This evening's viewing distraction: some classic 70s real-life conspiracy with All The President's Men. Redford and Hoffman, Alun Pakula directing, William Goldman scripting, adapting from Woodward & Bernstein's book of the investigation. 70s gold.

I just watched All the President's Men (Alan J. Pakula, 1976) and rated it 6/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the_President%27s_Men_%28film%29?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #AllThePresidentsMen #AlanJPakula #RobertRedford #DustinHoffman

Perché un Assassinio (1974) per la regia di Alan J. Pakula

Klute (1971), a psycho-sexual thriller with a neo-noir flavour, a 70s paranoia movie, a psychological drama, a love story. Great performances by Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland. One of the two best major studio mainstream movies of the 70s.

My review: https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2023/10/klute-1971.html

@analgesicsleep Well, with no #NoirAlley on #TCM tonight, I decided to watch #ThePelicanBrief an #AlanJPakula film with #JuliaRoberts and #DenzelWashington and plenty of favorite actors, based on a novel by John Grisham. It’s a favorite with all the staircase chases, garages, and environmentalist/political themes. Probably overshadowed these days by #MichaelClayton

A new #FilmsTRIPS podcast is out! This time, Andrew and I take a look at #AlanJPakula's 1992 thriller #ConsentingAdults: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/24panelspersecond/episodes/2023-04-11T17_00_00-07_00 #KevinKline #MaryElizabethMastrantonio #RebeccaMiller #KevinSpacey #ForestWhitaker #EGMarshall

With the announcement that former #US #President #DonaldTrump has been indicted in #Manhattan, here are 2 #movies worth checking out:

1) Inevitably, #AlanJPakula's #AllThePresidentsMen, about the role of 2 #journalists in uncovering the #Watergate scandal.

2) #PaoloSorrentino's #political #comedy of sorts #IlDivo, starring an outstanding #ToniServillo as the relentlessly #corrupt #Italian #PrimeMinister #GiulioAndreotti (off & on from 1972–92).

Future World - another new entry to my 70 paraanoia list - probably hast the best film posters I have ever seen.

I remember the movie beeing pretty bad

"I just wish that I could let things happen and enjoy it, you know, for what it is and while it lasts and relax about it. But all the time, all the time, I keep feeling the need to destroy it, to break it off, to go back to the comfort of being numb again."

From the movie called #Klute

These words are kinda reflections of my mood. I haven't watched the movie but I'll watch it this weekend, it's on my list.
