"Spectre" - the latest James Bond movie. Pretty good especially the opening section depicting a "Day of the Dead" episode.

As the crook said numerous .

"Avengers - Age of Ultron" - the Avenger team has to take down a menace of their own making.

"Hard to Kill" - one of the better Steven Segal movies.

"Out for Justice" - One of the many Steven Segal flicks with William Forsyth as the baddie

"Some Like It Hot" - starred Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe - on TCM last night. Good comedy.

"Heellraiser: Deader" - Part of the "Hellraiser" franchise of movies. Not very horrific or scary.

"Air Force One" - an exciting take on what happens when terrorists try to take over the President's 747. - Stars Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman.

"Victor Victoria" - Smart movie about a woman who pretends to be a man pretending to be a woman. Stars Julie Andrews, James Garner and Robert Preston.

"S.O.B." - stars Julie Andrews, William Holden and Robert Preston. Funny take on the nastiness of the Hollywood backbiting

"Escort West" - Stars Victor Mature. A former Confederate soldier and his daughter join up with a pair of sisters through territory that is infested with indians.

"The Way West" - a western that could have been better because it tends to have a lot of boring sections. Stars Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum and Richard Widmark. About a wagon train going from Independence, MO to Oregon.

"Chato's Land" - a rather violent western, but good. Chato kills a red-necked sheriff in self defense, is chased by a posse consisting of ranchers and farmers. But he turns the tables on them in harsh territory.

"The Big Country" with Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Burl Ives, Jean Simmons and Carrol Baker. Good western.

I wonder what has happened to The Ringo Kid. He hasn't posted since June 9, 2013. I hope he is all right.
