" Klute " showed up in the mailbox the other day. It is very much a product of its time, I think, a sort of Second Wave feminist thriller. What works about it are the performances: Donald Sutherland generally rewards close watching, and Jane Fonda shows off the things we recall about her when we recall that she can really act. Watching "Klute" I was struck by the answer to a question...

And speaking of television, and the good old days when Hollywood was patriotic and made great movies, I happened to catch the 1970 classic Kelly's Heroes yesterday. Aside from the fact that the movie features Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Caroll O'Connor, Harry Dean Stanton, Gavin MacLeod, Jeff Morris and Don Rickles all in the same movie, it's got lots of machine guns and tanks--tanks...

I'm Alive! Truth be told I'm not too acquainted with Astro Boy, other than reading up here and there, and seeing how popular he is in Kyoto that his stature appears almost everywhere near the main JR Station. Which of course the film has suited me fine, approaching it without baggage to watch an origin story right down to how Astro Boy loses his shirt for that naked upper body iconic look. Star scientist...
