Chain Reaction, The (Ian Barry, 1980) aka Nuclear Run "Movies are the memories of our lifetime." Martin Scorsese Except when they're not. I've loved movies all my life. And of all the things that make film the art form that speaks to me with the most eloquence, my favorite is its magical ability to feed dreams and create memories. Indeed, the miracle of making lasting memories is so much a part of what I associate with movies that I seldom consider when it's not. Which is most of the time. Not every movie can, nor needs to be, the kind of movie we never forget. But I'm always amazed how some films, through no effort on my part, practically fuse themselves to my psyche on contact, while others slide off like Teflon. Which brings me to the subject of this post. Saying To Movies I Forgot I Ever Saw (Something tells me I'm not the only one who doesn't remember seeing this 1987 comedy starring Shelley Long and Corbin Bernsen) A recent spate of hysterical weather here in L.A. left me with plenty of time and zero excuses not to give my apartment a thorough cleaning. While clearing out a particularly Fibber McGee-ish closet, I came upon a box crammed with old movie reviews I'd written between the years 1976 to 1990. (Since my teens, I'd gotten into the habit of taking a pen and pad with me to the movies, scribbling notes in the dark to be later transposed into reviews written for my eyes only.) The discovery of this stack of files, containing roughly some 600 typed (my Wite-out® addiction was out of control) and handwritten reviews, mercifully put an end to cleaning for the day as I immersed myself in reading about all the films I' Australian actress (born 1972) Claudia Karvan OAM Karvan at Woman of Style Awards, Red Carpet, May 2015 Sydney, Australia Claudia KarvanOAM (born 19 May 1972) is an Australian actress and producer.
