Rewatching SNAKE EYES and Cage's performance is really one for the ages. It's so cartoonish and broad (in the best ways) that as he starts to dial it down, you really feel this guy's moral reckoning. Incredible.

Chantal Akerman so radically challenged my notion of movies that I got my MFA specifically to study with her. It was a mixed bag, but she was special, warts and all. HBD to the most important filmmaker of my life.

Back when I was teaching tweens at N*w Y*rk F*ilm Academy, I would show scenes from Hugo to illustrate visual storytelling. I liked it because it was kid friendly but not childish. Until the day I had to improvise cuz the class roster had Francesca Scorsese on it.

@mrkidger I think it's John Woo loved musicals and tapped into that for his action movies and Travolta is a song and dance man. He has the rhythm and confidence of a musical theater performer, and he does something with that here.

The dude who choked the guy to death on the train is a murderer. You can call him a marine to make his behavior seem justifiable, or make him seem heroic, but he choked and killed a man because he could, and he felt enobled by a city and country that hates unhoused people.
