“Can I borrow your towel for a sec? My car just hit a water buffalo.” With his two most acclaimed characters, Chase plays the dimmest (Griswold) and smartest (Fletch) guy in the room.

Ah, yes, the good old days…when we would endanger the lives of stunt people, actors, and crew to make a kickass movie. Just a wonderfully compact little action thriller that works on every level and caught me holding my breath multiple times.

Mystic Pizza

1988

★★½ Watched

A nothing movie with a POS dad, a few great scenes (fish in the car, sister reveal, processing the wife coming home), and a future movie star devouring every moment she’s in.

Heavenly Creatures

1994

★★★★★ Liked Watched

It is not easy to successfully make a fantasy-biopic, but Jackson nails it with his visceral eye and personal tone. The true story of two young best friends whose relationship grows dark is a truly breathtaking breath of fresh air. The performances and script are funny, somber and disturbing, all the while managing to stay warm. Bold and brave, complex and horrifying, difficult and rewarding, Heavenly Creatures is cooler and angstier than a costume drama usually is.

The Castle

1997

★★½ Watched

Here’s a shocker! Haneke makes a frigid cold mystery that is, while intriguing, too ambiguous and dry to really grasp onto. It’s not a disaster; there is some uniqueness to the plotting and some funny-ish characters, but nothing to stave off the boredom. In one scene, the main character is fighting off falling asleep while another character drones on. Sadly, I could relate.
