So good in so many incredible films. From ANNIE HALL to REDS to LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR to MANHATTAN MURDER MYSTERY to THE GODFATHER but if u want my fav Diane Keaton perf it's her astonishing work in Alan Parker's heartbreaker SHOOT THE MOON. Seek it out. RIP DK

I've thought a lot about the scene in A Clockwork Orange where Alex finds out that the droogs he used to rampage with are now policemen

My friend Jane Levy is so great in A LITTLE PRAYER opening today in NY/LA. Check it out if you can, it's regional filmmaking at its best, made with love with an exceptional cast

2nd part of my super fun/deep/obsessive talk with Bret Easton Ellis about the incredible film year of 1982, as well as my personal doc FILM GEEK now streaming on HBOMAX.

This was an EXTREMELY fun podcast to do. Bret & I go deep on films of 1982, & talk about my doc FILM GEEK (finally streaming on HBOMAX). Though raised in different parts of the country, we share a near identical cinematic obsessiveness & it was a blast to connect on that deep level

Brian De Palma's DRESSED TO KILL-- one of my favorite movies I saw as teenager (& saw being filmed!) is one of 200 movies featured in my personal doc FILM GEEK -which after runs at American Cinematheque in LA & Film Forum in NY is now streaming on HBOMAX. Perfect July 4th long weekend viewing!

In the late '70s I bought a copy of JAWS for 25 cents at a yard sale. I couldn't have been older than 8 (and may have been younger) so my mother insisted that she read the book first. When I got it back, this is what it looked like. This July 4th, remember to FIGHT CENSORSHIP!

ADOLESCENCE on Netflix is extraordinary. It's jaw-dropping filmmaking of the highest order. If the acting & writing weren't so damn powerful, you'd think that the brilliant one-take episodes were a stunning gimmick, but it all works in delirious concert. Blown the fuck away.

Richard Shepard @saltyshep.bsky.social · 16/03/2025
Steven Soderbergh's BLACK BAG is just great. A fast, funny, extremely smart spy thriller that had me from the opening font. David Koepp's script is tight and surprising, with a great cast and a sleek style throughout. If this is your (black) bag, go see it in a theatre.

Obscure PB of the day: available in the U.S. on Amazon and Vudu/Fandango (for starters) for under ten bucks purchase, Peter Bogdanovich's SQUIRRELS TO THE NUTS. Spread the word, it might just be the last screwball comedy anybody makes, ever!

Finally caught up with Albert Serra's mysterious PACIFICTION (from 2022). It's a thing of beauty-- funny, moody, sad & stunning. Set in Tahiti, It's nearly three hours long, and it moves at a pace all its own. Steamy, languid & beautiful, it's got a Graham Greene/David Lynch vibe thats hard to shake

Richard Shepard @saltyshep.bsky.social · 08/02/2025
Finally caught up with Aaron Schimberg's A DIFFERENT MAN which I could not recommend more highly. It's weird, funny & fully unique. If this was 1998 & you lived in NYC you would have seen it at the Angelika & lived for this film. Today it sort of slips through the cracks-- but don't let it!

Really loved Chris Wilcha's FLIPSIDE that I caught on Criterion channel. It's a unique doc, that starts off one way-- but veers to many unforeseen delights. It's full of nostalgia, and what could have beens, & joy & art & Uncle Floyd & the dreams we refuse to give up on
