The Nancy Allen era of movies was something special. Blow Out and Dressed to Kill will always be in my Top 10 of greatest suspense movies.

One of my favorite movie palaces! Sad it didn’t survive.

Forty years ago, at the corner of Dearborn and Randolph in The Loop, the head-banging horror film Trick or Treat (1986) played at the United Artists Theatre. Unfortunately, the theater's iconic marquee would be shut off for good about a year later.

True Romance is one of the only times Quentin Tarantino wrote a film but didn’t direct it. The result? A masterful film directed by Tony Scott. Who’s to say that won’t be the case again in a few weeks? Tarantino put the keys in David Fincher’s hands this time, a director equally as reliable as the late, great Tony Scott. I’m excited.

Brian De Palma’s execution of tension in the 1976 classic CARRIE is unmatched. By pushing this scene to its absolute emotional peak, he leaves the audience completely hooked for the impending chaos. 🎞️

Tom Skerritt as the monster of the week, a satanic politician, with Darren McGavin in a 1974 episode of KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER. RIP Tom Skerritt
