Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Albert Brooks
A sensationalized paranoia movie that is one long preparation for a massacre. It creates a tight, obsessive, suffocating world that excludes `normal' outlets for relief, rest, connection, gratificati...( read more

September 4, 2009The impact this film has had on cinema has been vast. A film true to its time, a social commentary on the public's lack of faith in politicians and the possible extent their paranoia could lead us. Plus you have three people on top of their game, Robert DeNiro, Martin Scorsese an...( read more)

June 13, 2009No matter what wars are going on, what the neighbours are screaming about next store, how many kids Sally Struthers pleads on behalf of, at the end of the day the media (movies, TV, books, etc.) more often than not present us with a candy-coated view of the world where in the end...( read more)

April 29, 2009Today I got my Bickle on. I don't get my Bickle on every day. In fact, it had been a few years since I last got my Bickle on, but today I was on vacation, with nothing better to do.
Anyone who knows me knows that I can be a bit obsessive. I can brain-lock on a subject and o...( read more) -

October 24, 2009I thought this would be better. I just didnt really get the flow of the film's plot, but everything else is superb. It builds with a menacing promise of a non-cheery end for all or some of Travis' foes. You can see the influence of this film in so many other films. I have seen th...( read more)

August 6, 2008does anyone think it would be pretty controversial if the whole sequence after the shoot-out were just a dream?or a thought of Bickle of what "could have" happened in the future?

July 2, 2008I hate the DVD covers for Taxi Driver. They show Travis with his Mohawk--that's an important surprise in the movie! What a spoiler. Especially when the original one-sheet posters are so well-done. That said, I pretty much hate all DVD covers, they are so lame.
