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.

CHINATOWN (1974)


The 70's Rivers, Day 19

Chinatown (1974)
Entertaining update of film noir with great combination of director (Roman Polanski), actors (Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway), and screenwriter (Robert Towne). Hey, they even brought back Maltese Falcon director John Huston to play the heavy!

The Polanski River
Like many of the 70’s rivers, the Polanski river’s reservoirs were often susceptible to drought, but still managed to resurface to good effect on occasion.
