Ah, to live and die in LA - RIP
‘Sorcerer’ 1977. With the music by Tangerine Dream. Bridge scene was haunting.
Terrible movie. Sorry I went to see it back in the day.
My buddy Augie was his first call editor for the last 20 or so years. I’m sure they worked on well over a dozen projects together. That was Augie’s real step-up into the bigs.
Friedkin was one of the best directors — and the Exorcist — well, what can I say about that film that hasn’t already been said. The only horror film that actually scares me because... well... it’s real.
Freddy, Jason, all the clown icons — not real.
The Enemy on the other hand...
I’ll give a shout out to one of his least heralded films, Blue Chips. Just watched it for the first time in years a couple weeks ago and it still holds up for me, and not just because of the nostalgia factor either. The performances, even from the “amateurs”, is first rate, and no one has ever filmed basketball in a more realistic way.
