The Wind and the Lion (1975)
Action from Beginning to End
Director John Milius can do an action movie with the best of them. Sean Connery and Candice Bergen are wonderful, as is the rest of an outstanding cast that includes John Huston as Secretary of State John Hay and Brian Keith as President Theodore Roosevelt. I saw it in the theatre when it first came out and although I own the DVD, it is still a great treat when I can catch it on the tube.
Sure it is historically inaccurate, most notably because Pedecaris was a man and no children were involved, but it is still great fun. Keith's Teddy Roosevelt captures the spirit of the great man and the story takes you back to the beginning of the Great American Century with an adventure worthy of the viewer's time.
Poirot: The ABC Murders (1992)
Outstanding!
Well crafted adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic and David Suchet shines once again in a great performance as the Belgian detective. I watched this outstanding version after suffering through the dreadful new John Malkovich offering. Just as Jeremy Brett was, and still is, the perfect Sherlock Holmes, so is David Suchet the one and only Hercule Poirot. Here we learn simply being John Malkovich isn't close to being Poirot!
The ABC Murders (2018)
As bad as many of reviews indicate.
This is a bust. Dark and slow and not true to the original Christie story. Don't waste your time!
Open Range (2003)
It's a real western!
What more can you say? It's a good story, a great cast, and a well crafted film. Michael Jeter is marvelous, Robert Duvall owns this type of role, and Coster pulls it altogether. If you like an old fashioned western, this film will suit you just fine. There is something wonderful in seeing justice served.
Casablanca (1942)
Simply the greatest ever!
What more could you ask? A great cast, a wonderful story and fabulous screenplay put together with the outstanding work of director Michael Curtiz and you simply have the best film ever made.
The Natural (1984)
The stuff that dreams are made of!
It is a classic and alongside Field of Dreams one of the two greatest baseball fantasy movies of all time. The cast is outstanding and the story pulls you in each time you happen upon it.
