Last Non Western You Watched

They Were Expendable another of Duke's B/W movies.

The Tiger's Tail

Brendan Gleeson in a duel role in a lousy John Boorman film.

Then There Were None

Made last year for British TV. It was good.

Watched That Man From Rio with John Paul Belmondo. I thought it was lousy.

There aren't many Belmondo movies available in Region 1.

Breaker Morant

Great movie now out on the Criterion Collection.

Star Wars The Force Awakens (again)

Le Ronde

Good Max Ophlus film.

Magician

Documentary about Orson Welles.

Gods of Egypt

As bad as they get.

Black Mass

Well acted, violent film with Johnny Depp.

McFarland, USA

Decent Kevin Costner movie.

The Killer by John Woo

Not really my kind of movie but I can see why its held in such esteem.

Sully

It was ok.

For some inexplicable reason I watched On A Clear Day You Can See Forever. It was horrible. I can't stand Streisand and I've never understood the appeal of Yves Montand.

45 Years

If your having trouble going to sleep this is the movie for you.

Noises Off

Dreadful movie.

Cafe Society

Decent Woody Allen movie.

Paris Trout

Old Dennis Hopper movie that should be buried.

White Christmas (1954) Bing Crosby & Danny Kaye

The wife loves the movie and it's getting close to that time of year!

I've spent the past two or three days watching Season 1 of "Cheers", one of my favorite TV shows.

Binge watched the the first season of the new Netflix series called "The Crown". It was a great series and sadly I'll need to wait months to see the next season. lol It's a great watch.

Casino Royale

The awful David Niven version.

Just finished " For the love of Spock" on Netflix. A great documentary on Leonard Nimoy that examines the man through the eyes of his son, which offers a far more intimate look at his private life as opposed to the glossy and measured celebrity image. It made me appreciate him so much more knowing he was a regular human being with the same kind of insecurities and struggles at being a husband, a father, and a son (like we all do). It actually gave him a true measure of merit as a man instead of a bloated pat on the back which Hollywood always gives him for playing a cultural icon.

It really illustrated that being known for something hardly fixes all the ills that one must face in life. Indeed, it sometimes make it harder having to find the right perspective. An excellent documentary. I highly recommend.
