Stanley Kubrick's "The Killing" is an interesting and well made film. It keeps you wrapped up in the story, and makes the characters very interesting as well. Despite all of the very good qualities of the film, I wasn't completely impressed. I thought that parts of the film were uninspired; especially the ending. Overall, it was still entertaining to watch and a good film. *** out of ****

I watched Bringing Up Baby for the first time today and I was laughing out loud through the whole movie. Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn are both hilarious. Bringing Up Baby is a true delight to watch. You will be laughing and laughing at the crazy situations that keep happening to Grant and Hepburn. It is a classic comedy. Watch it if you ever have the chance.

Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas" is sheer brilliance. It is a film that engages you deeply in the story and it's characters. Every aspect of the film works. Nothing is out of place.

Scorsese's directing is flawless. He fits everything in place perfectly. The narration through out the film also adds a very nice touch.

The acting is all superb. Ray Liotta portrays Henry Hill with just enough edge and fire. It is probably his finest performance to date. Robert DeNiro as Jimmy Conway is compelling and strong. He gives a top notch performance as always. Now I come to Joe Pesci who completely deserved his best supporting actor Oscar for this film. He puts so much in his role as Tommy DeVito. Whenever Pesci is on the screen he steals the show.

"Goodfellas" is one the finest movies ever made. It is a true classic.
