THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK (1997)
* Maybe...viewing six?
Babysitting family kids
One kid..."that was crazy"
Bloodier and more cynical than its predecessor
I think this movie exists for the set pieces. Some good ones, at that

SHOOTING FULL METAL JACKET (1987)
The best version? of Vivian Kubrick's behind-the-scenes footage
Unfinished work. Re-edited by others into this 20 min work
We get a few insights into SK's process
Just makes me want to revisit FMJ again

DARK OF THE SUN (1968)
"It’s a truly sadistic movie, but it should be seen" - Scorsese
Rod Taylor and Jim Brown star
Mercenaries search for uncut diamonds in the Congo
Many brutal and action-packed scenes
But what sticks: how the mission reveals dark hearts
And there's a chainsaw fight!

PLUNDER ROAD (1957)
Crackerjack heist film. Gold on a train
Brilliant idea for robbery at the beginning. The rest is all about getting away
Tension-filled. Complicated feelings. Sometimes I wanted them to get caught. Sometimes I wanted them to be free
72 mins. No fat

THE FANTASTIC 4: FIRST STEPS (2025)
Galactus eats planets like I eat pizza. I like any toppings. Anchovies, pineapple. All good
This film is closer to my own sensibilities about this quartet. I like the 60s kitsch. We get some of the cosmic ectoplasm
I'm hungry for pizza now

A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES (2014)
Finally caught up with this
I like the Scudder books. Neeson does a good Scudder
I like what Scott Frank does with the material. Especially how he incorporates the Scudder backstory
Unpretentious crime tale with a good, hard-boiled edge

THE FRONT RUNNER (2018)
Another Jason Reitman film about the precipice of change (like SATURDAY NIGHT)
Gary Hart foolishly thinks what's private is not public
Not anymore 🤣
Themes stated are on-the-nose. Including a meet-cute over a Boston song. But Boston transcends all...

THE PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK (1971)
"You know what the best high of all is...death"
Drug addicts in NYC
Raw Al Pacino. Beguiling Kitty Winn
Jerry Schatzberg's photographic realism
Dunne-Dideon script pulls no punches
No score. 70s bleakness
Tough watch, but a rewarding piece of art

P.J. (1968)
Tough, swanky late-60s P.I. flick
Spirals into a world of murder, blackmail, and rich decadence (memorable scene of go-go dancers gyrating in a giant martini glass)
Classic Peppard. Not sure if we need to see his nipple in the poster, but here we are
A QT Cinema Speculation mention

PALE FLOWER (1964)

THE LOWER DEPTHS (1936)
Renoir and Gorky seem to be a match made
Struggles. Not purely of class, but to find a bit of hope among despair in the "lower depths"

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION (2025)
Binged this beast
Another chapter in the Ken Burns book of America
A multifaceted and (surprisingly) multicultural take on this American nascent event
Peter Coyote. Oil paintings. A wonderful score. I'm an easy mark
A work of thorny elegance

THE MAN I MARRIED (1940)
Watched because of Red Hollywood
The titular man gets swept up in Nazism. Can Hitler get in the way of a marriage?
I like how the film doesn't sugarcoat the regime. The fascist depictions are pretty frank
Disturbing stuff

American "referees" during the Egyptian-Israeli conflict

PAYBACK (1999)
