You know Doc, one of the greatest Westerns of all time is, without question, The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Shot on a shoestring in the Spanish desert, Sergio Leone showed us a style of filmmaking not previously seen in the genre. This was no John Wayne-in-Monument Valley picture.

Malone Downtown Cinema (with Malone) Reviews FRANKENHOOKER (Blu-Ray Review)
April 24th, 2012 Malone Hey Doc, let me ask you a question: Do you remember the 1980’s? Remember how science and computers were all the rage? You didn’t have to know anything about how either one worked, but you could create beautiful women or launch a global nuclear war with just a couple of keystrokes and a modem that […]
“We Bought a Zoo”, but was It Worth It? (Blu-Ray Review)
April 16th, 2012 Malone Cameron Crowe (“Say Anything”, “Jerry Maguire”) is the master of romantic comedy. Very few directors can pull off that perfect emotional blend of sadness and humor that turns an audience to putty in his hands. But as we know, nobody’s perfect and Crowe’s last narrative film, 2005’s “Elizabethtown” was a critical and box office flop. […]

April 2nd, 2012 Malone Nine months ago in the Hollywood Hills, there was a great big orgy. Many A-listers were in attendance much to the chagrin of their publicists and the booze was an endless river that fueled the night (and much of the next day). That fateful evening, a threesome gave way to a pregnancy and on April […]

March 25th, 2012 Malone Hey Doc, Malone here. This time around, I was lucky enough to check out Roman Polanski’s masterpiece, “Chinatown” in dazzling Blu (available April 3rd from Paramount.) As soon as that famous mountain appeared in glorious sepia tone, I remembered exactly how much I love this film. Once in a blue moon, a movie comes along […]
