 | Wise Guys [Read More ...]
Description: Brian De Palma is one of our most stylish and subversive directors of suspense and horror, but as much nervous laughter as his best films inspire he's out of his depth when trying to direct an out-and-out comedy, as this film proved. Danny De Vito and Joe Piscopo play lifelong fr... |

 | Fighting Back: Death Vengeance (1982) [Read More ...]
Review: An Excellent Character Study, Though Violent:I noticed one reviewer point out it is a true story. All I know is that this movie features one of my favorite actors (Tom Skerritt) as a man who has been touched by violence and won't stand still for it. On one hand, it is motivatio... |
