The "All CRIME All the TIME" Festival


1) The Shawshank Redemption (1994) dir: Frank Darabont

"I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend."


2) Cop Land (1997) dir: James Mangold

"Listen, you deaf fuck. I offered you a chance when we could have done something, I offered you a chance to be a cop, and you blew it! You blew it."


3) Donnie Brasco (1997) dir: Mike Newell

"Forget about it is like, if you agree with someone, you know, like 'Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass', 'Forget about it'. But then, if you disagree, like a Lincoln is better than a Cadillac? Forget about it! You know? But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like mingia those peppers, forget about it. But it's also like saying, 'Go to hell' too. Like, you know, like, 'Hey Paulie, you got a one inch pecker?' and Paulie says, 'Forget about it!' Sometimes it just means forget about it."


4) A Simple Plan (1998) dir: Sam Raimi

"Do you ever feel evil?"


5) The General (1998) dir: John Boorman

"We never should have bought this house. You never own things. You never own things. The things own you."


Bonus: Citizen X (1995) dir: Chris Gerolmo

"It is embarrassing to see grown men run from their responsibilities. It is like seeing your parents drunk for the first time. They are afraid. To be a psychiatrist in this country is to be an expert on paranoia... whether you meant to be or not."

post #42 of 51

Quote:

"Jonathan Demme presents his version of an American horror film and the results are predictable. There is an attempt at manufacturing suspense in an elaborate escape sequence. But he should learn more from the masters like De Palma. Because the movie has a flat, unremarkable style. Anthony Hopkins - the great actor from The Elephant Man - deserves better than this."
- PEDRO SUSZ, PRESENCIA (August - 1991)


Quote:
"With a stellar cast, spectacular imagery, a rousing musical score and sensitive direction by Anthony Minghella, The English Patient has all the makings of a classic. An emotional, intelligent and sweeping epic romance with characters you care about and feel for. Passionately romantic and sublimely erotic, this is spectacular entertainment. It grips you from the very first frame and provides a consistently rich, engaging and satisfying experience." - ERIK A. DIDONNA, BOLIVIAN TIMES (January - 1997)

Quote:

"You know that feeling when you're at a dinner party and someone tells a really inappropriate joke? And you get it. But you're afraid to laugh. That's Happiness in a nutshell. But I think I'm selling it short. Because it's also the best film I've seen all year. My point is, see Happiness. If you see me on the street and punch me in the face, I'll understand. But see it anyway. Because you won't be able to get it out of your head for the next ten years. And I want you to have that experience."
- ERIK A DIDONNA, BOLIVIAN TIMES (December - 1998)

Quote:
"The latest action film from the Hollywood factory, repositions Andrei Konchalovski's superb Runaway Train as a stupid action movie about Los Angeles. Attempts are made to achieve the same sort of existential depth, with the characters on the bus representing different aspects of race and class. But all the focus is shifted to a superficial romance. The young people will be entertained by all the explosions. But cinema lovers who remember the greatness of Dennis Hopper will wonder why he is wasting his time with this garbage." - PEDRO SUSZ, PRESENCIA (December - 1994)
post #43 of 51

Quote:

"I am supposing that the people involved weren't sure what movie to make, so they made many movies all at once. The result is a disaster. I wanted to be captivated by the romance. But the director - Gary Sucker [sic] - keeps distracting me with violence, blood and gore. As well as unbelievable fantasy elements. Worse - a lack of any eroticism. This is like the romance of children. Patrick Swayze is as plastic as always. Newcomer Demi Moore fails to generate any interest. While Whoopi Goldberg, at least, is able to demonstrate why she is such an in-demand actress. She is the finest actress working in American movies. And the only reason, besides the novelty special effects, to see this."
PEDRO SUSZ, PRESENCIA (August - 1991)

Quote:
"It is as I predicted. The cancer of Batman has infected the modern American action film. And the latest evidence is this pale remake of The Phantom Of The Opera from newcomer Sam Raymi [sic]. If you saw Batman, you already saw this. It has the same music, the same production design, the same cinematography. And the final confrontation is on top of a giant tower with the villain escaping in a helicopter. Extremely boring." PEDRO SUSZ, PRESENCIA (June - 1991)
