We return to the filmography of Brian DePalma this week with 1993\u2032s Carlito\u2019s Way<\/em>. The film reunited DePalma with his Scarface <\/em>star Al Pacino as Carlito Brigante, a former criminal struggling to go straight after his release from prison and his shady circle that keeps pulling him back in. Released the year after Pacino\u2019s long-awaited Oscar win for Scent of a Woman<\/em>, the film and Pacino received mixed reviews and was ultimately buried in Universal\u2019s mighty awards slate that included Schindler\u2019s List<\/em>, Jurassic Park<\/em>, and In the Name of the Father<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This week, we discuss Al Pacino\u2019s Oscar draught between his win and The Irishman<\/em> and some of the troublesome spots in DePalma\u2019s filmography. We also look at John Leguizamo\u2019s cinematic breakout in the early\u00a0\u201890s, Penelope Ann Miller\u2019s filmography of female roles in male-centered movies, and an\u00a0\u201cunrecognizable\u201d Sean Penn returning from a three year movie break.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Topics also include the Cahiers du Cinema, Carole Bayer Sager\u2019s Oscar nominations in Original Song, and iconic ghost cinema Heart and Souls<\/em>. And we also announce our upcoming May miniseries!<\/p>\n Follow Us on Twitter!\n\n
