Totally gonna go there, calling foul on some popular favorites. Sorry kids, but Captain America is a proud anti-law ass, and Iron Man is a short-attention-span killer. Whoops. Iron Man 2 I was at an ArcLight for this, the one in Sherman Oaks. One of their gimmicks was to...

I haven’t seen Black Widow yet, so no idea where that fits in. That leaves 23 films, but putting them in a precise order sounded too much like work. So I divvied them up into three groups, but they’re in no particular order beyond that. Thor 3: Ragnarok This...

Compare the character of Lonesome Rhodes from A Face In The Crowd with the title character in Bob Roberts. What do these characters say about each filmmaker’s view of the common man in America?  What do these characters tell us about corruption in the American political system (and the...

God, I hated this movie. That’s all I remember about it; how irritating it was to watch. Still liking my writing though. A Pulp Fiction joke, ‘noble civil savages’, there’s some good stuff in here. A Face in the Crowd How does the film end? In the final scene...

I was reading through for a last edit, and through question after question, I couldn’t for the life of me remember watching the movie, or anything about it. I remember writing this, but not watching what I was writing about. Still I enjoyed the reading. Some legit future-predicting commentary...

There were three movies in this module- All the President’s Men, Good Night/Good Luck, and Shattered Glass. There were no question sets for Shattered Glass, which was good because I didn’t actually watch it. I sat through maybe the first half-hour and then had to walk away. Hayden Christensen...

Dinner theater tonight is the first Avengers team-up. So much toxic masculinity being ejaculated all over the screen! Anyway, I want to see the Infinity War that’s all about Thanos trying to double the amount of food in the universe, and the Avengers dying to stop him because their...

In my head, Red October is still the best Clancy picture, by far. Harrison Ford was too Mr America, and Ben Affleck was too jock. There’s no way around it, Jack Ryan is a Baldwin. The movie was so good it inspired me to read the book, the book...

The second film from the second module, Politics & Film. I’d seen this one before, so each of these questions got some background processing not afforded to most of the other movies in the course. Reading through this today, I’m still pretty solid on the answers written. Good Night,...
