Hennessy (1975, Don Sharp)

Not a bad 70s political thriller, whose promotional team at the time touted Queen Elizabeth's dismissal - though her appearance figures prominently in the last third of the film. In it Rod Steiger plays a former IRA operative bent on revenge after a British soldier (inadvertently) kills his wife and child. Lee Remick joins Steiger with the Irish brogue and rounds out a cast full of illustrious British actors. It's an above average thriller streaming on APrime. There's a poor copy streaming on YouTube as well.


A hairy Patrick Stewart and Steiger

Watched Tenet in the IMAX. It was so loud I went to the usher to complain, they said it was just an extra loud movie so they couldn't do anything about it. The rest of the movie I had to cover my ears on all the action sequences. The plot is obviously very convoluted but the horrible sound mix is by now notorious, a lot of the crucial dialogue is unintelligible. If this was the movie to get people back into theatres, they made a huge blunder out of it (just technically, leaving the merits of the plot aside). Would definitely recommend to skip seeing it in the cinema and wait for the digital version with subtitles.

I’m slightly jealous - been wanting to go to the cinema since the spring! Nothing happening in NYC for the foreseeable future. And YES, IMAX films are notoriously loud. Tenet is looking like a future APrime streamer. Thanks.

Default It's too late for angels!!


The Angel Levine (1970, Ján Kadár)

Zero Mostel is an elderly Jewish tailor with a dying and a crisis of faith. In comes Harry Belafonte as a former street hustler-turned-angel who must perform a miracle in the life of a mortal in order to prove - well, I suppose that's he's worthy of wings. Based on a short story by Bernard Malamud this film is a great late 60s New York City version by Hungarian born director, Kadár; a hip parable of sorts that leaves you with a few things to consider. Recommended. Currently on the Criterion Channel but a watchable copy can be found on YouTube.

Just re-watched Cabaret, one of my all time favorite movies, still blows my mind. Such amazing performances, one of the very few musicals (along with Hair and Grease) whose music I really like. I still can't believe how Bob Fosse, who is a dance choreographer originally, managed to film it all so well. Complex, layered, moving, fun. Love it.

Stoner watching the first Captain America movie: Bro I got an idea.

2nd stoner: Is it terrible?

1st stoner: Yes.

I remember that movie being really good despite being based on an overdone rip off of Wolfenstein.
