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 FILM VIEWING
The Locket (1946, John Brahm)
Entertaining and well paced film noir that is structured with flashbacks within flashbacks within flashbacks. It is well acted and solidly enough directed but with little visual flair.
6.5-7/10
The Brasher Doubloon (1947, John Brahm)
This typically convoluted Philip Marlowe noir has its moments but is let down by the two leads although a strong turn from Florence Bates (Rebecca) in a supporting role almost elevates it.
5.5/10
REPEAT FILM VIEWING
Unstoppable (2010, Tony Scott)
blu ray
In the second half of his career, director Tony Scott ushered in a cross cutting, multi-camera style that he sometimes over played but with this one he is at the height of his powers and pitched it perfectly.
7.5-8/10
FIRST TIME TV VIEWING
Andor (2022, Season One)
The best written and most cohesive Star Wars show yet. It’s more serious tone and deliberate pacing may not be for everyone but I loved this every day man, grass roots look at the formation of a rebellion. My only complaint is that the worst and least interesting character is the title character.
Great TV
Killer Sally (2022, Docu-series)
Netflix
Three part documentary about the murder of a Mr Olympia contestant. Fairly even handed account that doesn’t outstay it’s welcome.
Solid TV

Sorry to say none of yours this week. Unstoppable is a film I've been meaning to check out though. Mine... not much this week. It's been a busy time for me.
Infernal Affairs (Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, 2002)
The original film that Scorsese remade as The Departed. I enjoyed this version almost as much as Scorsese's. The only reason I prefer the American remake overall as a film is because, as this one is part of a trilogy, there were a few scenes included that were obviously tied to something we'll see in the prequel film (or maybe the third film which is a sequel? Don't quite know yet). My point is The Departed is a more "complete" film, but this was quite good as well. 8/10 The Good Dinosaur (Peter Sohn, 2015) It's very pretty, I mean the environment of the film is stunning. A true work of art. I'm glad of that because it's really the best the film has going for it. It takes a boy and his dog story, turns it into a dinosaur and his human and tries to add elements of a coming of age western (with cattle rustlers and everything). It's such a weird mix and it just doesn't work that well for me. As said it's beautiful to look at and it's not a terrible movie, but it is not one I care for. 4/10 Infernal Affairs II (Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, 2003) Prequel that shows the two moles from the first movie at the start of their careers. I really liked aspects of this one and honestly had it been a standalone I think I would have possibly liked it as much as Infernal Affairs (also the way it uses the handover of Hong Kong to China is rather brilliant). That said, I don't particularly care for the "insights" it gives us into these characters as it make me question choices they made in the first movie. It's not bad, but I think it would have been better as a totally different story. 7/10 |

Definitely prefer The Departed though. 7/10 The Good Dinosaur - I agree it looks beautiful, but I actually enjoyed the movie overall. It's lesser Pixar, but the last act gives it a boost. 7/10

Duh, DeNiro is my win. Not sure how I missed that. I actually think Edward G. Robinson's best acting is by far the scenes where he is drunk. His later stuff is a bit too OTT for me. He is my runner-up after Paul Muni for 1932 though.

Sorry to say none of yours this week. Unstoppable is a film I've been meaning to check out though. Mine... not much this week. It's been a busy time for me. The original film that Scorsese remade as The Departed. I enjoyed this version almost as much as Scorsese's. The only reason I prefer the American remake overall as a film is because, as this one is part of a trilogy, there were a few scenes included that were obviously tied to something we'll see in the prequel film (or maybe the third film which is a sequel? Don't quite know yet). My point is The Departed is a more "complete" film, but this was quite good as well. 8/10 The Good Dinosaur (Peter Sohn, 2015) It's very pretty, I mean the environment of the film is stunning. A true work of art. I'm glad of that because it's really the best the film has going for it. It takes a boy and his dog story, turns it into a dinosaur and his human and tries to add elements of a coming of age western (with cattle rustlers and everything). It's such a weird mix and it just doesn't work that well for me. As said it's beautiful to look at and it's not a terrible movie, but it is not one I care for. 4/10 Infernal Affairs II (Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, 2003) Prequel that shows the two moles from the first movie at the start of their careers. I really liked aspects of this one and honestly had it been a standalone I think I would have possibly liked it as much as Infernal Affairs (also the way it uses the handover of Hong Kong to China is rather brilliant). That said, I don't particularly care for the "insights" it gives us into these characters as it make me question choices they made in the first movie. It's not bad, but I think it would have been better as a totally different story. 7/10 I was confused at first, because you forgot to write the name of the movie. I Haven't gotten around to watching Infernal Affairs, but The Departed is one of my favorite movies. I watched it in the cinema 3 times in one week. I understand why The Good Dinosaur is not very well-liked, but I think it is a fun movie. 7/10
