Appointment with Danger 1950
"Tell me one thing Al. Was the money real?"
"The money was real. You died a rich man."
[rolls over and dies]
This is an underrated and under-appreciated Noir with the great Alan Ladd in the lead as a serious tough guy, cold blooded, postal-inspector cop trying to figure out who murdered a colleague.
Cheap hotels. Smokey pool halls. Dingy hideouts with cabinets stocked full of weaponry. Dark, rainy alleys. Steel foundries. The settings are full of character and atmosphere.
The on-location scenes, including the climactic shoot out, in the heavy industrial areas of Gary, Indiana are excellent.

The French Dispatch 2021
I found the latest Wes Anderson offering tedious and almost painfully boring.
This is a talented, creative guy who’s stopped telling stories in favor of showing everyone how relentlessly eccentric and offbeat he can be. He’s pure style.
Not quite self-parody but self obsession.

Cutter's Way 1981
For years I was made to understand this obscure 1981 film, featuring one of the-great-Jeff-Bridges first big roles, was an unfairly forgotten work of art. After watching it I understand why it has not lasted and why it is a little difficult to find.
Bridges did well with what he had but the characters, all of them, were not real or comprehensible. They were bad inventions and because of that they did not make sense. This was boredom and despair…
