  1. I'm not so sure that Stewart's remarks weren't taken out of context, the same with Wayne's comments in the Playboy interview. On that I am willing to give them the benefit of a doubt.
  2. Couldn't agree with you more. Watched it again the other day, and Pacino just holds your attention. Who can forget his yelling "ATTICA! ATTICA!". He really should have won the Best Actor Oscar that year, but unfortunately he had the bad luck to be competing against Jack Nicholson, who was also overdue, for ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. I can't say Jack was an undeserving winner, but I really wish it could have been a tie that year between him and Al.
  3. I have to admit I was disappointed when I heard that Walter Brennan was a racist but I was flat-out shocked when I heard that story about him doing a dance of joy after hearing about the assassination of Martin Luther King. Still enjoy his film work though, but the sounds of it wouldn't want to meet him in real life.
  4. Good film. Not the best film of either Fonda or Colbert, but still entertaining.
  5. Robert Mitchum is a tough act to follow as the monsterous, manipulative Max Cady in 1962's CAPE FEAR. But I think Robert De Niro filled those big shoes admiringly. At least in this version (SPOILERS): Cady did have a legitimate reason to hate Sam Bowden. In the original Bowden testified against Cady, setting off Cady's undeserving wrath upon him and his family. In Scorsese's version Bowden, as Cady's defense attorney, deliberately withheld evidence that allowed Cady to be sent to the prison. Even though Cady is still a piece of crap even in this version, Bowden has no one to blame but himself for bringing Cady's vengeance upon himself and his family.
  6. I forgot about JOE, yes that is a great movie, and Peter Boyle is absolutely fantastic in it. I am glad that he finally got the recognition he deserved, even if it was belated, in EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND. He was hilarious as Frank Barone. As for Susan Sarandon, I can take her or leave her. I think she did deserve her Oscar for DEAD MAN WALKING, but THELMA AND LOUISE kind of left me cold.
