Happy Birthday, Clint Eastwood

Reckon I'll smash a few of his out in the week ahead.

Definitely start with the 'Dollars' trilogy.

But all of his westerns were good...

Every Clint Eastwood Western, in Order

I've often wished I could find this list and since I never have, here it is for all to enjoy. They're not ranked, just listed in the order of release. Note: I'm going by a strict definition of what makes something a "Western." Some films are casually described that way but do not take place in...

m.imdb.com

I didn't realize he made so many!

Do you want to wake up with a bang in the morning and jump clear across the room?



Set Shatner's 'Khan! Khan!' as your alarm ringtone at full volume!


Gonna ruin it for you mate...



Anyway, watched the latest action revenge film....

Pretty good! If you enjoyed Monkey Man, you'll enjoy this one.

Oh, and if you don't recognize the narrator's voice, here's a hint:



Yip, H. Jon Benjamin!

The guy who does Archer and Bob's Burgers.

i always like to deep dive into a movie after watching it and find out more, think i read that the original script matt damon wrote was completely different to how it turned out and loads of people turned down his movie but harvey weinstein liked it and told him to make some changes

i guess it explains why robin williams won an oscar for his acting in the film and matt damon didn't

talking of bill skarsgard though, small world, his dad was in good will hunting

Wow! That is a coincidence...

Totally unintentional on my part.

Done pretty much every Western over the past 6 months.

Probably do the Harry Callaghan ones (apart from the awful V)

Just been to see Hit Man. Didn’t really know much about it going in but thought it was really good. Loosely based on a true story. Really good performances pretty much across the board, especially from Glen ‘Hangman’ Powell (who co-wrote the screenplay with Richard Linklater). Definitely worth checking out. Will be on Netflix next week I think if you miss it at the cinema.

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

A Hologram for the King with Tom Hanks from 2016. It’s alright, could have been a little longer to flesh out more of the story, just kind of comes to a sudden end.

As for Kings in the title...this is better.

Civil War

What a waste of time.

Awful? To quote myself....

The Dead Pool

Dirty Harry continuing to just be a straight up murderer.
Liam Neeson playing a luvvie director with a pretty disgusting ponytail /rat-tail
Hair Metal Jim Carrey gurning and miming to "Welcome To The Jungle".
G'n'R as extras at a funeral - Slash later fires a harpoon gun.
A technically well made car chase which is also possibly the stupidest car chase in cinema history.

It's something. Not something necessarily good but it's something.

It's by no means awful. More a 'cultural touchstone'.

 

[Buckers]

Watching Godzilla Minus One. Scaring the living daylights out of the dog. She thinks it’s a window into another world.

 

[davep]

All valid points.

But Gemma Arterton looks decent as the spoiled brat.

So that's something.

The fact she didn't get her kit off was a major downer. Not sure why you'd pick her as your lead actress otherwise.

 

[ClausThomsen]

If you haven't seen this, do ! The worst sc-fi film ever ; Bela Lugosi died halfway through filming, so his stand in wandered round the rest of the film with his cape obscuring his face. Also brings a new meaning to 'special effects'.

The 'Ed Wood' film by Tim Burton is well worth a look.

 

[Dylan]

Watched this Woody Allen flick the other day.

And I must say, after seeing Timothée Chalamet grow a pair and own it in Dune 2, and then watching him act in this film as a neurotic, obsessive compulsive 20 year old-something New Yorker (which is basically a typical Woody Allen character in a typical Woody Allen script ) was a little bit disconcerting...

Good movie, but for me he undid all his hard work earning a reputation as a badass in Dune.

Shouldn't that be:

"Reinforced his status as a legitimate actor who has range"

?????

 

[Dylan]

Best Mad Max film is Turbo Kid.

I think I've seen that......

NZ/Canadian production and Michael Ironside (Jester/Rasczak/Richter) is the villian?

Surprisingly good!

Lol, yes… That is one way to look at it.

But don’t you know how sometimes a certain actor or a certain role that an actor plays can just rub you the wrong way?

I think that’s what happened here.
