[Tangled up in Blue]

Yeah, Oates is fantastic and it's his best performance for me. I always tend to lean towards more leftfield/offbeat things, hence why I prefer ...Alfredo Garcia to the more commercial Wild Bunch.

I imagine you've seen him in Monte Hellman's Two Lane Blacktop with James Taylor and Dennis Wilson? He was superb in that.

Actually I never have seen that - as a big fan of Warren Oates and Dennis Wilson I need to put that right.

It's a wonderful road movie.Dennis Wilson plays the Mechanic to James Taylor's the Driver driving across the US versus Warren Oates.

Saw Woody Allen's Manhatten again last night.Not my choice but a good one all the same.Probably his last, great film.

Whisper of the Heart - Ghibli animation. Not a lot happens but it's still enjoyable enough. Not one of Mayazaki's best. 6/10

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Mike Leigh's Abigail's Party again last night.Timeless comedy gold.Allison Steadman has never been better.

Saw Tony Richardson's The Entertainer again last night.Saw Alfred Marks in the Archie Rice role at the Palace theatre back in the day and also Kenneth Brannagh's revival more recently .Oliver's performance stands out though.

Bad Boys For Life - Loved it and they’ve left it open for another one and I’ve read they’re going to do!

Darkest Hour - up there with The King’s Speech.
Gary Oldman is excellent.

Aha, thought I was missing something ?.. good to hear it’s a decent watch, you never know with these sequels (see later Die Hard films).

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Darkest Hour - up there with The King’s Speech.
Gary Oldman is excellent.

I wasn't keen on The King's Speech because that actor that playey King George V1 kept stuttering throughout the film.

I take a lot of them with a pinch of salt like the Fast and Furious franchise. I watch it just because it’s a bit of fun.

The new bad boys was really enjoyable though a good blend of humour and violence.
