11/08/02: The good, bad, and ugly of Brian de Palma

Posted By: HomeSkillet


Good: The Untouchables (fun script, good period detail, Connery's best performance) Scarface (despite Pacino's over-the-top performance) Carlito's Way (great Godfather homage, though Critico's prolly right about Pacino being miscast) Mission: Impossible (terrific editing and 3 superb action sequences) Blow-Out (nice work by Travolta and Nancy Allen) Carrie (still the best big-scare horror movie ending)

Bad: Mission to Mars (lame and boring) Raising Cain (farfetched)

Ugly: Snake Eyes (for Nic Cage's hideous jacket and for giving too much away too soon)

Haven't seen: Body Double
