Thoughts: Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) is have one bad night. After meeting Marcy Franklin (Rosanna Arquette) in a coffee shop and getting her number, he decides to head to SoHo in New York City to see her late at night. The movie is funny and very New York. It was nice to see Catherine O'Hara in it. Trivia - Martin Scorsese told Griffin Dunne to refrain from sex and sleep during filming in order to get a more realistic feeling of paranoia.
(M) This Film Is Not Yet Rated. (Kirby Dick, 2006) Grade: B+
Thoughts: An informative and interesting documentary into the rating system for movies. Not surprising is how political and corporate the whole process is. The fact that violence is not considered NEARLY as bad as sex is disturbing. It is like the government is trying to make us think guns and death are okay but never sex. Hence, why I love foreign films so much because violence is curbed and sex scenes are open.
(M) Kramer Vs. Kramer. (Robert Benton, 1979) Grade: A-
Thoughts: Yuppie, workaholic Ted Kramer (Dustin Hoffman), is left to raise his young son (Justin Henry) after his wife Joanna Kramer (Meryl Streep) walks out on him. This was a fantastic film about family and dealing with divorce. The acting from both Hoffman and Streep was great to watch.
