Lives in South Pasadena CA
Lately it feels as if action cinema has settled on a single template. What I call, ‘the John Wick scenario.’ A seemingly ordinary person is targeted by criminals who eventually learn that they have picked the wrong target. The truth comes out. 🎥

THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (1955)
One of the best movies ever. Charles Laughton's only directorial effort. Robert Mitchum is terrifying. Lillian Gish is beatific. Essential viewing.🎥

PEKING OPERA BLUES (1986)
I recently had the good fortune to see Peking Opera Blues at Vidiots in Highland Park, and the experience reminded me how fresh the film still feels. It’s one of the most inventive action films of all time. 🎥

GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933 (1933)
IMHO this is best of the Warner Bros 1930s musicals. It features some of Busby Berkeley's most INSANE musical stagings. Etta Moten blows the roof off the joint in the moving "Remember My Forgotten Man" number. Essential viewing. 🎥

NO WAY OUT (1987)
The 1980s was that rare period when good remakes were made. This is one. An inspired re-imagining of THE BIG CLOCK (1948). Starring Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman and Sean Young. Recommended. 🎥
