I generally am creeped out by films set in 1890s USia, but Strawberry Blonde (1941), James Cagney, Rita Hayworth, Olivia de Havilland, is pretty durn entertaining.

Was listening to the #rewatchables podcast and they covered Sneakers this week. I feel like I'm one of the few who didn't just fall in love with the movie. It's very well made, has a great score, and that lineup is hard to argue with.
For whatever reason it just doesn't grab me.. the tech guy who loves computers.. it's in a small list of pop culture I don't fall in line with...and well that's ok.
It is however as timely as ever and well worth a watch.
My Girl 2 came out in 1994. Guess who finally got around to watching it today?
I was not kidding when i said it can take a very long time for me to watch a film. 😂
Most of the other ones on my to-watch list aren’t quite that old, though.
(It was a pretty decent story, too!)
I #watched 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)… 3.0 STARS! #films #Filmstodon #letterboxd
Just like it's predecessor, The Bone Temple was not quite what i expected.

I #watched Cut-Throats Nine (1971)… 4.0 STARS! #films #Filmstodon #letterboxd
Definitively a primary influence on Tarantino’s Hateful 8. Cut-Throat 9 doesn’t sugarcoat its misanthropy and brutality with smart dialogue and dark comedy.

We had a big conversation about narrative perspective and this film over dinner, so now we’re watching it. A really beautiful film!
