  Donald Cammell: The Ultimate Performance (1998)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
This is one of the most interesting movie related documentaries I've ever watched.
Cammell was a fascinating figure who moved from the bohemian art world into movie making with spectacular results.
What they came up with together was one of the most innovative and influential movies of the late 60s/early 70s, 'Performance'.

  Performance (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Performance (1968) is a British film directed by Donald Cammell and Nicholas Roeg.
Performance was initially conceived by Donald Cammell as "The Performers" and was to be a lighthearted swinging 60's romp.
When Performance was released, several aspects of the film were extremely innovative, and historically it can be seen as a precursor to MTV type music videos and many popular movies of the 1990s and 2000s.This movie has a soundtrack with The Rolling Stones, Ry Cooder, Randy Newman, The Last Poets, Buffy Ste.

 Washington's knockout performance propels powerful 'Hurricane'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Not only is the movie engrossing and powerful, but Washington is immensely effective in the role -- displaying some of the same presence, poise and strength he brought to "Malcolm" but styled to fit a more passive character the script depicts as the Jean Valjean of the civil rights movement.
The movie's first act then picks up his life after a second trial has brought a second guilty verdict, his new appeals have been denied, the celebrities have all lost interest in his case, and a Toronto ghetto kid (Vicellous Reon Shannon) happens upon his autobiography in a library book sale.
In fact, it's such a terrific movie-star performance -- and so perfectly keyed to the requirements of the historical biography -- that he may well be on his way toward becoming the Paul Muni of the new decade.

 Performance (1970)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
PERFORMANCE captured the perverse sub-culture of organized "working class" gangsters with an unromanticized authenticity not matched until THE SOPRANOS came along three decades later.
But it's not just a gangster movie; it's a heady brew overflowing with subtle and insightful intuitions about the power and dangers of the ego, the male-female equation, power structures, sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.
All the performances are excellent; James Fox and Jagger are outstanding.

 PaddyC's Movie Reviews
The movie differs from, say, 'Armageddon' in that we are never given glimpses of anxious family members on Earth waiting for news of the crew.
There is an element of horror in the movie too, no doubt inspired by 'Alien', but although these parts are creepy and in parts a little gory, the horror never overtakes the action and ultimately adds to the mystical nature of the crew's mission, especially in the third act of the movie.
The movie is beautifully crafted though, and were it not for the fact that the excellent 'Pan's Labyrinth' won the Cinematography Oscar over 'The Illusionist' this year, PCMR might be mildly peeved at the injustice of it all.

The latter recognizes something of his old, daring self in the violent criminal, and after pushing open the boundaries of the hood's experience with psychedelics, the two men begin to intertwine as one.
The film is an exciting pool of ideas about real and presumed power, about the mysteries of "performance" as a pressing outward toward an abandonment of identity and embrace of revelation.

 G Movie Reviews
She is supported with surprising performances by Giovanni Ribisi, Greg Kinnear, Hilary Swank, Katie Holmes, and Keanu Reeves (in a particular menacing performance).
But, it is the wonderfully wise supporting performances by Richard Harris as the old Caesar and Oliver Reed as the old gladiator trainer (in his last role, since he died while the movie was being filmed) that give the underlying strength and a bit of epic grander to the film.
What lifts this neatly, though leisurely, told tale is the performances of the reliable Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan (in his first major role), and all the rest of the cast and the attention to details in the sets and music.

A performance which, by the way, was actually pretty good.

''I don't think [a movie version] is something you want to undertake unless you think that something particular can be gained from it,'' says Madden.
''The difference between my stage performance and my movie performance is that my father was still alive when I did the play,'' says Paltrow.

 Review on Kabul Express by the_master - MouthShut.com
The goal of this movie is quite clear, its another attempt by a star to prove that he is an actor by doing a festival circuit movie.
The movie has one special moment though when the father meets his daughter but that about it, the movie makes a couple of attempts at special moments but fails.
The performance of this movie is exactly like the careers of Kapil Dev and Imran Khan (seeing the movie will help) who were mostly ordinary but showed flashes of brilliance, and had one big moment that defined their careers (the lifting of the cups).

 BostonHerald.com - Movie Reviews: ’Matador’ could be a hit with killer performance
Julian Noble (Pierce Brosnan in a career-capping performance) is a jet-setting killer whose speciality is turning out the lights on people he does not know.
Before you can mutter, ”Haven’t I seen this movie before?” Julian is recruiting a reluctant Danny to create a diversion while he pops his target at a Mexican bullring.
These hit man-in-crisis movies have become such a Hollywood staple that the character has gone from interesting, existential figure to all-purpose, lazy-writer/director crutch and cliche.

The movie and soundtrack, together or separately, form an interesting window to a transitional time in the culture wars (which, as everyone knows, are still raging today).
Even after some 35 years, the movie can still be got, and the soundtrack is still readily available.
And although the movie itself is a now somewhat dated view of post-hippie seedy London, the music is more than able to stand up on its own.
