What a treat! I've known of the story behind Cradle for a long while and never thought it could be translated to the screen with such color, character and effectiveness. Robbins has elicited some wonderful performances and his adept, flowing editing and the film's cinematography lift this story from what could have been dry didacticism to an enjoyable, literate and moving panorama of art, politics and the human spirit. Cherry Jones as Hallie Flanagan, the head of the Federal Theater Project is wonderful! Another story of 40+ women being relegated to TV movieland? Probably. Joan Cusack, Bill Murray, Emily Watson, John Turturro, god, the list goes on....this is a literate, fun treat ...Bravo!
"Outside Providence" evoked memories of "Breaking Away" (1979- the film not the TV series) for me...and that's a very good feeling. My friend Kim and I laughed our butts off at a number of its comic turns and interractions but worked into the well-traveled plot of boy-girl and school class divisions are some natural, seamless acting and plot turns that lift this film high. Part of the film's strength comes from its source, Peter Farrelly's novel and the fact that as with the late Steve Tesich in "Breaking Away", there is a continuity in the script that evolves unsurprisingly, but well.
The "Bowery Boyz in the Dazed and Confused 'Hood"....and Alec Baldwin puts in a surprising performance that easily could have descended into a trite Archie Bunker spin. A wonderful film easily deserving of an 8 from this critic. Just Bogart this film!

Ah, the punk "Strangelove"! What a trip...I remember going back to the Nickelodeon Theater to see it again and again with friends during its first few weeks of theatrical release. A marvelous cast, a soundtrack to die for ("Nobody ever called Pablo Picasso an asshole!"), some great satiric turns (from the frequently-cited store food shelves to the central conceit of 'trying to recycle nuclear waste') mark this as a cult favorite for many, but a small film with a big heart and an even bigger bite! Two toes up!
