About Me

My Photo
I am a short story writer hoping to gain inspiration from the greatest films of all-time. I am also seeking motivation to watch these films, many of which I’ve put off seeing for years. I like to think I have achieved both of these goals, at least to a degree. I’m not a movie critic, though I do let an opinion slip out on occasion. I’m just trying to write where my motivation takes me. I’ll continue with it as long as the desire remains strong. The book I am using for my main guidance is "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." I have the 5th edition, but there are newer editions out there.

ALL THAT JAZZ (1979)


The 70's Rivers, Day 22

All That Jazz (1979)
Still one of my favorite movies of the 70’s. It’s a brutal self-portrait from director Bob Fosse told in a totally creative fashion.

The Fosse River
One of the most exciting of the 70’s rivers. Where some of the other waterways dried up, the Fosse River seemed to just disappear forever when at its peak.

  1. I agree. I like how bold it is. Fosse puts his demons on display and lets everyone see them. It takes a particular brand of guts to be that open.
