@taniwharugby reynolds definitely does too and i think they are both doing very well for themselves, i think i read reynolds has said he's stepping back a bit for acting

Old Henry - A western about an injured bloke being chased by baddies who ends up at a farmer’s house in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma. There’s more going on than anybody realises. Like Nobody but with horses and hogs.
A warning though, no boobies, no hotties, fuck it I’ll just say it: there’s not a single woman in the entire movie.

I've had some average movie watching over the past week.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire: Don't believe the hype. This movie has gotten rave reviews across the board so thought I'd finally get round to watching it. It was a decent enough watch but not The Godfather of female romance films I was expecting - probably more the Donnie Brasco. French. A little bit of boob.
Some fucking Netflix Xmas film: A new rule, I wont blindly watch a film because I like the stand up starring in it, there's one funny joke in the 10 second clip I watch when it pops up, and the actress looks attractive. Has Jimmy O. Yang (from Silicon Valley) and some hot chick but is a terrible by the numbers catfish Xmas movie. I don't even think it would be fun to ironically watch while drinking with your mates like some of their other films are.
The Laundromat: Soderbergh - tick. Great cast - tick. Topical-ish story - tick. Big Short style - tick. Final movie - half a tick. Just didn't work.
Last Night in Soho: Yay, finally an actual really good movie. Psychological thriller starring Tomasin McKenzie (Kiwi actress from Jojo Rabbit) and Anya Taylor Joy (big eyed actress from The Queens Gambit) directed by Edgar Wright.

Okay - yeah, this was actually pretty good.
Just a good solid no-nonsense western... fuck-all plot, plenty of shooting shitty old revolvers with fuck-all accuracy.
What would have been a fucking cheesy reveal in any other movie... just kinda worked..
Confirmed: zero tits - bare, hinted at, or at all. -
Gene Hackman was in 20 films in the 1980s. After Superman II in 1980, they were all bombs until No Way Out (great movie) in 1987, and Mississippi Burning in 1988. It wasn't until 1992 that his career recovered with his great performance in Unforgiven.
I've been watching some of those 80s movies, and generally they are not good.

Another 90s classic I must watch again at some stage

@tim I think his career recovered with his roles in Mississippi Burning and No Way Out, both great films and outstanding performances from him. With Hoosiers that's three pretty good films in three years.
Did have the Cannon Superman IV in between to bring things down a bit though.

that is when he played Lex Luthor? I don't know, it kind of dated badly but in an interesting comic way.

@nepia Uncommon Valor was an interesting case. Same director as First Blood (Rambo), and coming one year after. Obviously he was hot, it starred Hackman, and was produced John Milius. Something must have happened with the budget, because everything conspired to stop the action and make the movie lame.

The Little Things
Shit weather so movie weekend.
Denzel and Rami Malek.
The latter didn't really fit.
Long and a little bit over blown.
And half way through they throw in Jared Leto as the baddie. But is he? Well he is the baddie bit is he the baddie we think he is?
Densely is Denzel.
Rami is hopeless.
Leto is good.
Have seen worse movies, but was not easy to follow.
OK in the end.
3 (barely) red barettes out of five bitch why the fuck are you letting him force you to dig holes, you fucking dickhead?

Agree about No Way Out and Mississippi Burning.
Reds and Hoosiers are well regarded.
Don't know Reds but the other three are awesome
Reds was Warren Beatty’ magnum opus. A loooong film about the early days of American communism.
As interesting as it sounds.

Agreed but trumped by being top shagger.
