American Buffalo (1996)
Long-repressed feelings of bitterness and betrayal explode when three inner-city losers plot the robbery of a valuable coin in a seedy second-hand junk shop.
A feast for the actors, but the movie itself is very stagebound and nerve–rackingly talkative.
Halliwell**: "A conversation piece that shows its theatrical origins, but survives the transition to the screen thanks to Mamet's demotic dialogue and the expert performances it receives."
New Stuff: John Cale
Radical 2016 reworking of 1982 masterpiece from founding member of The Velvet Underground, plus the original album remastered & expanded with 3 previously unreleased bonus tracks.
American Sniper (2014)
Navy S.E.A.L. sniper Chris Kyle's pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and turns him into a legend.
Professionally directed, but quite unpolitical and cursory study of a war hero's life; the (many) conventional war scenes are staged as timeless and with hardly context to the actual conflict.
Powwow Highway (1989)
Two Native Amercans leave the Reservation to take a road trip across the badlands of the American Midwest to save one's sister from unjust imprisonment.
Likable Native American feel-good road movie with a slight political stance, but otherwise it's a meandering tale with a colorful cast of characters.
Halliwell (no star): "Rambling road movie that comes to the conclusion that it is morally justifiable for the exploited to lie, cheat and steal."
Maltin***: "Not a totally successful film, but unusual and satisfying, with a standout performance by Farmer, an immensely likable actor who makes his character both endearing and ennobling."
