Clockwork Orange

Masterful film from a master movie maker. Stanley Kubrick adapted the William Burroughs novel for the screen. Amazing how both of them had a vision of the future that is remarkably accurate in retrospect....gangs, drugs, street violence, alienation, youth culture.

Street thug ( Malcolm McDowell) is arrested and put into a rehabilitation program geared toward turning him away from violence. It is so strange and disturbing that by the end of the film we are actually hoping our anti-hero goes back to his old ways.

Fascinating, disturbing, violent, and surprisingly funny at times.

Who would have thought a comedy with Sylvester Stallone would be funny?

Broad farce 1991 Jon Landis comedy stars Stallone, Marisa Tomei, Peter Riegert, Tim Curry, Chazz Palminteri.

30s gangster Snaps Provolone (Stallone) promises his dying father he will give up his life of crime and go straight. It doesn't work out so well. Mistaken identities, crooked bankers, a crafty future son-in-law, and more complications all conspire to keep Da Boss in Da Biz. Much to our delight.

Very funny, surprisingly so. Hey, is Peter Riegert doing a Bugs Bunny impersonation?

Great cast (Tomei, Curry et al) make this fun. Enjoy.
