Blow Out - 8/10

You can definitely see how the Kennedy assassination was living in the minds of people at the time; roughly 10 years later. Travolta is excellent here. DePalmas writing is very strong. it ranks high ion both their bodies of work.

Licorice Pizza - 8/10

Certainly PTA's most grounded piece. Cinematography is very strong. Its almost like Anderson is allergic to close ups and i really love that. he has the camera take a voyeurs position being just far enough away to allow the audience feel like a spectator into private conversations. several long drawn out ones. the themeing is very strong and uses this story of youth to explore the bartering nature of sexual selection. not his best work by any stretch but a very good film and the male lead will likely have a very leggy future.
