"I'm working on my pilot, and it's gonna be a big hit, and I'm gonna be fine.” But
when I finish shooting ... I work obsessively on the assigned scene with my
Partners in Life costar, Joe Guzaldo, and for the first time in my life I feel like a
real actor. I buy my last-minute plane ticket to the East Coast ($616, which in
1989 is a shit-ton of money for a schmo like me), get down to Baltimore, and go
right to the production office— ..."

"Seitdem dieser verzwickte Thriller das Publikum und die Kritiker 1995 verblüffte und einen Oscar für Christopher McQuarries wendungsreiches Drehbuch erhielt, spaltet Die üblichen Verdächtigen die Filmliebhaber in zwei Lager. Während viele Zuschauer sich sehr am inzwischen berühmten zentralen Geheimnis des Films erfreuten (nämlich: "Wer ist Keyser Söze?"), lassen andere sich nicht so sehr beeindrucken von einem Film, der zu sehr in seine ..."

"As Good As It Gets For all of its conventional plotting about an obsessive-compulsive curmudgeon (Jack Nicholson) who improves his personality at the urging of his gay neighbour (Greg Kinnear) and a waitress (Helen Hunt) who inspires his best behaviour, this is one of the sharpest Hollywood comedies of the 1990s. Nicholson could play his role in his sleep (the Oscar he won should have gone to Robert Duvall for The Apostle), but his misc ..."
"As Good as it Gets is one of the sharpest Hollywood comedies of the 1990s, for all of its conventional plotting about an obsessive-compulsive curmudgeon (Jack Nicholson) who improves his personality at the urging of his gay neighbour (Greg Kinnear) and particularly a waitress (Helen Hunt) who inspires his best behaviour. It's questionable whether a romance between Hunt and the much older Nicholson is entirely believable, but this movie' ..."
"Mit einem Budget von 68 Millionen Dollar war die epische Miniserie From the Earth to the Moon, die im April und Mai 1998 ihre Erstausstrahlung erlebte, die bis dato teuerste Produktion des amerikanischen Kabelsenders HBO. Von Tom Hanks, der auch als ausführender Produzent fungierte, durch das Programm geführt, versucht sich der Film an der scheinbar entmutigenden Herausforderung, die gesamte Historie des US-amerikanischen Apollo-Weltrau ..."

"Sorti en 1995 sur les écrans, Usual Suspects a mis dans sa poche bon nombre de cinéphiles, et agacé pas mal de ceux qui se sont laissé piéger par ce scénario alambiqué à souhait, au montage particulièrement maîtrisé et au rebondissement final digne des plus grands films du genre. Quelques années après, que reste-t-il du deuxième film de Bryan Singer ? D'abord, une excellente surprise pour tous ceux qui l'on déjà vu : Usual Suspect ..."
""Rien ne va plus, il y a quelque chose de pourri au royaume de l'Amérique", semble chuchoter la caméra démiurgique de Martin Scorsese. Proche des Affranchis, dont il reprend le procédé de la voix-off et la structure ascension/destruction – les deux films sont coécrits par Nick Pillegi – sans oublier les figures de la famille scorsesienne, Robert de Niro et Joe Pesci en tête, Casino laisse KO debout. Tel un tourbillon enivrant, ce flambo ..."
"Regisseur Martin Scorsese hat sich für dieses dreistündiges Epos erneut mit einigen Mitgliedern seiner Crew aus GoodFellas zusammengetan (Autor Nicholas Pileggi, Schauspieler Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci und Frank Vincent). Der Film handelt von Aufstieg und Fall des Gangsters Sam "Ace" Rothstein (De Niro), der auf der Figur des echten Gangsters, Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, basiert. Das Ergebnis ist eine Mischung aus Wise Guys, GoodFellas und ..."
"Vincent D'Onofrio is one of our most aggressively commanding actors, and he makes a good choice to impersonate Yippie activist Abbie Hoffman. All loping, shambly charm and occasional frenzied explosiveness, D'Onofrio's Hoffman is close enough to the real thing that, just like the Yippies themselves, he appears magnetic and forceful to the already converted, but a fraudulent, egomaniacal hambone to everyone else. (Even those unimpressed ..."
