Much to be said about this film: Jimmy Stewart showing why he is one of the greatest American actors to have ever lived, George C. Scott playing an excellent straight man, Lee Remick's fantastic performance both in and out of the stand, the 'blocking' and framing during the cross analysis, and a Duke Ellington score to boot. Wow! What a flick...

Gladiator II 2024
Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal cannot save this film. Total crud, what happened to Ridley Scott? Ranks very low among his filmography.

A Bridge Too Far 1977
Anthony Hopkins is brilliantly understated in this, the way he checks his watch after the 'surrender negotiation' as if he has places to be is just one of the many little joys in this grand piece.

Three Day Millionaire 2022
If you strapped me onto a table, drilled into my skull, extracted little meaty globules of my brain, and distilled them into a liqueure of my purest dreams: you would find the premise of this film.
It has everything. Trawlermen. Crumbling British towns sacked by neoliberalism. Heists.
And yet, in spite of that, it's really quite shite. A great idea squandered is a very frustrating thing to see. This film should have been made by someone who knows and cares about fishing, there was just not enough fishing.
