The Two Jakes and The Godfather 3 were released in the second half of 1990
and both films proved that sometimes it's best not to tamper with classics.
This is not necessarily because sometimes a sequel can't compliment a
classic, but because no matter what you do, there's no way to avoid
comparing the new versions to the old. And the final chapter of the
Godfather trilogy is va...

Jack Nicholson's transition from brilliant character actor to self-parodic
superstar happened sometime in the 1980s. 'The Border' is closer to his best
1970s work ('Five Easy Pieces', 'The Last Detail', 'The King Of Marvin
Gardens', 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest') than to most of his subsequent
output. Two of his best performances in recent years have been in movies

The challenge of playing the cop, Ben Shockley, in "The Gauntlet" was
that the character was virtually the opposite of Harry Callaghan: he's

whiskey bottles, his life is a shambles, he's never even been given a
big case let alone solved on...

Interesting enough, reading through the comments on this film, I noted only
one detractor, some sorehead from Canada who completely missed the point of
the film. No, Sr. Canadiense. This is not a serious film about WW2. Read
some of the excellent commentaries here about the social and temporal

As a big fan of Elvis Presley, Gig Young, and Charles Bronson, as well
as the sport of boxing, I enjoyed this movie for those reasons alone.
Elvis gives a decent performance, but is stereotyped by the script as a
goofy, goo-natured, lug-head, who has a natural gift of a cast-iron
chin and one-punch knockout power. Half the movie Elvis looks in a daze
with his mouth open catchin...
