I’m a big old time film buff. Particularly Film Noir. AMC is always showing some great lesser known flicks of great quality. I’ve been exposed to some great performances and some terrific story lines. There’s so many good flicks from great directors that may not have won an Oscar but were certainly worthy.
Just got back from seeing Kurosawa's Yojimbo at the Hollywood Theater in 35mm. Never seen it before but have seen the unauthorized remake "A Fistful of Dollars." Same movie scene for scene. Anyway, excellent movie in all respects.
Secondhand Lions - awesome movie and family friendly.
Dinosaur 13 - documentary about the excavation of the T-Rex, Sue, and the legal battle over who had ownership of the remains.
Midnight in Paris - terrific movie and very entertaining for anyone with a love for Paris, art and literature of the 1920's (and I generally don't care for Woody Allen).
His son Mark Wambaugh was in my class growing up, we partied hard together at times... died a year or two after high school down in Mexico, very sad...
But the Onion Field and Blue Knight were great....
I watched the Infiltrator with Bryan Cranston over the weekend. Pretty intense movie about how US Customs used an undercover agent to break up Pablo Escobar's money laundering operation.
Just watched Paths Of Glory...a 1957 very early Kubrick work....a much underrated World War 1 flik starring Kirk Douglas....ive watched it three times in past 2-3 years....very good , different type of war movie.
If there's a better film, I'd like someone to make me aware of it, often we think of Grateful Dead Tour as a purely musical endeavor, but it was and is a struggle for the consciousness of a nation, Viva la Revolución!
Saw Operation Finale yesterday with my father; while the movie was not too good, there was enough poetry in motion & imagery in the day, to make up for that.
Thursday night I was invited for a free re screening of "Light in the Darkness" a documentary on the racial Nazi Gang like Killing back in 2008 one town over from me of a very young full of-hope Hispanic man "Lucero".
It was National news at the time & now on PBS doc.
There is a massive amount of prejudice in this world & was actually fearing for my life as I walked to my car with Mexico Soccer shirt on.
In fact more, but technology and heart felt Police training is helping. But just last week a mother of a murdered gang member was killed 5 days prior to me seeing this film, 7 miles from this theater.
Pretty sure there were at least a few Phil Lesh shows that this actress attended, which was kind of cool in a zeitgeist sort of way, that she was in the building...one of the great scenes in film, you are home!!!!!
This acclaimed biographical drama presents major events in the life of Mohandas Gandhi (Ben Kingsley), the beloved Indian leader who stood against British rule over his country. Dedicated to the concept of nonviolent resistance, Gandhi is initially dismissed by English officials, including the influential Lord Irwin (John Gielgud), but eventually he and his cause become internationally renowned, and his gatherings of passive protest move India towards independence.
Sir Ben Kingsley "becomes" Gandhi...it's a life changing film.
Had some sick down time this week and enjoyed the coen's remake of True Grit starring Jeff Bridges and Mat Damon as the Ranger La * beef ' oddly enough on the over air broadcast channel named Grit. Not an unsurmountable amount of advertisements like on cable either.
First time seeing it. A descent effort of a hard remake. Very small subtle differences in the screenplay.
Fantastic dialogue and linguistics up to par with the original in this remake. Worth a watch.
If you are going to see three movies (assuming you haven't already seen them), check out The Favourite, Roma, and Vice. There is a reason why they got so many Oscar nods. The Favourite is the best of the bunch.

Gandhi was the last film we saw at the now defunct "Pequa Movie Theater" in Massapequa Long Island.
The movie was so long, we had sit in the car for 10 minutes to re adjust to seeing daylight ever again.
