Customer Reviews:
Cagney at his best.......2007-03-22
I believe this was Cagney's signature movie as a gangter. It shows that crime doesn't pay and that gangters were usually wired differently than other people. Sometimes they were mental cases like Cody Garrett was in this movie. He was a criminal that could kill as easily as eating, no conscience, no regret. Very realistic with psycho killers in these days. He should have one an oscar for this film. It shows how law enforcement befriends criminals to catch them. It is a classic film in under-cover work. Years ahead of it's time. Great movie!
Top of the World.......2007-03-09
Terrific Cagney at his best. This is an "Oldie" but will never be outdated. If its desired to see when acting was Priority ONE in Hollywood, WHITE HEAT is your meat
Not all that good........2006-12-27
Not a huge fan of James Cagney or gangster movies, and nothing about White Heat has changed that opinion. Lame plot, corny dialogue, and just plain bad acting constantly had me cringing. In it's day this movie was no different than the generic blow-em'-up action/adventure movies that Hollywood has churned out en masse in more recent decades. Hardly what I would consider to be a classic.
COMMENTARY BY THE BRILLIANT AND INSIGHTFUL DR. DREW CASPER.......2006-11-25
Don't you dare forget that Dr. Drew Casper has written many film books, is writing a couple film books and is brilliant and insightful. He's the head of the film dept at USC. Dr. Drew Casper chairs a film immeritus board and is brilliant and insightful. Don't forget that Dr. Drew Casper is brilliant and insightful because Dr. Drew Casper makes bunches of brilliant and insightful comments only Dr. Drew Casper could make.
Don't ask Dr. Drew Casper to heal your leg he's not that kind of Dr. He's the kind of Dr. who sits in and ivory tower, writing papers and making sure the little people don't forget that Dr. Drew Casper is brilliant and insightful.
This guy is obnoxious. It took me about two thirds of the movie to become inured to his saccharine comments. He absolutely loves the "character" Cody Jarrett. Almost salivates in his admiration of the "character" Cody Jarrett. His admiration of this muderer is a sign that Dr. Drew Casper has known no adventure or rites of passage other than the passages in his books and papers.
If you can get past he jittery obsessive personality, he does make a few "insightful" comments. By the way, this is a great movie.
A powerful and exciting film.......2006-08-22
This is one great film. It starts with a bang and never lets up. You'd be hard pressed to find a better piece of film noir, and it has really stood the test of time. At the center of it all is James Cagney, whose character and performance are as ruthlessly cold-blooded and crazy as nearly any character in film history.
Neither Cagney or the script ever compromise in their portrayal of the life and death of the main character. Yet, for all his flaws and malignant danger, he somehow comes across as sympathetic to some degree. An impressive feat.
This really is a great film, and anyone who likes classics, gangster, or noir cinema should definitely own it.

Product Description
Featuring 26 Episodes as seen on the TNT Network. L.A. Heat is a smart and sarcastic crime-drama packed with car chases, shootouts, and every kind of action imaginable. Set against the scenic backdrops of California's beautiful beaches to the gritty city streets of Los Angeles, every episode of this series moves at 100 mph from start to finish, making it "possibly the most action-packed series ever created for television."
Customer Reviews:
Lethal Weapon the TV show.......2006-08-26
At least, thats how I call it, and it's not meant as an insult. This is one of my favorite cop shows of the 90s - Barney Miller meets Hill Street Blues. Fans of 21 Jump Street will recognize Captain Fuller as Detective Brooks. I'll be crushed if the rest of the series isn't released.

Ocean's Eleven
Ocean's Eleven improves on 1960's Rat Pack original with supernova casting, a slickly updated plot, and Steven Soderbergh's graceful touch behind the camera. Soderbergh reportedly relished the opportunity "to make a movie that has no desire except to give pleasure from beginning to end," and he succeeds on those terms, blessed by the casting of George Clooney as Danny Ocean, the title role originated by Frank Sinatra. Fresh out of jail, Ocean masterminds a plot to steal $163 million from the seemingly impervious vault of Las Vegas's Bellagio casino, not just for the money but to win his ex-wife (Julia Roberts) back from the casino's ruthless owner (Andy Garcia). Soderbergh doesn't scrimp on the caper's comically intricate strategy, but he finds greater joy in assembling a stellar team (including Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, and Carl Reiner) and indulging their strengths as actors. The result is a film that's as smooth as a silk suit and just as stylish. --Jeff Shannon
Heat
Having developed his skill as a master of contemporary crime drama, writer-director Michael Mann displayed every aspect of that mastery in this intelligent, character-driven thriller from 1995, which also marked the first onscreen pairing of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. The two great actors had played father and son in the separate time periods of The Godfather, Part II, but this was the first film in which the pair appeared together, and although their only scene together is brief, it's the riveting fulcrum of this high-tech cops-and-robbers scenario. De Niro plays a master thief with highly skilled partners (Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore) whose latest heist draws the attention of Pacino, playing a seasoned Los Angeles detective whose investigation reveals that cop and criminal lead similar lives. Both are so devoted to their professions that their personal lives are a disaster. Pacino's with a wife (Diane Venora) who cheats to avoid the reality of their desolate marriage; De Niro pays the price for a life with no outside connections; and Kilmer's wife (Ashley Judd) has all but given up hope that her husband will quit his criminal career. These are men obsessed, and as De Niro and Pacino know, they'll both do whatever's necessary to bring the other down. Mann's brilliant screenplay explores these personal obsessions and sacrifices with absorbing insight, and the tension mounts with some of the most riveting action sequences ever filmed--most notably a daylight siege that turns downtown Los Angeles into a virtual war zone of automatic gunfire. At nearly three hours, the film qualifies as a kind of intimate epic, certain to leave some viewers impatiently waiting for more action, but it's all part of Mann's compelling strategy. Heat is a true rarity: a crime thriller with equal measures of intense excitement and dramatic depth, giving De Niro and Pacino a prime showcase for their finely matched talents. --Jeff Shannon
