  The reluctant hero. Nothing more American.

  Auto Focus 2002

  ★★★ Watched 25 Mar 2025

  There's a movie somewhere in here about prudish society, hypocrisy, and what becomes of repressed people, especially when they're in the public eye. And Schrader is perfectly suited to make it. Unfortunately, this weirdly isn't that movie. This is like if the Paul Schrader sex addict movie were directed by Robert Wise.

  All About Eve 1950

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 06 Mar 2025

  After revisiting both, I have a slight preference for Sunset Boulevard, but this is still one of the better Best Picture winners ever.

  Four women nominated for acting and Marilyn Monroe is also in this. Absurd talent all around. Anne Baxter running in the leading category to hurt Bette Davis' chances is almost too good.

  The Accidental Tourist 1988

  Every character is in a different movie. And there are so many characters. Even John Williams can’t figure out what the tone of this is supposed to be.

  This was nominated for Best Picture. Lol.
