Reviews and Comments by Ken Burke
I invite you to join me on a regular basis to see how my responses to current cinematic offerings compare to the critical establishment, which I’ll refer to as either the CCAL (Collective Critics at Large) if they’re in a positive mood or the OCCU (Often Cranky Critics Universe) if they go negative.
Opening Chatter (no spoilers): If you’re not aware of the various winners of the last weekend’s Oscars you’re welcome to visit my previous posting, originally about predictions and preferences, now updated with all who took home trophies that night. However, the biggest event at the broadcast was (eventual Best Actor Oscar winner) Will Smith, seemingly-reprising his role as “The Greatest” from Ali (Michael Mann, 2001) when he walked onto the stage following a joke from Documentary Feature-presenter Chris Rock about Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, bald now so Rock noted he looked forward to seeing her in G.I. Jane 2, in reference to the shaved head of Demi Moore in that long-ago/kick-ass-protagonist-military-movie (Ridley Scott, 1997). However, because Pinkett Smith’s baldness is the result of hair loss due to her alopecia in 2011, which she’s been public about since 2018 (seemingly, Chris wasn’t aware of that [?]), husband Will decided both that the joke was not appropriate and that it was appropriate for him to immediately walk up onto the stage (certain celebrities were able to sit at small tables right up front so he didn’t have far to go), slap Rock hard, with each of them following up with brief obscenities (which were muted during the live broadcast). Rock later declined to file an assault charge, Smith apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees during his Oscar acceptance speech (but not to Rock that night, although he's now done so) along with lots of comments about the need for peace and love in our troubled times which seemed a bit odd for the somewhat-nervous-audience to swallow given his actions earlier that night.
Whether that helped ratings-desperate-ABC in their quest for a bigger (and younger) audience (the only explanation I can find for including a huge production number of megahit, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”—from Animated Feature-winner Encanto [Byron Howard, Jared Bush and Charise Castro Smith, 2021; review in our January 6, 2022 posting] when it wasn’t even one of the Original Song nominees) is hard to say just yet, given the ongoing-discussions about the slap-down as to whether that endeared Smith to those who admired him for sticking up for his wife (even if his choice of how/when to do it raises a lot of questions) so they’ll tune in again next year hoping for more WWE-type-action (maybe Vince McMahon should run nominees-cage-matches) or turned off those appalled at a spontaneous display of personal violence (in front of a worldwide audience) as part of a ceremony which included condemnations of the sufferings of Ukrainians at the hands of the invading Russian military. (More about this Oscars brouhaha far, far below in Other Cinema-Related Stuff.)
So it might take a year of considerations, Oscar telecast policy adjustments, negotiations with future hosts and presenters to even show up in 2023 to see what happens next; I’m sure you’ll find plenty of chatter about this situation in the near future, but how it will play out over time—especially for Chris Rock and Will Smith—is hard to predict at present. At least ABC/Disney can take heart that ratings were way up this year, but in 2021 they were at an all-time-low so even that improvement needs to be seen in context (2022’s still second-lowest of all-time). But, as for the normal content of this blog, commentary on a current movie, I’ve got only 1 to offer you because I was rather busy with some other events last weekend. The Lost City won’t be competing for any awards in 2023, but it was a pleasant enough (goofy) diversion with Sandra Bullock as a bored-then-kidnapped-romance-novelist, her book-cover-model (Channing Tatum) attempting to save her with the help of a soldier-of-fortune (Brad Pitt), yet the odds are slim against the resources of an obsessive-billionaire (Daniel Radcliffe), so if you’re open to paying matinee prices (recommended) it’s mostly fun to watch (in theaters only). Also, in the Short Takes section I’ll offer suggestions for some choices on the Turner Classic Movies channel (but too much extra text for line-justified-layout like you see here [Related Links stuff at each posting’s end is similarly-ragged], at least to be done by this burned-out-BlogSpot-drone—oh, tedious software!) along with my standard dose of some industry-related-trivia.
Here’s the trailer:

If you can abide plot spoilers read on, but this blog’s intended for those who’ve seen the film—or want to save some $ (as well as recognizing those readers like me who aren’t that tech-savvy)—to help any of you who’d like to learn more details yet avoid these all-important plot-reveals I’ll identify any give-away sentences/sentence-clusters with colors plus arrows:
⇒The first and last words will be noted with arrows and red.⇐ OK, now continue on if you prefer.
What Happens: Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock), a former academic (with a specialty then in lost languages), is still mourning the loss of her deceased archeologist husband while now being a bored-but-successful-romance-novelist who struggled to finish her last book, The Lost City of D, has to be pushed onto another book tour by her publicist, Beth Hatten (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), where she’s always joined by “co-star” Alan Caprison (Channing Tatum), the ongoing-cover-model of her books who sees himself as her adventuresome hero, Dash McMahon, becomes the focus of their appearances as women in the audience just want him to tear his shirt off. Following a mishap that cuts short their first appearance, Loretta’s suddenly kidnapped by billionaire Abigail (yes, a guy; one of the many purposely-silly-aspects of this movie) Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe) who’s obsessed with finding the legendary Crown of Fire, so much so he’s bought the remote Atlantic Ocean island where it’s supposed to be somewhere in a lost city, thinks Loretta can help because that current book seems to show an awareness of his coveted treasure so he forces her to fly with him (and his goons) to the island before it might be damaged by its active volcano. Alan’s aware of the kidnapping, works with Beth to track Loretta’s whereabouts via her Smartwatch, recruits soldier-of-fortune Jack Trainer (Brad Pitt) to help (Jack insists Alan stay in their camp, but Alan’s far too pumped to comply).
They do manage to get Loretta out of Fairfax’s compound (yet don’t have time to fully free her from the chair she’s tied to), but Jack’s shot dead by a sniper so it’s up to Loretta and Alan to get through the jungle to the other side of the island to find help. They have many adventures (including totaling their car, Alan’s backside covered in leeches when they go downriver to throw trackers off their trail, climbing a sheer cliff) and get into an argument over her low opinion of him, before reaching a village where Loretta calls Beth to send in a rescue party, but Fairfax’s henchmen show up, grab them again; by now, Loretta has an idea where the tomb with the crown might be, but to get there they have to go under the ready-to-erupt-volcano, scoot through a narrow tunnel; when they arrive at the site, they find the tomb but it’s filled with sand and the skeletons of a queen and her died-before-she-did-husband, the crown simply made of red seashells. ⇒Fairfax leaves Loretta and Alan to die in the tomb, but they escape, are rescued by determined Beth on a Coast Guard-boat where they also capture Fairfax for his crimes. Loretta writes another book after all—about the adventures with Alan/Dash, now the romantic figure in her actual life. Then, in a mid-credits-scene as Loretta and Alan are in a yoga class they find Jack there, with some gibberish about how he didn’t die after all.⇐
So What? In reference to the main title of this posting, while The Lost City has been compared by many to Romancing the Stone (Robert Zemeckis, 1984) from years ago due to the overlaps of the main female character (Kathleen Turner) being a romance novelist who receives a mystery map, has to go to Colombia to save her kidnapped sister-in-law but after her bus crashes in the jungle she meets up with an exotic bird smuggler (Michael Douglas) as they find a precious emerald, have to ward off various violent acts among thieves, then she writes a novel based on her adventures as she stays with her new man (I got all this from the link just above; I haven’t seen this movie since it first came out, so if I’m missing crucial nuances please let me know). However, I was more attuned to ... City's borrowing from Raiders of the Lost Ark (Steven Spielberg, 1981; story by George Lucas and Phillip Kaufman, screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan, won 5 technical Oscars)—probably due to having seen that one a few times since its release (with some clear sense Romancing the Stone borrowed a bit from it back then) with particular attention to scenes where the protagonists are threatened by snakes in a cave-like-structure, a cryptic message is decoded from ancient symbols, the adventuring pair have known each other for a long time leading to squabbles along the way, she’s captured and tied to a chair by the story’s villain (with events prolonging her eventual escape from bondage), every time it seems our protagonists are safe the villain and some array of henchmen show up, the long-lost-treasure in a tomb with a heavy stone cover turns out to be now filled with sand (and bones of the long-ago-lovers in … City), while the final rescue comes in the form of a truly unexpected event.
So, whichever source material resonates best with you regarding what you might find in The Lost City it’s clear you’ve probably seen a lot of this before (although it’s presented in a consistently humorous manner in … City’s script), so the main attraction will likely be if you have interest in the stars of this tale, which I did so it was a pleasure to see all of them again, with Radcliffe getting the best opportunity to go off in directions we’re not used to. Don’t assume you’ll see Bullock in anything else for awhile, though, as she elaborates in an interview (second item connected to this movie far below in Related Links) as she’s decided to put her screen career on hold for an undetermined time to focus on her kids and a restaurant she’s running in her adopted home of Austin, TX (wish she’d been there when I was just to have met her, but when I left in 1977 she was just 13 while I was 30 so I doubt our paths would have crossed at all). By the time she decides to come back, we’ll likely have forgotten about The Lost City, remembering her for more-substantial-fare, including her Best Actress Oscar for The Blind Side (John Lee Hancock, 2009); I imagine we’ll see plenty of Tatum, Radcliffe, and Pitt in the meantime, as their future roles will also help put this one toward the back of the shelf.
Bottom Line Final Comments: In general, the CCAL’s been reasonably supportive of The Lost City with the Rotten Tomatoes reviewers writing 75% positive reviews while those over at Metacritic are less-enthusiastic: a 60% average score (more details on both critics-accumulation-sites in the Related Links section much farther below). Audiences, though, found it to be a useful alternative to all that cash they spent on The Batman—$333.6 million so far in terms of domestic (U.S.-Canada) box-office, $674.5 million globally—finally allowing something else to take the #1 slot, which The Lost City did with $32.7 million domestically, $36.4 million worldwide (probably not helped much in Hayward, CA, as our Friday-late-afternoon-screening brought in about 16 patrons), although how long it can maintain that popularity once the initial curiosity wears off will be interesting to see. If you do have enough interest in this intentionally-silly-tale (with some fun [for me, at least] academic patter from Loretta as she keeps clarifying things for Alan [womanspaining?], including how the inclusion of a comma in a statement verifies its meaning); you’ll have to find it in a theater as it’s not yet available in streaming, although I have a feeling it won’t be long before it will be on Paramount+, but that’s not yet one of the many platforms I’ve giving monthly servitude to, thus I don’t know for sure. Honestly, that’s enough to say about it (and I might well have picked something else to see in my limited time last weekend, although nothing else available looked any more interesting while I do enjoy all of these primary actors), so I’ll move on to my usual review-capper, a Musical Metaphor that somehow (sometimes vaguely, as is the case today) relates to what has been previously presented.
In this situation, given that I think there’s little defense as to how these filmmakers have borrowed liberally from Raiders of the Lost Ark and Romancing the Stone I’m going to use a silly song that also borrows content from a more-respectable-tradition, Cajun chef/humorist Justin Wilson’s version of “The Gator Sleeps Tonight,” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS8HRvui6tk (I can’t find any verification of when this record was released, but it would likely be in the very early 1960s, nor can I find any album it might be on, yet I still remember hearing it on the radio probably when I was in middle-school). It’s a takeoff on the much-more-famous "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the Tokens (from their 1961 album named after the song, written in 1939 by South African Solomon Linda, originally in Zulu, then translated/recorded by a lot of folk singers in the 1950s-‘60s before becoming the Tokens' big radio hit) but transforms the stately lion in the jungles of Africa to an alligator in the swamps of Louisiana, just as the intended-comedy of The Lost City relocates its movie-source-locations of Egypt and Colombia to this isolated Atlantic Ocean island, playing most of what we see for laughs (just as there was also well-placed-humor in Raiders … and Romancing …). Given I’m only providing one review for you this week, I’ll add a little more in the Musical Metaphor area, but this last Metaphor is basically a private joke between me and my wife, Nina, about one of those other activities last weekend which I’ll illustrate with The Bee Gees’ "Night Fever" (from the Saturday Night Fever [John Badham, 1977] soundtrack; scenes from the movie in this music video), but it could also marginally apply to … Lost City in that Loretta and Alan are ultimately “Gettin’ Jiggy wit it,” to bring us back where we started with Will Smith (but you’ll have to look that one up yourself as I’m not promoting him just yet, would still give his Oscar to Denzel Washington—however, if you [and Nina] want to see The Bee Gees in action, here they are to finish us off for the week). 'Bye for now.
SHORT TAKES
Suggestions for TCM cablecasts
At least until the pandemic subsides Two Guys also want to encourage you to consider movies you might be interested in that don’t require subscriptions to Netflix, Amazon Prime, similar Internet platforms (we may well be stuck inside for longer than those 30-day-free-initial-offers), or premium-tier-cable-TV-fees. While there are a good number of video networks offering movies of various sorts (mostly broken up by commercials), one dependable source of fine cinematic programming is Turner Classic Movies (available in lots of basic-cable-packages) so I’ll be offering suggestions of possible choices for you running from Thursday afternoon of the current week (I usually get this blog posted by early Thursday mornings) on through Thursday morning of the following week. All times are for U.S. Pacific zone so if you see something of interest please verify actual show time in your area for the day listed. These recommendations are my particular favorites (no matter when they’re on, although some of those early-day-ones might need to be recorded, watched later), but there’s considerably more to pick from you might like even better; feel free to explore their entire schedule here. You can also click the down arrow at the right of each listing for additional, useful info.
I’ll bet if you checked that entire schedule link just above you’d find other options of interest, but these are the only ones grabbing my attention at present. Please dig in further for other possibilities.
(Yes, I know, I get more carried away with some of these descriptions than I do with others but, trust me, they’re all well worth your consideration, for those various reasons that I’ve noted or elaborated.)
Thursday March 31, 2022
12:15 PM Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (Mike Nichols, 1966) Adapted from Edward Albee’s controversial play (1962), keeps story and most of the (profane) dialogue intact as a professor (Richard Burton) and his wife (Elizabeth Taylor), daughter of this small college’s president, verbally battle in front of house guests (George Segal, Sandy Dennis) as dysfunctionality reigns. Multiple-Oscar-winner: Best Actress (Taylor), Supporting Actress (Dennis), Art Direction, Costume Design, Cinematography (all 3 for B&W films), plus another 8 nominations; bitter to watch, grim masterpiece.
5:00 PM To Kill a Mockingbird (Robert Mulligan, 1962) Beloved adaptation of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel with Gregory Peck as a fair-minded Alabama attorney in the 1930s trying to provide moral lessons for his kids during this economically-difficult (and overtly-racist) era as well as a sound defense for a Black Man wrongly accused of raping a White girl (also in the cast: Robert Duvall as elusive “Boo” Radley). Oscars for Best Actor (Peck), Adapted Screenplay (Horton Foote), Black and White Art Direction, was nominated for 5 more including Best Picture and Director. The American Film Institute named Atticus Finch (Peck) as greatest movie hero of the entire 20th century.
Friday April 1, 2022
12:00 AM Midnight Cowboy (John Schlesinger, 1969) Maybe it’s just because I’m from Texas and recognize a lot about Joe Buck (Jon Voight), but this is to me is among the pantheon of the all-time-bests as wannbe-cowboy Joe leaves the Lone Star State for NYC to be a gigolo but has no luck, finally accepts friendship with hustler Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) trying together to survive in the big city while dreaming of comfortable life in Florida. Won the Oscars for Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay (Waldo Salt), nominated for 4 others including Best Actor for both Voight and Hoffman (who should have shared it in my opinion but lost to “America’s cowboy,” John Wayne for True Grit); distinction of being only X-rated Best Film, though it’s rating was later changed to an R.
1:00 PM Singin’ in the Rain (Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen, 1952) Beloved-musical (a standard for achievement in its genre) starring Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O’Connor, Jean Hagen, and Cyd Charisse about Hollywood’s clumsy transition into sound movies, plus romance between male star and female newcomer of great potential; features the fabulous “Broadway Melody” sequence, a grand MGM spectacular, along with many songs borrowed from a lot of previous MGM musicals.
8:45 PM Day for Night (François Truffaut, 1973) Many say this is the French New Wave director’s finest work but I’d have to consider that with some of his others, especially The 400 Blows (1959),
Jules and Jim (1962), Fahrenheit 451 (1966)—or others anyone might suggest; in this one, though, we have an homage to films and their actors, with Truffaut playing the director of a melodrama with all sorts of problems happening off-screen. It easily won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Saturday April 2, 2022
1:15 AM Night of the Living Dead (George A. Romero, 1968) Another of my periodic suggestions based not so much on cinematic quality but on cult-status, especially because it led to several sequels (all directed by Romero) and a remake of this original (Tom Savini, 1990), as well as inspiring a seemingly-never-ending glut of zombie movies into the present. It’s grotesquely gory at times, maybe the scariest thing I’ve ever seen, but with an even more chilling sociopolitical ending.
2:45 PM The Sting (George Roy Hill, 1973) In the Depression 2 con-men (Paul Newman, Robert Redford) want to avenge the death of a friend by a crime boss so they set up an elaborate scam-horse-race-betting-operation in Chicago to lure the guy in to make a huge bet. Big hit at the 1974 Oscars, winning Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay (David S. Ward), Art Direction, Costume Design, Film Editing, Scoring, and nominated for Best Actor (Redford), Cinematography, Sound.
Wednesday April 6, 2022
12:30 PM Ocean’s Eleven (Lewis Milestone, 1960) Less a great film, more cult icon starring 5 of the Rat Pack: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop. As seen in remakes (main-starring George Clooney or Sandra Bullock at the head of extensive other notables), the plot of this original is to rob major Las Vegas casinos in one extensively-planned fell swoop. Other familiar names in this cast include Angie Dickinson, Cesar Romero, Henry Silva, Norman Fell.
Thursday April 7, 2022
1:00 AM Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Richard Brooks, 1958) Not as bluntly controversial as the stark Tennessee Williams play it’s adapted from, this still burns with passion, hatred, interpersonal misery as alcoholic, depressive Brick’s (Paul Newman) chastised by both his fed-up wife, Maggie “the cat” (Elizabeth Taylor), and dismissive, dying father Big Daddy (Burl Ives). Maybe if you’re from the South (I am) you’ll fully appreciate how true to some lives this more-or-less-fictional-story ultimately is.

As usual for now I’ll close out this section with Joni Mitchell’s "Big Yellow Taxi" (from her 1970 Ladies of the Canyon album)—because “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone”—and a reminder that you can always search streaming/rental/purchase movie options at JustWatch.

You may find the diversity among the various awards competitions and the various critics hard to reconcile at times—not to mention the often-significant-gap between critics’ choices and competitive-award-winners (which pales when they’re compared to the even-more-noticeable-gap between specific award winners and big box-office-grosses you might want to monitor here)—but as that less-than-enthusiastic-patron-of-the-arts, Plato, noted in The Symposium (385-380 BC)—roughly translated, depending on how accurate you wish the actual quote to be—“Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder,” so your choices for success are as valid as any of these others, especially if you offer some rationale for your decisions (unlike any awards voters who blindly fill out ballots, sometimes—damn it!—for films they’ve never seen).

If we did talk, though, you’d easily see how my early-70s-age informs my references, Musical Metaphors, etc. in these reviews because I’m clearly a guy of the later 20th century, not so much the contemporary world. I’ve come to accept my ongoing situation, though, realizing we all (if fate allows) keep getting older, we just have to embrace it, as Joni Mitchell did so well in "The Circle Game," offering sage advice even when she was quite young herself.
By the way, if you’re ever at The Hotel California knock on my door—but you know what the check-out policy is so be prepared to stay for awhile (quite an eternal while, in fact, but maybe while there you’ll get a chance to meet Eagles co-founder Glenn Frey, RIP). Ken
P.S. Just to show that I haven’t fully flushed Texas out of my system here’s an alternative destination for you, Home in a Texas Bar, with Gary P. Nunn and Jerry Jeff Walker (although, as you know, with bar songs there are plenty about people broken down by various tragic circumstances, with maybe the best of the bunch—calls itself “perfect”—being "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" written by Steve Goodman, sung by David Allen Coe). But wherever the rest of my body may be my heart’s always with my longtime-companion/lover/
wife, Nina Kindblad, so here’s our favorite shared song—Neil Young’s "Harvest Moon"—from the performance we saw at the Desert Trip concerts in Indio, CA on October 15, 2016 (as a full moon was rising over the stadium) because “I’m still in love with you,” my dearest, a never-changing-reality even as the moon waxes/wanes over the months/years to come. But, just as we can raunchy at times (in private of course) Neil and his backing band, Promise of the Real, on that same night also did a lengthy, fantastic version of "Cowgirl in the Sand" (19:06) which I’d also like to commit to this blog’s always-ending-tunes; I never get tired of listening to it, then and now (one of my idle dreams is to play guitar even half this well). But, while I’m at it, I’ll also include another of my top favorites, from the night before at Desert Trip, the Rolling Stones’ "Gimme Shelter" (Wow!), a song “just a shot away” in my memory (along with my memory of their great drummer, Charlie Watts, RIP). To finish this cluster of all-time-great-songs I’d like to have played at my wake (as far away from now as possible) here’s one Dylan didn’t play at Desert Trip but it’s great, much beloved by me and Nina: "Visions of Johanna."
