Song of Georgy Girl is one of my favorite and I occasionally hear the music in my head pretty much on a weekly basis!

I love Judith Durham's accent as she sings - <exaggeration> "Hey thah, Georgie gel ..." </exaggeration> - it fits the song so perfectly. But I love her voice and stage presence, so I'm biased.

Watched Marlowe (1969) last night, an OK private eye flick adapted from a Raymond Chandler story ("Little Sister"). Marlowe is played by James Garner and the film also co-stars Rita Moreno and Carol O'Conner. But lo and behold, a half hour into the movie I'm shocked:
Enter The Dragon- Bruce Lee
Not listed in the opening film credits, Lee walks into Marlowe's office and offers $500 cash to Marlowe to drop his investigation of a murder case. When Marlowe refuses to accept the money, Lee goes Kung Fu crazy, trashing the office. He kicks holes in the door and walls with his feet. He karate chops the furniture in half. He knocks out the ceiling chandelier with a flying kick. He then tells Marlowe he better consider the offer and leaves the decimated office
Later, at a hotel ballroom, the two meet again. Lee persuades Marlowe to come out to the balcony and asks Marlowe to quit the case. Again Marlowe refuses. Lee goes into his offensive mode, forcing Marlowe to the railing with sweeping leg kicks. Marlowe says "You're pretty light on your feet. Are you gay?" Lee is now angry and charges Marlowe, who sidesteps. Lee goes over the railing and plummets 20 stories to his death
Man, that's all kinds of wrong

I first saw this when I was about 11...always thought the Masters of Death were a bunch of morons to get dispatched so easily but the head that got split by a sword had me giggling for weeks on end. And I also used to imitate scenes like this with a broomstick. Then came Steven Seagal....   |

Way back in the earlier pages of this thread I watched and reviewed all the Lone Wolf and Cub movies (7 If I remember correctly). Highly recommended even for those who are newcomers to that genre |

I watched The World on a Wire.  An adaptation of the novel Simulacron-3, which was later adapted into The Thirteenth Floor. Could perhaps be seen as the inspiration for any number of sci/fi films that make you question if reality is real. The Matrix, Existenz, Inception. Even Total Recall (inspired by Dick's "We can remember it for you wholesale") loosely falls into this category. And now I'm wondering if the world is real. How would I know? My perceptions are all I can rely on. And if they lie... |

Mean Streets (1973)  Underrated Martin Scorsese mob film and his earliest. Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro have great on screen chemistry together. De Niro gives an outstanding performance as the arrogant and often unlikeable Johnny Boy and he has some great lines as well. It sounds like Scorsese actually narrates the inner monologue for Keitel's character Charlie in a couple scenes whose inner conflict is the main focus of the story. The movie has a very candid feel to it and some of the editing seems pretty inventive for the time. The soundtrack is excellent and the score fits each scene perfectly. Fantastic and intense ending. A must see for fans of the gangster genre.

Some recently viewed movie quckies:
Elephant Boy (1937) Sabu- Without Sabu, would we have ever seen DC comics Bomba The Jungle Boy in the Silver Age. And if not, where would we be now? I shudder to think...just sayin'...
Mickey One (1965) Warren Beatty- Stand Up comic gets in trouble with the mob and lives on the lam for a few years. Warren Beatty sucks at portraying a comedian. Took him 7 movies before he hit fame in Bonnie and Clyde two years later, also directed by Arthur Penn
Mutiny On The Bounty (1935) Charles Laughton, Clark Gable-Between the versions done by Brando and Mel Gibson, this is by far the best. Gable is pretty good but, my god, Charles Laughton as Captain Bligh is unforgettable. In many ways he reminded me of Richard Nixon (or actually the other way around). |

A Great movie, a terrible movie. The bad first
Battle Cry (1955) You'd think a Technicolor, wide screen, 21/2 hour long movie named Battle Cry starring Aldo Ray, Van Heflin, James Whitmore, Fess Parker and more about WWII Marines would have some action in it. Not this one. Its more about the women of the servicemen, left at the homefront or station camp. Mona Freeman, Nancy Owen, Dorothy Malone and Anne Francis missing their boyfriends is the bulk of this flick. No battle action until the final 25 minutes. That's a long time to wait and not worth it
Bottle Rocket (1996) Fantastic debut from Wes Anderson directed by him and co-written with Owen Wilson. Some emotionally challenged young guys who have seen too many heist movies decide to try a robbery of their own. Great acting and dialogue. Great quirky humor. And you get James Caan thrown into the bargain.

Gable is pretty good but, my god, Charles Laughton as Captain Bligh is unforgettable. Indeed he is. Though I was an adult before I saw his performance in "Mutiny," he was familiar to me and others of my generation thanks to the marvelous caricatures featured in the Warner Bros. cartoons:
IMHO, Anthony Hopkins was also devastating in the role.
