Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

Eastwood's Unforgiven opened August 7, 1992. The revisionist anti-western drew widespread critical acclaim and (somewhat surprisingly) also crushed the boxoffice, grossing more than 8x its production cost. The film went on to capture the major awards at the 1993 Oscars - Best Picture and Director for Clint, Best Supporting Actor for the reliably brilliant Gene Hackman, and Best Film Editing for Joel Cox.

Space Cowboys Turns 24

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2024/08/05

OTD 2000: Space Cowboys opens. The film takes a piece of real history -- record-breaking air force flyers were ignored by NASA -- and paints a fascinating "what if": what if decades later, one of those spurned flyboys is the only man capable of fixing a Russian satellite hurtling from orbit, back to Earth?
