He’s a comic workaholic, a tireless spinner of jokes, gags, sketches, sex comedies, murder mysteries, chamber pieces, ensemble dramas, fictional biopics, false documentary and ragtime jazz. He’s been at it since he was 15 and commuted from Brooklyn to churn out punch lines for $40 a week. His is a formidable discipline: writing, directing, exercising, practicing the clarinet, going to bed and...

J.J. Hunsecker: What's this boy got that Susie likes?
Sidney Falco: Integrity - acute, like indigestion.

Homeward
The hallowed lands so far behind As fleeting dreams still linger Like distant voices through the rain Like grains of sand cast from my hands I never thought I’d go this far Without a star to cross the seas So far from shores I’d left behind Still far from shores I’ve yet to reach I try to find the strength I need To calm the doubts in my belief With the will, I know my heart...

I compagni spirituali della gioventù sono gli amici e i libri. Gli amici hanno corpi in carne e ossa e mutano di continuo. Gli entusiasmi che ardono in una fase si raffreddano in quella successiva, cedendo ad altri ardori e ad altri amici. In certo senso, ciò vale anche per i libri. Può darsi che un libro, che ci esaltò da ragazzi, riletto anni dopo perda tutto il suo fascino e risulti soltanto il...

“Once Upon A Time In America” Sergio Leone’s epic tale of gangs in New York was masterful filmmaking. Stunning cinematography combined with expert storytelling and stand out performances were not enough to earn so much as a nomination in the year of “Amadeus”.

Michael Jackson - “Liberian Girl” (1989)
Sad, tragic news. The King of pop is no longer with us. A lot of videos would probably seem a better choice here, sure he had bigger hits and better clips, I’m not going to argue over it. But I haven’t seen anybody post this, and I thought that, in a way, it perfectly fits the occasion. This is just a parade of Michael’s celebrity friends looking...

Can you feel it?
Per me rimane uno dei primi musicisti che abbia mai ascoltato. L’idolo di quando ero bambino. Quello che provavo ad imitare, di nascosto, in cameretta. E non solo. Michael Jackson è stato uno dei più grandi. Un genio puro. Vero. Il più grande performer della storia della musica. Se ne va con centinaia (e non lo dico tanto per) canzoni memorabili ed un paio di dischi davvero incredibili...

12. John Belushi, Neighbors (1981) At least give John Belushi credit for trying something different with his poorly received final film, Neighbors. In a bid to finally escape the “Fatty fall down, make funny” straitjacket, Belushi switched roles with Dan Aykroyd early in production, opting to play a milquetoast suburban everyman whose life is tuned upside down by his outrageous new next-door...

Oh, mother!
The common belief that one dog year is equal to seven human years could just as easily be applied to female actors as Alsatians. It must be down to the Californian water, but something seems to happen to the women in LA so that they speed through the years at a far swifter rate than that of their male contemporaries. According to film casting agents, anyway. It is all too easy for a female actor...

Donnie Brasco (1997)
FBI Technician: What's forget about it?
Donnie Brasco: 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.

Being a "Female Filmmaker"
When Kathryn Bigelow makes an intense action film like “The Hurt Locker”, the fact that she’s a she becomes a major topic of conversation. So why isn’t the same true when a man directs a movie for a *female* audience? That sort of double standard is the subject of this week’s IFC News podcast, along with further discussion of Bigelow’s career and some of our...
