Revisiting some movies:

Finished up The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, theoretically the third in the Sergio Leone 'Man With No Name' trilogy - but really has nothing to do with the previous two - except that Clint Eastwood dons the familiar poncho at the end. Still, an excellent watch - probably the best of the three, with a twisting storyline, epic segments and that killer theme. It's been so long that I only remembered the 3-way face-off at the end.

next, it was Christmas in February when I found Howard Hawks' Hatari! (Danger in Swahili) back available on one of my streaming platforms (Prime). This fabulous John Wayne movie works amazingly well on every level - raw and visceral excitement, a script that is light and funny, and comedid performances that don't try too hard to be funny. A true Gem.

Next was vintage eye candy Raquel Welch in Hannie Caulder, a revenge lick that's fairly short (125 minutes) with a straightforward throughline. Welch continued to ripen as an actress, but Robert Culp is outstandng as her mentor.

Revisited a couple of movies today:

First, Blood Simple, the debut feature from the Coen Brothers, a very well-received straight forward tale of deception and murder in a small Texas town. Gory and morbid at times, there is little humor as this tale unfolds. No matter what the billing says, M. Emmet Walsh steals this show.

Next was Sabata, a western starring Lee Van Cleef. It's a spaghetti western with well-blended action and humor. The strange shifting motivations of secondary characters don't detract from the mayhem. It's no Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but it's enjoyable, and Lee Van Cleef is a strong presence in any film.

2 1/2 movies:

Revisited John Woo's film Broken Arrow starring John Travolta and Christian Slater. A good watch, with many trademark Woo stylish shootouts (but no birds?). The script can be a little trite, using worn out catch phrases, but it's a good action/suspense flick.

Next up, a first viewing of the excellent Squadron 303: The Battle of Britain, the story of Polish pilots fighting in the RAF. The CGI aerial warfare is top-notch, and though the story veers towards cliches, it never embraces them. Awesome flick!

Next, I'm halfway through what I believe is my first viewing of Fire Birds (1990) starring Nicolas Cage and Tommie Lee Jones. Great actual aerial scenes (pre CGI), with great performances and a fairly predictable 'romance' as a backdrop. Looking forward to finishing it up later.

Neighbours It's like really badly made click bait on YouTube. Unfortunately, this show wasn't a YouTube upload . HBO created it.
