Paths Of Glory is my fave Kubrick pic.

Fantastic film. My favourite is probably 2001 but there are a couple that push it close and I have always firmly believed that Eyes Wide Shut is a masterpiece and one of the most underrated films ever made.

This evenings offering from John Wayne and Howard Hawks was, Red River. I thought Montgomery Clift was excellent and it was certainly interesting to see John Wayne portrayed more as a villain, something that certainly didn't happen a lot during his career.

I chose the following films from Friday to Sunday evening:

Renfield.

Kill Bill Volume 2.

Equaliser 2.

Last Thursday, as my car was in for a service, I spent the morning watching the Russian anti-war film Come and See.  The young lad playing the central role of Flyora was outstanding.  A film both distressing and disturbing in equal measure but riveting.

After lunch I watched the Wham! documentary which I also enjoyed.

I've had fun this afternoon watching two of my all time favourite films, the first two Rush Hour films. Still deciding whether I want to watch the third one which does fall a bit short of its predecessors.

I love Jackie Chan, always have from when I was a kid. I think if I was allowed to meet just one actor in my life, I would actually choose Jackie Chan over anyone else.

A good Jackie Chan flick is always a pleasure. My last double feature was watching both the Project A films.

Both great films. When I really want to treat myself I allow myself the time to enjoy a double bill of the first two Police Story films. Absolute masterpieces.

I discovered the Police Story movies in reverse order. Oh, those pre-internet days, when you had to stumble across stuff and take a chance. But Police Story III introduced me to Michelle Yeoh, which is another wonderful discovery.

Going through the watchlist. 

Don't look up. DiCaprio as an astronomer who's PhD candidate spots a giant asteroid heading to earth. Dark comedy and very good satire of social media trumpism and the dumbing down of society. It's like a grown up version of idiocracy. Well worth a watch.

I can see why Alistair Sim, 1951, Scrooge: A Christmas Carol is considered the best. 

I also enjoyed watching Miracle on 34th Street (1994).

 

I actually watched the '94 Miracle yesterday and quite enjoyed it. I've always absolutely loved the original so avoided the remake but as I say, it was more enjoyable than I was expecting.

The newest version of Death on the Nile with detective Poirot.

We all thought the visuals were glorious and enjoyed this whodunnit that we rented on Christmas Eve.

I grew up with the David Suchet depiction of the famous detective, but even so the transition to Kenneth Branagh is fine.

7.5/10

Netflix. The Kurt Warner underdog story. 

Pretty good especially if you like the NFL. 

It does provide a decent life lesson to youngsters. You need to make your own luck.

I have followed the above with:

Anna and the Apocalypse (I guess this is a musical but it sounds like it was written by a Shadow Gallery fan so it's well worth a listen/watch)

Home Alone 2 (Seriously if you haven't already seen this then watch it now! The last 15 mins are superior to most other other comedic films)

Violent Night (The true origin of Santa 👍)

We will continue our 1 per night Xmas films until NYE.
