Once Upon a Time in America (1984)
leonne claimed each film took 5 years off his life....this one was worth it
People who complain that this film is slow and that it's self indulgent should stick to films more suited to their tastes, such as xXx or other such plotless action drivel. You think this is slow?! You try cramming 50 years into 4 hours! Leonne fought for ten years to get this film made, only to have it unceremoniously butchered at the hands of some half-wit hack. Now we get to experience his true vision, and what a vision it is. Once upon a time in America is a fitting final creation from one of the greatest film-makers of all time, as it is one of the greatest films of all time-
***** out of *****
Dracula Bites the Big Apple (1979)
Uplifting, beautiful.....truly a cinematic gem
I'm baffled as to how this bonnefied masterpiece has gone unnoticed by movie goers and critics alike. It is one of those few films that will genuinley change your life and your outlook on the human condition. From the opening credits you know this is no mere movie, not just pictures on a screen. It's a poigniant tale of an outsider, a loner in a new and strange land. Dracula is missunderstood, that's what this film's all about, if we could just see beyond the teeth and the outragious accent, perhaps we'd see a man as frightened as the rest of us, just searching a big world for a little love. It's a message we'd all do well to take note of, don't just let this movie teach you to look beyond the assumptions you've made about undead counts, let it help you to do the same with all the creatures of the night, be it werewolves, zombies or just really big cats. So go, see Dracula Bites the Big Apple, and let it teach you, let it mesmerise you and let it be free..........please, just let it be free. Dracula bit the big apple, and in doing so, bit his way into our hearts. May you leave the cinema enlightened having experienced the beauty, the magic and the chins, this 'fish out of water' masterpiece has to offer. Go now! BE FREE! DRACULA HAS RELEASED HIS CHILDREN!!!
