Kiss of Death ** (1995, David Caruso, Nicolas Cage, Samuel L. Jackson, Helen Hunt, Stanley Tucci) – Classic Movie Review 2067

David Caruso stars as ex-con Jimmy Kilmartin who battles Nicolas Cage’s psychotic mobster Little Junior Brown in a basic, nastily violent crime thriller flick that’s no more than a cheesy B-movie. It’s flashy and atmospheric, but […]

Writer-star-director Stanley Tucci’s freewheeling 1998 old-style slapstick comedy is engagingly silly, fast-moving entertainment. Tucci and Oliver Platt do a Laurel and Hardy double act as Arthur and Maurice, out-of-work actors on the run – from just […]
