Phantom of the Paradise (Widescreen)
»rank: 8829
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Describing Brian De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise as an update of the classic Phantom of the 0pera doesn't do justice to this demented movie. While De Palma's Hitchcock homages have sometimes led him into dead ends, this rock & roll remake seems to have liberated De Palma's imagination, and the result is weird and funny, with the scruffy underground spirit of the director's early pictures.

Cannery Row
»rank: 9437
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This 1982 effort at adapting John Steinbeck's Sweet Thursday and Cannery Row is barely watchable, salvaged only by the thoughtful performances of Nick Nolte as a marine biologist and Debra Winger as a drifter. David S. Ward (Down Periscope) made his directorial debut and thoroughly botched such essentials as pacing and verisimilitude. (The sets look as artificial as any of Francis Ford Coppolla's more egregious contrivances.) lf you can stay with it, however, there are plenty of good acting moments to hang your hat on. --Tom Keogh
