Thoughts on film
@ThoughtsongeoffI watch lots of films. Most of them are good. Some aren’t. They come in many shapes and sizes though (not literally, they all come in similar sized cases).

These are only my opinions. Other opinions may vary, and are equally as valid. Unless someone starts slagging off Hard Target. Those people are just plain wrong.
Dr Mabuse, the Gambler (1922): A fiendish doctor who is a master of both disguise and hypnotism relieves wealthy folk of their fortunes. A relentless detective pursues him. An excellent film with a villain that’s both very unlikeable but also very impressive. Looks fantastic too.
Assassination Games (2011): Two assassins chasing the same target for different reasons end up working together. Light on action considering it stars two of the genre’s finest, although always good to see these two on screen together. Predictable but has a good finale.
Throw Down (2004): A saxophone player and judo expert wanders around challenging folk to fights. He hooks up with a nightclub owner and a singer and they scam people and get into fights. Bizarre comedy but beautifully shot, with some brilliant fight scenes. Makes fuck all sense.
The Guns of Navarone (1961): A team of Allied soldiers attempt a dangerous mission to destroy two massive guns at the top of a cliff. Great cast and a bit more depth and thoughtfulness than some other WWII films of the era. Still has some great action scenes too.
American Shaolin (1991): After losing a martial arts battle to a narcissist, a chap goes to China to try and become a Shaolin monk. Whilst this is cheaply made, the fight scenes are excellent and it has an odd charm. Predictable but well done finale.
The Man Who Laughs (1928): The son of a murdered nobleman is disfigured and ends up working in a circus with a blind girl he loves but fears she won’t love him. The nefarious attention of the monarchy complicates matters. Brilliant performance by Veidt in a very dark romance.
Django (1966): A soldier dragging a coffin behind him saves a woman from confederate vigilantes. He then gets involved in a conflict they’re having with some Mexicans. An incredibly violent and nihilistic spaghetti western. Not quite as good as Leone’s work but still iconic.
Broken Arrow (1996): A disgruntled pilot steals a couple of nuclear warheads. His copilot and a park ranger try to stop him from blowing things up. At times feels like Woo is a bit wasted on the material but does have a few great action scenes, especially the finale on a train.
