Movie Reviews of Ragtime
Movie Review: Bountifully rewarding motion picture !
Summary: 5 Stars
The return to screen after twenty years of absence of that unique actor with remarkable and powerful magnetic presence : James Cagney , gave to that film a special shining to this anti racism work .
This is a film of revenge , but told so magnificent splendor , with multidirectional narrative lines that will engage you from beginning to end . Carefully filmed , with a superb art direction and outstanding performances . Breathtaking tension in the climax sequence .
To me it is the masterpiece of Milos Foreman , sharing with Amadeus an enviable place , But watch the previous filmography of M.F. in Europe and you will be surprised with the loves of a blond .
Movie Review: "Genius--Right in the Kisser!"
Summary: 5 Stars
I was entranced by Doctorow's book, and the following movie was not a disappointment. The weaving of the lives of famous and infamous people, accurately, with those of fictional characters makes for a believable and charming story that spans years, even decades. The highlights of the movie are the hijinks of Houdini and the Irish police comissioner. We get to see Jimmy Cagney in one of his last roles and he is perfect for the part--even better than in some of his more famous roles, I believe. If you have never read the book or seen the film, you owe it to yourself to indulge in this treat.Movie Review: The Long Good Bye
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie that is often overlooked when it comes to the career of James Cagney. This was his last major role before his death. When watching this movie, you can gain a real sense of what a tremendous actor Cagney was in his hey day. This file is also notable for the debut of Elizabeth McGovern. The supporting cast is tremendous--Donald O'Connor,Harold Rollins, & Mary Steenburgen just to name a few of the great actors & actresses that make this a must own movie.Movie Review: A great film's long overdue DVD release
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been waiting for "Ragtime" to be released on DVD ever since I purchase a DVD player! I expected this release during the run of the wonderful musical version on Broadway, but I'm glad to have it now. I don't believe there is reason for concern as far as the running time is concerned, though. (...) There are marvelous performances all around, and it's a bittersweet pleasure to again be able to witness the stellar performance by the late Howard E. Rollins Jr.Movie Review: An underated classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
This has long been one of my favorite films. The script, acting, cinematography and set pieces are all breathtaking. I have always felt that this should have been Howard E. Rollins' breakthrough film, but alas that was not to be. Also, seeing Cagney on the big screen once again, actually brought tears to my eyes in the theater. I have worn out my double VHS copy, so having this great film on DVD is a dream come true for me. Rent it or buy it, just watch it.
