Rate Opinion: Nick Cave Wrote A Script For A Russell Crowe-Commissioned 'Gladiator 2'?

Original at The Playlist external link    Mon, May 4

By theplaylist@gmail.com (The Playlist) Back to "Gladiator." Didn't Crowe's Maximus character die at the end of the film? (with apologies to those that haven't seen the 2000 Academy Award Best Picture winner, get with it already) At the end of the film, Crowe's Roman warrior character did wander into the afterlife to his family i...

Rate Opinion: 'State of Play' stars Russell Crowe as old-school reporter - The Plain Dealer

Original at Cleveland Plain Dealer external link    Tue, Apr 21

Russell Crowe is grizzled, old-school reporter Cal McAffrey, covering homicides and other such "good stuff" for the Washington Globe. ("Grizzled," to Crowe and his makeup people, apparently translates to a cross between Maximus in "Gladiator" and Capt. ...

Rate Movie Review: Tarnished star saves news thriller

Original at Sacramento Bee external link    Fri, Apr 17

  USA To spell out or even imply how it betrays that trust would be saying too much, so it's better to view "State of Play" as the Russell Crowe show, with sides of journalism, murder and possible government conspiracy. The picture is more enjoyable that way ...

Rate Opinion: Play to win: Russell Crowe nails it in 'State of Play'

Original at CTV.ca external link    Thu, Apr 16

Gone are the "Gladiator" biceps and "Cinderella Man" six-pack. No matter. With his stringy long hair and slob-on-the-go portliness, Crowe unleashes a cunning, ferocious opponent worthy of any sleazy dirt bag in old-school reporter Cal McAffrey. ...

By brocknroll Directed by: Ridley Scott The acting of Leo Dicaprio and Russell Crowe was of course, real good. Another reason I liked about this movie was how Ridley didn't use too many big name stars. Most of the cast were unknowns. Russell and Leo were of course the only big names in the movie.

Rate Opinion: On the Aisle

Original at Fayetteville Free Weekly external link    Wed, Oct 15

By Susan Porter One of Russell Crowe’s great strengths as an actor is his ability to portray the noble spirit of his characters. Maximus in “Gladiator” (2000), Jeffrey Wigand in “The Insider” (1999), Jim Braddock in “Cinderella Man” (2005), and even  Ben Wade in “3:10 to Yuma.”

The Panthers will be led today by Vinny Testaverde, 43. As Jay Leno noted on the "Tonight Show" following Testaverde's first appearance as Carolina's quarterback two weeks ago, Testaverde is so old he remembers when the New England Patriots were stealing signals from the British.

Rate DVD Review: A Good Year

By Katie McNeill Starring Russell Crowe as Max Skinner and directed by Ridley Scott, who did Gladiator and Blade Runner to name a few, I thought that it had to be good. Russell Crowe was Gladiator, and after watching that movie, what woman in America didn’t want to have his babies?
