Atlantic City 1980
So this was alright. It’s like a crime romance with some comedy, pretty light viewing. Burt Lancaster was fun in his role as a passed up old timer who suddenly has a series of lucky breaks. This made me want to watch more Susan Sarandan movies, she was very good. Overall though, I have no idea what this film wanted to say, if anything. There’s something in there about Atalantic City being a sadder Vegas as a parallel to the characters but I didn’t get much else from it. It’s definitely watchable but compared to the other Louis Malle films I’ve seen it’s a step down.

Drummers in rock bands are barely cool dude, you’re in a…

It’s about a 3 minute song which is a major problem for a Snyder cut because he needs more time to properly set up the movie! So what does he…

Harakiri 1962
So I’ve been on a bit of a bad luck streak movie wise the past week, watched a few with good ratings I thought I’d like and haven’t given over 3 stars to any of them. I get kind of antsy when I haven’t seen a great movie in a while so I didn’t want to fuck around for my next watch - I went to my watch list here which has swelled to an insane 1,500 movies and sorted…
