Oh, will it be on Netflix release soon even in the US? I had heard about the international distribution deal. I'll still probably go to theater to see it. I don't mind putting money towards auteur-driven studio projects when I think they look int…

Last night I saw ODD MAN OUT (1947), directed by Carol Reed. It was excellent. Tense and atmospheric. Has a tiny bit of a Dubliners quality about it, the manner it weaves through a city full of characters, though it is set in Northern Ireland. I mig…

Damn. I was just yesterday listening to a Bond podcast where they were discussing how he was still with us. What a long, rewarding life and career. Certainly among the best directors the series has had.

QOS and QOS. Confidently in the case of TWINE; GE makes it a little interesting.

With the discussion the other day about SAVING PRIVATE RYAN I decided to finally watch the other great war picture of 1998. SMALL SOLDIERS "All quiet on the western front...yard."

I'd almost be happy to hear anyone get the job at this point. Everyone rumored so far sounds to me better suited to start off the next era, but that might just be because the last two were Mendes/Craig, and I'm not sure where they go after him for a…

The old cliche: Lincoln and Washington. Granted when you look into any human being, the myths propping them up are bound to collapse to some extent. But there's a reason that legend elevates these two more than the rest, the effects of their service…

@Creasy47 I'm planning on doing one soonish as well, and have been tossing around ideas re: the order. To give some method to the madness, I considered doing it by age of Bond actor. @Birdleson's decade method is very appealing, though. I've also…

@Gerard I saw a production of The Mikado about five years back. One of my favorite performances I've seen live. I thought it was hilarious.

A FISH CALLED WANDA (1988) Always enjoy this one. An all-time great comedy. Really had a good time watching Kevin Kline this go around. Cleese's script is just so well crafted. Twenty minutes into the film you feel like you've known the character…
