watched a wee indie movie the other night when i couldn't sleep called Mississippi Grind, pretty random but for some reason i really enjoyed it, ben Mendolson and Ryan Reynolds worked well together, worth a watch.

Kermode on the BBC gave it a great review. Mendehlson is a brilliant actor.

Last night I watched All Is Lost.  Great performance by Robert Redford. Like a modern take on The Old Man and the Sea.

Saw Creed tonight. Great show. A fresh take on the Rocky saga but some nice echoes of the old films too.

Have you seen Southpaw yet? Very good I thought.
Must give Creed a watch soon. Did it have the Rocky music? I'll be very disappointed if it doesn't.!

Watched Glory again late last night. Some film. Scene at the end where the regiment approaches the beach very powerful.

Saw the new National Lampoons vacation movie last week. Okish. Not a patch (understandably) on the originals.

An absolutely brilliant film. Denzel was amazing even back then.

It's a great film. You say this about Miller's Crossing and have The Jackal in your top films  Richard Gere as Declan Mulqueen

The original or the one with Gere? The original film with James Fox is a classic in fairness.... not in my top 20 but still a decent film and very much of it's day

He won an oscar for that role. It started my life long love affair with Denzel.

I loved the day of the jackal, but I was on about the Gere one and I never let his accent get in the way of me enjoying that film.  Anyway, I could do a different top 5 today, could probably narrow it to a top 50.

Don't get me wrong, I love it too. But it is f**king dreadful. "That's right, they drink Guinness in Ireland, don't they?"

The scene where he is getting whipped and the tear starts dripping down his face is class. Going to have to watch it again.
