Francis Ford
Coppola's stunning vision of man's heart of darkness revealed through
the madness of the Vietnam War took five years to film in the jungles of
the Philippines. Based on Joseph Conrad's novel "Heart of
Darkness," Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) receives orders to seek
out a renegade military outpost led by the mysterious Colonel Kurtz (Marlon
Brando). Willard's mission: "Terminate with extreme
prejudice." One of the most powerful films of all time, Apocalypse
Now was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won Two for Best Sound
and Best Cinematography. |

1992 |
Well-written, ambitious in its structure, and audacious in its effects, it rewrote the rules for the crime movie, upping the ante on casual brutality and suffusing the genre with a new sheen of post-modern, character-driven cool. The story looks at what happens before and after (but not during) a botched jewelry store robbery organized by Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney). Mr. White (Harvey Keitel) is a career criminal who takes a liking to newcomer Mr. Orange (Tim Roth) and enjoys showing him the ropes. Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) is a weaselly loner obsessed with professionalism. Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) has just gotten out of jail after taking the rap on a job for Cabot; he's grateful for the work but isn't the same person he used to be. While Mr. Blonde goes nuts during the heist, the thieves are surprised by the sudden arrival of the police, and Mr. White is convinced one of their team is a cop. So who's the rat? What do they do about Mr. Blonde? And what do they do with Mr. Orange, who took a bullet in the gut and is slowly bleeding to death? ... Be warned: neither Like a Virgin nor Stuck in the Middle with You will ever sound the same after you've seen this movie." | |
