John Wick 3 - Chad Stahelski (2019) Big breathless action extrazaganza with a meagre storyline but oodles of badass fighting. Never a dull moment when John Wick's in town. Enjoyed it, especially the dogs.

The Deer Hunter - Michael Cimino (1978)

........ This is a brilliantly plotted page turner. It's rare for me to cancel my evening film time but I literally couldn't put this one down.

Rocketman - Dexter Fletcher (2019) Messy kaleidoscope of high energy song and dance clips loosely connected by events from his life. Felt a bit Ken Russell like on occasion. Admired some of the film making but can't honestly say it was satisfactory. McCabe & Mrs Miller - Robert Altman (1971)

Nashville - Robert Altman (1975)

Disc 3

Eat Drink Man Woman - Ang Lee (1994)

The Wedding Banquet - Ang Lee (1993)

Love Hugo.

The Queen Of Spades - Thorold Dickinson (1949) Pushing Hands - Ang Lee (1996)

Reagan was the evildoer in The Killers. I read that he was so upset that the role tarnished his image and damaged his political chances that he tried to get the film withdrawn and or destroyed. Personally I think he played a great bad man, in fact it's his only role that sticks in my memory.

I think the Coen's also referenced that scene in Burn After Reading. Interesting that Lee Marvin & Angie Dickinson met up again in The Killers Don Siegel remake.

The Player - Robert Altman (1992)

Disc 1

Syriana - Stephen Gaghan (2005)

3 Women - Robert Altman (1977)

Dull, dreary, humid and rain, rain, rain, rain, rain..........

Been listening to bits and pieces of these 3 discs. Much more rough and ready than the pristinely produced studio albums but that's not a bad thing. Neil Young does a great take on Ohio.
