Reservoir Dogs.
Mr Orange's leather coat's still the best thing about it!

The Bourne Identity (Roger Young, 198-eight)
These two films were made as a tv mini-series and are more closely related to Robert Ludlum's book, in which a CIA agent -David Webb- undergoes plastic surgery to look like a notorious pathological killer who served in Vietnam called Jason Bourne. The aim is to assassinate high ranking politicians and claim them to be the work of Carlos the Jackal in an attempt to coax the Jackal out of hiding and kill him. In one attempted assassination at sea Bourne is shot, and washes up on the shore of the south of France having lost his memory but with a Swiss bank account tattooed on his body.

These two films bear no relation to the -by comparison- dazzling version by Doug Liman with Matt Damon. Instead, Richard Chamrberlain, who was in his early 50s when the films were made, spends most of his time looking bewildered and confused, even when he finds out who he is. His attempts to have sex with Jaclyn Smith are risible even if she doesn't look that bad for a 40-something. A slew of English actors pretending to be French sounding like they stepped out of a lost episode of 'Allo 'Allo make even this cheap production look amateurish ditto Peter Vaughan with a vaudeville German accent. It is fitting that Jaclyn Smith is in this as the films are pitched somewhere between Charlie's Angels and a discarded episode of Columbo. At one point the action is supposed to take place in Paris but the cars in the street have Marseille licence plates. I wanted to see it to compare it with the later version, but I didn't think it was this bad. It really is dire. No wonder Chamberlain retired to Hawaii. I discovered he was gay in the early 70s long before he came out, and when he still had a career, but he never could act. I found myself intruding on that photo shoot he did on the terraces of the South Bank complex, when he had his hair permed and looked like he wanted someone younger than the photographer. I was not aroused, and went on my way.

The Equalizer, pretty good.

Sex Tape.... It's OK. For a few laughs. And a bit of escapism.

Stavros, how can we be sure you're not letting this very personal encounter with Richard Chamberlain get in the way of your otherwise impeccable artistic judgment?

fantastic.

Two of the AA nominations which caught my eye, Interstellar for Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.

As Stavros mentioned in an earlier post, the sound in this movie was awful. I guess Nolan was trying to do some artsy-fartsy thing with sound and the Academy seemed to have bought it.

I just saw The Boy Next Door. Ridiculous movie , but I just like looking at Jennifer Lopez. Got to see her in panties and bra, but it's messed up that they showed the guys butt, but they didn't show hers. LOL She looks amazing for a 40 year old woman.
