Three Kings (1999)
Why does it take so long?
Look the war with Iraq was fought nine years ago. Two movies. The horror of the war isn't being dealt with by Hollywood. Why? And this picture, besides the romantic depiction of the struggle against Saddam, at least puts the issue before the public.
The Devils (1971)
Deeply disturbing experience
Even after twenty years this film stays in one's memory. The performance by Oliver Reed is so good that I keep hoping to see him doing something besides B-horror movies. He isn't to be found apparently. Based on the book by Aldous Huxley this is a MUST for anyone who enjoys the movies.
True Crime (1999)
Boring
It's too bad. I always look forward to an Eastwood movie. But this one just doesn't have it. And there is too much preaching here about women, about blacks, about innocence and guilt, and about alcohol and sex. Tired, uninteresting, trite.
Thick as Thieves (1999)
A wonderful movie
This is a very low-key but thoroughly enjoyable movie. Alec Baldwin commands the camera as he always seems to do. But so does Michael Jai as Pointy. The plot isn't the thing. It's not intricate and the action is elementary. But the play off with classic jazz numbers, the atmosphere established in the Detroit and Miami areas all make for delightful viewing experience. I highly recommend this movie.
