Mel Gibson has made news this year for “various reasons” and while recent polls indicate that audiences would still see his films despite the craziness, it still remains to be seen. The controversy must have come as a serious headache to director Jodie Foster and her new movie starring Mel entitled The Beaver. The comedy focuses upon a clinically depressed man who in order to reconnect with his family begins to talk through a Beaver puppet. The film quickly went into limbo after Mel’s meltdown even though it had a well received script and an apparently Oscar worthy performance from Gibson.

Double Feature | Bad Lieutenant and Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
In 1992, director Abel Ferrara released his film Bad Lieutenant, about a drug addicted, gambling, crooked cop (Harvey Keitel) investigating a horrible act that drives him to redemption.

Both films have been called the following: morally reprehensible, depraved, disgusting, trash,… brilliant. Read the rest of this entry »
Mad Mel is Back: Review “Edge of Darkness”
“Edge of Darkness” is the first film featuring a now middle aged 80s superstar in an action role to actually work. Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis, and Sylvester Stallone’s recent attempts to revitalize their old franchises ended up leaving several bad tastes in our mouths. Now my problems with those films were never the actors. It was that the circumstances they found themselves in were increasingly ridiculous. Needless to say you won’t see a superhuman Gibson repeating all his old catchphrases in this film. This time it’s just a hard broiled cop out for revenge and kicking ass.
