A Review of MacGruber
Saturday Night Live films. I know what many are thinking now. And they are absolutely right. With the exception of The Blues Brothers (an essential classic), any film based on a Saturday Night Live sketch has been absolute poison. Even … Continue reading
Dennis Hopper 1934-2010
Very few American actors can create performances that look so completely natural viewers forget they are performing. Think Jack Nicholson. Think Marlon Brando. Think Dennis Hopper. Hopper’s public persona was virtually identical to any performances he gave. Each character he … Continue reading
