Addicted to cinema since I could crawl. Love watching, talking about, reading about and writing about movies. So, yeah, that's more or less it.

Solidly entertaining, bare-nuckled thriller with a tight script and complimentary physical effects. Vince Vaughn is a workhorse with street smarts in a battle to save his family from a psychopathic villain who offers him a greusome bargain. Old school basics in good hands.

Gene Hackman starred in Nic Roeg’s all but forgotten Eureka. It’s a fascinating precursor to There Will Be Blood.
I saw it as a poetry-loving teenager & Hackman introduced me to Robert Service’s beautiful poem The Spell of The Yukon which he partly recites at the end. I’ll post a link underneath.

It’s the birthdays of Al Lettieri, Abe Vigoda & Dominic Chianese (seen here with the influential acting teacher Lee Strasberg).
I miss the days of American cinema when you had wonderful character actors with interesting faces populating the casts of movies like Godfather 1 & 2.

RIP George Armitage
He directed two of my favourite films, Miami Blues and Grosse Pointe Blank. He’s also responsible for my favourite scene involving a baby & Under Pressure.
Just beautiful.

Still mulling on Brando’s performance in Missouri Breaks. He’s a despicable psychopath but he’s also this mercurial wry observer of an absurd universe. He foregrounds not only his performance - Is his Irish accent his “real” accent? - but his boredom with performance- the weightlessness of it.
