Articles tagged "faye dunaway" Film DVD ReviewBonnie and Clydeby Chris Barsanti[1.May.08] :. This film carries a bedrock rebelliousness and shocking ugliness that firmly resonates today.  TV ReviewThe Starletby Dan Zak[10.Mar.05] :. Faye Dunaway established herself as a great muse of cinema, not in the sense that she inspired great movies, but that her inspired performances buoyed her films.  Film DVD ReviewLittle Big Man (1970)by Elbert Ventura[17.Jun.03] :. It didn't just dispel the cloudless America of Westerns past -- it dismembered the genre, threw the parts in a trench, and spit on the tombstone.  Film ReviewThe Yards (2000)by Cynthia FuchsIn 'The Yards', Mark Wahlberg again plays an emotionally damaged young tough, but this time his entire environment is orchestrated to reflect that character, dark, sad, and heavy with non-options.  Film DVD ReviewMommie Dearest: Hollywood Royalty Edition (1981)by Marisa CarrollWatching Mommie Dearest: Hollywood Royalty Edition with John Waters' commentary track is like seeing it with your sharpest, funniest friend, who just happens to have inside dish on Melanie Griffith.  Film ReviewThe Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999)by Beth ArmitageEarly on in the very long Luc Besson film, The Messenger, John Malkovich (playing Charles, Dauphin of France) wishes he could be someone else. It was the one and only time that I identified with anything in the film - I wished I could watch him be someone else! Like himself in Being John Malkovich. The Messenger is an unbelievably dull movie, which is a startling achievement given that the legend of Joan of Arc lends itself pretty well to storytelling of any type. |
