"During last year’s “Juno” zeitgeist, I received a response from a reader who took umbrage with me slamming the film. “I guess you don’t remember what’s it’s like to be a 16-year-old girl who is unpopular, non-conforming and pregnant,” she sniffed. I always thought this to be an odd line of reasoning for an argument. By that statement, does that mean I must have spent time as a gladiator to enjoy “300?” Must I have gone through heroin withdraw after cutting short my career in punk music to appreciate “Sid and Nancy?” A film need not have leads with character traits that duplicate my own in order for me to appreciate it (“Trainspotting” immediately comes to mind). It does not even have to have leads that I respect, for that mat "

"Anticipating the worst from Diane English’s new remake of The Women is not just typical low expectations regarding remakes in general. My dread is specifically based on dissatisfaction with remakes and updates of films from the 1930s, arguably the best decade in cinema (it is certainly my favorite). While I may recognize and appreciate some favorable redos, such as DePalma’s Scarface (of which I’ve never really been a fan), Mazursky’s Down and Out in Beverly Hills and the multiple repeats from Hitchcock, I am more often disappointed with attempts to recreate ‘30s classics, even when I approach them with already low standards. Worst, for me, doesn’t necessarily have to do with the quality of the film alone, especially when related to remakes and updates. The titles and versions I’ve selected are hardly the worst in terms of craft or production value — you’ll note there are no Dracula movies on this li "

"Yesterday’s list dealt with Tom Cruise’s performance in Tropic Thunder. Today, a response to Robert Downey Jr.’s role in the same film as a white actor portraying a black soldier in a war movie (seen in the above clip). Doesn’t it seem such an original and shocking idea? I guess not if you see it as an update on blackface. Fortunately, it’s different when it’s an actor playing a character who makes himself up to look black. It’s funny. But isn’t it typically more acceptable when the make-up isn’t quite as authentic-looking as Downey’s? He actually looks black. Specifically, he looks like Fred Williamson. I’ve seen plenty of lists detailing the worst instances of one race or nationality playing characters of another race/nationality (John Wayne and Susan Hayward in

Then when you get the power, then you get the women.' (Tony Montana)I'm pushed to answer whether I like Brian De Palma's work or merely appreciate it.

"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 ... "

"I really can't say I watch this film very often, mainly because it's hard to watch. I'm not talking about Pacino's acting (which is WAY over the top, even for him), I'm talking about the brutality and the harsh language and the situations that Tony Montana seems to get himself into. When he makes yet another bad decision, you can't help but shake your head. But in any case, it's still an interesting story told with much pizzazz. It's like a train wreck - you CAN'T look away...you HAVE TO see what's coming next. And really, isn't that the point of a film? "

"No actor could be better than Al Pacino. He has been around for a long time, and can produce an outstanding role. This is probably his best. He makes the perfect gangster. "
