To Live And Die In LA I really enjoy this William Friedkin thriller. It's an unconventional action film with no real hero as such. Special agent Richard Chance (William Peterson) is a difficult character to warm to. He is volatile and reckless in…

Watched Die Hard Last night. One of the best action films ever made. Like a well oiled machine this works so well. And damn right it's a Christmas film! Just like OHMSS is 😁

Se7en IMO Fincher's best film. He doesn't put a foot wrong in this brilliantly bleak thriller. Love the chemistry between Pitt and Freeman. And of course a wonderful turn from Spacey. No matter how many times I see it, the ending is still d…

Triple bill tonight. Last of the Mohicans, Miami Vice and Collateral Brilliant films. I think Vice is seriously underrated. Just love that scene between Jamie Foxx and Javier Bardem in Collateral.

Has anyone seen his original take on Heat, the TV film, 'LA Takedown'? It's pretty much Heat but cheaply made with low rent actors. Worth a look for curiosity value. You can see why Mann saw the potential in remaking it.
