It's my way
I'm not sure that qualitatively anyone had a better decade than Harrison Ford in the 1980's. The man was in hit after hit that also happened to be really great films and ones that have stood the test of time. Kelly McGillis might come close though with Witness, Top Gun and The Accused showing her range with Witness my favorite of her roles and a film that I like more each time I…
The problem we're trying to solve is that there are rich teams and there are poor teams. Then there's fifty feet of crap, and then there's us
I worked at a 19 screen movie theatre when this came out and didn't bother to watch it on release but once it went upstairs to one of the four smallest auditoriums where films go in their last week I decided to catch it before it was gone for good. And I loved…

If I were 20 years older, in a higher tax bracket, drank wine and actually had friends I would tell them about this charming little film that I heard about on NPR. I'm not, so instead I'll say that You Hurt My Feelings was a film that I mildly chuckled at several times, was much more sincere than I was expecting, showed two people who genuinely loved each other and seemed like they actually wanted to spend time around their…
For whatever reason I've been thinking a lot about my own mortality lately and seeing one of my formative childhood idols so old in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny brought up a lot of feelings. Harrison Ford is 80 now and it struck me that I'm not sure how many more films or years he has left and a profound sense of melancholy gripped me as the film went on, no doubt enhanced by the film itself which…
