There are so many Diane Keaton performances to remember, but a lot of people haven't seen Reds, and A) my God, see it, it is a masterpiece and B) her performance as Louise Bryant is one of the bravest, toughest, least sympathy-courting pieces of work by an American actress in the last 50 years.

I always go back to this scene. Not because Diane Keaton portrays her fear so vividly but because her understated reaction to seeing Warren Beatty is able to say more about love and closeness, about feeling relaxed and secure in somone's presence, than probably any other in movie history

I haven't watched since high school but seem to recall thinking Randy Quaid was MVP. 😬

One good rule for a veteran writer: Break your own rules ruthlessly. I don't do profiles and rarely write about theater, so when T asked me to do a deep dive into the life & work of David Henry Hwang, naturally I said yes! Huge thanks to DHH for his time and openness. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/t...

A wonderful Best Picture winner!

This one is, by far, my favorite film in the franchise!

Every Friday in October I'm discussing a horror film with a disabled character in it. And this week I'm unpaywalling the post I wrote about Mark and how he's a pretty damn good example of representation in Friday the 13th Part 2.
