hanna montana
did i miss a memo or somethin? mrs. gihyb threw on scarface tonight. neither of us had ever seen it. you know, every athlete's favorite flick. on every third t-shirt in brooklyn ... pacino's tan, ricardo accent, and the general amount of italians posin as latinos notwithstanding, this might be the worst movie i've ever seen. i'm halfway through ... dunno if i can make it. just suffered through a wedding montage that makes flashdance watchable. dunno if an alan partridge cameo could make this work. has pacino ever looked shorter? hahaha!!!!

robe. now that was funny.
"helloooo ... xmastime"
I thought it was crap when it came out. Haven't changed my opinion.
Pacino's "accent" bears no resemblance to any Cuban accent I've ever heard. It's as if he met a Cuban with a speach impediment and thought the whole country sounded like that. And I wonder how all those young men with the Scarface tee shirts would feel if they realized that Tony Montana wants to screw his sister.Outside of "Carrie", even DePalma's best stuff looks like a bigger budgeted "Cinemax After Dark" feature.
That was the end for Pacino. He was never able to shake Montana off. And every Cuban I've ever known does say "Hooo-ah!" when he's pleased.
Every. stinkin'. one.
