None of yours, this time.
I love The Last Detail, but I'm not sure about Last Flag Flying.
Mine:
If Beale Street Could Talk 8.5/10
Barry Jenkins's new movie, about a young couple living in Harlem in the 70s, who gets their life together destroyed when he gets falsely accused and arrested for rape. Loved it, maybe it gets a while to get going, but I found it really powerful. Visually, it's really beautiful, the colors...I think it was snubbed at the Oscars.
Love Story 7.5/10
The movie with Ryan O'Neal and Ali McGraw, I had never seen it before, I liked it, it's not as cheesy as people say, IMO. I had no idea Tommy Lee Jones was in the cast too, he plays a college student.
Ryan O'Neal and Ali McGraw were good together. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) 9/10
The original, the one directed by Don Siegel. Classic. It holds up perfectly, IMO.
The Drowning Pool 7/10
It's a movie with Paul Newman, he plays a private detective who gets hired by a former lover of his to find out who's blackmailing her. It's a sequel to Harper actually, I saw that, I liked it more, I thought this one was O.K. too though. Paul Newman was cool in the role.
keen on Beale street, opens here in March
invasion on the bodysnatchers - I have this neck and neck with the 70s remake, great stuff 7.5-8
drowning pool - wasn’t feeling it, didn’t finish, Newman is always great though
Have you seen Harper? I liked it more, it has a more pulpy vibe, IMO. Lauren Bacall is also in it.
