"The Dark Knight, the most anticipated picture of the year for myself and innumerable others, has finally arrived following a trail of hype that would crush almost any film. But miraculously, just as Moses wielded his stone tablets, Christopher Nolan has handed us a true gift from the cinematic gods. His second Batman is so visceral, so propulsive, so maddeningly perfect in its execution that it should come with a warning; you do not simply watch The Dark Knight, you surrender your pulse to Christopher Nolan. And even if an intended triptych has been tragically cut short (as Mel Brooks might contend those aforementioned commandments were) what remains is wholly qualified to stand on its own not as a great Batman film, not as a great superhero film, and not as a great action film, but as one of the most distiguished pieces of filmmaking of its generation. This decade, more so than any other, has seen comic-to-film adaptations mature from vacuous thrills to serious art. Sam Raimi ... "

"How to put this mildly? When Al Pacino gets a call from an anonymous antagonist in the new thriller “88 Minutes” and tells him he has 88 minutes to live, my first thought after looking at Pacino was “Is it his physician? His cardiologist?”Haggard and crinkly as a wadded-up Kleenex, Pacino looks far out of a role that requires him to be a hard-partying, libidinous professor whose musk seems to attract all female students a quarter his age.The film’s opening scene, in which he’s getting jiggy with a roomful of models/students (seriously, are there no ugly kids taking forensics classes in this town?), is far more frightening than anything that follows in this sub-standard serial killer thriller directed by Jon Avnet.Pacino plays Dr. Jack Gramm, a forensic psychiatrist whose professional prowess lands him a sweet gig with the local FBI, a spot on staff at a Seattle university, and an endless receiving line of beautiful young students ready to persona ...

"The high-quality magazine FHM has come out with a list of 10 of Al Pacino's Greatest Rants... And here it is:10. HeatMichael Mann’s classic crime drama casts Al Pacino as a Los Angeles detective trying to prevent a bank heist. He attempts to gain leverage over the wife of one of the robbers by going after a salesman with whom she’s been having an affair. When the chump asks himself why he was dumb enough to get mixed up with her, Pacino makes it clear—she’s got a great ass! Ferocious, isn’t he?http://www.youtube.com/watc h?v=mlXpX3o3W2Q9. Carlito's WayAl Pacino’s first collaboration with director Brian De Palma since Scarface wastes no time giving fans what they want—a rant. As convicted drug dealer Carlito Brigante, Pacino is released from prison on a technicality but wishes to assure the court and the district attorney (James Rebhorn) that his dealing days are done. This rant stands out as one of the very few times where Pacino ca ... "

"One thing that Michael Mann is great at doing is leaving the viewer feeling overwhelmed. He does it again with this epic action/thriller. The scope of this film is enormous and the performances are phenomenal especially from De Niro and Pacino. Other than that is there a reason to see this film the answer to that question is a most definite yes!! I was enthralled by every frame and shot of this picture as I was watching it I couldn't help but love all of the characters (even the villains) there is so much story and character development that the action almost gets in the way. All in all I think that this is one of the most beautiful and compelling thrillers I have ever seen and if you love film at all you should most certainly see it!! "

"Olly Blackburn’s sexy thriller Donkey Punch premiered at Sundance earlier this year, and we caught it as part of Fantastic Fest, where it was paired with a “Hipsters Overboard!” Donkey Punch Boat Party on Town Lake in Austin, which sadly did not involve the actually tossing overboard of any hipsters. Austin has tight jean, rakish-angle hat-wearing party rats coming out of the woodwork, and it probably would have been a benefit if some had slipped into the dark water, never to be seen again. The film is what you would get if you mashed Dead Calm and Open Water 2 together and sprinkled it liberally with heavy doses of ecstasy and trance club music. I know that it probably doesn’t instill a lot of confidence in a review when you reference Open Water 2: Adrift in the second paragraph, but that film should have had a title of its own and not been a sequel, because it’s not a bad Saturday afternoon thriller itself. Plus, it also involves a gaggle of young hipsters who shouldn’t be out on ... "

"Watching Kabluey the other night, I was delighted to see that Lisa Kudrow is letting the camera record her age (45), at least in this movie. Her part required her to look haggard and beaten down, but not necessarily mid-forties; in this business, it takes some guts to show your age, especially if you're female. Helen Hunt, born the same year, looks 45 in Then She Found Me, which is good, except that as the director, she cast herself as a 39-year-old trying to conceive. Does this mean that she thinks that she still looks 39 onscreen? I like Helen Hunt, so I hope that she isn't deluding herself. A while back I found I Could Never Be Your Woman unwatchable because Michelle Pfeiffer has had so much work done that I feel creepy looking at her. See, everybody should be in charge of their own body and if someone wants to get a little plastic surgery done, fine. Their perogative. But as a movie-goer, it's my perogative to choose not to go to films that creep me out. Sorry, Michelle. In the ... "

"Having missed the launch whilst on vacation, I finally sat down last night and watched all three episodes of Joss Whedon’s musical web miniseries Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog back-to-back-to-back. I had two major notes: 1. When did Joss Whedon and Michael Mann become the same guy? Dr. Horrible is a lone wolf anti-hero whose single-minded devotion to his professional obligation to save a small corner of the world (in this case, by way of organized evil) makes the very concept of romance inconvenient. Sound familiar? “Why did she talk to me now?” Billy/Dr. Horrible laments, after prospective love interest Penny makes contact right as he’s about to jump start an evil mission. This segues directly into a song with the refrain, “A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.” What Whedon does is the self-mocking, defeatist, loveable loser version of what Mann does, in terms of love as a blight on the record of men who should be above it. This leads me to my second though, regarding Dr. Horr ... "

"Heat is a well-made movie by a good director, Michael Mann. Cop (Al Pacino) goes after robber (Robert DeNiro). The movie is long, which allows for a comfortable, natural pace and considerable character development. The point is that the good guy and the bad guy are actually very much alike—driven, bright, tough, take-charge guys—except they are on different sides of the law. The drawback is that 2 hours and 45 minutes is spent in their sordid, collapsing worlds of violence and crime. The good part is, ironically, that we’ve seen so many similar movies that it is easy to forget the grime. "
