RoboCop (1987, dir. Paul Verhoeven): I like ultraviolence and gory practical effects as much as the next girl but mostly I found this movie too loud and obnoxious to enjoy it.

A Star Is Born (1954, dir. George Cukor): I got the chance to see this on the big screen and what an incredible experience! Judy Garland will never be matched, she performs like she's bursting apart from the intensity of it.

The Birds (1963, dir. Alfred Hitchcock): Yeah yeah, Hitchcock is a master of suspense and there are some incredibly tense scenes in this movie but the payoff looks so goofy, I couldn't take it seriously. That's not to say it wasn't incredibly entertaining!

Fellini Satyricon (1969, dir. Federico Fellini): Dreamlike, strange, erotic and gay as hell. What's not to love? The way Fellini captures the fragmentary quality of the original text is beautiful and the mise-en-scene feels right out of our deepest subconscious, outside of space and time.

The Barbarian Invasions (2003, dir. Denys Arcand): The way the son kept throwing money at every problem and how it kept working.... this movie raised a lot of issues it didn't seem at all interested in discussing.

Poltergeist (1982, dir. Tobe Hooper): Good, wholesome, scary fun. I kinda wish I'd seen this as a kid but I think it probably would have traumatized me.

Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989, dir. Woody Allen): I am so ready to never see another Woody Allen film.

CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS- 1989 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Judah's lover blackmails him into continuing their extra-marital affair by threatening to tell on him. Meanwhile, Cliff, a filmmaker and a married man, falls for his brother-in-law's associate.

Very good comedy/drama film. Many great performances but Alan Alda stands out as being my favourite, very funny.

Directed by Woody Allen.

Martin Landau in Crimes and Misdemeanors (Woody Allen, 1989)

Cast: Martin Landau, Claire Bloom, Anjelica Huston, Woody Allen, Alan Alda, Sam Waterston, Joanna Gleason, Mia Farrow, Jerry Orbach, Martin Bergmann. Screenplay: Woody Allen. Cinematography: Sven Nykvist. Production design: Santo Loquasto. Film editing: Susan E. Morse.

In Crimes and Misdemeanors, a prime example of his mid-career films, Woody Allen tries to mix film noir with the "cinema of ideas," while at the same time mocking his own efforts to do so. He tells the story of an ophthalmologist, Judah Rosenthal (Martin Landau), who hires a hit man to kill his mistress (Anjelica Huston), who is threatening to expose their affair to Judah's wife (Claire Bloom). At the same time, Allen also tells the story of Cliff Stern (Allen), a documentary film-maker who wants to deal with serious subject matter but instead is forced to make a movie about his brother-in-law, Lester (Alan Alda), a glib, womanizing TV producer. Both Judah and Cliff are wrestling with the existentialist dilemma: In the absence of God, how do we determine what is right? Judah suffers pangs of guilt for his crime, recalling the fear of God instilled in him by his Jewish upbringing, but he gets away with the murder and has evidently smothered his guilt by intellectually justifying it. Cliff meets and falls in love with Lester's charming associate producer, Halley (Mia Farrow), who is enthusiastic about the project Cliff has been working on: a profile of a philosopher, Louis Levy (Martin Bergmann), who has experienced suffering and worked his way to an apparent affirmation of life. But Cliff is fired after submitting a first cut of the film about Lester, and the life-affirming philosopher commits suicide, putting an end to Cliff's "serious" project. Judah and Cliff come together at the wedding of the daughter of Cliff's other brother-in-law, a rabbi named Ben (Sam Waterston), who happens to be one of Judah's patients and has been going blind throughout the film, accepting it as God's will. After telling Cliff his "idea" for a film -- essentially his own story -- and discussing the moral implications, Judah walks off happily with his wife, leaving Cliff, who has just heard Lester announce his engagement to Halley, very much alone. Yes, the ironies are as thick and heavy as that. There are strong performances from all the principals, including Jerry Orbach as Judah's brother, who arranges the hit, and Landau received a well-deserved supporting actor Oscar nomination. Allen's nominations as director and screenwriter are more iffy: He seems to me an animator of ideas and ironies rather than a creator of living human beings.

Galladrabbles: You Were Meant for Me

The sweet sounds of Jewel 💎 for our @galladrabbles prompt this week, courtesy of @atthedugouts!

=============

Lip gets the call at 1am. Doesn’t even flinch - Chicago PD’s got the Gallagher house on speed-dial.

“Again?” he seethes. It’s his turn to bail the assholes out.

“Let me get this straight. You two stole an old van so you could make out in some rich lady’s driveway?”

“Anniversary of our first kiss, Lip. Had to go big,” Ian says, all innocence.

“Go big? With another indecent exposure charge?”

“At least she didn’t shoot at us,” Mickey laughs, to his husband’s utter delight.

Lip’s done. “You know what? You two were meant for each other.” 

“Yep,” they both agree.
