Serpico/The Untouchables/Chinatown

SerpicoAl Pacino's classic portrayal of Frank Serpico established him as one of today's ... more

most versatile actors. SERPICO was based on the
true story of a New York policeman who discovers
that honestly is not expected to be part of his
job. He endures scorn and mistreatment from his
fellow cops while attempting to perform his job
with integrity. The character of Serpico,
combining the best elements of the Establishment
and counter-culture, is a tour-de-force for
Pacino. The film is a breathtaking suspense story
and a fascinating character study as well as a
memorable statement about government's inherent
flaws. The UntouchablesThe critics and public
agree. Brian De Palma's The Untouchables is a
must-see masterpiece - a glorious, fierce,
larger-than-life depiction of the mob warlord who
ruled Prohibitation-era Chicago... and the law
enforcer who vowed to bring him down. This classic
confrontation between good and evil stars Kevin
Costner as federal agent Eliot Ness, Robert De
Niro as ganglord kingpin Al Capone and Sean
Connery as Malone, the cop who teaches Ness how to
beat the mob: shoot fast and shoot
first.ChinatownA landmark movie in the film noir
tradition, Roman Palanski's Chinatown stands as a
true screen classic. Jack Nicholson is private eye
Jake Gittes, living off the murky moral climate of
sunbaked, pre-war Southern California. Hired by a
beautiful socialite (Faye Dunaway) to investigate
her husband's extra-martial affair, Gittes is
swept into a maelstorm of double dealing and
deadly deceits, uncovering a web of personal and
political scandals that come crashing together for
one, unforgettable night in... Chinatown.
Co-starring film legend John Huston and featuring
an Academy Award winner screenplay by Robert
Towne, Chinatown captures a lost era in a
masterfully woven movie that remains a timeless
gem.

inBoogie Nightshave one major thing in common:
They both have posters of Al Pacino asSerpicoon
their bedroom walls. As the real-life NYPD
detective whose integrity cost him virtually
everything (and almost cost him his life), Pacino
became one of the icons of gritty, realistic 1970s
filmmaking. Released in 1973, between the first
twoGodfathermovies, this is the true story of
Frank Serpico, a long-haired, idealistic,
iconoclastic cop who reluctantly goes undercover
to investigate dirty colleagues who are on the
take. This is one of the definitive Pacino
performances, along with his role as Michael
Corleone in theGodfathersaga, and Sonny the
bungling bank robber inDog Day Afternoon(which
reunited him with hisSerpicodirector, Sidney
Lumet)--and Pacino was nominated for a best actor
Oscar for all of them (although he wouldn't
actually win until 1992'sScent of a Woman). --Jim
EmersonThe UntouchablesAs noted critic Pauline
Kael wrote, the 1987 box-office hitThe
Untouchablesis "like an attempt to visualise the
public's collective dream of Chicago gangsters."
In other words, this lavish reworking of the
vintage TV series is a rousing potboiler from a
bygone era, so beautifully designed and
photographed--and so craftily directed by Brian De
Palma--that the historical reality of
Prohibition-era Chicago could only pale in
comparison. From a script by David Mamet, the
movie pits four underdog heroes (the maverick
lawmen known as the Untouchables) against a
singular villain in Al Capone, played by Robert De
Niro as a dapper caesar holding court (and a
baseball bat) against any and all challengers.
Kevin Costner is the naive federal agent Eliot
Ness, whose lack of experience is tempered by the
streetwise alliance of a seasoned Chicago cop
(Sean Connery, in an Oscar-winning performance), a
rookie marksman (Andy Garcia), and an accountant
(Charles Martin Smith) who holds the key to
Capone's potential downfall. The movie approaches
greatness on the strength of its set pieces, such
as thesiege near the Canadian border, the venal
ambush at Connery's apartment, and the
train-station shootout partially modeled after the
"Odessa steps" sequences of the Russian
classicBattleship Potemkin. It's thrilling stuff,
fueled by Ennio Morricone's dynamic score, but
it's also manipulative and obvious. If you're
inclined to be critical, the movie gives you
reason to complain. If you'd rather sit back and
enjoy a first-rate production with an all-star
cast,The Untouchablesmay very well strike you as a
classic. --Jeff ShannonChinatownRoman Polanski's
brooding film noir exposes the darkest side of the
land of sunshine, the Los Angeles of the 1930s,
where power is the only currency--and the only
real thing worth buying. Jack Nicholson is J.J.
Gittes, a private eye in the Chandler mold, who
during a routine straying-spouse investigation
finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a
jigsaw puzzle of clues and corruption. The
glamourous Evelyn Mulwray (a dazzling Faye
Dunaway) and her titanic father, Noah Cross (John
Huston), are at the black-hole center of this tale
of treachery, incest, and political bribery. The
crackling, hard-bitten script by Robert Towne won
a well-deserved Oscar, and the muted colour
cinematography makes the goings-on seem both bleak
and impossibly vibrant. Polanski himself has a
brief, memorable cameo as the thug who tangles
with Nicholson's nose. One of the greatest, most
completely satisfying crime films of all time.

Wonderful Literary Chick Flick Trilogy Box Set

Advantages: Well acted, Great Book Adaptation Storylines, Fun for All Ages
Disadvantages: Each Movie is About Three Hours Long

be ignored by the overall storyline. I was slightly disapointed by this third story since it really didn't go by the books my L.M Montgomery at all. The first two movies are at least based on her books , but this movie was almost entirely made up. I was hoping the third movie would follow the other books about Anne as she is grown up with Children. Still, the movie was well made and entertaining. It was good to see the actors again, and the costumes anad attention to detail from the World War I era are fantastic. It's not as good as the first two movies, but well worth a watch. ******Conclusion***** All these movies in the Box Set; Anne of Green Gables, The Sequel , and The Continuing Story, are so much fun. Children around the age of 7 and up will enjoy the first one. While children more around the age of 10 and up would ...

Review of Anne Of Green Gables (Box Set) (DVD)

ofah complete box set

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: loads of scenes and music scores have been cut out

this is the only fools and horses complete collection box set but in my eyes it isnt because loads of scenes have been cut and musical scores changed or cut out and laughter tracks added onto episodes that didnt originally have a laughter track. so its not really the complete collection is it with all these things changed and added the episode a royal flush is the one that been edited the most loads of scenes have been cut and a laughter track added wich spoils the episode completely. i would strongly recommend anyone that want to see all the episodes in all their glory is to tape them off uk gold its better than this so called complete collection that the bbc have released im still waiting for the genuine complete collection. ...
