Welcome back to another week of the BEST & WORST edition of 'what movies did you see last week?' thread. For those who haven't been part of it before, basically your host (me) posts my weekly movies and you can comment on those and list your movie for the same time frame. I will get back to you on yours and you can talk to other users here about their films. It's a great place to talk about film.
FIRST TIME MOVIE VIEWING
Old Man & the Gun (2018, David Lowery)
Based on the true story of Forrest Tucker (Robert Redford) and his audacious escape from San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public.
Its a charming enough little film that does not outstay its welcome.
6/10
REPEAT MOVIE VIEWING
None this week...
REPEAT TV VIEWING
Big Little Lies (2017, Season One)
This star studded cast follows the apparently perfect lives of three mothers of first graders which unravel to the point of murder.
I decided to rewatch this as the second season is coming out soon.

Hadn’t seen anything from yours.
Mine:
First Time Viewings:
Invictus (2009) - DVD
Watched it at school for an assignment. Dare I say it might be the first Clint Eastwood movie I ever saw. Morgan Freeman was fantastic casting for Nelson Mandela.
7/10
Repeat Viewings:
Tremors 2: Aftershocks (1996) - DVD
Continuing my Tremors marathon as I bought the 6-film collection, I still enjoy this sequel but not to the extent of the first one. Wished Bacon would have came back.
7/10
Psycho (1960) - DVD
A horror classic. What needs to be said?
8.5/10

Neither of yours.
My Week:
Sweet Smell of Success(1957)RV TCM. Burt Lancaster shines as a cold hearted newspaper columnist. Tony Curtis, not normally one of my favorites, is also excellent as a sleazy press agent. 8/10.
Daughter of Dr. Jekyll(1957)FTV YT. Nobody shines in this horror/mystery. Does have some nice settings though. 4/10.
Girltrash: All Night Long(2014)FTV Hoopla. Cute girls doing cute lesbian stuff, no nudity. Kind of like The L-Word light. 6/10.
Valley of the Dragons(1961)RV MeTV. Another Saturday night spent with Svengoolie. 4/10.

Slow week.  Yours: Old Man & the Gun 8/10 I enjoyed it, loved the atmosphere and vibe. Robert Redford was good, Casey Affleck too.  Mine: Capharnaum 8.5/10 It's Nadine Labaki new movie, about a kid living in a poor Beirut neighbourhood, who's arrested for stabbing a man and asks the judge to sue his parents for having had him. Loved it, it's very sad, pretty intense, over the top too, but it kind of reminded me of neorealism movies, I liked that. The little kid who plays the lead character is fantastic. Let's Talk About Women 8/10 It's an Italian film from the 60s, an anthology movie, Ettore Scola is the director. Vittorio Gassman plays nine different characters, it's a comedy about the relationship between men and women. I liked some episodes more than others, but I thought it was pretty fun. Vittorio Gassman was good. Tootsie 9/10 Classic, so funny, I loved it more than I remembered (I don't remember if I had seen it before, or just some parts actually... ). The cast is incredible, Dustin Hoffman is really great, Bill Murray too, Jessica Lange...

First Viewings...
-Sixteen Candles (1984) (Apr 15th 2019) - 6/10 (while this is pretty much my 1st viewing I might have seen a tiny bit or piece of this on TV years ago)
Re-watches...
-The Color of Money (1986) (Apr 15th 2019) - 8/10 (the sequel to The Hustler (1961) (9/10) which is the role Paul Newman was born for. it's my #1 Scorsese movie.)
-Crank (2006) (Apr 16th 2019) - 6.5-7/10 (was a 7.5-8/10. still, one of the better action types of movies. but surprisingly the sequel was crap as I gave that a 4/10 (below average) as I did not expect the sequel to be as weak as it was)
-Priceless (2006) (Apr 18th 2019) - 7/10 (my 3rd viewing and it held steady. there are not many non-English language movies I score a 7 or higher but this is one of the few. this much is much better than another movie with the same actress, which seems to be popular on IMDb... Amelie (2001)(2/10) ; that's boring)
-The Passion of the Christ (2004) (Apr 19th 2019) - 7/10 (was a 6.5-7/10 as it went back up a little this time around. basically this along with The Song of Bernadette (1943) are the only religious themed movies that stand out for me. but if I had to name a 3rd option, I would probably go with... The Ten Commandments (1956) (6/10))
-Anon (2018) (Apr 20th 2019) - 5/10 (was a 6/10 on my initial viewing but does not hold up overall. but this director has some quality movies for me... Lord of War/Gattaca etc. I like 5 out of 7 of this directors movies as for someone who's not a big name director, he's one of my favorites.)
-The Departed (2006) (Apr 21st 2019) - 7.5-8/10 (on my previous viewing it went from a 10/10 to a 7/10 but went back up to a 7.5-8/10 this time around)
p.s. in general for me... 5/10 or less = Thumbs Down. 6/10 or higher = Thumbs Up.
------------------------------
OP's...
-Old Man & the Gun (2018) - NS (but I might give it a shot eventually)
