Movie Favorite

"I’m going to put Hitchcock’s Notorious on there — the Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant film — because I think that was one of the first films that I saw as a child where I felt like, “Ok, that’s my favorite movie.” I thought it was the most romantic movie I had ever seen. It’s impeccably written, impeccably constructed, and her performance in it, I think, is really peerless actually. She’s so simple and detailed. It’s a kind of perfect spy movie. I really love that genre and I think she’s incredible in it. I actually think she’s a really under-rated actress."

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.
