Rest In Power Robert Redford – All The President’s Men, A Masterpiece

2 Comments

Legendary actor, director and humanitarian Robert Redford passed away on September 16, 2025. Tonight we are watching “All The President’s Men” in honor of his life and legacy. This movie is about Bob Woodward played by Redford and Carl Bernstein that is played by Dustin Hoffman, who investigated the Watergate story in the 1970’s that would result in bring down Richard Nixon’s presidency. It’s a masterpiece that starts intense and finishes strong. It’s a terrific film with all sorts of intrigue and tells the story of hungry journalists getting to the bottom of a serious story.

This movie is about Bob Woodward played by Redford and Carl Bernstein that is played by Dustin Hoffman, who investigated the Watergate break-in story in the 1970s that would result in bring down Richard Nixon’s presidency. It’s a masterpiece that starts intense and finishes strong.

I highly recommend everyone see this movie because there are parallels to today’s political scene.

Throwback Thursday – Back To The Future at 40

Leave a comment

Back To The Future is one of my favorite movies. It was released on June 3, 1985, which makes it 40 years old. It is so hard to believe this classic film is 40, that is the funny thing about time travel. Thank you for the movie magic, memories and timeless adventure Steven, Robert, Alan, Michael, Christopher, Lea and Crispin. As Huey sings, it’s about the Power of Love.

Brats – The Story Of The “Brat Pack”

5 Comments

In the 1980s, a group of young actors collectively known as the “Brat Pack” starred in movies about the lives of young adults of the era. Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, and Mare Winningham were icons of my generation.

Andrew McCarthy made a documentary film that is streaming on Hulu about the “Brat Pack” called “Brats” where he did interviews with some members of the group and others who were adjacent and could speak to the events of the day. McCarthy does a great job of connecting the dots culturally and historically of this special era in the movies.

If you are a member of Generation X then you must see this movie. It will give you feels and remind you of a great time in entertainment and history. Andrew McCarthy did a great job on this. I also recommend it to anyone interested in cultural pop history.

All Aboard The Polar Express With Tom Hanks

1 Comment

Rounding out the double feature tonight is The Polar Express featuring Tom Hanks. I think this animated film is filled with nostalgia and is thought-provoking in its own right. It’s a visual feast with lots of surprises. Like any Christmas/holiday film, watching it for what it is and what you can get from it is best.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish: Män som hatar kvinnor – literally – Men who hate women) is a 2009 Swedish dramathriller film based on the novel of the same name by Swedish author/journalist Stieg Larsson. – From Wikipedia

I like this movie because of the grittiness, the intrigue and the way it takes the viewer into a very different world of murder and how to cover it up Swedish style which is a lot like it’s done everywhere else.

The Bourne Supremacy – A Great Sequel

The Bourne Supremacy does a great job of picking up from the “Bourne Identity”. I love Matt Damon in these movies. He is a cerebral action star who knows how to kick ass. At some point this man needs an Oscar for Acting. Next up is the “Bourne Ultimatum” and then we should be ready to see Jason Bourne.
