequel impetus. The idea is fairly original, as opposed
to the usual: for this story, one would normally expect they'd just focus on
another group of survivors and how they get out. Instead of dealing with
people wa...

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of reading "The Patton Papers," a
collection of Gen. Patton's diary entries and letters edited by Martin
Blumenson. Having seen the movie, I think that no actor has ever better
captured the spirit of a man better than George C. Scott, nor has any movie
better portrayed that spirit than PATTON.Patton was a man who lived for war. World War II was...

I'm baffled by the dislike afforded this enjoyable sixties romp. The
charge
that it is less realistic than the previous films is groundless because
the
others weren't the real world either. The first featured some daft
business
with a psychedelic torture chamber and the second some far fetched romps
around the Berlin wall. Of course, the events in 'Brain' are no less

It's a pity this film isn't more well-known. "Bullwhip Griffin," is one
of the better live-action Disney films of the 60's. Roddy McDowell is
perfectly cast and delivers an appealing performance in the title role.
Disney was wise to give leading roles to "character actors" from time to
time. Like Angela Lansbury in "Bedknobs and Broomsticks," McDowell proves
that he's strong en...

GOOD NEWS: This is a riveting film start-to-finish, which is hard to do
considering it runs over two hours. Burt Lancaster, one of the better
actors, perhaps, of all time, gives a tremendous and very memorable
performance. It's a clich...

'One-Eyed Jacks' might be considered the most self-consciously Western
of the sixties, and possibly of all time... It contains undoubted
visual attributes, gorgeous photographic sequences of an immense sandy
desert, and panoramas of the spectacular California coast... Not often
does one get to see the sea in a Western... Another of the film's great
assets is its beautiful music...

A period piece that boasts about "The Glad Game?" Ready to tune out? So
was I, until I got what was happening. This movie is profound, not only
in
its execution of story, but in the relevant, lovely message it naturally
brings, as opposed to the message it sells. I've viewed it 5 times and
each
time, I am newly informed as to how I can adjust my attitude for a better

I've seen quite a few films in my life, but none such as this. Elia
Kazan's
quirky, off-the-wall romp about revenge and justice in 1950's
Mississippi
is truly remarkable.
The first time I saw this movie I didn't know how to take it; I turned on
my
TV one day right at the scene where Eli Wallach and Carroll Baker are
upstairs playing hide and seek... It seemed distur...

If the transfer of culpability was a basic theme in Hitchcock's
"Strangers on a Train," it furnished the provocative dilemma to "I

(Ovila Legare) when he is caught stealing... Keller thereupon confesses
his crime to Father Michael Logan (Montgomery Clift), a priest at the
