Andy K (10823 KP) rated Raging Bull (1980) in Movies

Feb 15, 2018

Nothing against Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets and other Scorsese masterpieces; however, this has to be his greatest work of all time.

Robert De Niro completely transforms himself into Jake La Motta both physically, mentally and emotionally. Joe Pesci and Cathy Moriarty are also magnificent in support of the story of a courageous boxer and his fall from grace.

Film students still study the directing, cinematography and the stunning visuals of the film in glorious black and white.

The screenplay by Paul Schrader and Mardik Martin is completely believable and make you empathize with this rough, gritty character in his world when he is up on top and on his way down.

A masterpiece!

Andy K (10823 KP) rated Halloween: Resurrection (2002) in Movies

Introducing reality TV star Michael Myers!

Some people were turned off by the different style and almost humorous take on the ongoing Michael saga, but I thought it was a pleasant surprise.

Inject more young, fun actors like Busta Rhymes, Katee Sackhoff, Thomas Ian Nicholas and even Tyra Banks and what you have is a masterpiece of horror (not really, but at least something a little different).

Interesting idea to place a bunch of unknowns in Michael's childhood home as part of a reality show and watch the calamity ensue when bad things start to happen (and then the real Michael shows up).

Seems like I enjoyed more than most.
