Rewatched 48 Hrs and Eddie Murphy is still electric.
An untested film actor walking into a gritty crime film with total confidence and screen presence and changing the buddy cop movie dynamic in the process. Amazing.

What started as a rewatch of The Big Sleep has ended in a Bogart-Bacall spiral, obsessively binging on the films they starred in together as Hollywood’s greatest onscreen pairing:

Thrilled to have a letter featured in the latest issue of @SightSoundmag . I share my thoughts on the end of @totalfilm as a print edition and the uncertain future of film magazines
What I love about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is how it breaks the mold: instead of bar brawls and corny showdowns, Butch and Sundance spend the film running from trouble. It’s about survival, rather than conflict—turning classic Western tropes on their head in 1969.
New Double Episode! Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid + The Sting
Two all time classic movies and two huge movie stars, but how will a 17 year old react when faced with this much charm and charisma? #RobertRedford#PaulNewman
