Hi, Dark.  Yours: Magic 8/10 Yeah, I watched it recently. I liked it, it gets pretty creepy, and the acting is great. Mine: Armageddon Time 8.5/10 It's James Gray movie, with Anne Hathaway and Anthony Hopkins, about a boy from a Jewish family in 1980, in Brooklyn, going to a public school, getting into trouble because he becomes best friends with a black kid who's always picked on by their teacher and considered basically a little thug. I loved it, I found it really powerful and human. The acting is fantastic. Jeremy Strong, who plays his father, is really great, I think it was snubbed at the Oscars. Anne Hathaway too. Slither 8/10 It's a movie from the 70s, with James Caan, Peter Boyle and Sally Kellerman. It's about a car thief just out of jail, who witnesses the murder of a friend of his from prison, and finds out that he was actually hiding a lot of money, stashed in a secret place, and he joins a couple who were friends with the dead guy and a kind of crazy girl he met on the street, to find it. I liked it, it's really fun, I liked its vibe. James Caan is cool. Loved Sally Kellerman, who plays the crazy girl, and Peter Boyle too. The Expendables 7.5/10 The first one, directed by Sylvester Stallone. I enjoyed it, it's fun, I think it holds up well enough.  Loved Dolph Lundgren in it. There's a fourth one that's supposed to come out, I think. Hey Billy, Armageddon time - know very little about this one other than it’s not as well received generally as the directors usual work. Slither - you’ve piqued my interest in this one. Hadn’t heard of it but it sounds up my alley. the Expendables - I felt it was a wasted opportunity to capitalize on the cast they got. 5/10 Armageddon Time and Two Lovers are my favourite movies from James Gray, I think. Among those I saw, of course. The director of Slither also did The Dream Team with Michael Keaton. Which is pretty fun too.  I actually prefer the first Expendables ot the second. I haven't seen the third one. |

First Time Viewing
The Good Thief (2003; Neil Jordan) - Nick Nolte is phenomenal as a washed-up thief in this remake of a French classic. But I found the movie itself rather messy and hated the cheap-looking digital photography. 5/10 TV Dark Skies (1996) - This X-Files type Alien invasion series was cancelled after only one season. Like so many other shows it had a decent pilot, but soon got bogged down with middling case-of-the-week episodes. 6.5/10 Hey Raven, Just one of yours from the last two weeks: The Godfather Part II (1974; Francis Ford Coppola) 6/10 |

Hey SJG  hope your holiday was fun, seems like you still found plenty of time for movies Thanks, it was but there was a change of plan, i didn't end up going to Scotland for the week. I had a bad feeling about it and i wasn't liking the way it was being organised so i bailed and stayed home for the week riding out to different locations each day on my own. I still had a great time though and it meant i had the same amount of time i normally had each evening to watch something. I now have a fascination with the Derbyshire Dales and the Yorkshire Moors. Both are stunning places to visit. |

Cool. Have you see The Lost City of Z? I want to watch it, I only saw the beginning. Yeah, I liked Van Damme too in it. Yeah lost city of z is pretty good. of his I’ve seen 1. Two Lovers 2. Ad Astra 3. Lost City of Z 5. The Immigrant I didn't like Ad Astra. I thought it was a chore. But I know I'm in a minority. Mine: 1. Two Lovers 2. Armageddon Time 3. Little Odessa (I saw it ages ago, but I remember liking it) 4. The Immigrant 5. The Yards (again, saw it ages ago) 6. We Own the Night 7. Ad Astra I'd say, yeah, that would be it, pretty much. |
