The Movies

[Travis Reid]

Saw UNHINGED last Friday night and really liked it was very cool to be back in the theater Russell Crowe turned in a great performance as a total BAD GUY!

Crowe is the man - I will make the effort to watch any movie he is in.

Wind River is one of those that I save for watching in winter if I'm snowed in. Also on my list:

The Thing (the 1980s one, obviously)
The Shining - currently I'm reading the book
The Gray
Misery
Hateful 8
The Revenant
Fargo
Rambo First Blood

If anyone has more suggestions of bleak, wintry films, please let me know. I've heard that Jeremiah Johnson might fit, so I'll give that a try.

Just had this list hit my inbox with a few of those on it 10 films about winter | Spectator Life

Just watched Shaft (2019). Some goddamn entertaining motherfuckin' shit.

Just funny as Hell. Seeing that stripper's body glitter on Jackson's goatee nearly rolling on the floor. Seeing Roundtree appear near the end was a nice touch too.

Anyone see The Jesus Rolls, it based on the character Jesus, the bowler from The Big Libowske

Watched about 20 minutes of it. Pretty crappy especially compared to The Big Lebowski.

And with the passing of Sean Connery -- the Man's actor -- I remind you of his finest movie: The Wind and The Lion. Please secure a copy while it is legal.

In a pre-Bond role from 1959, I highly recommend the family movie, Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Sean Connery's talent and charisma were very apparent.

Another suggestion. Outland. The basic plot is High Noon in space. It has some of the look and feel of Alien. Special effects haven't aged that well, but still watchable. Connery gives a great performance.

Yep. Then again, his character in The Untouchables was a tour de force as well.
