Movie Reviews of Hard Times
Movie Review: It's Bronson. What's NOT to like !?
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say ? It's Charles Bronson in one of his all time best roles with a supporting cast that includes, Stuther Martin (An all time great character acter who is greatly missed.) as well as the late great James Coburn.
Bronson was playing the hard hitting, strong and silent type anti hero long before Eastwood ever thought about it. He set the standard and it shows in this film.
The fight scenes are some of the best I have ever seen, the costums, dialog settings and acting are all superlative.
If you don't have this film in your library, shame on you.
Buy it !
Movie Review: Bare Knuckle
Summary: 5 Stars
Walter Hill's first movie is a Depression era tale of street fighters. Charles Bronson is Chaney, who travels from town to town, picking up money on bare knuckle fights and then moving on. James Coburn as huckster promoter Speed and Strother Martin as Poe, as a dope addict corner man. The best fight is a terrific battle in a cage between Bronson and movie bad guy the late Robert Tessier! Ol' Chuck tatooes his pointy-bald head with his fists. It is actually better than the final confronation between Chaney and a top fighter brought in by a gangster. Fun fair. This is pan and scan so be warned.Movie Review: "It makes me feel a hell of a lot better than it does him."
Summary: 5 Stars
Bronson was a man's man. No question about that. Great period piece with fantastic action fight scenes and terrific finale. James Coburn is beautiful as an incredibly sleezy frontman for Bronson's stoic warrior. The only downside to this film is Bronson's fanatical obsession with employing his wife, Jill Ireland, in some elevated role in which she typically doesn't belong. A very tiresome habit and a major distraction in this movie, otherwise flawless.
No extras on the DVD. The widescreen is a plus and the sound is about what you would expect. 5 oysters
Movie Review: HARD TIMES
Summary: 5 Stars
This has got to be one of CHARLES BRONSON'S BEST.Why this QUIET MAN never received an oscar in his liftime is beyond me.Co-starring his late wife,JILL IRELAND..good friend also gone...
JAMES COBURN & STROTHER MARTIN..all gone now...BUT not forgotten by me.The opening & closing THEME MUSIC is great.The story very believeable.I mean when they fight..during the depression time it was very believeable..can't compare to "ROCKY".The real rugged life as it was.BRONSON..should never be forgotten for such a very good role in his career.
Movie Review: Big Knockout
Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone who loves boxing movies or period pieces,DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE! The fighting scenes barehanded really capture the 1920s aura. If you can,watch this movie in widescreen with the sound up, it helps bring you into the 'hard times' experience. Their is some really simple but great dialogue in this film. The "ring doctor" plays his role uniquely and Coburn and Bronsan are believable charactors you want to know more about. Jill Irelands poor everyday girl works well. A really good and interesting movie.
