`` Liar and a Dreamer''

  This was okay- it is not hard to see why it is forgotten It is an attempt to cash in on Ferringo's fame and physique and a bit of 80s sword and sandal- Cleopatra's -The last days of Pompeii  There was a lot of exposition in the beginning  They gender swapped Daedalus- who was wearing what looked like a plastic bikini bottom. She was there after filmed from the waist up- did the actress complain Minos and Daedalus who both make an appearance talk about science as a means of making war on the gods We get some of the lesser know stories about Hercules him-separating Europe from Africa The King of Africa is not black  You get a chance to see how strong Ferringo is- a lot of the scenes when he is holding off multiple actors Alas genuine minoans went bare breasted  

  I liked this. There is a lot here- There are three blind men-three blind mice ala Dr No. We see Quinn in a Hawaiian shirt-ala Tom Selleck. Magnum P.I wrapped up presumably during filming The colour scheme and location is fantastic  I first became aware of this motion picture during one of my first jobs. The BBC had recently showed it, and people were talking about it Denzel Washington plays Xavier Quinn Chief of Police on a small Caribbean Island- I think it is supposed to be Jamaica- but the island feels smaller. It also has a Governor. The great game is being played by West and East in the background One world is passing, You can hear the RP spoken in Dr NO by Norman Beaton. Quinn notes that Beaton's Chalk was once the poultry inspector. James Fox plays a luxury Hotel owner -there has been a murder This is island that needs tourist dollars The prime suspect is Quinn's best friend It has a lot to recommend- an interesting McGuffin a 10000 dollar bill. A bumbling tourist who...

  This is a teens comic book movie. It is a French graphic novel -worked on by Schiender and  Armando Iannucci By the way Schneider should have been the Mule in Foundation So I have seen a lot of this on YouTube  It has an eclectic cast Buscemi, and Trabor, and Michael Palin. Oh and Paul WhiteHouse I think a Yorkshireman playing Zhukov makes sense. Trabor as Jewish is fine. Ukraine as New Jersey I am a bit skeptical about The location shoots are beautiful I liked it, it's fine. 

  I enjoyed this- I think I have seen glimpses of it on occasional Saturdays. I think it was a favorite of the schedulers  Lots of Action  It is Burt and Sally's follow up to the Bandit movies. Burt plays older here, but less philosophical than he does in Bandit. Hooper is a smarter, older and wiser Bandit As the James Bond Franchise dies, it is interesting to note that the movie with in a movie here is a James Bond movie. We see Burt in a white tuxedo James Best who we will see later in The Dukes of Hazard guest stars My God the product placement for Cours is intense here There is a quote about faggots getting married, and a busty stripper seen just out of shot. Which probably would not make the cut today The Dr who treats hooper smokes Jan Michael Vincent makes an agreeable debut.  50 K is enough for Hooper to buy his ranch and move on from performing stunts There is a lot of love to the stunts performed on old Westerns, there is a nod to the Sword and Sandal epics...

  I thought I would cross this off my list. I am pleased I made the effort It is fine. I can see why people enjoy it. It is a decent action film. Like the brand of wood varnish it does exactly what it says on the tin. I can see John Wick having influenced the Punisher, and a lot of stuff made since this This is a 2013 production, my first year in Peru I had a beagle too Kudos to Alfie Allen, for being willing to play unlikeable characters- he is making this while playing Theon in GOT It gets to the point economically- and has John Wick built up by the other characters- most noticeably the ``Oh'' scene Lots of faces from the Wire. Which is never a bad thing. The casting is well chosen I note the bad guys in NYC are lily white Russians  

 I was late to this one. I have been meaning to view this film for a while. If for no other reason than to silence my sibling I think it is too long. This is in part what put me off watching it, I also think we were robbed of a better ending.  I learn from wiki this is a remake of Internal Affairs. Fine I was expecting something different I don't think Hollywood has a feel for the Irish mob, they hint at Costello's IRA links but never make it explict. Why is he an FBI format? Who is he giving up? Again I think that the source is not as sweet as it could be I did not realise the shrink was Vera Farmiga That said the first hour and a half is great cinema. You are the hands of genius with this cast. Nicolson, Di Caprio, Baldwin, and Martin Sheen  Nicolson can do perverse so well. I think the film is better when it is life in South Boston, rather than the final cat and mouse game  I still don't belive Mat Damon as a tough guy
