📺 Carlito’s Way (1993) | Universal Pictures

Watched Carlito's Way (1993) from Universal Pictures
Directed by Brian De Palma. With Al Pacino, Sean Penn, Penelope Ann Miller, John Leguizamo. A Puerto Rican former convict, just released from prison, pledges to stay away from drugs and violence despite the pressure around him and lead on to a better life outside of N.Y.C.
Watched most of this last night and finished the last act today. Somehow I’d missed this while I was in college, so I thought I’d come back and revisit it after watching Scarface relatively recently. In general it’s essentially Scarface all over again. Seems so out of place watching Pacino play a Puerto Rican, but somehow it happened. There’s such a sense of fatalism here and the main character even predicts his downfall and roughly how its going to happen. Penelope Ann Miller has some great nuance here that I don’t think she was able to show in other performances. Definitely smacks of late 80’s/early 90’s overindulgence for movies of this type.

Not sure I’d spend the time to watch this again…

When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, the Kingsman's journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the United States. These two elite secret organizations must band together to defeat a common enemy.
This took forever to watch. I think I saw it in 20 minute increments over about 5 different days over the last 3 months. Vaguely entertaining action sequences, but otherwise not very redeeming.

Watched "Gilmore Girls" Teach Me Tonight from Netflix
Directed by Steven Robman. With Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Melissa McCarthy, Keiko Agena. Luke asks Rory to tutor Jess who is close to failing, but Jess uses it to get closer to Rory and when they get into a car accident, Lorelai takes it out on Luke for taking Jess in to begin with. Lorelai takes over the movie selection for the town square movie night, but in the end realizes why Taylor chooses the same movie every year and Kirk uses the night to show of his work.
I have to think that the scene (April 30, 2002) from Kirk’s movie where Kirk dances for Jon Polito and family heavily influenced the dancing scene from Napoleon Dynamite (2004).

Directed by James Burrows. With Marisa Tomei, Will Ferrell, Woody Harrelson, Ellie Kemper. A one-night-only sitcom special hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and Norman Lear featuring live performances of two of Lear's most popular shows, 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons'.
