Read more: Les Misérables In Concert: The 25th Anniversary EditionIf you are a reader and fan of Ruthless, you know why you are here and what we do. We love our movies, especially classics, and of course the low-brow favorites in our 80’s Action and Horror Movies. We have also been known to mock and rant with impunity, with no sacred cows anywhere in…

Read more: 20th Century Duvall: Part 4-WesternsThe Westerns: True Grit (1969), Lawman (1971), The Great Northfield, Minnesota Raid (1972), Joe Kidd (1972) & Geronimo: An American Legend (1995) I don’t know too much about John Wayne, except he always seemed to play a similar character: tough, gruff and self-reliant. A man’s man. Didn’t dress in pink much, you know? In the…

Read more: 20th Century Duvall: Part 2-ActionAction: Bullitt (1968), The Killer Elite (1975) & Breakout (1975) Despite being the best part of sixty years old and having no action in its first twenty minutes, Bullitt still feels fresh and unusual. It might be famed for its superb, eleven-minute car chase, but I take as much pleasure in its taut, understated feel.…

20th Century Duvall: Part One

Author:
Read more: 20th Century Duvall: Part OneDespite a career lasting more than six decades, a hand in some of the most luminous films of all time and a Best Actor Oscar, Robert Duvall remains curiously unfamous. I suspect if you showed his picture to twenty people in the street, hardly anyone would identify him. Perhaps this is because he prefers supporting…

Read more: The Green Mile (1999)Since I’m the one who is indeed fresh out of the big house, why shouldn’t I be the one to write a review about that other great prison movie?

Read more: Starring Debuts #23: Michael Caine in Zulu (1964)Caine left it late to become a major player, wading through almost twenty bit parts and slipping into his thirties before Zulu catapulted him to stardom. In truth, his role as Victoria Cross recipient Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead is not among my faves, partly because he doesn’t get to do a lot. It is a notable…

Read more: Starring Debuts # 22: Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian (1982)Arnie actually made his starring debut in 1970’s Hercules in New York (in which he must have been about sixteen) but I’m going to ignore it because it’s a cheapie load of embarrassing rubbish.
