Do Pacino and DeNiro even care anymore?

    My dream cast for a movie would be James Woods, Christopher Walken and James Spader playing brothers.

    Love Walken when he's playing something other than a nut job set on destruction. Spader was good when he was younger. Woods hasn't had a decent script since Against All odds,

    His guest appearances on "Family Guy" and "The Simpsons" have been pretty good.

    As for a dream cast, any movie with Steve Buscemi automatically goes up at least one star.

    He's great with one liners. I always loved the line in Armageddon when he says "Hey, what happened back there, lets forget about it. We're heroes now." I know I butchered it, but it's pretty funny.

    Saw "Righteous Kill" this afternoon.

    Not bad. It's definitely one you can wait for on DVD. I enjoyed Pacino and DeNiro together. They play off each other really well. Is it anywhere near "Heat"? Nowhere close, but still enjoyable. The storyline's not too complex, either. Oh, and Carla Gugino was a very nice touch.

    I liked everything about "Heat" except the ending. Thought the shootout as the planes flew overhead was a big anti-climax. Till that scene, four stars.

    Everything I hear about "Righteous Kill" gives me a chance at being pleasantly surprised. Because the reviews are lowering my expectations to Bulgarian women's hockey team levels.

    There's no bells and whistles, but I think that's one of the reasons I liked it.

    Pacino and DeNiro do so well together, they make it seem like they've been longtime friends and drinking buddies.

    Gary Oldman needs to play a villain again in something. Watched The Professional the other night and he was definitely the greatest villain actor of the 1990s.

    I couldn't agree more. Watching those two together, you really get the feel that they were just a couple of old friends.
    Pacino and Deniro were great together, but the movie as a whole was only ok.
     
  10. Uh, Alan Rickman...

    "Die Hard" was 1988, if that's what you're referring, too. I don't think his turn in that Kevin Coster Robin Hood movie is anything to write home about.
     
  12. He made Robin Hood.. The movie would out and out suck without Rickman.

    Dogma - though I'm not sure he was a bad guy..
