All the King’s Men
I wasn’t able to see “All the King’s Men” with Sean Penn when it went through the theatres, but look forward to seeing in on DVD. I recently watched the 1949 version with Broderick Crawford and loved it. It’s in black and white, a medium that is used far …
Columbo: It’s All in the Game movie
Columbo: It’s All in the Game is rather memorable for a couple of reasons. Of course, there’s the great portrayal of the lead character by Peter Falk, but that’s constant throughout the entire history of the series. Rather, the wonder of this specific episode is Faye Dunaway …

‘The Night Listener’ is the umpteenth time from the movie Robin Williams is illicit nuances. Efforts in genres varying from the usual role he (comedy) sometimes successfully, but sometimes also appear with no convincing. For me, including The Night Listener, which is quite successful.

Paris,Texas movie
Wim Wenders was a part of the german new wave in the early 70s along with Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog for instance. The opinions of Wenders are very divided, and I personally think his later films are very overrated, but back in the 70s and 80s he …
