Any opinions/reviews about The Honeymoon Killers, Red River, Little Big Man or The Silent Partner yet?
I absolutely loved
Little Big Man, and
The Silent Partner. The former for it's wonderful bittersweet mixture of humour and tragedy (Hoffman's comic timing is a joy) and the latter for the intriguing game of wits (and nerve) between Gould and Plummer. I totally underestimated Gould's character in that one.
Unfortunately The sound on the
Honeymoon Killers UK disc is rubbish and I couldn't sit through the film. For my sins I ended up trading it in, but may well pick up an R1 disc in the future.
Red River was a pleasant surprise (for someone who likes the violent Spaghetti's of the 60's and 70's). Moves like gang busters for the first fifteen minutes, then settles into this sweeping epic that's really all about the little things, like male pride, friendship and determination. Great characterisation, and wholly satisfying conclusion. A keeper for sure.
Haven't written much recently because I've met a really nice lady, and we've been spending a lot of time together going out for meals and to the cinema. Her name's Kathy, she's Canadian, and most importantly, she likes movies (she introduced me to
Better off Dead the other night, and I showed her the original
The Hitcher). Times are good
