Moody neo-noir movie poster for The Hit with a diptych painting of Terence Stamp, Laura del Sol & John Hurt along with black bullet holes and the slashing red text: The Hit

Stephen Frears’ 1984 genre-bending noir road movie: The Hit. Tim Roth debuts as a kinetic, cocky, green criminal. John Hurt is a world weary hit man. Terence Stamp (RIP) is the wily “grass”. Laura del Sol is the underestimated wild card. Brilliant cast, amazing film. #criterion #criterionchannel

I rated My Own Private Idaho (1991) 6/10 #IMDb

I almost gave up on it, second half was better. There’s a lot of ambition here, too much maybe. Phoenix and Reeves are great. Important Queer film, so I can appreciate that. Cinematography was striking.

Finished Ben-Hur, splitting the near 4 hours over 3 nights. Had never seen it, was prepared for a slog but it's very watchable and flows well. Seems it would have had an annual Easter airing on network TV back in the 70's, but no? Easy to snicker at in parts; also genuinely moving #criterionchannel

Just watched The Tempest. Amazing movie, great cast headed by Helen Mirren, Chris Cooper, and Alan Cummings.

Before there was Sally Hawkins making love to Amphibian Man, there was Lady Divine and Lobsterdora.

On the shoulders of giants rode Sally.

I rated Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) 7/10 #IMDb

Carpenter’s first LA set film, a reimagined Rio Bravo is a masterclass in slow burn tension for the inevitable. The fact that none of the actors went on to more is a shock. Carpenter’s electronic music is 🔥

I'm glad I live in a world where there's a movie about a gigantic Frankenstein that fights a gigantic reptile monster.
Haven't seen this one in ages.

I rated The Limey (1999) 7/10 #IMDb

Soderbergh and Stamp in revenge noir in sunny LA. over the top Cockney. Peter Fonda sleazy AF Luis Guzman solid. Love the old footage of Stamp from “Poor Cow” by Ken Loach. Also with Barry Newman (Vanishing Point). Solid 7+

An influence on ALIEN (same writer) and the isolation of space
parody 2001, with a female not sinister HAL, an alien that’s not happy, and a logical bomb which would have fit in Dr. Strangelove.

Watched Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice; woo boy that's a slice of America at a particular moment. Not sure what I think overall but great costumes and sets, great acting, and good lord! Dyan Cannon. Fun watch #criterionchannel

I rated Hooper (1978) 6/10 #IMDb

Fun salute to stunts and stuntmen directed by Hal Needham with Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Adam West, James Best and Jan Michael Vincent. If you like stunts, Trans-Ams and 70s Americana think Hollywood Dukes of Hazzard.

A ★★★★½ review of Three Colours: Blue (1993) Now I have just one thing left to do . . . nothing. I want no possessions, no memories, no friends, no lovers — they’re all traps. I think often about grief and how each of us learn to live with it if...

I can’t believe I waited nearly 3 decades to watch THE BIG HIT

Lou Diamond Philips is giving a performance clearly inspired by Benicio Del Toro in The Usual Suspects because I can’t understand a word being said yet every word is fried magic dipped in gold.
