A Night To Remember - Roy Ward Baker (1958) Devil In A Blue Dress - Carl Franklin (1995)

Bilbo Baggins Wilco Johnson Dr Feelgood

Chrissie Hynde The Great Pretender Elmer Gantry

Birdman Of Alacatraz - John Frankenheimer (1962) Indeed. One film I went back and saw again the same week on a big screen in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. Kabukicho was a great place in the 70's, crowded and sleazy but with an amazing number of cinemas. All now wiped away by gentrification, leaving an arid , bland nothingness.

Jane Eyre - Cary Joji Fukunaga (2011)

Blue Jean Baby Woman In Red Black Widow

Some of the latest footage really brings home the sheer enormity of the flood damage. Sympathy to all involved. We are no strangers to typhoons and tropical storms, we are having one as I type, but Houston's nightmare dwarfs our petty concerns.

Orville Wright The Righteous Brothers Holy Rollers

Swimming Pool - Francois Ozon (2003)

It Comes At Night - Trey Edward Shults (2017) Highly misleading title. I'm afraid it didn't work for me. I get the premise but couldn't connect with it.

All The Young Dudes Young Americans Fine Young Cannibals

Sin Nombre - Cary Joji Fukunaga (2009)

Too Big To Fail - Curtis Hanson (2011)

Shalimar The Clown Bozo The Clown Jokerman

Disc 10 from Take A Look Complete On Columbia.

Smashed - James Ponsoldt (2012) Great film merits a relook. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is terrific. It wouldn't surprise me if Santa Fe enjoyed a much better film selection than Tokyo. One thing overlooked is that all non Japanese films are shown with Japanese subtitles, not English, thus making them either wholly or partially incomprehensible. Others are delayed for several months; the latest Planet Of The Apes opens at year end. As an interesting experiment, go to IMDB and check the release dates in Japan of all the films currently showing in Santa Fe. You'll probably find over half aren't even scheduled for release. If the selection of films showing was even half decent, I'd be at the cinema twice a week using my free bus and subway passes and old folks cheap ticket system.
