Hollywood Shuffle 1987
Easy to see how influential this satire/critique of Hollywood’s racism and stereotypes is.
Funny and dated. Some of the sketches work better than others, and even some of the better ones overstay their welcome. Needed less gay punchlines.
The combo of Bobby’s story intercut with sketches (most of which are framed as hallucinations/dream sequences or things he’s watching) works. They’re disconnects and break up the narrative but also create a singular perspective by going in and out of Bobby's head…

Police Story 3: Super Cop 1992
The Best of the three Police Story movies lives up to the promise of early peak Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh and in a smaller role Maggie Cheung.
The script is absurd of course but there’s a confidence and cohesion that wasn’t always there in the first two. The fact that Jackie/Maggie/Michelle hit full mega star status by the time this releases is palpable. The production values have taken a big step up. All the non-action stuff feels way crisper…

Drive-Away Dolls 2024
This was funny to watch right after Burn After Reading. More than a few similarities, but the characters and situations in this felt a lot more real despite only being slightly less of a ridiculous fiasco.
The rare movie I wish was longer. Could've been an all timer if it had a little it more to it, a little more character work, a little more connective tissue, and a little more writing of the hard stuff. As written the script…

Burn After Reading 2008
My first non Lebowski Coen Brothers...
Comedy of errors about a bunch of mush heads making increasingly unhinged *decisions* which bounce off each other like pool balls and create an ever expanding fiasco.
Tight script. Often dry like wine but occasionally dry like saltines. Pretty fun over all.
