  • Ninja, A Band of Assassins

    Ninja, A Band of Assassins 1962

    ★★★★ Watched 04 Jan 2025

    Having no interest starting a movie series at this moment I’ve been sticking to my rule of watching my Radiance subscription bundles by spine order so I tore the adhesive strip off and dove right in. I hope the rest of the flicks in this trilogy set are as good as the opener because god damn— great stuff. No way it wasn’t some sort of influence on the Vader/Luke Skywalker dynamic. It’s so damn compelling and stealth-like. One particular set…

    The World of Henry Orient 1964

    Gawd. Would love a follow-up flick showing the girls as teens hitting on boys. Like the promised flick at the end of Band of Outsiders that we also never really saw. 

    Going in as blind as possible means I’m always in for a ride. And here I thought George Roy Hill was making a zany Sellers antics comedy when it turns out Orient’s a secondary character and it’s a coming-of-age drama.

    Gray characters are my thing. I like that Larry isn’t entirely likable and that his occasional mistreatment of Sarah is due to his relationship with his mother. And his motley ensemble of friends has highly inspired the kind of stuff I make. 

    But what a cast: don’t miss the soon-to-be very famous actor who’s just a background character.

    It’s an ensemble with a lead character. And another favorite thing: how every scene…

  • More American Graffiti

    More American Graffiti 1979

    ★★★★½ Watched 26 Sep 2020

    Have always acted like it doesn't exist because of how bad it's supposed to be.

    Now, not only did I fall in love with Cisco Pike, so of course, I found out that Bill L. Norton wrote and directed More American Graffiti, highly peaking my interest, but I had already put it on my LB watchlist after Quentin Tarantino raved about it on a podcast.

    American Graffiti is one of my life-long favorites. I cherish it to hell. So after,…
