NED BEATTY (1937 - 2021) + ALL NEW MOVIE REVIEWS on CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW (6/17/21) by TIM SIKA (Celluloid Dreams The Movie Show) published on 2021-06-18T18:49:56Z 6/17/21 -- THIS WEEK'S CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW: A timely 25th Anniversary interview from the vault. 2001's SPRING FORWARD introduces us to two Parks and Recreation workers: a young recent ex-con, angry at the world but aware of having gotten a second chance and an easygoing older man who is kind, compassionate and whose son is dying. Opposites in many ways, the two form a connection and share conversations about love, karma and the things that make up a life. In the role of the older family man is Ned Beatty, whose long career includes some of the movies' best moments, from his feature debut in DELIVERANCE to memorable roles in NETWORK, SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE, ROSEANNE, CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR and BACK TO SCHOOL, among others. We remember the late character actor, who discusses SPRING FORWARD and, happily, the role that brought happiness to countless kids: Lex Luthor's bumbling henchman, Otis.
