Letterboxd — Your life in film

That Hitchcock fella - pretty good! 

I wonder how many of my friends see that I actively choose to watch movies from the 1940s and think that I’m a total psychopath (probably all three of them)

It's insane that this was greenlit, let alone made.

Really liked this! Cute, funny, and also finds time to ask some genuine questions.

Definitely thought I’d seen this before, but if I had, I barely remembered any of it. Probably just saw that trailer so often as a teen that I must’ve convinced myself that I’d seen it in full. But yeah, pretty fuckin rad overall. Underrated/under-appreciated for sure.

"Dead heroes get the best funerals.”

“I’m nothing anymore.”

Given my current mental state, I probably shouldn’t have watched something so bleak/hopeless. Excellent film, though! Paul Schrader and Nick Nolte are firing on all cylinders with this one. James Coburn too, who plays one mean son of a bitch here. Harrowing stuff all around, which makes it hard to “recommend”. That being said, this is a near-masterpiece, so you should definitely check it out if interested.

Jason Momoa understood the assignment.

Good News: It’s not as bad as I remembered!

Bad News: It still might be the worst film in the franchise (Fate is really stupid, but it had some sick parts; Hobbs & Shaw might actually take this prize, but I have no interest in rewatching it to confirm).

“I’M FROM WATERLOO! WHERE THE VAMPIRES HANG OUT!”

Sure, it gets a little silly in the last few minutes, whatever. Otherwise, this is exactly what I wanted/needed it to be. What other movie in 2023 is cool enough to cast William Fichtner as their heavy? That’s what I thought.

I wish I had seen this as a kid, it would’ve absolutely broken my brain. Lots of fun! Peter Hyams - versatile filmmaker! I look forward to discovering more of his work in the near future.

What a picture!

Intense and hilarious! Features some of the best aerial photography I’ve ever seen in a movie! Also, gotta love a good 70s conspiracy thriller, especially one starring Elliot Gould! (also, it has one of the greatest movie posters… ever?)

Recommended!
