Night at the Golden Eagle (2001)
This is a Night You Will Never Forget! Performances A++++
Director Adam Rifkin captures the dark "sweaty" world of Downtown L.A. in this remarkable effort. With a miniscule budget and limited resources, he manages to pull off a film that reminds me of the stuff that made movies like Midnight Cowboy great. As a professional in the film industry, I totally appreciate the way he develops and breathes life into the slowly dying characters and the dispassionate surroundings. This is a movie that couild have only been done WITHOUT the help of the damn studios and their team of girls and girly-boys who wouldn't know character development or good dialogue from a rats ass -- this is due to the fact that they live and breathe the idiot box and watch crap like Friends and Ally MacSqueal and Sex in the City. Attention studio executives and underpaid development folk! Watch this film and understand there is a need for movies with REAL characters.
PS Vinny Argiro and Donny Shacks are ass-kicking!!!! A performance that will knock you on your azzz.

Deuces Wild (2002)
One of the best gang films to come along in my lifetime.
Although the direction isn't perfect, the performances and the screenplay are top notch. I want to see this again!!! The fight scenes are like nothing I have ever seen and the overall look of the film, is a romantic memory for all people who have lived through the 1950's. This one is a winner and should prove to be strong, even against SPIDEY. Way to go guys!!!
Spider-Man (2002)
This overhyped comic-movie is just NOT GOOD.
Perhaps the most overhyped motion picture since INDEPENDENCE DAY, this movie does NOT deliver the goods. It takes a whole hour for the fun to begin and then the fun isn't so great. The effects look cheap and rushed considering the budget and the story drags along like a worthless snail. There is NO chemistry between the cast (WHO CAST THIS DAMN THING?!) and it is just one big disappointment. Go see DEUCES WILD instead.
