  Sophie's Choice 1982

  ★★★ Watched 05 Dec 2023

  Meryl is undeniable. Her Best Actress win has to be one of the most deserved.

  I just wish the movie around her had been more succinct. Kevin Kline is detestable and Peter MacNichol’s sweet Stingo is not enough to offset the abusive relationship at the core of the story.

  I ain't scared. I'll give it 5 stars.

  May December is an exceptional exploration of performance and our society's rotted tabloid fascination. It dares to pose questions we rarely touch but Todd Haynes and his screenwriter Samy Burch manages to avoid the potholes while landing on a tricky road of compassion and ambiguity.

  Their last vacation.

  The last thing he bought for her.

  Rambling Rose 1991

  ★★ Watched 15 Feb 2020

  A baffling screenplay. Here’s some of my favorite lines:

  “Replace that tit!”

  “I have robbed the cradle and fell into hell.”

  “The strangest vibrations in this house today!“

  “I am only a human girl person and I ain’t always perfect.”
  “I am only a human man person myself of the father variety.“

  “Pack your bag, baby. As of this moment, you are hired, mired and fired.”
