Movie recommendations

[Main Street]

Dolomite is my name on Netflix wasn't to bad. Quite entertaining in places being based on a true story. Eddie Murphy is a class act in it.

A very enjoyable film and Eddie Murphy's performance was the film. The Front Page cinema scene was a stand out.

Thought The Irishman was pure shite. Didn't like it at all. Over long, not a compelling story and little if anything in the way of character development.

Nowhere near as good as goodfellas. It will still probably get loads of oscars.

I won't be in a hurry to see it because of De Niro. He is a brutal actor. I struggle to remember a movie he was good in.

Damned if I know why Jackie Brown got such a high score. All I saw was people sitting in diners talking, plus a bit of half interesting action near the end.

Went to see The Irishman last night.  First off, I have read the book "I heard you paint houses" and I was very excited for this film.  A word to the wise, don't bring your lady friend to see it... they wont thank you for it.  It's slow and it is too long.  It's the first time in quite a while that I have seen people get up and leave half way through or even just fall asleep.

Having said all that, I did enjoy it.  I enjoyed the acting.  I enjoyed seeing these legends back on screen and interacting again in a mobster film.  I enjoyed seeing the story I had read come to life.  Yes, it is certainly no Goodfellas.

The killing scenes are quick, cold and brutal. Fascinating.

On a side note I thought Stephen Graham was excellent again.

In fairness, you didn't say he wasn't good in any films, but the struggle must go on.

I haven't seen The Irishman so can't comment on it but there can't be many better actors around. Everything he does is excellent. I watched a film recently called the The Man with the Iron Heart in which he played Himmler, again top-notch.

Re De Niro, really enjoyed him in Midnight Run.

The book is a direct witness and gives account to major headlines of post WW2 American history, the rise of trade unions, the enigmatic Jimmy Hoffa, the Mafia, Cuba, Castro The Bay of Pigs, Bobby Kennedy, JFK/Dallas  After the Hoffa hit, the Mafia as it was known was eventually dismembered  by the FBI. 
The Goodfellas might well be a better film even a classic, but essentially that story is just about three scúmbag gangsters with little significance in the scheme of things outside of the heist and Jimmy's partiality to gruesome murder being the solution for all ailments.

Fair enough. He's shite too. Actually, I've never heard of him
