"This film represents the fourth of five Martin Scorsese films topping my Netflix queue, just in case you were keeping track. I queued New York, New York into my vast Netflix lineup because it was another one of those strange aberrations and experiments that crop up in Scorsese’s filmography. This film intrigued me because it was a musical, proclaimed by Marty to be his homage to the Big Band era and to all of those big MGM and Warner Bros. musicals of early film. Plus, it oddly featured Robert DeNiro, Marty’s go-to guy in the 70s, and Liza Minnelli of all people, the daughter of the biggest name in early film musicals, Judy Garland, and of one of early film musicals’ biggest directors, Vicente Minnelli. Plus, it featured the debut of one of the most famous songs ever, which Frank Sinatra plucked from its celluloid a few years’ later to great commercial success. By all counts, I was expecting to like this film quite a bit. As it turns out, I have two adm ... "

"New York, New York is a complete disaster, a terrible mess of empty ideas, cliches and bad acting. Although Edwin assures me that Cape Fear is Scorsese's worst film, and it may be (I havn't seen it yet), I think that at least the experince of watching it might be better than this, for the simple reason that Cape Fear is forty minuets shorter. It was a just plain bad idea for Scorsese to try to make a musical comedy- it's like David Lean attempting a Dogma 95 film. Not only is bad, it's against their sensibilities. I guess the movie is supposed to be a post-modern take on old Judy Garland musicals (the female lead is her daughter, Liza Minelli). The problem is the those movies were by defination light and frothy, qualities not generally associated with Scorsese's work. The movie alternates between unbelevably awkward "witty" banter between Minelli and Robert De Niro, scenes of the couple arguing that could be out of Raging Bull, and the musical numbers. Yes, I know this is p ... "

"“There are all these people who are like a non-people living here in caravans, 15 to a house in parts of England. Completely under the radar, completely unprotected. Like Dickensian England, it???s all here. These people are working for Sainsbury???s, Tesco???s and ASDA, [they] all pretend they don???t know it???s going on. And the government pretends it doesn???t know it???s going on. They???ve designed everything so that those people can be used to keep the cost of living low. There like this sub-human race and I realized that this is really widespread.” From RCRD LBL’s “exclusive interview” with Nick Broomfield, whose narrative feature Ghosts just came out on DVD in the UK.

"Want to see Robert DeNiro act like a goofball and inexplicably trail Liza Minnelli, of all people, like a lovesick, sax-playing puppy?Want to see Martin Scorsese waste 2+ hours of your life, and numerous reels of film, on this ode to 40's musicals? It's not a horrible movie, but you can picture all the principals involved (especially Marty n' Liza), as soon as "Cut!" is called, scurrying off to 54 to congratulate each other on that day's shooting."This is sniiiiiiiiiff fantaaaastic, Marty!""Yeah, I know! This is gonna sniiiiiiiff be better than Taxi Driver and Mean Streets combined!! This is gonna blow everyone away!" "

"Laszlo Kovacs, the Hungarian-born master cinematographer who shot Paper Moon, Easy Rider and Ghostbusters, has died. A documentary about Kovacs and his friend and fellow cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond is currently in the works. Above: a clip from one of his most visually stunning works, Martin Scorsese’s batshit-insane 1977 musical New York, New York, via YouTube. The Telluride Film Festival has invited Edith R. Kramer to serve as guest diretor of the 2007 festivities. Kramer served as lead curator at UC Berkeley’s Pacific Film Archive for two decades, and as Telluride’s Tom Luddy notes in this press release, “Her international "
