Serpico (1973)


The true story about an honest New York cop who blew the whistle on rampant corruption in the force only to have his comrades turn against him.

Gripping realistic police drama with an excellent, but quite domineering lead performance.

Halliwell *: "A harrowing true story played with authentic gloom and violence."

Maltin ***1/2: "Tough, exciting filmization of Peter Maas book."

New Stuff: The Master


Supposedly the best movie of 2012.

Agnes of God (1985)


When a naive novice nun is discovered with a dead newborn in her convent quarters, a court appointed psychiatrist investigates her case.

Fairly interesting and well played mystery drama that clumsily aims for some depth confronting faith and reason, but seems dated by today's standards and is occasionally risible.

Halliwell *: "Heavy hysterical weather with no clear solution, but a gield day for three actresses."

Maltin ***1/2: "Distrubing, not always satisfying, but electrified by three lead performances, and beautifully photographed by Sven Nykvist."
