The French Connection, The Exorcist, Sorceror, To Live and Die in L.A., these are just a few of the cinematic masterpieces Director William Friedkin has given to movie lovers over the years. We’re thrilled to hear that he has a new film on the way and it’s by no means playing by the usual Hollywood rules, something we at Furious Cinema not only love to see but it’s partly why [read...] 
Falling Down is proof that not all Joel Schumacher films suck (it’s mainly just his Batman movies). This is a great film that I believe should be known as a classic, among the ranks of Scarface, Die Hard and other timeless must see movies. (That is the quick review should you read no more.) “Falling Down” is a self proclaimed “tale of urban reality”, which has a meaning that becomes [read...] 
Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Gone, The Town) is back on the film scene with what looks to be an exciting, offbeat political thriller. It is based on the true story of the 1979 Iran Hostage crisis in which the United States and Canada worked together to come up with a very unique plan involving a sci-fi movie called ARGO to rescue six U.S. Diplomats who were being held captive. The [read...] 
We couldn’t do our Don Siegel retrospective without reviewing the film that features one of the international icons of popular cinema… Clint Eastwood plays “Dirty” Harry Callahan a rebellious San Francisco police homicide inspector who is investigating the killing of a woman by a serial killer called Scorpio (Andrew Robinson) a character who was inspired by the real Zodiac killer that was from the same area. Harry’s wreckless methods of [read...]

In this 1977 spy thriller, a rogue KGB agent Nikolai Dalchimski (Donald Pleasance) steals a secret book containing the names of operatives hidden all over America. They have been part of a deep cover Russian offensive called Telefon (Russian spelling of Telephone) which was a new mind control experiment that was set up during the Cuban Missile Crisis. When certain lines from a poem by author Robert Frost entitled “Stopping [read...] 
I first became aware of the rotund character actor Victor Buono from his role as the comical schizoid villain King Tut on the 1960s Batman TV series. Ever since I’ve been a fan, regarding Mr. Buono as one of those special personalities that you can never quite pin down or know really well. The kind that are forever part of that “unique eccentrics” category in your film geek world. Burt [read...] 
Ridley Scott’s latest is one of our most anticipated films of the year and from the looks of the new trailer it has epic written all over it. It’s been decades since the director of such classics as Alien and Blade Runner has worked in the science fiction genre so this is also really a return to his roots. The dynamic vision he brought to those groundbreaking projects is definitely [read...] 
PSYCHO (1960, Dir: Alfred Hitchcock) When the “Master of Suspense” set out to make this movie it was to be a modest, low budget thriller shot by the crew of his popular TV show Alfred Hitchcock Presents. As with almost all of his projects, it soon became something much more cinematically powerful and resonant. Psycho was based on the book of the same title by author Robert Bloch (which also [read...] 
In the fourth installment of the Bourne series of espionage thrillers, Jeremy Renner (The Town, The Avengers) takes over where Matt Damon left off, playing Aaron Cross, another highly skilled, deadly operative that is brought into play to deal with the consequences of Jason Bourne’s actions concerning The Treadstone organization. From this teaser trailer it looks like Renner has enough of his own panache to easily make audiences forget about [read...] |
