You'll probably be very sad if you DO see it on a big screen, because it's a deeply melancholy film.

Okay, well, I hope you figure it out.

Since we're approaching March, how about the films of.... Fredric March?

"'e's awl eaten sigh!"

Hey, I went to high school with a guy whose last name was Gump. No joke. He was smart and a terrific tenor, too.

The mustache (which is actually pretty impressive) & the behavior scream troubled Civil War veteran turned cowboy circa 1870. I think Shia's a man out of time who should honestly head west to get some peace of mind in the wide open spaces working on cattle ranches.

Rest in Peace Robert Duvall, 1931-2026.

Amongst his numerous incredible performances over the past 65+ years, this is personally one of my very favorites. From OPEN RANGE (2003), with Kevin Costner and James Russo. Directed by Kevin Costner.

VICE SQUAD (1953)
A lean, punchy slice of early 1950s urban noir, anchored by a tough, unsentimental performance from Edward G. Robinson as a weary Los Angeles police captain racing against the clock to find a missing woman before she becomes another statistic. 🎥

Theatrical Trailer: BLUE STEEL (1990, MGM/UA). Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Ron Silver, Clancy Brown, Elizabeth Peña, and Louise Fletcher. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow.

Still classic as far as I'm concerned.

In FIVE EASY PIECES (1970), Jack Nicholson's character, Bobby, frustrates a waitress at a roadside diner by repeatedly requesting modifications to his omelette order.

FIVE EASY PIECES is currently available to stream FREE on Tubi.
