American Gigolo
Richard Gere is Julian Kay, a slick emotionally and spiritually deprived L.A. hustler in AMERICAN GIGOLO. While servicing an upscale clientele in the Hollywood area, he becomes involved with a rich senator's wife (Lauren Hutton), their relationship extending beyond Julian's normal encounters. Little does he know he is about to be framed for murder, forcing him to rely on alibis from Madame Anne (Nina Van Pallandt), a crooked pimp (Bill Duke), or the senator's wife herself. A stylishly sleazy look at moral decay and redemption, director Paul Schrader combines a European cinematic sensibility with his usual themes of moral drift and emotional alienation in this vivid portrait of early 1980s chic Hollywood decadence.

A dated tale of alienation.
I wanted to watch this film solely because it was written and directed by Paul Schrader, and in terms of his familiar themes of alienation and isolation it ... read more »

The movie that made Richard Gere a heart throb!
A light-hearted take on a dark theme. This romance/thriller featuring Richard Gere as the anti-hero is probably the movie where Richard Gere looked his best. I ... read more »

Jerry Bruckheimer: The Pirate King
- 22 May 2007

Film producers aren't exactly household names, and most people wouldn't be able to pick Bruckheimer out of police line up, but you'll recognise the lightning bolt on a desert highway that kicks off a Bruckheimer movie: blockbusters like the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Armageddon, Con Air and Pearl Harbor. His pictures have generated more than $13 billion worldwide, and his TV shows are everywhere: CSI and its multiple off-shoots,... Read more
