Three Days Of the Condor  is one of those great '70s films which completely stands up to the test of time. Not only is it still a Big Fat Juicy Hollywood Glamour Flick (starring the one and only Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway), but  Three Days of the Condor  also remains gripping, suspenseful and with issues that are almost entirely relevant and timely to today's political issues. It's hard to believe this film was written almost  35 years ago!   When I see this now, it sounds almost entirely about the Iraq War, Afghanistan and WikiLeas. Amazing work.   Turner:  "Did we have plans to invade the Middle East?" Higgins :  "Look, Turner. Turner:  "Did we have plans?!" Higgins :  "No, absolutely not.  We have games.  That's all.  We play games.   How many men?  What would it take? Is there a cheaper way to destabilize a regime?  That's what we're paid to do." Just check out the last clip of the film.  I love the look of horror

Why isn't there more of an interest in reviving this great, TRULY great fashion-centric 1970s film, Eyes of Laura Mars ?!   It HAS to happen!  And, soon. Is anybody listening?  This surely seems like the perfect time to RE RELEASE this flick now that we're all bored to tears with re-runs of America's Next Top Model, and Project Runway. Everyone knows the seventies cranked out truly great film, but The Eyes Of Laura Mars happens to really stand up to the pop culture test of time: It's sexy as hell, campy, spooky and actually quite contemporary.  (Seriously, someone should pay me for knowing what's on trend.  *hint, hint.  I'm on Linked In and could use that parttime job.) I mean, come on! You have New York City, Modeling, the 70's, Pop Culture, Disco, Fashion, Art, and a really creepy serial murderer...This is still a really watchable film, even if it does take itself way too seriously, it's still very enjoyable viewing.
