Raging Bull: Review

This brutal and emotionally devastating movie, based on the life of middleweight boxing champion Jake LaMotta, has been hailed as the finest American movie of the 1980s, and with good reason. Robert De Niro — who gained 50 pounds to play the older, heavier LaMotta — gives what is perhaps the best performance of his career, while Thelma Schoonmaker's editing and Martin Scorsese's direction are nothing short of brilliant.

A Likable Host for a Long, Low-Key Oscars | Roush Dispatch | 2/26/2007
The one thing I realized as Oscar night droned on and on for nearly four hours: If I ever had to choose someone to be stranded with for hours on end (say, like those poor Jet Blue passengers a few weeks ago), it would have to be Ellen DeGeneres.Keeping her cool, and her genuine aura of chipper goodwill, throughout three costume changes (in suits from red velvet to all-white to royal blue) and what seemed once again like an overindulgent excess of movie montages (we definitely could have done without Michael Mann’s fuzzy survey of cinematic American history), Ellen was welcome nearly every time she popped up. Offering a spec script to Martin Scorsese, directing Steven Spielberg on how to take her photo with Clint Eastwood, asking the megastars in the front row to lift their legs as she vacuumed the Kodak past midnight (ET), while informing us that Helen Mirren had just asked for a rum and coke (sounded pretty good to me at the time), Ellen did her darndest to deflate the bloat... read more
