    The Lion in Winter

    ★★★½

    I finally watched the lion in winter, the sheer mass of acting talent on display is mind boggling. Regrettably the movie feels to long.

  • Copycat

    Copycat

    ★★★★

    I think Weaver gives one of her best performances in this movie, perhaps only second to the intensity she shows in the death and the maiden. These kind of movies might not her best known work but she really flexes her talent in those less flashy roles. 

    Her she plays the traumatized psychologist, expert for serial killers, yet afraid to leave her own home. She characterizes herself as the serial killer’s pin up. This thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat.

    An exceptional gripping movie, as the traumatized victim of systematic torture, sees her chance of getting revenge on one of her tormentors. 
    I can’t say who is giving the better performance, Sigourney Weaver as Paulina or Ben Kingsley as Doctor. Polanski certainly got more than his moneys worth.

    Tubi continues to present me with Western I never heard before of. This is one of those very interesting movies. Joel McCrea as the new judge, firm in his opinion to bring justice to a town where everything is owned by the Bannerman's. So bringing Tom Bannerman to jsutice comes with it's very own challenges.
    John Carradine is absolutely fantastic as slimy, prosecutor, firmly owned by the Bannermans.
