To Live and Die in L.A.

1985

★★★★ Watched

Take all the tension of The French Connection and relocate the story to the West Coast in the 80s. Replace Gene Hackman with William Peterson. Keep the car chase. Lose Roy Scheider but add Wang Chung and Willem Dafoe. You're getting close.

Valkyrie

2008

★★★★ Watched

Intriguing and engrossing with a cast to die for, yet still suffers the delima that all historicals must face: We know the outcome. Its difficult to build tension and suspense after you've peeked at the ending.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

1988

★★★★½ Liked Rewatched

An oldie, but a goodie. Hard to believe it's over 30 years old, as the technical wizardry is just as impressive today as it was in the theatre.

DC Showcase: Adam Strange

2020

★★★½ 3

Another in the DC Showcase animated shorts line, attached to Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. I confess to knowing next to nothing about Adam Strange, so that made this viewing both a thrilling little fifteen-minute ride... and a confusing one, as I would like to know more.

Near as I can figure, he's a tragic soul, "Quantum Leaping" his way through the Galaxy helping folks in need while he waits for the right opportunity to get back to set things…
