I recently got hold of all the toy story movies for the kids. Like most people my age, I've ignored all the imagery for the last 18 years and never even thought about taking the time to watch any of them.
I was bored and had nothing else to do last night, so I watched one and two.
Hand on heart, even if you are an adult, please watch them because they are bloody brilliant, in fact scrub that...they're bloody genius. Number two especially. There's also no bad actors to spoil the film.
Honestly

Having a chat in the pub about what was the best movie trilogies i.e. Back to the Future, The Godfather, Star Wars, first three Indiana Jones or Die Hard, etc. In most cases you get two really good ones and the other is a bit duff.
Common consent tho, was Toy Story was the best of the lot. Not a bad film amongst the three.

Seen a few good films lately - 12 Years A Slave, Her and The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug.
Can't wait for The Wolf of Wall Street next weekend either!Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is worth a watch. Very random, but it's pretty good. It doesn't drag at all, when it finished I didn't realise I'd been watching it so long at all.

Just watched Shutter Island, superb film with an excellent twist. I also watched Southern Comfort, not a brilliant movie but a good watch and really enjoyed it.

Saw the Wolf of Wall Street the other day. It was good but reaaaally long, wouldn't have done any harm to shorten it down a wee bit.

Catch Me If You Can
Solid 8/10 but you'd expect no less with Hanks and diCaprio in it.''It's always been just part of the culture. Growing up, for most working-class kids, is all about football, music or clothes. You might not have much money, but whatever you have got, you're going to look good.'' - Paul Weller

Watched Oldboy again recently. If you haven't seen it then check it out, an amazing movie.

Nebraska is good. Very funny in parts. Filmed in monochrome in Montana and North Dakota.

Saw Non-Stop the other night - enjoyable enough but nothing spectacular about it IMO
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Ichi the Killer, Visitor Q, Gozu and Zatochi being my Miike favourites...
Visitor Q and Gozu aren't for anyone with a weak stomach though and best watched (in my opinion) with a few beers!

I've watched all three - "Mr Vengeance", "Oldboy", "Lady Vengeance" - and they're very good films.
I found that being psychotic helped a lot the second time around. I really got into the plot lines in a big way, much better than the first time around.
Of course, it was watching the films the first time around that made me psychotic ....
Two I've watched recently - "Rust and Bone" (French - very good - Marion Cotillard); and "Gaslight", a creepy film noir from 1942 starring Anton Walbrook and Diana Wynyard. The Americans re-made it two years later with Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman; I don't think their version is as good as the British one, but they're both good films.
One film noir I would absolutely recommend without reservation is "Touch of Evil" - Orson Welles, Janet Leigh, Charlton Heston and a whole bunch of other very good actors. Universal finally re-issued it in Orson Welles' own director's cut which is just magnificent.
Try "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" if you like a western. Jason Robards was a most under-rated actor - he was pretty good in "All The President's Men" and "Once Upon A Time in The West" too.
Not as good as Fonda, though - "What are we going to do with this one, Frank?" "Now that you've called me by name?"
AND Claudia Cardinale. (Mm-mmmm.)
