Here's the first part of a review of my 2025, which involves muh DABs (Die Alone Buddies).
It seems March was heavily populated with visits to revival movie theaters and catching a bunch of ol movies! This activity sits well with me, as it's cheaper than the newer, not so great movies and it gives me a chance to appreciate things about movies I couldn't when I was younger, because watching some of these movies with no life experience and judging them by things I didn't understand just ain't right!
In March We caught, THE GOOD GIRL at Vidiots, introduced by director Mike White,
With a nice Q & A with cast members Zooey Deschanel and John C. Reilly.
Let me tell you, after this viewing I realized how much more Jennifer Aniston's character was an awful person than I had realized on the first viewing so many years ago.
We went to the New Beverly Cinema to see a double feature of SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES and FOUL PLAY
AMERICAN GIGOLO
SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES held up really well (except for a few lines that read REALLY racist now) and made me laugh just as much from my original viewings. FOUL PLAY didn't hold up as well, but Goldie is such a treat! Speaking of Goldie...
Was the artist watching Family Ties while whipping up this poster and accidentally put Tina Yothers' face on Goldie's body?
We also caught THE LAST SEDUCTION at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood.Other old movie adventures include
STREETS OF FIRE
MOMMIE DEAREST at Vidiots, on Mother's Day, no less!
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures
FOOTLOOSE (Vidiots)
and most recently CHOPPING MALL at Killer Fitness in Burbank
(This place is really my kind of joint: Aerobics & pilates in the daytime and horror & sci-fi movies at night!)
As you can see, I have a pretty good roster of DABs, but if you don't and you love old movies, GO!! You just might meet & pick up a few DABs of your own! Either way, if you're alone, it's still worth giving a movie a second chance!
