Since nobody else had started the thread for this past week yet, I figured I may as well do so. I hope that's alright. As always, comments/ratings/recommendations/film posters are welcome and much appreciated. My viewing this past week: The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017). |

Sweet Smell of Success (1957) Sophisticated story of a powerfully corrupted columnist trying to use his break his sister relationship with a musician. Excellent dialogue. Burt Lancaster excellent as the villain columnist, and Tony Curtis as his press agent carrying out the dirty plan.  Jaws 3-D (1983) Saw this in theater back then in 3-D, and had no memory what was about. This story followed the grown-up Brody kids, with the older brother, played by Dennis Quaid, worked at a sea park. The brothers do attract sharks. Some how a shark slipped into the sea park and mess things up. This was not even close to be good as the 2nd Jaws movie. Campy story, and terrible effects. Nothing suspenseful about it. Even when the woman skiing screamed seeing a shark, it was more comical than horrifying. Should have stopped at the 2nd one.  The Karate Kid Part II (1986) Mostly about the master Miyagi, instead about the disciple Daniel as in the first movie. If you like the first one, you probably will like this one. The mentor-student relationship played by Pat Morita and Ralph Macchio was as charming as the first one. For some reason, Elisabeth Shue did not return for this one, as well the mother character. Though the cheesy factor exploded to a 100 fold, it is beautiful to look at, plus the wonderful Peter Cetera song.  Better Days (2019) This was a Hong Kong representation for the Oscar International film that year. Very tough going in the first half about bullying. The 2nd half turned emotionally powerful. A bit too long, and artsy. The end did get to me, but needed a lots of patience to get there.  |

claudius I think I saw your thread over on Film General. They were busy replying to it. You may have a franchise on your hands now.
