When I think of Sydney Pollack, weirdly, I think about his acting, in films like Eyes Wide Shut and Michael Clayton. Obviously, he directed films such as Tootsie, Out of Africa, and They Shoot Horses, Don't They? He passed away Monday at 73.
Due to a recent Federal Trade Commission decision, I think it best to reveal that, yes, I receive free admission to most of the films that I review. This is the standard practice among film reviewers, and it does not affect my opinion. Unless noted otherwise, you should assume that I received free admission. I have never been on a junket and I do not plan to start. Although in the future, it is possible that I might decide to start interviewing actors, directors, etc.
