...Andy Warhol, Robert Longo-nor as a generalized hieroglyph for "expressionist" feeling, as in de Kooning or the new German painters. Such painting wants to inspect and describe the body as a real object in the world, in all its resistances, its actualities, its peculiar landscapes of pit and pore and hair. It wants to move outward from that to see its social relations and, perhaps, its allegorical uses, but it is invariably tied to some conception of realism.

...Younger brothers and their gang of bank and train robbers. It features fraternal casting: James and Stacy Keach as the Jameses; David, Keith and Robert Carradine as the Youngers; Randy and Dennis Quaid as Clell and Ed Miller; Christopher and Nicholas Guest as the Fords, who, of course, done pore Jesse in. All of them turn in finely controlled performances. David Carradine gets the luck of the lines. Almost everything he says has a nice dry wit about...
