Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)

This is where I watched Kramer vs. Kramer with Sade. We watched a movie about NY in NY. That's so meta, you guys.

This is what we watched on the screen. Fact: French Toast is not the greatest breakfast.

This is my favorite scene in the movie, even though Dustin Hoffman calls his son "A little shit." Problems!

After watching this movie for the third time, and having seen Marathon Man last week, I decided that Dustin Hoffman is my #1 favorite actor. Maybe. Kramer vs. Kramer also stars my #1 favorite actress who share's my birthday [no big deal]. Bascially, this is the best movie. It's incredibly depressing and tense, and the acting is supreme, but none of this is breaking news. You all know this. Sorry this review is so dull.

Marathon Man (1976)

OH MY GOD. This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Not only is Dustin Hoffman looking like a babe in jogging shorts for most of it, but his character is tearin' shit up too. Plus he's doing his dissertation, so no big deal. All I can say is that I was on the edge of my seat from the first five minutes, and even though it's a tad long [over 2 hours], I didn't feel antsy once. One of my friend's friends tests a movie's quality based on how sore her bum is by the end, or rather, if she notices how sore her bum is. Well, suffice it to say that I forgot I even had a bum. This movie is close to perfect -- splendid acting from Dustin, Roy Scheider, William Devane [who looks just like my grandpa], and of course Mr. Dr. Sir. Laurence Olivier as the Nazi Szell [pronounced Zell]. In all the best movies, the Nazis have last names similar to mine. Just sayin'.

Besides having a gripping, coherent plot, fantastic acting, and New York as its setting, Marathon Man is shot beautifully. I gasped [well, in my head] repeatedly during the movie, thinking just how gorgeous that baby carriage looked after that explosion, or how rad that lighted fountain in that office park was. Nice job, John Schlesinger. Make another movie with Dustin already [I like to imagine they are best friends.]

I just have one question, and I think you all know what it is: Is it safe?
