    This isn't a wending tale simply to entertain, though it does.
    This is artistry, a challenge to pursue, one that is gracefully offered and planned with a focus on plot, motivation, and passion.
    The actors are artful, playful, daring, and all in. They’re flawless.
    This master offers up a story about accountability with witty distraction and a variety of points of view.

    You’re in savvy hands, totally covered, primed, set up, and ready. Everything is under control — via Kurosawa. Exhale.

    Strap on you savvy britches. Take a deep breath. This is a ride for the mind and the heart. Impeccable. Savvy. Smart. Edgy. Freaky. Daunting. Snappy. Well plotted. ++Delightful choices of actors.

    Freakishly Perfect.

    So dude darn good. 

    It’s a dark @!#$% comedy! It’s humor. Close your gaping  mouth and just go with it. It’s not what it seems. :-)

    Still an amazing punch in history and fictional drama. 
    Could have been shortened a smidge.

    Out of Mind, Out of Sight

    ★★★★

    It's hard to witness the ugliness and disorderliness of those who are caught in the depths of mental illness, but it is just as hard to see their humanity peak through. The peak reveals their pain, their innocence, their unfair lot, and our similarities. They're human, like us.
    This doc is hard to watch at times because the people aren't neat and pretty and well ordered. They're common. Poor. Doped up. And all too warmly human. They're us, just with…

    The French Connection

    ★★★★½

    Tough. Raw. Bad days being black, Chicano, but not French. Crashes. Mucky old crumbling buildings. A pork pie hat. Ankle gun holster. Running. Lots of running.  Buddies. Crooks. Really bright balloon red fake blood. There was a slim hot babe with long legs and bright lipstick.
    The kind of movie your dad grew up living at the time.
