Addicted to cinema since I could crawl. Love watching, talking about, reading about and writing about movies. So, yeah, that's more or less it.

Gene Hackman starred in Nic Roeg’s all but forgotten Eureka. It’s a fascinating precursor to There Will Be Blood. I saw it as a poetry-loving teenager & Hackman introduced me to Robert Service’s beautiful poem The Spell of The Yukon which he partly recites at the end. I’ll post a link underneath.

It’s the birthdays of Al Lettieri, Abe Vigoda & Dominic Chianese (seen here with the influential acting teacher Lee Strasberg). I miss the days of American cinema when you had wonderful character actors with interesting faces populating the casts of movies like Godfather 1 & 2.

Still mulling on Brando’s performance in Missouri Breaks. He’s a despicable psychopath but he’s also this mercurial wry observer of an absurd universe. He foregrounds not only his performance - Is his Irish accent his “real” accent? - but his boredom with performance- the weightlessness of it.

Flight Risk is really dumb. The direction is rickety as hell, some of the humour lands nicely but there is also some excruciatingly bad comic relief in here. Best element is Wahlberg's intensely sadistic weirdo assassin, but he doesn't get much to do. Forgettable but bizarrely attention-holding

Ewen Bremner is 53. Trainspotting 2 didn’t make the same impact as its predecessor but how could it? Nevertheless, I think it’s an extremely touching film because of Bremner. Spud pulls himself out of his addiction through art: by writing his autobiography & making a Möbius strip of the two films.

Creative, funny, sad and inspiring movie about the search for happiness through extrinsic means when maybe happiness is more complicated than that xx

I love the way Alan Parker directing Angel Heart looks exactly the same as Alan Parker committing a series of murders
