Mann's Masterpiece, in my opinion. Closely followed by The Insider. Gorgeous locations beautifully shot by Dante Spinotti in scope on 35 mm. Before the unfortunate decline into digital mud. A fantastic score from Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman. If you're a fan of the film's score check out Joel McNeeley's brilliant…

You nailed it. A great film on every level, no one coasts in this production. Crowe has never been better as a basically decent man who has compromised himself to support his family and risks losing everything, to do the right thing. Pacino is wonderful. He releases the coiled rage when he needs to and never falls…

No and No.
Please explain what you mean by, "the spirit of "It's a tv show."
I understand the original comment and your repetition of it as a statement to the effect that television writing, unlike the writing in novels, theatre or film scripts. Does not require a internal consistent narrative logic. I think you will…

The internal narrative logic that all programmes have and need to be consistent with.
"It's a tv show, go with it"
What's that about?
It seems to be the thing people throw out there when they either are not capable of making a reasoned point or just being glib and insulting to the many people whose work makes up a show.…

There is a botox scarred portrait of her in that one locked room she stops anyone from entering. She will be 45 on the 29th, So she was just 20 when she appeared on Twin Peaks.

How are they going to explain why Laura Palmer has aged? Sheryl Lee looks great, but she is clearly not the eternally youthful spirit of Laura in the White & Black Lodges (the red curtain place) Will Moira Kelly step in again as Donna Hayward or will they recast the role with a new face? And what about BOB? With the…

When are they going to get some fuses in the bridge equipment? How many cadets have to get fried when a Klingon sneezes in the ship's direction? Spend a couple of bucks. Buy the bloody fuses.
Yes, the Blu-rays of Classic, TNG & Enterprise ROCK! Great job CBS Paramount Digital and thanks for giving viewers of Classic…

Respect Sir, Respect. Your creations brought so much joy to so many childhoods. Rest well Sir. You've earned it.

Nothing new here. Yes, Zemeckis is a reactionary. I loathed Gump. It's technical brilliance is outweighed by it's ugly race and gender politics. People were calling it out on it's release. I haven't read the novel, but I was under the impression it was meant has a satire and not a celebration of U.S. exceptionalism.
Wh…

Passable trash. It is the creation of John Logan and is executive produced by his Skyfall/Spectre partner Sam Mendes. It is all high concept, pretty veneer, no depth. Logan can write, but he doesn't seem either interested or capable of going beyond the surface of characters. Really plunging into the metaphors.
It is…

Well, left field certainly describes my father.

"Would you like to buy a word, Katie?"
"Yes Bob,"

Oh, that Guy?
Damn, way to young. What a great face. Beautiful line delivery and great timing.
Thankyou for being a part of my eighties teenage years. You will be missed.
Well now I know what I'm watching tonight. Pull out the old Roadshow Home Video VHS of Easy Money, following up with Fast Times on BD.

Was it Kael? And about West Side Story? I can't remember, but the line is definitely not mine. You guys are all media savvy, so I thought putting it at the top, you'd recognise it. I thought it was in reference to Cabaret.
I like and own both films on BD, but Cabaret, closely followed by All That Jazz are my…

The musical for people who hate musicals.
A savage, biting, alluring and repulsive spectacle of a Nation abandoning reason and morality for the comfort of order and pride. Fosse went on to make Lenny and All That Jazz. Bloody Genius! Showing the rest of us poor wannabe mediocrities up. Well done Sir.

Sod guilty pleasures. Own it! You are right, they have great chemistry. Angie Harmon has great comedic chops and great,,,, Oops, nearly got a bit unreconstructed straight boy. They are both very attractive, talented ladies in a light, entertaining series. It would be nice if the show's writing was just a tad more…

No, it is just an opinion that clearly differs with your own. No need for personal vitriol. That is the quickest way to lose an argument.

Wow, so this really wasn't a pisstake on the A.V. Club's part?
They really did it! You maniacs! You put panto in primetime.
And with Christopher Walken. Genius!

That's more like it! Rough? Yes. But far superior to NBC's poxy, watered down joke.

The Offence is a superb film and in my opinion it earns Connery the Oscar he received for The Untouchables. The 70s' were probably Connery's best decade as a screen actor. He really attempted to challenge himself and stretch his range. Fellow Scot and great character actor Ian Bannen (Gorky Park, Braveheart) is…
