Read more: Dead End (2003)I’ve been reviewing Christmas Movies for Ruthless for over a decade now. Needless to say, the well is about to run dry. I refuse to review the Hallmark or Hallmark type sappy dreck. A few is enough. However, I did not want to completely abandon my unhinged and relentless pursuit of this obsession. Therefore, I…

Chato’s Land (1972)

Read more: Chato’s Land (1972)Chato’s Land is not a happy movie or your usual Western. It is not a funny film, or one for viewers who cannot tolerate vile bigotry and brutal and explicit rape. However, it is a movie that showcases the laconic Charles Bronson at his most ripped and bad-assed best. If you thought the villains in…

Read more: The StingThe Sting is one of those movies that makes cinephiles envious of anyone who is watching this gorgeous movie for the first time. A winner of 7 Academy Awards, this film also stars the tandem of Paul Newman and Robert Redford in their finest effort together. Noteworthy is that even with a wheelbarrow full of…

The Odd Couple (1968)

Author:
Read more: The Odd Couple (1968)The Odd Couple is a classic comedy from another time, a different era, no, another planet. It was not violent or vulgar and men wore coats and ties, even to poker games. None of this is what really sets this movie apart from today’s fare.

Read more: Bodacious Ruthless BBQ BeansWell, why not share a recipe for BBQ Beans here at Ruthless? There is not much else going on, so we might as well celebrate July 4th with something other than beer and fireworks.

Last night I watched a baseball movie, Moneyball, and Brad Pitt was again his magnificent self. Brad Pitt is Billy Beane, the General Manager of the 2002 Oakland A’s. Billy Beane…
