Colors While Dennis Hopper will always be known as one of the great, one of a kind actors of his or any other generation, his rather limited output as a director (with one confirmed undisputed masterpiece in Easy Rider) hopefully will one day be reaccessed and reevaluated in terms of the small number of effective, […]
Comancheros Generally with John Wayne, the rule of thumb was the better the director that he had to work with, the better the film itself would turn out to be. This release from 1961 saw Wayne teaming up with Michael (Casablanca) Curtiz, who ironically was dying from cancer during filming, prompting Wayne himself to take […]
Coming To America Coming towards the tail end of Eddie Murphy’s unbelievable hitting streak during the 80s (not ONE bad movie), this sweet, hilarious, but still lovably raunchy fairy tale is pretty great, and a nice reprieve for John Landis before he went down in flames. It seems appropriate that Murphy would be the one […]

Count Of Monte Cristo (2002) Alexandre Dumas was certainly one hell of a writer back in his day: In addition to his Musketeers stories (which have had a million film adaptations since), he also came up with this, certainly his greatest work, an epic tale of betrayal and revenge so rich and ripe with intrigue, […]
