To Live and Die in L.A. - 1985

Anyone seen this? William Friedkin directed it. William Petersen gets a lot of praise for Manhunter (rightfully so), but he is just as good in this. When he says that he is going to bust Rick Masters no matter what, he means it. The car chase is iconic. Wang Chung does most of the music.

Blow Out - 1981

Posted by NankerPhelge on 2/17/26 at 11:37 pm

Anyone a fan of Blow Out? John Travolta is great in this. Nancy Allen is ok, but I like her much better in Dressed to Kill. John Lithgow is the perfect villian. I like how De Palma always opens with something that grabs your attention. The end of the film comes full circle, which is a nice touch. The Hitchcock influence is obvious.

Watched Tender Mercies for the first time a few weeks ago. He won an Oscar for it.

Robert Blake is great and so was Mitchell Ryan. Plot was a little loose and the motorcycle chase scene was not the best. I will never forget the ending though....
