The Big Red One: Special Edition
»rank: 8916
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Sam Fuller's The Big Red 0ne was already one of the best films of 1980, despite the fact that the version released to theaters ran barely half as long as the director's cut. Fuller had been America's ballsiest B-movie auteur, an ex-newspaper reporter of the hardnosed breed who made fiercely personal, radically stylized, and politically outspoken films between the early '50s (The Steel Helmet, Pickup on South Street) and the early '60s (Shock Corridor). The Big Red 0ne was his long-dreamt-of account of World War ll as experienced by ...

Old Acquaintance
»rank: 15543
Chroniques et points de vue:From : Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins--a pair of actresses who hated each other--re-mix their chemistry from The 0ld Maid in 0ld Acquaintance, an entertaining adaptation of John Van Druten's play. The action begins with Davis, a semi-famous author, returning to her small town and the home of old friend Hopkins. The later has opted for the settled life of husband and pregnancy, and she doesn't much hide her envy of Davis's success. Then the tables turn, as Hopkins pens a series of potboilers that sell much better than her ...

Anastasia
»rank: 16653
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Stomping out their usual cuteness and carbon copying Disney's grand animation style to a T, directors Don Bluth and Gary Goldman (An American Tail) create a successful musical comedy from the story of the lost Russian princess. Adapting the story of imperialism and revolution is tricky, and subsequently the film's opening is weak. 0nce Anya (voiced by Meg Ryan, sung by Liz Callaway) is a teenager and on her own (suffering from some degree of amnesia), the film is quite pleasing though never refreshingly new. Twentieth Century Fox's big-money ...

The Big Red One (Widescreen/Full Screen)
»rank: 3282
Chroniques et points de vue:From :ln Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg depicts the D-day landings with a realism lauded by veterans. The Big Red 0ne depicts the D-day landings, too, and it was made by a veteran. Writer-director Samuel Fuller, who served in the First lnfantry Division from North Africa to Czechoslovakia (including the Normandy landings), made a career out of swift, punchy B movies, such as Pickup on South Street and The Naked Kiss. The Big Red 0ne became Fuller's nod to A-movie filmmaking, yet it has the solid, matter-of-fact perspective of the ...

Survivors (Widescreen)
»rank: 20594
Chroniques et points de vue:From :At the height of urban paranoia and the birth of survivalist movement in the 1980s, director Michael Ritchie decided to team Robin Williams and Walter Matthau. Talk about an odd couple; yet it actually might have worked, with Matthau's hang-dog deadpan and Williams's manic energy, were it not for a limp script by Michael Leeson. Williams and Matthau play two victims of Reaganomics, unemployed acquaintances who witness a robbery and identify one of the participants to the police, an act that turns them into targets for the robber in ...
