Runaway Train (1985). Two escaped convicts and a female railway worker find themselves trapped on a speeding train with no brakes and nobody driving.

I've got an enormous soft spot for genre mash-up films, and this one - part prison escape, part man vs nature thriller, part, well, runaway train thriller - is one for the ages. Harrowing, funny, but also surprisingly rich as a character study, this one is just way better than it feels it should be. 8/10.

288 - Up the Sandbox (w/ Jordan Hoffman) (70s Spectacular - 1972)

The 70s Spectacular is dancing as fast as it can! And we're spinning right into 1972 with one of the decade's biggest stars, the one and only Barbra Streisand, and joining us is one of her superfans, writer Jordan Hoffman. This year saw the first films of First Artists, a production company that intended to give more power to stars to create their passion projects the studios wouldn't touch. Streisand's first effort with the company was Up the Sandbox, a timely satire that cast the legend as a housewife faced with a third pregnancy, who retreats into her wild and often politically charged fantasies. Indifference from audiences and the industry made this one of Streisand's rare flops.

This episode, we talk about our love for Barbra and this legendary Oscar year that pit Cabaret against The Godfather. We also talk about the film's bizarre fantasy sequences, how it exists as a product of a specific moment in time, and cinematographer Gordon Willis' shockingly slim Oscar history.

Topics also include Paul Zindel books, Harry And Walter Go To New York, and Shelley Winters in The Poseidon Adventure.

es geht hier in dieser rezension um cover und da fragt man sich was soll das... warum muss man ein solches format wählen? warum dieser zwang zur gleichheit zu anderen titeln? es ist verständlich für die seite, die man im bücherregel sieht, doch das cover??? absolut unattraktiv mit wirkung von sachbuch und das braucht man nicht, wenn man nach einem roman sucht... es wird hier in diesem kleinen kästen auf dem cover das psychedelische dargestellt, was in diesem roman deutlich vorherrscht, doch so eingekesselt... und dann noch einmal in gold und klein unten drunter... warum? die gestalter des covers waren mit sicherheit von vorgaben des verlages unterdrückt, ansonsten wäre nicht so etwas für diesen roman herausgekommen! oder denkt sich der verlag, dass er mit dem verkleinerten goldenem aufdruck des covers punkten kann?

Un film original, touchant et mélancolique, au ton décalé mais qui utilise l’humour pour traiter de choses très sérieuses, comme le vivre ensemble, la tolérance et la solidarité. L’étendard de la laïcité en danger ! #ledernierdesjuifs

Le dernier des juifs réalisé par Noé Debré avec Michael Zindel, Agnès Jaoui,... 😍

"Le dernier des Juifs", le film qui percute l’actualité, peut-on lire dans le Monde. Pour ce qui est de l'actualité, alors que l’État hébreu fait l’objet de plusieurs plaintes pour crime de guerre, crime contre l’humanité, et même de génocide déposée par l’Afrique du Sud auprès de la Cour internationale de Justice, à La Haye, que l'hebdomadaire Courrier International parle « d’anéantissement d’un peuple », le titre qui résonnerait véritablement avec l’actualité, serait plutôt Le dernier des palestiniens.

What Makes a Reader?

Check out this article on thoughts about what creates a reader and how it can impact the personality and career choices of children.

A recent conversation with three children ages seven, eight, and 16 made me wonder what makes some people like reading when others don’t. I used to think it was parental influence, but that doesn’t hold true because kids from the same family can have different preferences. I considered whether children who struggled in school with the language arts became non-readers and those who grasped those…
