Star-studded Caper That Works
Reviewed by criddic2 for The Score at 2010-09-26 04:28:19
Entertaining heist caper from director Frank Oz. It features a solid De Niro being slightly upstaged by con-artist Edward Norton, an efficient pacing and Brando in his final screen role.

Pretty good Western, but not great
Reviewed by The_MOW for Missouri Breaks at 2010-05-08 14:22:41
A group of outlaws, lead by "Tom Logan" (Jack Nicholson), settles into a Missouri ranch to hideout from the law. However, a powerful rancher hires a man (Marlon Brando) to run them out. The "regulator" (Brando) wipes out the entire band of outlaws, but "Tom," who decides to go straight in his pursuit of a local woman (Kathleen Lloyd). Now, the two are heading to a face-off that may be each other's last day on Earth. This is not the best movie I've seen. In fact, I noticed myself looking away from my computer screen (I watched it on Hulu) many times. I found the characters poorly written, although they were pretty well performed by the actors. They were all pretty one-dimensional, and they just didn't seem to connect with each other. The relationships between the characters just didn't work. I could not feel anything in the romantic subplot at all. In fact, I couldn't feel any chemistry between Nicholson and Lloyd at all. There was a little chemistry between Nicholson and Brando. But, because of the poor writing, they really had little to work with for their on-screen relationship. Surprisingly, the gunplay was minimal. Even when you expected a good amount of shooting, it wasn't there. There is some violence, though it's fairly mild. In the first minute of the movie, there is a fairly graphic hanging that was probably placed that early in the film for shock value. The scenery was used pretty well in this movie. It certainly wasn't overplayed. There were some scenes where the scenery was used quite well with camera angles and such. John Williams did, in my opinion, a poor job in writing the music for this film. To me, the music was more modern instrumental work, and just didn't work. In fact, despite being composed by a Hollywood legend like Williams, the soundtrack is completely forgettable. Wardrobe appeared to be authentic in this film, except the outfit Brando wore through much of the film. His outfit was a little over-the-top, but not too much to be distracting. I would have to say that if you find it online on sites like Hulu, check it out if you have nothing better to do. Other than that, don't waste your money.

The Best Superman Ever
Reviewed by criddic2 for Superman: The Movie at 2010-04-01 02:36:00
George Reeves was fun on TV, Brandon Routh was fine in the newer movie, but Christopher Reeve remains the actor who made the role his. And the movie is a great one, too, against all expectations at the time. Sweeping epic origin story, fantastic (for the time) effects, inspirational music from John Williams, a cast that fill each role brilliantly. Nobody plays Lex Luthor the way Hackman does. The look and feel are still majestic, permitting a sense of awe that is rare in movies.

Reviewed by nanas for The Godfather at 2010-03-07 00:34:38
the trilogy moves my soul. i can watch them over and over and over again. Brando starts sexy, Pacino continues sexy, & Garcia erupts sexy. hope there is no continuance. to do so would sully the story.

I love him
Reviewed by queenmango for A Streetcar Named Desire at 2009-09-30 16:23:18
Brando was great in this movie I just whish there had been more of him in it1 The story was kind of odd but to my surprise I couldnt stop watching it. Very good drama and intense charactors. I dont like Vivien and I wish that part was played by someone else. The couple in the movie are very real and I liked that.

The Greatest of All Time
Reviewed by JohnnyD for The Godfather at 2009-01-02 12:59:33
Muhammed Ali in boxing. Wayne Gretzky in Hockey. Michael Jordan in Basketball. The Godfather in Movies. All of the above are the undisputed best ever in their fields. This film is the greatest of all time. Without a shadow of a doubt.
