* Did you watch a film last night (on Blu or DVD), and what was it? *

[TBone]

R.I.P. Tony

* He was a great filmmaker; I missed him a lot, and his brother Ridley too missed him a lot. ...They both directed Denzel and many more great actors.
Tony's style I like a lot too; freestyle, moving pictures and music. ...Great family of true artists, ...the Scott family.

Agreed, great director, even back in 1993, Anthony David Scott made rookie Q.Tarantino proud ...

Last night I revisited this ::

Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci (1987). ...A cinematic masterpiece: 96.75

* I am checking for a 3D version, on Blu, the best one.

[Ronm1]

I love 'Lucy' ... directed by Luc Besson.

It's that type of weekend, starting last night, with 'A Fistful of Dollars' (1964) ::

* Three more to go for this anthology, and only then a rating score. ...And one of them is a 4K remastered Blu-ray (individual - Good, Bad & Ugly).

- Tonight: 'For a Few Dollars More' (1965).
- And last, after 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' (1966), ... 'A Fistful of Dynamite', or 'Duck, you Sucker!', or 'Once Upon a Time... the Revolution' (1971).

And that last one from this anthology is part of 'Once Upon a Time' trilogy. ...'In the West' (1968), ...'In America' (1984).

Mine is still in the wrapper!!!

Funny story. When someone referenced this a week or so ago, I went looking for it but could not find it. Knew I had ordered it on Amazon. Checked and it said delivered but try as I might, I could not find it. Having had packages get lost before, I filed a complaint with them and they immediately shipped me another one. It arrives, I unwrap it and go to put it on the shelf of movies to watch, and there it was, my previous copy! How embarrassing. I let Amazon know and they said to keep the second copy free of charge!

Amazon is good for that. There have been a few times where I have accidentally ordered two of the same BlueRay or CD, and Amazon has said to keep it and credited me for the second copy. I guess they figure they save money by not having to physically deal with a returned disk.

Anyway, I have finally gotten around to watching Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.

Done; last night was 'Duck, you Sucker!' ...That one, and 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' are the two best ones from this 4-film anthology.
But overall it was fun to revisit those four flicks from the maestro "spaghetti westerns" 'cinemaficionado' Sergio Leone. ...And the music scores by Ennio Morricone added immensely with the actors performing their chops. ...And the close-ups and the vistas.

? Overall rating score for all four films together ('The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' was a different BR version; 4K remastered), technically and entertainment value: 85.0

If you haven't seen ? this one, you missed a good part of Leone's quadrilogy.

Last night (on Blu) ::

? Dialog-free black and white documentary directed by Godfrey Reggio and music composed by Philip Glass. ...Freestyle.

Last night ::

It's an action/comedy flick. It's ok, it's UK, it's reminiscent of a juicer with few ingredients; James Bond, Kick Ass, John Wick, and some other secret ingredient.
Overall (technical and entertainment value): 72.5

I caught the opening act of Kingsman and hope to check out the film soon.

In loo of recent fairytale like leeward gales; I'm watching this Kenneth Branagh vehicle tonight ...

 

[Ronm1]

Last night
Oceans 11
Tonight

On Leone, Bob those were enjoyable films, but I'm more of a fan of the 'Once upon a Time' tales

? Last night I watched this ::

I really enjoyed the ride. The three (four) main actors are pros, the action scenes are surgically performed, no shaky camera work here (my type of flick), ...brief I simply let myself flow with the actor's chops. ...Smoothly.

Overall technical and entertainment value for this Blu-ray: 77.5
I recommend it, no sweat. ...This is serious fun @ the movies, in your own home.

Last night ::

Borderline; tough humor, not for all taste. Still, 65.0 ...just enough to have a visit with Charlize, and the over-the-top humor.

Who am I kidding? ...You gotta see this, if you haven't already.

 

[BlueFox]

I enjoyed it, and it was just a DVD Netflix rental.

I enjoyed it, and it was just a DVD Netflix rental.

It had some funny moments, just a little forced occasionally, and casual, very.

 

[Johnny Vinyl]

Bought it when it was released on Blu-ray, but I didn't have a player at the time. Then I forgot about it! Haha! Came across it yesterday afternoon and watched it last night. I really enjoyed it.
