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.

KRAMER VS KRAMER (1979)


The 70's Rivers, Day 28

Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
Robert Benton's Best Picture Winner from perhaps Hollywood's best year for movies. Still a strong drama and led by another terrific Dustin Hoffman performance, but should it have really beaten out Apocalypse, Now, Being There or All That Jazz for Best Picture?

The Benton River
The Benton River actually intersected early on with the Penn River during the genesis of the 70's Rivers and culminated with his Best Director prize at the end of the decade.

  1. I liked it but thought it was pretty unrealistic as far as the way most women behave in a custody battle. Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep were superb, as usual.
