Last Non Western You Watched

Last night I watched for the umteenth time, Clint Eastwood as Gunny-Seergeant Highway in: "Heartbreak Ridge."

The Long Voyage Home

The Dirty Dozen w/ Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Ernest Borgnine, George Kennedy, John Cassevettes, Telly Savalas, Richard Jaeckel and Robert Ryan.

I NEVER tire of that fine film as well.

The Blood Alley

Hi

I watched Rommel Desert Fox last night with James Mason playing Rommel.

It was directed by Henry Hathaway and also had in the cast Richard boone, Sir cedric Hardwicke and George Macready. In the supporting cast were American actors that you would normally see playing cavalry troopers, certainly I recognised the blonde soldier from the TV series Boots and Saddles of the fifties, and another famous supporting player featured as Doolittles mate in My Fair Lady.

It is a fact that when these films were made in black and white so quickly after the ending of the Second World War how much action footage could be used. If you added it up probably threequarters of the film was taken up with original action footage.

I watched "The Incredibles" - a delightful animated feature

Recently, Deep Discount DVD had a boxed-set sale where you could get two boxed sets for the price of one. I ordered seasons 1 & 2 of the 86-87 TV series "Crime Story", which I really enjoyed when it first appeared on television. The two sets have a total of 44 episodes, which represent all the shows that were televised before the series was cancelled.

Starred Dennis Farina as a Chicago cop and Anthony Denison as the mobster he was trying to bring down.

I've spent the past 2 or 3 days watching those episodes. One of the things I liked most about "Crime Story" is that every episode had several songs from old-time rock-and-roll, rhythm and blues, etc. Brought back memories.

I am going through me Star Trek:TNG seasons.Started with season 1 a while back and yesterday began with season 2.Oh Picard LOL

During the holiday weekend, I watched several movies including the great Cagney & Bogart classic: " Angels With Dirty Faces" and a "new classic" just released into the theaters called: "Beer Fest." This movie has in it folks like: Donald Sutherland, Jurgen Prochnow and Cloris Leachman. If you want something funny to see, this is it. Even though I don't drink Beer. I drink Rootbeer and did enjoy this movie.

We watched Poseidon(remake) and The Sentinel. Both were good movies, in fact I was pleasently surprised at how good The Sentinel was as I didn't hear much on that movie.

Just bought yesterday along with Rooster Cogburn--Death Wish w/ Charles Bronson. I will be watching this one tonight.

We rented and watched Akeelah and the Bee, about an 11 year-old girl from south Los Angeles who worked hard to compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. It was a real good movie!

Before that, we were on a little bit of a Cary Grant binge - bought a boxed set at Costco - so we watched The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer (a real family favorite, with Shirley Temple), Destination Tokyo, and My Favorite Wife.

The kids and I just watched Disney's new movie to DVD, "The Wild".

Island in the Sky

This morning: "A Bridge Too Far."

Some of last night and this morning: The Hurricane Express!

Watched "The Last Boy Scout" with Bruce Willis. Wish he would have made a few qwesterns but I don't think they suit his acting style.
