Anger Management
★★★ Watched

Maybe it's because of the state of 21st century comedies, but I laughed at this much more and much harder than the last time I saw this (which was a million years ago).

I'm not saying Giuliani is THE worst thing that's aged in this movie, but he's up there.

Funny People
★★★½ Watched

Wait... the stand up shown in this movie is supposed to be GOOD??

This might be Sandler's best performance. His anger and rage may have never been put to better use.

The sexiest movie of the '30s?

The scenes between Gable and Harlow have fun, snappy dialogue. Feels like a proto-screwball comedy.

Was Howard Hawks inspired by Red Dust? You can watch films like Only Angels Have Wings, To Have and Have Not, Hatari, among others, and see the connections.

A soaking wet Mary Astor is on my short list of the sexiest a person has ever looked in front of a movie camera.

"Please let me down."
"Aren't you comfortable?"

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
★★★★½ Liked Watched

Maggie Smith (RIP) and Pamela Franklin's last scene together is one of the great final duels without a sword or a gun. This movie hits a lot harder than it did last time I saw it about ten years ago.

"You have murdered Mary!"
"You have assassinated me!"
