Aguirre, The Wrath of God. Freevee. Very loosely based on Don Lope de Aguirre, a Spanish conquistador nicknamed El Loco (the Madman). He is known for his failed expedition down the Amazon River looking for El Dorado, the famed, mythical, city of gold. The film is largely non-historical. So-so acting but great cinematography.

Freaks (1932). Tubi. I can see the controversy this film created when it came out. It was recut down to 64 minutes after it premiere of 90 some minutes. The extra footage is considered lost. The film premiered at Fox Theatre in San Diego. That venue is now Copley Symphony Hall, home of San Diego Symphony.

Just finished Gen V on Amazon.

 

Death Rides a Horse (1967). Tubi. A good old spaghetti western with Lee Van Cleef.

 

Bronze Star Navy vet.

Finished up "The Winter King" meh, "The Regime" ok and "The Gentleman" which I liked.

Waiting on the Chosen season 4.

 

Watched Repo Man last night... Don't recall ever having seen it. I regret not taking a gummy beforehand, was a struggle to finish.

 

Doing a rewatch of FUBAR on Netflix. And just wrapped up The Tourist which I thought was interesting for sure.

 

Trinity is Still My Name (1971). Tubi. A Spaghetti Western followup to My Name is Trinity. They are unconventional comedy westerns, the first one being my favorite of the two.

 

Paths of Glory (1957). Tubi. Kirk Douglas was pretty good in this anti war theme film.

 

Mr In-Between (2001). Amazon Prime. Damn, what a disturbing ending. I got teary-eye there, for Jon. I wished the ending was more like Nobody. Well worth the 99 cents I paid on Prime.

 

The Prestige. AppleTV. Had to watch that ending three times.

 

Nanook of the North (1922). Max. Re-watched the classic documentary. In the first class of films inducted into the US National Film Registry in 1989.

The Witch (2015). Max. Meh, nothing exciting nor innovation added to the witch story. Acting was good, story was boring.

 

Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Peacock. Completed S7, on to last season.

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). Tubi. Catching up on some classics. Cant believe I waited this long to watch it. The children were great; the little girl was an Oscar nominee.

 

Fallout
Watched episodes 1-5 over the weekend. On Episode 6 now.

 

Right in the middle of Shogun. Great entertainment, and the costumes are spectacular.

 

The Usual Suspects. Prime. A good rewatch.

Black Swan. Max. I can see how NP won her oscar.

 

The Fall of the House of Usher - Netflix
Fallout - Prime

 

On the Waterfront. Plex. Good acting but story, and movie, was boring for an 8-academy award winner.

The Shawshank Redemption. AMC. A Rewatch. When you’re this good, you don't get an Oscar.

 

Rear Window (1954). Prime ($3.59). A ‘fun’ Hitchcock movie. Winner of no Oscars, where the lesser-film On the Waterfront did a sweep.

 

Seems like this has always been the case. Great movie Rear Window. Great American Gen Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly, how can you go wrong.

 

The 39 Steps (1935). Max. An early Hitchcock movie and one of his favorites. Said to have created a new cinematic genre, the psychological spy thriller. To me the movie has that old movie feel to it, but it moves along well.

 

Rebel Moon 1&2
Physical 100 S2

 

Reservoir Dogs. Plex. A rewatch and as good as ever.

 

Full season of Fallout

The Terror season 1. Good watch. Not interested in the others.

 

Ace in the Hole (1951), aka The Big Carnival. PlutoTV - with lots of commercials but no apparent cuts in the film. An earlier good Kirk Douglas fllm. Preserved in the US National File Registry.

 

White Heat (1949). On Max. Stars James Cagney. In the US National Film Registry. I thought I would like it, but I didn't.

 

Top o' the world Ma!
I'm surprised you didn't like it. Need to check out his early stuff, The Public Enemy, pre code movie.


We're watching Killing Eve. Meh.

 

I didn’t know thats where that saying came from. It was a good ending. I am generally not a fan of the gangster/mafia/mob sub genre. Certainly there are many exceptions (i.e Tarantino flicks).
