Austin Garrick recommended A Bout de Souffle (Breathless) (1960) in Movies (curated)

"Another classic foundation piece of modern cinema. My personal favorite thing about this film is the relatable dynamic of the two main characters’ somewhat undefined relationship, a dynamic that after fifty years still feels as modern as ever. For different reasons, I’m also a big fan of the widely panned 1983 remake starring Richard Gere, in arguably the coolest role of his career. The remake is no Godard—really it’s a different film—but I challenge anyone to forget that they’ve ever seen the original for ninety minutes, revisit the remake, and not admit its criminally overlooked qualities!"

There is literally nothing I could say that hasn't already been said about Raiders of the Lost Ark, so in short...

Although films such as Star Wars and Jaws had come before, the first Indiana Jones adventure truly set the blueprint for blockbuster cinema. It scared me as a kid, delighted me as I grew a little older, and still rips all these years later. Its influence can be seen in all avenues of popular culture since, and I will never, NEVER forget how Paul Freeman didn't even flinch a millimeter when a fly crawled into his mouth mid line. Cold. As. Ice.

I had to pony up the money to see this film at the Drafthouse since they were the only theater chain to have rights to play it. Pay $9.50 for a ticket and munch on chicken tendies or pay $24.99 to sit at my house? No contest.
Bill and Ted have to write their civilization-saving song within a short amount of time. Can they do it?
Yes, this movie was dumb, and funny, but I wasn't expecting high art cinema. Of course, it can never measure up to the first one, but I was entertained.

Charlie's Angels is a sometimes entertaining, but mostly boring spy film. It has a talented cast for sure, but a screenplay that leaves a lot to be desired, and a lot of the jokes fall flat.
Female empowerment absolutely has a place in action cinema, a genre that is completely outbalanced in terms of gender roles, but the film as a whole zones in on it so much, that everything around it feels secondary, and as a result, the finished product is a drag.

Also, John Bosley is a villain now for reasons apparently, and I'm sad about it.

Excellent Cop Thriller

Finally caught this as I missed it at the cinema, currently on Amazon Prime. It's a decent cop thriller as 2 robbers night goes from bad to worse after killing some cops during a raid. So Mahattan gets put into lock down as they are pursued through the night.
The action scenes are good and it goes at a good pace, making it quite intense. It did remind me of a couple of other Cop thrillers, so not that original. It's very well made and with a good cast make it an enjoyable ride.
