“Put That Coffee Down!”

 

 

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) is airing tonight on TCM. I’ll tape it — then watch it later.

GGR is one of those special-treat movies where I always full-stop and record and watch at least once every couple of years. Like many of you reading, I too have a few dozen movies in that special category of guilty treats. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen them before, I’ll watch one of these movies again. Even though most of the dialogue was committed to memory long ago, I still get something out of a repeat viewing every time. Don’t ask me why, I can’t explain.

A Great Man Among a Few Good Men

 

 

A GREAT MAN AMONG A FEW GOOD MEN

Many of us grew up with Rob Reiner. We were raised with so many of his memorable characters–both in front and behind the human mirror known as the camera. We evolved with his nearly unmatched direction of so many wonderful films, and for people like me who will always be politically- and socially-minded — by his ceaseless devotion to causes much bigger than himself.

Individually and collectively, he helped to make us who we are.

Tears in my eyes, my voice crackling with emotion — THANK YOU Rob Reiner.

Robert Redford

 

 

ROBERT REDFORD

What a life……adventurous, insightful, inspiring, unpretentious, and purposeful.

Like so many, I grew up with Robert Redford films — both which he starred in and directed. It would be hard to pick a favorite, especially considering the indelible impact on movies and culture left by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Way We Were, The Sting, Jeremiah Johnson, The Candidate, All the President’s Men, Ordinary People, and so many others.

[Netflix Review] Chaos: The Manson Murders

 

 

[NETFLIX REVIEW] CHAOS: THE MANSON MURDERS

Needing a break from the insanity of politics, I tuned to something far more tranquilizing — a new documentary on the Charles Manson murders.

Why? What’s the point of digesting cold, stale leftovers? What newly-harvested discoveries could possibly be revealed about a 56-year-old crime story that’s already been bludgeoned to death? Oops–bad word choice there.
