Al Pacino

Film Review: “The Irishman” — A Blood-Soaked Cautionary Tale

For all its cinematic zest and superb acting, The Irishman offers a bleak demonstration of what happens when you sell your soul for too little.

By: Matt Hanson Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese, Matt Hanson, Robert DeNiro, The Irishman

TV/Film Review: “Paterno” — Acts of Dishonor

What we want is for Al Pacino to convey something deeper, something illuminating about the fall of the hero from the highest reaches of the gods.

By: Glenn Rifkin Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Al Pacino, Barry Levinson, football, HBO, Paterno, sexual abuse

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Al Pacino, Holly Hunter, Manglehorn, Paul Dervis, The Screening Room Newburyport
