    Bound is a great film, but it was so weird when the film ended and "Wachowski Brothers" came onto the screen. Anyway, watch Bound.

    watched Homeward Bound with my daughter last night. Three thoughts: 1. Absolutely holds up. 2. No one will ever make a movie like this again, you could never convince a studio not to just do shitty cgi for the animals. 3. Jean Smart???

    Watching Homeward Bound with the grandson and I have to say, the complete lack of CG talking animals is really refreshing. The movie is fun and funny with just voice over as the animals do their things.

    I appreciate that Criterion updated the film print credits on BOUND so it now reads “written and directed by The Wachowskis” I just compared it to the old Olive Films blu-ray which had the original misgendered credit.

    #Edwards1000SixtiesMovies 346/1000: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY It was not until recently that I knew that this Disney family film was remade 30 years after under the title "Homeward Bound." The beauty of the original film lies in its cinematography of the wilderness---lush, picturesque and colorful.

    I'll do another one that's a little more unknown. In Bound, the 1996 lesbian neo-noir film by the Wachowskis Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly were nervous about the sex scenes. Apparently the two drank Tequila like their characters did to prepare for the shoot.
