	Femme Fatale review of the Brian DePalma film \| Movie Forum
		DePalma has pulled this one before, with 1992’s “Raising Cain”, a grating career homage/self-parody that left me (and presumably others, yes?) completely cold, and mildly insulted.
		By the time DePalma pulls a major third-act reversal, you’ll either be delighted at his cojones, or calling for his DGA card.
		DePalma conceived of the project while attending Cannes last year, and raised the production funds independently so that he could maintain creative freedom.

	dOc DVD Review: Dressed to Kill (1980) - Printable
		Brian DePalma has the ability to create unbelievable tension and excitement with camera movements that rival the best film directors of all time.
		Film critics often criticize Brian DePalma for blatantly ripping off plots and devices from Alfred Hitchcock's movies; he calls these allegations ridiculous, and instead says his methods are in homage to the legendary director.
		DePalma also briefly touches on the relation of his work to Hitchcock's, but his argument is fairly simple and unconvincing.

	The religion of director Brian DePalma
		Brian De Palma was born to Itailan Catholic parents but was apparently not raised as a Catholic.
		Brian De Palma was born on September 11, 1940, in Newark, New Jersey.
		Brian De Palma explains that, first of all, women are victims in his films for a logical reason: a woman's vulnerability is scarier to an audience than a man's.

	Carlito's Way Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Over a decade ago, Director Brian DePalma teamed up with Al Pacino to create a layered, visually exciting film about a Latino gangster luxuriating in the synthetic glamour of the coke-and-disco club scene, and punctuated with bursts of violence and high-suspense action sequences.
		Back when DePalma directed Body Double (1984), he was accused of copying the suspense-building style of Alfred Hitchcock (you could do worse), but now his brand of intense pacing, camera movement, and classical music scores can safely be called his own.
		DePalma uses a train station again for the final chase scene in Carlito's Way, his most elaborate and exciting set piece to date, and one that took six months to complete.

	DVD REVIEW: CARRIE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-27)
		DePalma poked fun at his critics by naming the high school featured in the film Bates High.
		DePalma really pushes the envelope with "Carrie." The opening locker room scene features complete frontal nudity in a slow motion shot that culminates with Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) discovering her first period.
		DePalma utilizes a lot of split screens during the prom destruction, and to fully appreciate the editing, you have to see it in widescreen.

	Femme Fatale
		Brian and I have been seeing each other off and on for several years.
		But DePalma’s camera is so assured and lyrical, we notice how inept David Lynch is at tying together story lines, at creating sequences that feel organic when edited together (save for the one decent scene, Watts’s audition), and at coming up with philosophical ideas that mean something.
		Brian has a way of seducing you with his camera so that you’re drunk on the love of cinema and want to share that sensation with everyone else on the planet.

	JoBlo reviews "Snake Eyes"
		Brian DePalma returns to his directorial seat after his last commercial outing in 1996 with Tom Cruise in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE (8/10).
		Last summer, Brian, Nicolas Cage and Gary Sinise were the talk of my hometown of Montreal, as they took over the sporting alma mater of the Montreal Canadians, the Forum, for a period of three months over the summer.
		Admittedly, I was impressed with another one of DePalma's classic one-shot-camera opening sequences, this one lasting at least 20 minutes, and many of his other camera tricks, but overall, the movie seemed flawed in its attempt to enrapture the audience's imagination, and deliver on a solid ending.

	New York's Premier Alternative Newspaper. Arts, Music, Food, Movies and Opinion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-27)
		DePalma turns the legend of The Black Dahlia into a portrait of the Hollywood institution as both nightmare and fantasia—not dishonest sociology, but a haunting realization of all that Hollywood represents.
		Renowned as the impudent master of suspense, DePalma is, first of all, a genre satirist with a phenomenal grasp of film technique.
		DePalma’s instinct is to go Gothic (brilliantly alluding to German Expressionist films like Paul Leni’s 1928 The Man Who Laughed) and Modernism (poignant audition clips from Short’s aborted film career).

		Brian DePalma's name was from this point on no longer one of obscurity and merely connected to the use of Hitchcock motifs.
		Stephen King went on to sell books by the millions and continued to see them produced on film and TV (another director who would benefit from this relationship is John Carpenter).
		Nancy Allen had her big break with Carrie, and with here later-boyfriend Brian DePalma would continue to work in the genre.

	Film Freak Central Presents: DE PALMA ON DVD
		Brian DePalma tends to assert his manhood through virile camerawork, but Scarface is the first film he made that's about swagger.
		DePalma peaked with Casualties of War, a film as faultless as his The Bonfire of the Vanities is reckless.
		What we have, then, is the second part of a makeshift trilogy (The Untouchables, Casualties of War, and The Bonfire of the Vanities) in which DePalma examines a basic human decency that translates to courtroom triumph; I think DePalma's particularly audacious approach to Casualties of War comes out of the material's rage.

		My ultra-feminist girlfriend at the time considered DePalma to be the personification of all evil because of the misogynist aspects of his most recent film, which was Body Double.
		She had peeked into my calendar, found out where I was conducting the interview, and showed up wearing a wig and carrying a basket of rotten eggs which she intended on depositing upon Mr.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Snake Eyes"
		The result is a fairly entertaining motion picture that would have actually been better if changes had been made here and there, particularly in the finale, which is one of the more disappointing endings I've seen in a while (the material all before the ending, about 85 or so minutes, ranks a 7).
		DePalma's incredible direction and use of the camera, were mesmerizing.
		DePalma is officially a hack and Sinise should play a woman in his next movie cause he always plays the same roles.

	Film Review: Scarface (Howard Hawks, 1932 & Brian DePalma, 1983) - Elites TV - Your Elite News Source
		While DePalma sought to entertain with a pulpy, over-the-top take, Hawks displayed balls of steel, using the filmic medium to challenge the free reign of mobsters in the 1930’s.
		DePalma’s cultish remake maintains a similar plot, but the scene shifts to 1980’s Miami, where Cuban refugee Tony Montana (Al Pacino) is climbing the proverbial ladder himself.
		DePalma’s version is rife with brief encounters between Pacino & Pfeiffer, and they’re often full of venomwhen the two aren’t fucking, that is.

		I recall when i first saw this film on tv as a kid, i was only interested in Brian Depalma's reputation as a horror director(Sisters, Carrie etc. i was a big fan) But i was totally blown away by the breathtaking action and heartbreaking storyline of this film.
		DePalma's first 'big' like production (Sisters and Hi Mom were more independent 'looking') is a look back to Hitchcock's Vertigo and was a nice break from the Jaws and disaster pics permeating the scene of the mid-70's.
		The movie can be read at several different levels but is primarily an excellent thriller treating of the guiltiness felt by a man who failed to rescue his wife and his daughter when kidnapped in New orleans.

	SNAKE EYES - DVD
		Brian DePalma, too, falls back on the same visual motifs movie after movie.
		DePalma applies his best techniques to a script that it is generally undeserving.
		Teaming up with the only survivor of the crash (the automobile swerved into a river and sank immediately), a prostitute (played by DePalma's then-wife Nancy Allen), Jack sets out to prove that what he witnessed (re: heard) that fateful night was a political assassination.

	Brian DePalma (Snake Eyes)
		It comes as little surprise, then, that he should seize the chance to once again return to the genre for which he is best known, the psychological thriller.
		Cage is Dunne's childhood buddy, a tainted Atlantic City police detective forced to rise to the occasion when the murder literally falls in his lap.
		Still, all due labors on the script notwithstanding, it wouldn't be a true DePalma film without the director's trademark visual fireworks.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Brian DePalma - November 6, 2002 - Femme Fatale Movies Review
		In a breakthrough performance, considering her other forgettable parts, Romijn-Stamos gets the delectable job of commanding a truly multi-layered screen presence through the various personas into which her character metamorphoses, which most women are too scared to tackle.
		DePalma may be bent on showing raw stimulation, but he is just as focused on illustrating the feebleness it creates.
		DePalma may not be wholly effective in writing/directing character study per se (Carlito's Way's strength comes more from Al Pacino's great acting than from intelligent conversation), but Femme Fatale isn't a reflection of human nature so much as an exploration of adventure.
