NO WAY OUT (1987)
The 1980s was that rare period when good remakes were made. This is one. An inspired re-imagining of THE BIG CLOCK (1948). Directed by Roger Donaldson and written by Robert Garland based on the 1946 Kenneth Fearing novel. Starring Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman and Sean Young. Recommended.

UDO KIER R.I.P.
(1944-2025)
Kier was such a unique actor & presence - he was in so many things - some great, some good, some horrible. I loved his performance in SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE (pictured). Kier worked frequently with Lars Von Trier - BREAKING THE WAVES, DOGVILLE, DANCER IN THE DARK, etc. He worked with Gus Van Sant, Rainer Werner Fassbender, Dario Argento, etc. He amassed over 280 film/TV credits. Rest In Peace.

PURPLE NOON (1960)

IMHO, René Clément gave us the finest adaptation of Patrica Highsmith's novel THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY. Alain Delon is Ripley par excellence. Highly recommended.

SUPPORTING ACTOR SUNDAY


ALLISON JANNEY
One of the best actors on the screen today. Janney's breakthrough came with the role of C. J. Cregg in the NBC political drama series THE WEST WING (1999–2006), for which she received four Primetime Emmy Awards. She was also delightful as the star of MOM (2013-2021). In moves, she gave wonderful turns in 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU; I, TONYA; THE CREATOR and many others. What role do you think of her for?

CHINATOWN (1974)
I was 16 when I first saw this and I thought it was one of the best movies ever made. I still do. I bow down to writer Robert Towne. Essential viewing.
