My βοΈβοΈβοΈ1/2 review of CAT BALLOU boxd.it/eJzr1n
Lightweight comedy/western romp has a lot of charm despite its modest goals. Amusing & entertaining...sometimes, that's more than enough!
Fonda is plucky & appealing as school marm turned outlaw & Marvin is uproarious as boozy gunslinger.

My βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ review of COMING HOME boxd.it/eK5RyV
Essential portrait of veteran experience. Emotional toil of war doesn't end on battlefield.
Compassionate, powerful, impeccably acted character piece asks tough questions...something not permissable in '26 America. Challenge, don't comply.

Robert Altman's stunning NASHVILLE premieres in U.S.
Might sound like hyperbole, but changed my perception of how movies could be assembled. One of my top ten films of all time! β€οΈ
Dozens of characters, overlapping storylines, mix of reality/verite. Still blows my mind!

In a post-Vietnam world, Hal Ashby's COMING HOME felt almost necessary. How do we grapple with the horrors of war? Disillusionment about our government? Betrayal of promises made? Anger at things we w...
The comedy/western CAT BALLOU is really quite likable. 1) Jane Fonda is plucky. 2) Her partners in crime (Michael Callan and Dwayne Hickman) are charismatic. 3) Tom Nardini plays a charming and amusin...
My β β β β β review of Nashville boxd.it/agITCB
Kaleidoscopic vision of country in transition remains in my Top Ten films of all time.
Superb juggling of characters & storylines; contrasting tradition vs. modernity at intersection of politics & entertainment.

#NowWatching COMING HOME (1978). Director: Hal Ashby. Jon Voight, Jane Fonda.
Rewatching the '78 Vietnam movie set on the home front, examining the impact of war on returning vets.
Voight & Fonda won Oscars. Hard to recognize this Voight from the asshole he is today.

#NowWatching CAT BALLOU (1965). Director: Elliot Silverstein. Lee Marvin, Jane Fonda.
Marvin won an Oscar playing dual roles in this goofy, spoofy Western. Rare comedy win in Lead Category. Rewatch.
Behold Nat King Cole & Stubby Kaye as singing minstrels!

Without hyperbole, Robert Altman's stunning NASHVILLE is one of the reasons I fell in love with movies. When I viewed it growing up, I had never seen anything quite like it. With dozens of characters,...
#NowWatching NASHVILLE (1975). Director: Robert Altman. Keith Carradine, Karen Black.
I've decided! 400th film is rewatch of Altman's masterpiece. Overlapping dialogue, dozens of characters, movie's narrative construction rocked my world as youth. Spoiler alert: 5-star review incoming.

Milestone incoming...
Just realized I'm at 399 titles watched & reviewed in 2025. Gotta make number 400 special! Thinking of rewatching one of my all-timer classics tomorrow.
Maybe ALL ABOUT EVE or TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.
I'll stew on it.
