04 May 2009 12:09:00 PDT

Written 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...

Movie Review: Tarnished star saves news thriller

17 Apr 2009 00:10:53 PDT

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 ...

Sean Penn introduced him and Brolin started out by saying, “Great actor, Sean Penn. Amazing. And not an a**hole. Like Russell Crowe.” (Brolin was Crowe’s costar in “American Gangster.”) “Ben Brantley. Thank you. Whatever. Honestly I hate that motherf**ker. And I don’t think he’s a good writer.”

Film Review: Body of Lies

27 Oct 2008 19:27:55 PDT

Written 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.

Opinion: On the Aisle

15 Oct 2008 03:00:10 PDT

Written by Susan Porter
Film review by Tony Macklin 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.”
