In this episode, which is part of my series, Mike Leigh Movie Reviews, I will be reviewing Another Year, which starred Leslie Manville, Ruth Sheen and Jim Broadbent.

In this episode, I’ll be not only doing a Midnight Cowboy Movie Review, but will also be joined by the Author of Shooting Midnight Cowboy Art, Sex, Loneliness, Liberation, And The Making Of A Dark Classic, Glenn Frankel. We will be discussing both the movie and his book in length. Glenn’s book is one of the best Film books I have ever read. He goes into detail about what led each person to create this film, including the Midnight Cowboy novel by Jim Herlihy. The book else explores the politics of late 60s America, which has a lot to do with the themes of Midnight Cowboy. Midnight Cowboy was Directed by John Schlesinger. The screenplay was by Waldo Salt and it starred Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight.

In this episode, I explain why Marlon Brando Was Perfect For Shakespeare! Marlon Brando played Marc Antony in the 1953 Film adaptation of Julius Caesar. He played Marc Antony. His use of the text and emotional life is the type of Actor the great Shakespeare plays need to come alive.

In this episode, which is part of my series, Movie Reviews. I will be reviewing Do The Right Thing, which starred Spike Lee, Danny Aiello and John Turturro. Plus, Summer Of Sam, which starred John Leguizamo, Mira Sorvino and Adrien Brody. Both of these movies are Spike Lee joints. My guest for this live video review is Dave Voigt who is a writer and film critic.

In this episode, which is a part of our series, Italian Movie Reviews, we review LA Strada, which was directed by Federico Fellini and starred Anthony Quinn and Giulietta Mesina. Is it a Movie? Or is it a Film? Or both?
