Last Movie You Watched

[GioCar]

Last evening at the cinema with friends:



By the unknown (to me) Swedish director Ruben Östlund.

Amazing. A food-for-thought film like no other that I've seen in recent years.

Watched The Wrong Man again last night.  Hitchcock's maxim was: Always make the audience suffer as much as possible.  The suffering is a bit more acute in this one, knowing that it is based on the actual hellish experience of real people.  This is only the second time I've endured this one    so this was the first time I appreciated Herrmann's exquisitely delicate scoring in (e.g.) the scenes where Manny is losing Rose.

I shall watch this one from time to time, to remind myself that police cruelty (as they marched Manny into shop after shop on a "perp walk," and when full bail is demanded of the innocent man, because the charge was armed robbery) is not completely foreign to this great land of ours.

22 Bullets....





I enjoyed this one.

[Karl Henning]

So, yes, I finished watching (with commentary, this time) The Fugitive (which, I suppose, followed naturally from The Wrong Man a few days ago), and Lord help me, I had to go back and watch Back to the Future again.  Good fun.  Does Christopher Lloyd play it over the top?  Sure he does, and wouldn't the movie fall flat, if he didn't.

Some films above that I enjoy also and have on blu-ray - the other night I streamed Going In Style - was on my 'to see' list and just two bucks on Amazon; reviews were mixed, but I'd agree w/ the rating, i.e. would do 3*/5* - BUT, Christopher Lloyd was in the film and is still quite active in the film industry as he approaches 80 years of age - check HERE - Dave

Split.  Not bad for a low-budget quasi-sequel from M. Night Shyamalan.  It recycles some slasher flick clichés and James McAvoy is up for his, um, multiple roles.  I'll probably watch the upcoming sequel.

Guess I wont be watching this anytime soon

No surprise:  Back to the Future II last night.

I am Wrath....



There is nothing remotely new in this cliched revenge type film.

I guess J.T. has found his schtick.

J.T. funded and starred in one of the worst movies of ( at least ) the last twenty years. He should be grateful for still having any kind of career whatsoever...

Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary
2016 ‧ Biography/Music ‧ 1h 39m

Set against the social, political & cultural landscape of the time, Chasing Trane brings saxophone great John Coltrane to life, as a man & an artist. The film is the definitive look at the boundary-shattering musician & composer whose influence continues to resonate around the world.

Is it fair to say, that he got a second chance thanks to Tarantino believing in him?

Thread Duty:  No surprise again-- Back to the Future Pt III

That's an accurate statement if you're referring to Pulp Fiction triggering his comeback in the '90's. Battlefield Earth came out in 2000, and I'm pretty sure Tarantino hasn't worked with J.T.since then.

Long live The Bride,

James Stewart Westerns from the early 1950s w/ Anthony Mann - last few nights (and several to go), I've been watching the westerns shown below (made from 1950 to 1955) w/ James Stewart and directed by Mann with excellent character supporting actors - Winchester 73 is B&W and often felt to be the best; the rest are in technicolor w/ great outdoor scenery shots; the first three are in the old 1.33 aspect ratio while the last two are widescreen.  I own 2 on DVD and 3 on DVD-R, the latter from the TCM channel - to date, NONE have been released as restored blu-ray discs, which if done well would produce some excellent looking films.    Dave
