The Colour of Money. 8/10

Paul Newman was such a good actor.

You really would  punch the fuck out of Tom Cruise if he acted like that around a pool table 

Enjoyable watch.

The Road to Perdition is a criminally underrated film and Newman's performance is too.

He and his wife were supposed great people with little actual cash as they gave it away to good causes and promoted young actors projects such as films and plays.

The doors people are strange

Could have done without the daft 'actor who looked like Morrison to drive around in a car' bit,but apart from that ,boss.

8/10

Poison

 

The last of the Roald Dahl stories and my least favourite.

 

Poor Harry Pope has a krait sleeping on his stomach.

 

7.5/10 NERD or Netflix

Revenge.

 

Nods to I spit on your grave. I woman gers left for dead by a bunch of hunters in what looks like the outback. Well shot and pretty gruesome, I quite enjoyed it although the random changing of the girls hair colour was a bit annoying.

 

6/10.

One of my favourite films that. Great performance as you say.

Struggled with his good looks as well according to his Daughter. I know the feeling!

 It was all in popcorn.

 

I looked at the interweb because I seem to recall there was some legal dispute between his daughters and one of his charities.

 

He set up charity foundations and Newman's Own but he and the wife were not exactly paupers. Maybe it was like the Queen, who also didn't have much cash around.

There is due to be a documentary out about Newman and Woodward that may explain more about their philanthropic endeavours than I can.

The People vs Larry Flint 

 

Woody Harrelson at his best here. True story of the creator of Hustler who had on-going court battles over the content of his porn mag. Plenty of tits. Courtney Love is very good in it as well. I was gutted to read on Wikipedia that Larry Flint was accused of incest by his daughter and also put support behind one of his cartoonists who went to jail for sleeping with his daughter. Clearly a sick fucker in real life. Brilliant film though, some of the court scenes when he's los9ing his marbles are hilarious. 8/10

Hang on, you can look for the answers to simple questions online rather than ask on here?

 

Well I never.

Hidden Figures. 

 

A true story about the early days of NASA set in the 60' s and 3 maths geniuses who are black women  and overcome the usual misogyny and a bit of racism but go on to play a leading role in the Apollo programme. 

I enjoyed it 8/10

The Old Oak (2023)

Agreed. I’ve mentioned before that I know the story as I’ve listened to the audiobook. But, even with that taken into account, I thought it was absolutely excellent. 
 

Di Caprio and De Niro brilliantly portrayed the characters depicted in the book. The former, with an air of gullibility but just a nasty piece of work, deep down inside. And De Niro portrayed Hale to a tee based on the image portrayed in the book - a greedy, conniving, shameless bigot who right to the very end still thought he’d done nothing wrong. 
 

But, the standout for me was Lily Gladstone, I thought she played Mollie Burkhart superbly. I haven’t seen many other new releases this year but I’d be surprised if she doesn’t win best actress Oscar. Thought she was excellent in it. 
 

I liked the little bit at the end too, the novel way of summing up what happened to the main protagonists afterwards. Much better than having to speed read it via on screen text. 
 

Films have got to be really, really special to warrant a 10 on 10 from me. The running time, although it seemed to go a lot quicker than it actually was, and a few lulls were not much happened means it misses out on a 10. But, it’s better than a 9. A genuinely superb film.
 

9.4 poisoned whiskeys out of 10.
