"Limelight" was Charlie Chaplin’s last film in the US before he was driven out of the country by the fanatic McCarthy/Hoover witchhunts. It is a highly self-reflective movie that sheds a lot of light on Chaplin’s own life, as well as his [...]

Given the response I had seen after the movie’s theatrical release I had high hopes for ’Phone Booth’ and decided to give it a check-up when the DVD arrived here. Sadly, the movie did not really live up to my expectations. The plot is weak and [...]

Gangs Of New York

June 17, 2003 // 0 Comments

"Gangs Of New York" is a surprising movie in many ways. While Martin Scorcese has shown us syncopated violent moments in his movies before, none of them was so constantly brutal and vicious throughout – almost like a tapestry of violence. [...]

He’s played the Joker, the Devil, a rebellious mental patient, a dipsomaniac astronaut and a homicidal writer. For the better part of the last three decades, mention Jack Nicholson and a slew of iconic images come to mind. Yet until last year’s [...]
