To Live and Die in L.A. 1985
“Uncle Sam don’t give a shit about your expenses. You want bread? Fuck a baker.”
An electric 80s neon noir shot with enough style for ten movies. Everything is excessive as hell and extremely fun with a script that complicates convention just enough to make sure you never stop questioning whether you should actually be having so much fun with it.
William Peterson is running around like Marty McFly with a badge and a coke problem while young Willem Dafoe is 50% cold blooded criminal mastermind, 50% off-brand David Bowie. The whole thing makes 1980s Los Angeles look simultaneously awesome and awful. It absolutely rules.

The Age of Innocence 1993
This absolutely ruled. Production design, performances, cinematography, editing… everyone is throwing 100 here. I did not expect to come out of this one proclaiming its status as a top-tier Scorsese masterpiece but that’s just what it is. He flexes every directorial muscle he’s got to breathe kinetic life into this story that (in another filmmaker’s hands) could have just been another boring, stuffy period drama. Beautiful.

Basic Instinct 1992
An entire segment of the film industry used to be “Michael Douglas is once again too horny for his own good” and it was awesome.
