“Pretty Woman” Movie Review
“Pretty Woman” Plot Summary
A man in a legal but hurtful business needs an escort for some social events, and hires a beautiful prostitute he meets… only to fall in love.
A winning romantic comedy.
Garry Marshall may not be the most interesting director working in Hollywood, but his movies are definitely entertaining, and in that sense he is successful. Perhaps his two greatest films, which also are the ones he’ll most likely be remembered for, are ‘Beaches’ and ‘Pretty Woman’. One of the most commercially successful (almost $500m worldwide!!) romantic comedies of all time,’Pretty Woman’ is a charming modern day fairy tale that works largely in part to the phenomenal on-screen chemistry between its two stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. In an Academy Award nominated performance as Vivian Ward, Julia Roberts truly shines. Her screen presence is nothing short of radiating, not to mention she’s a highly skilled comedic actress. The film also owes a lot to its equally strong supporting performances from Jason Alexander, Laura San Giacomo and Hector Elizondo. All cliches aside, it’s highly enjoyable and stands up superbly even after repeated viewings, a definite 10/10.

“Taxi Driver” Movie Review
“Taxi Driver” Plot Summary
A mentally unstable Vietnam war veteran works as nighttime taxi driver in a city whose perceived decadence and sleaze feeds his urge to violently lash out, attempting to save a teenage prostitute in the process.
Best movie of the Seventies, and one of the greatest of all time.
So much has been written and talked about ‘Taxi Driver’ that it seems almost redundant to add anything more. But watching it again the other night for the nth time I was, as I have been every single time I’ve seen it, struck by just how perfect this movie is. It is as powerful and disturbing now as it was twenty-five years ago. It has not only NOT aged, it gets better and more relevant every year. This is without doubt a modern classic, and one of the handful of truly great, timeless movies
Scorsese and Schrader went on to make other great movies after this, both separately (‘The King Of Comedy’, ‘Light Sleeper’) and together (‘Raging Bull’, ‘The Last Temptation Of Christ’), but this is easily the best movie of their careers. And Robert De Niro’s too. He has yet to top his stunning performance here as the deeply disturbed and alienated Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle, cabbie and would be assassin. This character has not surprisingly entered movie legend. Scorsese surrounds De Niro with a first rate supporting cast, including small but effective roles from Harvey Keitel (‘Reservoir Dogs’), Peter Boyle (‘Hardcore’), the underrated Victor Argo (‘The King Of New York’) and Joe Spinell (‘Maniac’). Albert Brooks and Jodie Foster are also very good, and even Cybil Shepherd, the butt of many jokes, is fine as Bickle’s obsession
When you combine these actors, Schrader’s outstanding script, and Scorsese’s brilliant direction, with the stunning cinematography (Michael Chapman) and haunting score (Hitchcock fave Bernard Herrmann’s final effort), you have yourself a truly unforgettable cinematic experience. If you haven’t seen ‘Taxi Driver’ I urge you to do so immediately. It is a masterpiece, pure and simple.

“Raging Bull” Movie Review
“Raging Bull” Plot Summary
An emotionally self-destructive boxer’s journey through life, as the violence and temper that leads him to the top in the ring, destroys his life outside it.
Incredible acting
‘Raging Bull’ is a masterpiece of filmmaking. It is entertaining, but to me, it is more of a technical movie than an entertaining movie
The acting is undescribable. Some terrific performances are featured in this film, especially Robert De Niro’s performance, which is the stuff of legends. It was probably one of the most predictable Academy Awards ever that year, because Robert De Niro just blew everyone else away. Joe Pesci brings us another amazing performance. Martin Scorsese’s directing is near perfect, and we are treated to great black and white cinematography. Basically everything about this movie had ‘OSCAR’ stamped on its forehead
Although ‘Raging Bull’ is, in a technical sense, one of the greatest movies ever made, it fails to entertain on all levels. There are many moments in the movie that are incredibly entertaining, however, there are some moments where it just seems to be too slow-paced. I am usually all for slow-paced movies, as it helps to build up the plot and the characters, but I feel that ‘Raging Bull’ could have been cut short 15 or 20 minutes and it would have been more entertaining, and still just as great when it comes to all the technical aspects
Sum-up: If you are looking for some of the best acting you will ever see, look no further than ‘Raging Bull.’ If you want entertainment, you will find it in ‘Raging Bull’, but it probably won’t be as much entertainment as you want.

“Dog Day Afternoon” Movie Review
“Dog Day Afternoon” Plot Summary
A man robs a bank to pay for his lover’s operation; it turns into a hostage situation and a media circus.
It’s just a great movie!
I’ve seen this movie and for me it’s Al Pacino at his best! The movie has a very simple premise, two guys rob a bank, but everything that can go wrong does. In the beginning the women who work in the bank are afraid, but once the situation escalates into a sideshow, some the women become comfortable with the situation. Basically, the entire movie is in the bank and all types of comedy and drama surrounds it. This is Al Pacino early in his career and for anyone who hasn’t seen the movie, I definitely recommend it. Just keep in mind between all the madness you see in the film that this is a true story, and very entertaining!
