So as seen on the poster, this movie has a great cast: Robert De Niro,
Sam Rockwell, Kate Beckinsale, and Drew Barrymore. However, the
supporting characters are on screen for only a short while, and your
mostly going to see little old Bobby. Of course this isn't necessarily
a bad thing, since De Niro is great as usual. It's a story of an old

gab and lots of singing and dancing, beautiful sets and costumes, lots

This film had me in stitches from the start. I am amazed how Robert
DeNiro
can be so strong in serious roles and yet he does comedy as good as any
one.
People like Robin Williams are trying to cross over to serious roles as
is
Jim Carrey and this guy makes it look like anybody could do it. Unreal !...

strong lesson in how to craft an action movie without a lot of
explosions and gunfights. Plus: three generations of Method acto...

realism. New York is made to look exactly as it is, you can hear every

years. His final film was the rather crap Reindeer Games, with Ben
Affleck, and in 1996 he gave us the utterly terrible Island Of Doctor

everything.It is a detachment from glossy, MTV-directed, Hollywood action movies.

Who votes in these ratings? "Jacknife" is a beautifully acted,
brilliantly observed piece of work, with actors on top of their game,
especially Ed Harris and the peerless Robert DeNiro(please don't
mention Marlon Brando in the same breath of this man-see "Taxi Driver"
for confirmation of this point). Is it a 'mundane' movie because it

Well, ask me why this movie has such a poor rating. Or maybe don't ask
me, because I have no answer. The movie is just great. The acting is
perfect for this script, DeNiro and Penn are so funny and also serious
when is needed. Why such a poor rating ? Maybe because people are not
so funny as they were once. For the people of our days a comedy is
something like Scary Movie or a ...

They don't come any better than Midnight Run. It has everything except
a few Academy Awards and that's a mystery in itself. Dialogue, action,
comic timing, stunts and all around fabulous acting ability from
everyone involved. If you haven't seen this film yet, dig up a copy
from somewhere, get a few beers and prepare to be captivated from
beginning to end. To think that only 10...

Outstanding production that was the best film of 1987 with the
exception of the very dominant "The Last Emperor". "The Untouchables"
is the story of Elliot Ness (perfectly played by Kevin Costner) who
tries to bring down Chicago Mob boss Al Capone (Robert DeNiro in one of
his most under-rated roles) during the early-1930s. Illegal liquor
smuggling and other much more serious cr...

... when it brings no profit to the wise? On the surface, that seems to
be the moral of "Angel Heart." But look a little deeper -- the fact is,

looks you straight in the eye."Much of the meaning in this dark tale lies in the above line uttered by

I have read the other comments and am stunned by people who view The
Mission
in a negative light. It feels as though you are attacking a loved one -
perhaps because this movie IS a loved one to me. Never, ever have I felt

I have read a lot of understandably negative reviews of the movie
'Brazil.'
Brazil(in its proper form) is a long film at well over two hours, it has
many cutaways to dream sequences that are only loosely related to the
rest
of the film, and the narrative story is not always the driving force of
the
film which many people find confusing. With all these things going

Many people compare "Once Upon a Time in America" with "The Godfather".
In my opinion these two movies can't be compared. Both are masterpieces
in their own way, but each of them has a different style. You don't
compare a Picasso to Michelangelo's Sixteen Chapel either, do you?What is it that makes this movie a masterpiece? Well, first of all
there is the director. Sergio Leone is ...

'The King Of Comedy' is easily Martin Scorsese's most underrated and
misunderstood movie. Scorsese and Robert De Niro's previous collaboration
was the brilliant boxing biopic 'Raging Bull', generally regarded by most
people as a masterpiece. Then the two made 'The King Of Comedy'... What a
brave move! You couldn't find a more different movie, but one just as
impressive and extr...

"Raging Bull" isn't the average, stereotypical underdog boxing movie,
because it isn't really about boxing at all. Like most great movies,
its focus is much deeper. It came out in 1980, earned Robert De Niro a
Best Actor Academy Award, and was marked down as another solid triumph
by director Martin Scorsese, whose previous 1976 outing with De Niro
earned them both criti...

A comment re the other comments: A lot of the comments criticize the
first half hour as being too long. In my opinion, these comments miss
the point of the movie.Of course many of the scenes in the first hour don't advance the
narrative. They're not supposed to; they're for character development.The whole point of the movie is to show us how the various characters
were affected by ...

This was a real change of pace for director Martin Scorsese--he decided to
do a drama/love story with music set in the 1940s. But he wanted a DOWNBEAT
film. It was released in 1977 (after about 20 minutes were cut out by the
studio) and was torn apart by the critics. It was reissued in 1981 with all
the cut footage restored (in now runs 165 minutes) and the critics raved

The first time that Robert De Niro appears up-close in Martin
Scorsese's Mean Streets is to the tune of the Rolling Stones' Jumpin'
Jack Flash. It's from this point forward that the movie leaves the
realm of being a 'good film' and becomes 'one of the greatest films of
all time.' Simply put, the energy of Mean Streets is fantastic. De
Niro's flamboyant entrance is one of many i...
