Im pretty much done, It seems i must write more words to have this printed on my computer, so maby im doing something wrong, can some one please let me know how to watch movies that i put on the watch list ????? Its not like i placed a ton of movies to watch, only three, and its been well over a month now that i have been waiting !!!!! I think this whole site is some kind of scam as many things are today. well thank you my friends and god bless and good day !!!!!!!
skullislandsurferdotcom The dream was a three-hour-plus TV miniseries centering on Jimmy Hoffa played by Robert Blake who seems perfect for the role. Well he is perfect, although since this is mostly about Robert Kennedy, all but wearing blue spandex and a red cape, Blake's only allowed sporadic, overly-villainous filler to a propaganda-driven bio of the doomed RFK, which is alright since Cotter Smith does an excellent job playing an important character in fifties and sixties politics, but should have been promoted as a Kennedy meal with Hoffa on the side instead of vice versa.This, being a true story, tries for that suspenseful edge liken to fictional mob films, but never quite delivers any real punches. Blake is fun to watch as always, but there should have been a lot more of him.
ericocean I watched "Blood Feud" when it first aired, do not recall it being a made-for-TV special, it was so good. Robert Blake gives a first-rate performance, superior to that of Nicholson's somewhat too-studied take in "Hoffa." At one point Blake/Hoffa is making a call from a phone booth (yep, a booth, where the doors close) and his rage is memorable--not mere screaming...restrained enough to make it compelling. At least for one viewer. Aside from "In Cold Blood," this likely is Blake's best film work. The supporting cast is superb: Aiello, Dennehy, Hendrikson, Borgnine, Ferrer. "Blood Feud" may have been a two-parter shown on consecutive nights. I would love to buy this movie but can't find it. Speaking of Hoffa films, Stallone's "F.I.S.T." was a fine but unappreciated effort. It did lousy business; at the time nobody seemed to want to see "Sly" as anything but R. Balboa. And that title didn't help; sounds like another fight movie. But "F.I.S.T." is available and often appears on TV movie subscription channels, unlike "Blood Feud," which is better.
Roman11 This was the absolute best of the Jimmy Hoffa portrayals. Robert Blake even beats Jack Nicholson's portrayal of Hoffa and that's saying a lot. Historically correct, well directed, paced, camera work, and casting. Casting was perfect. The highest tribute I can pay an actor is "he or she did not act the character BUT WAS THE CHARACTER! Looking at Blake was like watching Jimmy Hoffa and Cotter Smith gave the best portrayal of Bobby Kennedy ever. I had the chance to see and hear Hoffa speak in Michigan some time ago. I must state that he was truly a dynamic man.I wish wish this show returned periodically so all could view this magnificent production.
