So, here goes… On closer inspection, though, the films inherent inferiority toMac And Mebecomes apparent.

A true master of his craft, Stewart Raffill had no such problem when directingMac And Me.

With that level of imagination and filmmaking magic, you really dont need computers.

At no point does anyone dance with a wolf, let alone the pack of wolves its name implies.

What is the relationship between Mac and Me?

Theyre questions that can only be answered by watching the classic movie.

In retrospect, it should have been obvious that Eastwoods supposed documentary was actually a contrivance.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Both characters were upstaged, it has to be said, by the sterling performance of Blue Thunder himself.

These rumours have yet to be substantiated.

Since its release in 1994, Frank Darabonts movie has enjoyed huge DVD sales.

Now that, Mr Aronofsky, is how you end a movie.

Its evidence of Raffills Scorsese-like ability to shock the viewer with flashes of unexpected, ugly violence.

Now,Mac And Mehas occasionally come under fire for pilfering the plot ofE.T.

As Pablo Picasso famously put it, Good artists borrow, great artists steal.
