“Abstract silver screen dreams of Monica Vitti, Michelangelo Antonioni, and all the great Italian cinema made at Cinecittà in the 1960s.”
Gwendolyn Audrey Foster
“I dreamed I was in bed and the bed was moving. I looked down and it was on quicksand. It was sinking deeper and deeper. There’s something terrible about reality and I don’t know what it is. No one will tell me.”

One of three films at Tribeca about gang warfare between the Crips and the Bloods, Antoine Fuqua-produced docu, directed by 32-year-old Los Angeles gang member Cle “Bone” Sloan, steps back from the vicious cycle of death and revenge long enough to answer the question, “How did we get here?” with economy and clarity. Tracing the evolution of the gangs through a history of racism and externally encouraged divisiveness, “Bastards” indicates paths away from self-genocide as it reveals the face of a common enemy. Must-see docu reps a promising start for Fuqua’s independent production venture.Read More »
Frank Sinatra stars in this biography of Joe E. Lewis – one of the great entertainers of the twenties and latterly as a stand up comic in the forties through to the sixties. This after he was beaten almost to death and his face slashed and part of his tongue cut off by the gangsters who ran the joint he worked out of when he threatened to leave. Sinatras performance is one of his very best as an actor and the supporting cast – including Eddie Albert, Jackie Coogan and Mitzi Gaynor – are also very good.Read More »

Of course, it was necessary to tone down the more erotic passages of Winsor’s novel, but the end result pleased fans of the book and bluenosed nonfans alike. A last-minute replacement for British import Peggy Cummins, Linda Darnell steps into the role of 17th century blonde bed-hopper Amber as though she’d been born to play it. Read More »
