Top Five Bruce Willis Performances
With Red opening this weekend, Bruce Willis is once again proving that being a middle aged bad ass is possible. For over two decades Willis has also shown that by bringing a substantial amount of his off screen persona to his characters, he can create iconic performances that film fans hold dear to their hearts. The past few years he has hit some rough patches with some really bad films (Cop Out, Surrogates, 16 Blocks, The Whole Ten Yards), but this list will have none of that. The following is my personal top five performances by Bruce Willis. Read on… the number one may surprise you. Read the rest of this entry »
Scene Stealer | “Band of Outsiders” The Madison Dance
If you are a film buff, odds are you are familiar with Jean-Luc Godard. Along with Francois Truffaut, Claude Charbol, and others, Godard was a film critic turned filmmaker and helped to launch the now legendary French New Wave. Best known for Breathless, Godard ushered in a sixties cool consisting of crime and romance. He has directed countless great films such as: the aforementioned Breathless, A Woman is a Woman, Contempt, and Made in U.S.A, but the film that has made a lasting impression on me is Band of Outsiders.

Tarantino’s Masterpiece: Oscar Review of “Inglourious Basterds”
If there was ever a director who knew how to make hyperbolic statements concerning his own work and upcoming projects it is Quentin Tarantino. Rumors of the semi-sequel to his early films’ “Pulp Fiction” and “Reservoir Dogs” titled “The Vega Brothers” have been talked up for years.
