Untouchables

Pros: Robert De Niro, Sean Connery, and Kevin Costner. Mamet's muscular screenplay. De Palma's directing

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: While it takes huge liberties with historical accuracy, this 1987 film is one of the best adaptations of a TV series ever made by Hollywood.

Review: With the success of Paramount Pictures' Star Trek movie series of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hollywood producers and screenwriters continued to mine the formerly-maligned medium of television for story ideas and even story-telling ...

Pros: Script, screenplay, acting, direction, set design, emotional

Review: As is so often the case with me, I was channel surfing the other night when I cam across a film that I hadn't seen in many years. A film that I loved when I was younger for it's violence and bloodshed, but loved now for it's emotion and depth. That ...

Aye, you’ve got microbreweries and...

Pros: Connery, Mamet's dialogue and DePalma's direction, music

Cons: nothing

The Bottom Line: One of the greatest and most fun films of all time. A gangster classic with writing, acting, and direction matched by none.

Review: What is is about gangsters that fascinates us so? They're criminals, and thusly either by nature or because of the life they lead, violent men. Some of the most classic films of all time surround this world, and I'd say that every Amrican actor worth...

Pros: Strong Oscar-winning performance by Sean Connery sets the pace for this film.

Cons: Connery's exit.

The Bottom Line: Great story, great cast, and two of the best actors of all time.

Pros: Connery, De Niro

Cons: Some "gory" scenes

Review: If I remember right, De Palma directed Scarface. In my opinion, this one is as good if not better.
Right from the opening music, I'm hooked. I am a huge fan of Connery and De Niro, but in actuality, I think that Costner leaves a little bit to be...

Pros: Great Action, Great plot, good history in the setting, true story

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: This movie is a must buy for all action movies lovers.

Review: This movie has to do with the prohibition law on the 1920's and 1930's. The prohibition law is a law mad in the 1920's through 1930's where drinking achool was illegal. Since Drinking achohol was illegal for all ages, there were many problems woth gangs...
