I didn't enjoy The Old Man and a Gun though. I like all of those you mentioned and although The Old man.........wasn't one of his best, still an ok movie for me.

I like most of his films, but got to admit "The Old Man with Gun" was a disappointment. Mind, did fall asleep half way through. Maybe I should watch it again all the way through next time, could be it's a good film after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJ Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Saw two movies last two days - one awful, one great. I didn't see director Steve McQueen's 3rd feature "12 Years a Slave" because I thought it was the sort of film that was going to give me a headache from anger over the injustice I expected to be portrayed. His 4th feature, "Widows" is finally available. Total timewaster. Very flat - a lot of scenes feel like they filmed the rehearsal. The actors sometimes seem to be acting in different films. Terrible script - the central caper and the way it is conducted is so absurd, and the big plot twist doesn't evoke shock and surprise but "Ok. So what?" because everything is already on the level of episodic TV plus some swearing and a tad of nudity. I ended up getting my anger headache anyway, because the next day I decided to watch a film I'd seen very long ago - Costa-Gavras' 3rd feature "Z" (1969). Half a century later, this film has lost none of its punch and power. A thriller about what became a major worldwide scandal in Greece. As the forward to the film states "Any resemblance with non-fictitious events or people, living or dead, is not a coincidence. It is INTENTIONAL". Stirring and exciting. I also felt sadness as it makes me think of what is going on now in Venezuela with the USA launching a coup to destroy a democratically elected government there. If you haven't seen this, definitely worth viewing, and if you have seen it, definitely worth viewing again. (If one of the thugs looks familiar he was the man on an elevated train that Gene Hackman raced in a car to overtake in "The French Connection" - Marcel Bozzuffi).

Concrete Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 The Sting was a good movie, however that was made in 1973. Since then he's been in a lot of duds. Really only old women rate him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I'm with you about The Old Man and The Gun. Thought it was OK, but I get enjoyment out of just watching guys like Redford and Eastwood. That they're still involved in movies in their eighties, is an achievement in itself I reckon. Both are absolute legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 "A street cat named Bob" Nice feel good movie set in London https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3606888/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Based on the international best selling book. The true feel good story of how James Bowen, a busker and recovering drug addict, had his life transformed when he met a stray ginger cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I'm waiting for s22 of Silent Witness and S9 of Vera to finish. Until then I'm enjoying The Marvellous Mrs Maisel and old episodes of Death in Paradise.
