Leonard Maltin's Worst Ratings: 2. Taxi Driver (1976)
http://maltinsworstratings.blogspot.com/2012/11/taxi-driver-1976.html
2 Taxi Driver (1976). Leonard Maltin's Rating :. IMDB Rating : 8.5. Rotten Tomatoes Rating : 98%. Leonard really seemed to miss a great movie here. He said in his two star review : "To some, Scorsese and writer Paul Scrader's perception of hell- as a crazed taxi driver's vision of NYC - was brilliant. To us, this gory, cold-blooded story of a sick man's lurid descent into violence is ugly and unredeeming.". The 2012 Sight and Sound Poll, probably the most prestigious of all the film lists, has Taxi Driver.

It is a controversial movie, but the filmmaker, Spike Lee, should be rewarded, not penalized for making it. An exciting, beautifully filmed movie. The three star rating is an insult to this great film. Troubling, much discussed - these are good things when we are talking about movies - right? It Happen...

http://notrogerebert.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-distant-trumpet.html
Friday, April 17, 2015. I recently watched Raoul Walsh's A Distant Trumpet. 1964) I wasn't expecting too much. It's rating on IMDB was 6.4 and the critics hadn't been kind to it. They liked the color, and some were impresses with the use of subtitles for the Apaches speaking their own language but overall it was seen as dull. War Eagle : For many days my eyes watched you. You followed you like the wolf across many mesas, down the canyons. Why? Lt Hazard : I search for War Eagle. War Eagle : I am War Eagle.

Sunday, March 29, 2015. The Greatest Show on Earth? The Greatest Show on Earth. 1952) is on many Worst Best Picture Oscar lists. I decided to watch it again to see what I thought. I think the circus scenes were great, and I don't think we will ever see anything like it again on the screen (without using CGI) , but ultimately the plot let down the movie. But, the movie is still worth seeing for the great circus scenes, but It definitely was not a good Best Picture Oscar winner. My name is Jack and I love ...
