One-hell-of-a-rock documentary.
Stung by the commercial failure of “New York, New York,” master filmmaker Martin Scorsese had to wait for three years until “Raging Bull” regained his cinematic mojo. It was during that fallow period Scorsese was on hand to film the final performance by Canadian rock group The Band in what is called the best rock & roll concert film ever. And boy did it live up its hype because “The Last Waltz” is one-hell-of-a-rock documentary.
After recording and touring for more than 16 years, the group presented their final show on Thanksgiving Day in 1976, at San Francisco’s Winterland Arena—where surprisingly The Band had played their first show. To create their sendoff more extraordinary, they hired many musicians to perform with them, including Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, Muddy Waters, The Staples, Ringo Starr, Ron Wood, Paul Butterfield, Ronnie Hawkins, and Dr. John.
To make “The Last Waltz” more visually stunning, Scorsese employs some of Hollywood’s top cinematographers—including Michael Chapman, Vilmos Zsigmond, and Laszlo Kovacs—to not only film the final concert but to produce two of the most spectacular scenes in the movie. I’m speaking about The Band’s studio performances with The Staples and Emmylou Harris which gives the documentary a cinematic feel. Interposing the songs is a succession of perceptive and thoughtful interviews from all the group members in their Malibu studio. It was this film that Scorsese found another collaborator with vocalist/guitarist/producer Robbie Robertson who would serve as music supervisor on many of his future movies.
“The Last Waltz” is an electrifying concert film not only for musical purists but for neophyte viewers who just want to hear some good music they’ve never heard before. This is not a 3-D concert film from Disney. And this is certainly not a phony-baloney cash-in documentary featuring flavor-of-the-month pop acts. This is a moving film about the insightful view of rock music from a passionate filmmaker.

How to Kill a Judge
Franco Nero (Django, Street Law) stars as a director whose latest film eerily parallels the death of an actual Sicilian judge. Not much of a Euro Crime drama, but more of a political thriller from director Damiano Damiani (Confessions of a Police Captain, A Buller for the General) featuring standout performances from Franco and Francoise Fabian as the late judge's wife. If you're a serious filmgoer, then the intrigue will delve deeper as the film goes on. But if you're interested in bloody shootout scenes, then this film is not for you.

Like THE DEER HUNTER, except that it's less depressing.
Antonio Margheriti’s (CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE) first Macaroni Combat film, a genre that would become his final mainstay, is an outrageously, over-the-top thrill ride with no political agenda whatsoever.
After witnessing the grim suicide of his shell-shocked buddy, a burned-out Army captain (David Warbeck, THE BEYOND) agrees to take on a final suicide mission with the help of two black soldier dudes (Tony King and Bobby Rhodes) and a fine-looking photojournalist (Tisa Farrow, ZOMBIE).
As the first Macaroni Combat film about Vietnam, THE LAST HUNTER certainly delivers the exploitation goodness with just a hint of brief nudity. Although the script from Dardano Sacchetti is filled with unintentionally hilarious dialog, mainstream audiences may be turned off by the lack of historical context. Warbeck gives a good performance that is a literal reminiscent of Martin Sheen’s Willard from APOCALYPSE NOW.
And speaking of that Coppola pic, the Philippine locations in which the film was shot are in fact leftover sets. It comes to show that no matter how blatant the filmmakers are, THE LAST HUNTER is certainly a pleasure to look at just for the settings. Despite not being a good actress as her sister, Tisa does give some enthusiasm into the character and it works rather well.
Turn off your brains and enjoy the mindless Italian action.
