The Plot…
When Natalie Hanson’s frozen dead body is found on the Wind River Indian Reservation after a brutal snow, rookie FBI Agent Jane Banner is sent in to investigate.
The autopsy reveals signs of rape and blunt trauma, but because Natalie died from a pulmonary hemorrhage caused by breathing subzero air, the coroner can not list the cause of death as murder. That means that Agent Banner is unable to get additional support to investigate Natalie’s death.
Agent Banner knows she’s in over her head. She is new to the area. The customs and ways of life of the Northern Arapaho tribe who live on the reservation are alien to her. So Agent Banner turns to Cory Lambert for assistance. Lambert is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Agent who found Natalie’s body. Lambert is an expert tracker and knows the people having been married to a Northern Arapaho woman.
Banner and Lambert begin to backtrack Natalie’s last hours. The will uncover another murder and conspiracy that leaves them outnumbered and on their own.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Wind River was filmed on location with some scenes filmed in real blizzard conditions.
Wind River is the first screenplay that he didn’t write on spec. Both Sicario and Hell or High Water were written on spec.
Wind River is a bit of a slow burn. But the amazing cast, the ultimate reveal of Natalie’s murder and the explosive gun battle after the sudden standoff are <chef’s kiss>.
Wind River (2017) rates 4 of 5 stars.

Richard “Ricky” Roma, George Aaronow, Shelley “The Machine” Levene, and Dave Moss are real estate salesmen in a small office for a company that makes big promises. Despite lies and questionable tactics by all the men, sales are down. Of late only Ricky Roma has been able to close deals.
With one week in the month left, the office manager John Williamson, says that the company is sending in Blake, their top salesman to inspire them. Blake arrives and immediately begins talking. Blake insults and attacks each worker’s salemenship and manhood. Blake says that in one week, the top saleman for the office will win a car. Second place gets a set of steak knives. Third and fourth place winners will be fired.
And he’s serious.
Blake then leaves. Ricky, George, Shelley, and Dave Moss are shocked. Then angry. Each man complains that the leads Williamson gives them are crap. The leads have been repeatedly used. The people on the leads have no money or no interest and have been called on several times. Williamson doesn’t disagree. You get what you get. BUT, the two men show survive the month will next month get new leads. These leads will be for the new Glengarry development.
The Glengarry development is sweet. It almost sells itself. Those leads are worth their weight in gold.
Ricky is in a great position to win the car. George, Shelley and Dave are all in danger of losing their jobs. Each man has reason to do whatever it takes to survive.
And one will.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Al Pacino was nominated for a 1993 Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
Jack Lemmon gives the performance of a lifetime. Same could be said for Alec Baldwin. Kudos also to Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey and Jonathan Pryce who more than hold their own.
Glengarry Glen Ross is a showcase for great acting. Jack Lemmon said Glengarry Glen Ross featured the greatest acting ensemble he had ever been part of. High praise indeed.
Glengarry Glen Ross gets my highest recommendation.
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) rates 5 of 5 stars.

Howard Chaykin’s American Flagg Omnibus!
Man, I can remember the excitement when Howard Chaykin’s American Flagg comic series made its premiere. Now, Chaykin’s run is getting the treatment it deserves and fans want. Here’s the scoop…
A landmark of 1980s comics, American Flagg! is Howard Chaykin’s groundbreaking sci-fi classic about media manipulation, corporate fascism, and one reluctant hero fighting back.
From its 1983 debut, American Flagg! was a breakout success, emerging from a new generation of small publishers, imprints now lost to history. Award-winning, narratively and graphically audacious, and ridiculously influential, its impact on comic book storytelling is still being felt today, in a story comically – and sometimes frighteningly – prescient about the world in which we live.
It got some things wrong, but man, it got a lot more right.
A lot.
This fully remastered 1,064-page collection includes Howard Chaykin’s run on the series’ first 30 issues – more than half of which have never before been collected – plus the American Flagg! Special, all the Flagg! shorts from the years since, and a host of extras, in addition to an all-new 26-page story created for this volume.
Collects American Flagg! Vol. 1 Issues 1-30, American Flagg! Special

Later Rachel tells Kyle that she is ready to leave her husband. Kyle drives Rachel home and waits in the car while she grabs a few things. They don’t realize her husband has returned home.
When Kyle hears a gunshot, he rushes in the house. Rachel is standing over her dead husband with the gun who killed him in her hand. Kyle’s first reaction is they need to call the police and report a self-defense killing. Rachel says, that no one will believe them. Her husband is wealthy and has influential friends.

“Honey Don’t” (2025) directed by Ethan Coen, starring Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Charlie Day and Chris Evans / Z-View
Honey Don’t (2025)
Director: Ethan Coen
Screenplay: Ethan Coen, Tricia Cooke
Stars: Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, Charlie Day, Kristen Connolly, Don Swayze, Christian Antidormi, Billy Eichner, Kinna McInroe and Gabby Beans.
Tagline: She only has two desires, and one of them is justice.
The Plot…
Honey O’Donahue learns that Mia Novotny was found stabbed to death. Honey is a private investigator who Mia had planned to meet the following day. When Mia called Honey she said she couldn’t go to the police and was afraid.
Obviously for good reason.
Honey is determined to find Mia’s killer. The clues will lead to the Four-Way Temple led by Reverend Drew Devlin. Devlin is interested in a lot more than saving souls. Devlin also has another money-making enterprise that could have something to do with Mia’s murder.
Honey won’t rest until she finds Mia’s assassin… even if it kills her.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
I loved the film’s creative use of opening credits.
Margaret Qualley, the star of Honey Don’t, is the daughter of actress Andie MacDowell. They look so much alike they could be twins.
The film earns an “R” rating because it doesn’t shy away during the lesbian sex scenes.
Honey Don’t (2025) rates 3 of 5 stars.

RIP: Chuck Norris
Chuck (born Carlos Ray) Norris died yesterday at the age of 86. No cause of death was given.
Surprisingly, Carlos Ray Norris described himself growing up as a shy, nonathletic and mediocre student. His parents divorced when Carlos was 16. His family suffered financially, since his father didn’t always work and had a drinking problem.
When Carlos was 18 he joined the Air Force. That move changed his life. Carlos was was sent to Osan Air Base, South Korea. That’s where he folks began calling him Chuck (which stuck) and he started learning the martial arts.
Upon his discharge, Chuck Norris opened a chain of martial arts schools and he began entering martial arts competitions. Mr. Norris competed from 1968 to 1974 compiling a 183 win, 10 loss, 2 draw record. Chuck Norris was a six-time undefeated World Professional Middleweight Karate champion. He held multiple black belts in serveral different martial arts forms. It was during this time, that Chuck Norris met Bruce Lee. They became friends and occassionally trained together.
Mr. Norris’ martial arts schools attracted several celebrities including Steve McQueen, Bob Barker, Priscilla Presley, as well as Donny and Marie Osmond.
Chuck Norris’ first acting role was in a small part in the Dean Martin film, The Wrecking Crew. It was his role in Bruce Lee’s Way of the Dragon (titled Return of the Dragon in the US) that brought Chuck Norris to the attention of Hollywood. Chuck Norris became a star, headlining dozens of feature films as well as Walker, Texas Ranger the hit television series that ran for nine seasons and several made-for-tv movies.
Some of the television projects that feature Chuck Norris acting include: Room 222; Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos (5 episodes); Wind in the Wire; Walker, Texas Ranger (196 episodes); Logan’s War: Bound by Honor; Sons of Thunder (4 episodes); Martial Law; The President’s Man; The President’s Man: A Line in the Sand; Walker Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire; The Goldbergs and Hawaii 5-0.
Some feature films that Chuck Norris appeared in include: The Wrecking Crew; The Way of the Dragon; Breaker! Breaker!; Good Guys Wear Black; A Force of One; The Octagon; An Eye for an Eye; Silent Rage; Forced Vengeance; Lone Wolf McQuade; Missing in Action; Missing in Action II: The Beginning; Code of Silence; Invasion USA; The Delta Force; Firewalker; Braddock: Missiing in Action III; Hero and the Terror; Delta Force 2: The Columbian Connection; The Hitman; Sidekicks; Dodgeball: A True Underdog’s Story and The Expendables 2.
I first saw Chuick Norris acting in Way of the Dragon. What an impression he made! I was always excited to see each film when Mr. Norris began starring in action movies. Favorites include A Force of One and The Octagon. Of course I loved when Chuck Norris showed up in Expendables 2. Chuck Norris is one of the few actors that I like as much off screen as on.
Out thoughts and prayers go out to Chuck Norris’ family, friends and fans.
