The Godfather
Film Review March 28, 1997
by Marjorie Baumgarten
Description: The 1972 Best Picture Oscar-winner is a great pulp drama co-authored for the screen by Coppola and novelist Mario Puzo (the script also won an Oscar). The casting is also great, with Brando delivering one of the signature performances of his career (he, too, won an Oscar), and the very young Pacino seizing his screen destiny.

"...The third in the Italian master Antonioni's English-language trilogy (after Blow Up and Zabriskie Point), it is also his most articulate and evocative. Nicholson was also at his first peak of broad popularity (The Passenger was made the same year as his Oscar-winning turn in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), and co-star Schneider was just coming off her pas de beurre with Marlon Brando in Last Tango in Paris..."

"...He touched on his long editorship at The Sunday Times of London, where he broke major stories on KGB spy Kim Philby and victims of the drug thalidomide.

Description: It's all about the snitches in two new Criterion releases
"...In Terence Stamp, another initial outsider of sorts, Frears got a leading man who could well have been the notorious UK turncoat Bertie Smalls, who provided the inspiration for Stamp's informant, Willie Parker (and whose real-life testimony prompted his "associates" in the prisoners' dock to break into an impromptu version of "We'll Meet Again"). The empyrean face and icy blue eyes of her majesty's thespian brigade of the 1960s, Stamp spent most of the next decade digesting the previous one until Richard Donner dangled Marlon Brando in Superman (1978)..."

"...Biker films first gained popularity in 1953 with Marlon Brando in The Wild One, but they really took off in the Sixties. Future stars such as Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern, Diane Ladd, Peter Fonda, and John Cassavetes all took leading roles in biker films before going on to respectable careers..."
Should Turn Article Into Screenplay
Postmarks December 28, 2007
"...I don't think Bilich has ever met a stranger. He is the nicest, most sincere guy! He's very funny, and he truly loves Austin! He reminds me of a contemporary cross between Forrest Gump and Marlon Brando – what a unique guy, what a proud Austinite! Terry “Coyote” Murphy also rocks!
Marc Savlov, write Bilich's story in script form, and present it to Paramount; they won't be walking anyone off the lot, except Tom Cruise, and I know they regret that, too! If they wise up and finance it, get William Susman to score!..."

AFS Essential's Blokes 'n' Birds: British Realist Cinema
Screens Story August 31, 2007
by Josh Rosenblatt
Description: Sept. 4-Oct. 9
"...Though released only four years after Anger, Loneliness shows just how far kitchen-sink realism had come from that movie's violent despair. Whereas Burton's Jimmy is a son of Marlon Brando playing a son of Stanley Kowalski – full of an intemperate, masculine rage rationalized by philosophical brazenness – Tom Courtenay's Colin Smith is the damaged, observational heir to James Dean's Jim Stark – rail-thin and rebellious but with a passion directed more inward than out..."

Description: These vintage interviews could not take place today; the guests had no movies to plug and 90 minutes in which not to plug them
"...Cavett's nudgey prodding – mingling urbane wit with unbridled hero worship – often disarmed his subjects into compelling and candid conversation. If he was occasionally cowed by a guest's reputation (he played into Alfred Hitchcock's shopworn anecdotes like a trained lapdog), as often as not, his questions were fresh and tenacious: When a disheveled Marlon Brando responds to a cautious query about filming The Godfather with an evasive "I'd rather not talk about movies," Cavett slyly shoots back, "Oh..."
Superman Returns
Film Review June 30, 2006
by Marjorie Baumgarten
Description: Superman returns to Earth seeming more like a humbled prodigal son than an invincible superhero.
by Marjorie Baumgarten
"...From the film’s opening moments, as those familiar-looking credits zoom into focus from deep within outer space and John Williams’ anthemic theme music reprises, we’re put on notice that this new film will be one to honor its roots (at least Supermans I and II). Even footage of Marlon Brando as Superman’s father Jor-El is revived for use here, and Brandon Routh’s physical resemblance to Christopher Reeve, the iconic star of Supermans I through IV, is certainly no coincidence..."

News Story May 19, 2006
by Jordan Smith
Description: A short history of motorcycle clubs and the Bandidos
"...The modern era of the so-called "outlaw motorcycle gang" began in 1947, in the wake of a Fourth of July weekend brawl between members of the Boozefighters motorcycle club and the Pissed Off Bastards of Bloomington (Calif.) at the annual Hollister, Calif., biker rally. The fight (later fictionalized in The Wild One, starring Marlon Brando) sparked public sensation – and perhaps a measure of fear – about the relatively new and decidedly raucous American biker subculture..."
