Smash came out of nowhere. Everyone laughed at the idea of a movie based on a theme park ride & thought it would suck. Depp had other plans.

#140RVW: Harold and Maude (1971)
Finally watched. 70’s movies start so slowly. Less a movie & more a 90 minute Cat Stevens video. But still turned into lovely & unique film.

#140RVW: 12 Monkeys (1995)
The Peoples adapt 60’s French short film into what is possibly 1st blockbuster indie movie. Gilliam accessible for once. Pitt’s 1st triumph.

#140RVW: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
Now we’re talking. Yates takes over and never looks back. Next 4 have consistent tone & look; both on target. Radcliffe steps up big time…

#140RVW: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
1st PG-13 entry more violent but oddly less menacing than #3. Uneven but good, feels like a transition between better films. Newell ill fit?
