I first heard of this movie from the Phil Hartman sketch on Saturday Night Live. So even when I saw it, I knew the twist. Watching Soylent Green again as an adult, it’s really all built around Heston investigating the...
This was my first time seeing The Outfit, after reading about it in Cinema Speculation. It is by far the best Parker movie and I have seen most of those. Named Macklin (Robert Duvall), he follows the reluctant hero archetype...
