Castle Keep is not exactley a normal war film infact I thought it was realy wierd and some parts just didn't fit in and didn't make any sense. The film plays out like a slow paced drama where some of the soldiers are talking about philisophical stuff and the meaning of life and blah blah ect, ...
A wonderful, thinking man's, neo-traditional Western. Burt excels as the lawdog made of granite. He doesn't bend, he doesn't trade. He wavers for a brief moment, but the inexorable workings of the patterns of his life pull him back into line. The flickers that pass over his tired face are a ...
I haven't seen this movie since it came out over 30 years ago, but not from lack of trying. There are either legal issues preventing it's re-release or else, as this film itself wants to convince, the powers that be do not want anyone to see it.
Robert Aldrich had already made his great moral ...
Those are the immortal words of the mystical Jeweller in this film, played wonderfully by Burt Lancaster.

"He can shoot ... and he knows when to move" (the segundo)
Seeing this movie for the first time on the old TNT Western Theatre back in the early 1990s, don't know why I waited this long to enter a review. Also, I know nothing of altered or cut scenes from this movie, the Sharps rifle shoot has ...

Bertolucci's massive epic has wonderful and grim moments, and is a must for every serious cinema buff. That said, it isn't for everyone and demands much of the viewer. Dominique Sanda's performance alone is worth your time, to say nothing of De Niro back in the days when he still acted...
I remember when this film came out and how people dared to compare it to Lancaster's 50s classic THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS in which he played a similar type of scum, with an edge. SCANDAL SHEET isn't actually unworthy of the comparison and in some ways it's almost better than the original. Burt ...

Terrific Newman Performance in Lesser Known Altman Flick
+ Intriguing Idea But A Bit Shallow
Robert Altman's expertise at framing and then exposing the three dimensions of show business, of presentation and performance, place and status, ala Nashville, Gosford Park, A Praire Home Companion, The Player, The Company and Kansas City (to name a few), gets the interesting, ironical and ...
