This month's director is Steven Spielberg.
I've seen most of his films.
All the classics like Jaws, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones,
Schindler's List, E.T. and etc.
Out of all his films that have been released,
I haven't seen six of them.
This month, I will see five out of those six.
#1:
The Sugarland Express
This is Spielberg's first theatrical feature film.
Based on a true story in Texas.
This reminded me a lot of "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry"
but with a more tragic results.
It's kind of stupid that this guy escaped jail knowing
that he only had four months left on his sentence.
He should of put his foot down.
Now, he must suffer the consequences.
While I did like some of the shots on the road,
most of the time, it felt like the story was dragging
on too much. In real life, this chase would of ended quick.
My favorite moment: when all the troopers pulled over
to gas up.
Ridiculous moment: They had to deliver a portable potty
for Lou-Jean to go to the bathroom in the middle of the chase.
Would make a decent triple Spielberg feature with
Duel and Catch Me If You Can.
This is alright for a flick made in 1974
from the same guy who made Jaws right after.
Nothing to be excited about.
