Black Magic
Black Magic (1949), starring Orson Welles, Nancy Guild, Akim Tamiroff
Review of Black Magic
Orson Welles‘ performance in Black Magic is absolutely riveting. It’s a must-see performance. He plays the role of the charlatan Cagliostro with gusto, and style. Welles moves the audience from sympathy for the character to disgust for some of his actions, and back to sympathy. The other performers also do an excellent job. But it’s Welles performance that makes Black Magic a must-see movie.

The King of Comedy
DVD review of The King of Comedy (1982), starring Jerry Lewis, Robert Deniro
Jerry Lewis‘ The King of Comedy is not the typical Jerry Lewis movie. It’s not a comedy. It’s not for the children. It is a very dark comedy (although rated PG). The King of Comedy looks at the behind-the-scenes life of Jerry Langford. Played straight, and brilliantly, by Jerry Lewis. He’s a talk-show host seemingly similar to Jay Leno or David Letterman.
