Most recent batch, from amazon as usual:
"War Games", Badham film from the 80's, with Matthew Broderick, mainly for my son
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" , also with Broderick, because till now I've only had a grim french-dubbed second-hand VHS to watch ( I live in France ).
"A Good Year" soppy and majorly-flawed, self-indulgent but curiously appealing, ( aswell as irritating ! ) film by Ridley Scott featuring Russell Crowe, and the south of France! ( and a small dither about a big lifestyle change, which is where I'm at, but painfully, right now, so ... )
"American Gangster" by Ridley Scott and featuring Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington, with great face-to-face at the end, much better than Pacino and De Niro in "Heat", in my opinion anyway! ( Has anyone seen Mann's film "Collateral" with Cruise? That's a surprising and strange film; whereas I didn't find "Heat" very interesting at all ).
"3:10 From Yuma" by Mangold ( ? ), featuring Russell Crowe ( you can tell I have a bit of a mini-special-interest-in-a-filmstar going on here, [ I love "Gladiator" and "Master and Commander" ], for the first time in ... well, at least a year!
) ... this one hasn't arrived yet ...
Plan to order "Synecdoche New York" by Charlie Kaufmann next, ( from amazon ) when the price has dropped!
