And there I was thinking that it was just a coincidence

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 VIEWINGThe Life of David Gale (Alan Parker) Netflix
Kevin Spacey plays a man who campaigns against capital punishment that is accused of murdering a fellow activist and is sent to death row. This was Alan Parker's final film and one of his better ones, solid stuff. 6.5/10 Grand Slam (1967, Giuliano Montaldo)
At the suggestion of a retired professor (Edward G. Robinson) a motley group of criminals plans the robbery of a Brazilian diamond company but it must contend with a new alarm system and the mutual distrust among its members. This is a fun little heist caper film with great international locations, the ending is a bit convoluted and lets it down a bit. 6.5/10 Armored Car Robbery (1950, Richard Fleischer)
Short but solid enough Film Noir about an armored car robbery. 6/10REPEAT MOVIE VIEWING Night Moves (1975, Arthur Penn) blu ray
Neo noir that follows detective Harry Moseby (Gene Hackman) on a case to find an actress's daughter played by a young Melanie Griffith. The film has some weird rhythms but is pretty compelling on all sorts of levels. 7/10 WEEKLY FILM AWARDS
BEST FILM: Night Moves BEST ACTOR: Gene Hackman - Night Moves BEST ACTRESS: Kate Winslet - The Life of David Gale BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Harris Yulin - Night Moves BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Janet Leigh - Grand Slam BEST EDITING: Dede Allen, Stephen A. Rotter - Night Moves BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY: Bruce Surtees - Night Moves BEST SCORE: Ennio Morricone - Grand Slam BEST SCRIPT: Charles Randolph - The Life of David Gale BEST DIRECTOR: Arthur Penn - Night Moves 10/10 - Perfection (or as close to it as possible) 09/10 - An Excellent film 08/10 - A VERY Good film 07/10 - A Good film 06/10 - A Solid film 05/10 - An Average film 04/10 - Below Average film 03/10 - A mostly bad film 02/10 - A mostly terrible film 01/10 - Awful through and through 00/10 - Not only awful but offensive too Hi, Dark. I'm here. Yours: The Life of David Gale 4/10 I didn't like it actually, I found it a bit ridiculous in the end. But I haven't seen it in ages. Armored Car Robbery 7.5/10 I remember enjoying it. Night Moves 9/10 Loved it. Gene Hackman is fantastic. Loved the ending too. Mine: Zeros and Ones 6/10 It's an Abel Ferrara movie, with Ethan Hawke. It's about an American soldier in Rome, on a mission to investigate on a possible attack on the Vatican his twin brother is involved with. But it's very experimental, so yeah, it's kind of about that, but it's much more insane. Definitely not for everybody. I thought it was so-so, I really didn't like the first half or so, but then I started to get more into it. Ethan Hawke is good though. I liked the score too. Havana 8/10 It's Sydney Pollack movie, with Robert Redford, it's about an American gambler in Cuba in the 50s, right before the revolution. He falls for a wealthy woman who's actually part of the revolutionary movement and married to one of their leaders. I like it, it holds up for me, it's very old school. I liked Lena Olin, she plays the woman. The Osterman Weekend 7.5/10 It's Sam Peckinpah movie, with Rutger Hauer and John Hurt, it's about a tv anchor who gets contacted by the CIA, claiming three friends of his are actually KGB agents, and he has to help unmask them during the course of a weekend getaway. I enjoyed it, I read there were problems during the shooting, and that Sam Peckinpah was quite ill. You can kind of tell, because the editing feels weird at times, and I'm not sure part of it makes sense actually, but still... It has a pulp vibe, I liked that. The cast is good, there's Dennis Hopper, Burt Lancaster too... Tromperie 6/10 It's a French movie with Lea Seydoux. It's from a Philip Roth book, it's about a married American writer in London, in the 80s, and 4 of his former lovers. Most of all, an English actress, who's married too. I thouoght it was so-so, I found it a bit dull. I liked some parts though. Loved Lea Seydoux, she plays the actress. Hey Billy, none of yours this week although I’ve seen the beginning of the Osterman Weekend but didn’t finish for some reason. Havana has been on my watchlist for a while.

You should like Havana, I think. As for The Osterman Weekend, I guess it would depend if you can accept that the plan of one of the villains really doesn't make much sense, although I guess it could be explained by the fact that he became kind of deranged. I enjoyed it anyway.
