Movie Reviews of Mad Dog and Glory
Movie Review: no title
Summary: 5 Stars
Written by the same guy who wrote "Sea of Love", with Al Pacino, this somewhat remeinded me of that movie, even before I knew the connection. Stranger, but good. Bill Murray is a marvel; you can't take your eyes off him, and that is saying something in a movie that also has Robert DeNiro, who plays a real mouse. Murray is indeed the "Expediter of his dreams".Movie Review: Average Cops and Gangsters Vehicle
Summary: 3 Stars
When a retrospective of Robert DeNiro's career is done, I seriously doubt this one will be mentioned. It's mildly engaging but slight entertainment. DeNiro seems to be sleepwalking through his role of nerdy cop. Bill Murray does not really stretch himself in the gangster role. We only view him as a menacing presence because the story tells us so. Uma Thurman is adequate in her role of DeNiro's prize for saving Murray's life, but there is nothing here to suggest the range that she showed in later work. Who does distinguish himself is David Caruso as DeNiro's no-nonsense partner. If Caruso were not so self-destructive he could have had a nice career in films. I would have been more impressed with this venture had Martin Scorsese taken the directorial reigns instead of just producing it.Movie Review: Mad Dog and Glory
Summary: 2 Stars
If this movie did not have Robert DeNiro and Bill Murray in it, you probably wouldn't finish watching it. It's hard to understand how someone would have read the script or seen the rough cut and said "people are going to come see this." The plot is standard-issue "man falls in love with hooker with heart of gold and has to save her from the mafia" stuff. DeNiro's character is not really likeable and Murray's is overplayed a little, though still fun to watch. If you don't love either of these two actors, skip it.Movie Review: Waiting

I am still waiting for my order which was already paid (as it appears on my VISA statement): 3 DVD (Mad Dog and Glory, Five Easy Pieces, Tully). I sent a claim to you earlier with no response. Would you please forward this letter to the people in charge? I am really worried. Maurice EliaMovie Review: Yukk!
Summary: 1 Stars
I could not believe that a talent of the caliber of Robert De Niro could make a bad movie, but he's proved it can be done with this one. This thing is so bad it even makes Bill Murray look good, and that takes something on the order of a miracle.
I am still a big De Niro film, but I am giving this one a pass over.
De Niro Yes, Mad Dog No.
