5 Great Steve Buscemi Films on Satellite TV in Los Angeles, California
It is often not just the lead actor but the men and women around them that make a movie successful. Steve Buscemi is one of those character actors, the guy who can nail the oddball personality so well that it’s hard to imagine anyone else playing the role. Sometimes it’s a brief moment, like in Pulp Fiction as the Buddy Holly waiter, or in Barton Fink as a creepy desk clerk named Chet. He can also carry large roles, as displayed in Ghost World. Here are five Steve Buscemi films that satellite TV subscribers in Los Angeles, California should check out.
1. The Big Lebowski. It probably isn’t a coincidence that Buscemi seems to be involved in just about every pop culture phenomenon film and The Big Lebowski by the Coen brothers is another. As Donny, sidekick to The Dude and John Goodman’s unhinged character, Buscemi actually seems rather well adjusted for a change. The really classic mistakes are made by his friends. Look for John Turturro in a legendary role.
2. Ghost World. You might know Terry Zwigoff as the Bad Santa director, or not at all, but you should see what a fine independent film he made with this movie. Buscemi plays a distracted, middle-aged loner who befriends a couple of misfit teenage girls. A quiet, intelligent film, Ghost World can be seen on the Independent Film Channel in high definition resolution.
3. Reservoir Dogs. Want to know what can happen when a bank robbery goes bad? This film works in reverse, as thieves regroup after turning Los Angeles, California streets into a bloodbath, to tell the story of just what happened. Buscemi is the loud, sarcastic Mr. Pink, a criminal who wants to uphold his professional standard, but can’t help smelling a rat among the crew. Buscemi’s scenes with Harvey Keitel are modern acting at its best. See the film on satellite TV premium movie channels.
4. Miller’s Crossing. Checking in with the Coen brothers once again, Buscemi plays a suitably squirmy, fast talking hood who’s always on the run. Aptly named “Mink,” his character makes the mistake of buddying up with Bernie Bernbaum (Turturro, again) and leaving the protective wing of Eddie Dane. Gabriel Byrne carries this fine film, with cinematography worthy of your HD television set.
5. King of New York. Raised just outside of New York, it’s no surprise that Buscemi always finds his way into Manhattan-based films. King of New York by pulp auteur Abel Ferrara is a fine independent film all about the drug business of Frank White (Christopher Walken). Cops David Caruso and Wesley Snipes have a hard time in the big city, especially when characters like Test Tube (Buscemi) and Lawrence Fishburne are one the loose. See the film on satellite TV network IFC.

Rat Fink $74.88 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rat Fink is one of the several hotrod characters created by one of the originators of Kustom Kulture, Ed Big Daddy Roth. Roths hatred for Mickey Mouse led him to draw the original Rat Fink. After he placed Rat Fink on an airbrushed monster shirt, the character soon came to symbolize the entire hotrod/Kustom Kulture scene of the 1950s and 1960s. Although Detroit native Stanley Mouse (Miller) is credited with creating the socalled Monster Hot Rod art form, Roth is accepted as the individual who popularized it. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 80 Publication Date: 2011/02/28 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.02 x 0.19 inches |

Tales of the Rat Fink - $14.99 Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was a genius of outlaw art who took America's obsession with all that is fast, loud, and streamlined and built it into an empire. In the 1950s, Roth was a hot-rodder who moved from bodywork and helping guys fine-tune the look of their jalopies to building unique custom machines. Roth threw out the rule book of conventional automotive design and created fantastic visions of chrome, fiberglass, and supercharged engines that took one of America's most conventional consumer items and turned it into a freaked-out vision of post-adolescent cool. Roth was also a gifted cartoonist, and along with his cars he also created freaked-out automotive cartoons that made the artwork in Mad Magazine look sedate; his trademark character was Rat Fink, a maniacal, grinning rodent who was usually seen popping the clutch behind the wheel of one of Roth's outlandish cars. Between Roth's crazed automobiles, which drew thousands of fans to auto shows; the reproductions of them (in the form of model kits), which sold in the millions; and the Rat Fink and Monster T-shirts (which are still on the market today), Roth was one of the most influential figures in popular culture in the 1960s, and Tales of the Rat Fink is a documentary by Ron Mann that features interviews with Roth's friends and fans as well as animated sequences that bring his cars and creatures to life onscreen. John Goodman, Tom Wolfe, Brian Wilson, Matt Groening, Jay Leno, and Ann-Margret are among those who contributed their voices to the project; acclaimed indie rockers the Sadies composed and performed the musical score. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |
