The White Lotus hotel chain must have a fantastic PR team to get in front of all these murders taking place at their different locations. This smells like a great story for an ace reporter. Maybe the plotline for next season...

Hands Off - Los Feliz, Los Angeles

Elon Musk must have been the only kid who walked out of MOONRAKER wanting to be Hugo Drax and not James Bond. He would also have wanted to do all the master race repopulating himself.

Jonathan Demme’s neo-noir LAST EMBRACE is seriously underrated. It’s as if Demme plugged Roy Scheider’s Doc character from MARATHON MAN into a spin-off paranoid thriller. Great films are the ones that imprint on the memory and trigger all the senses. This one does that.

Wait - Martin Campbell had a new film out in December and I didn’t hear a peep about it, let alone see any marketing. What the hell is happening to this industry? It’s called DIRTY ANGELS, by the way - with Eva Green. Martin Campbell is one of action cinema’s all-time greats.

Thanks to the legendary Randal Kleiser for his kind words on BLUE MOVIES.
