The Ballad of Cable Hogue - Good lighthearted Peckinpah here, starring Jason Robards as an ornery old coot, and Stella Stevens sporting the best tits in screen history outside of Bardot in Contempt. Great supporting cast in this nonsense western, and a funny David Warner as a horny preacher.
Shampoo - Still my favorite movie. Warren Beatty co-stars with his hair, and the goddess Julie Christie makes me randy. Jack Warden is a riot, and in the 24 hours the film covers, Beatty has sex 6 times I think. Viva old Hollywood.
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - this flick from last year was hyped as Sidney Lumet's swan song, but it's not that good. I Blame Ethan Hawke. Kudos for many shots of a nude Marisa Tomei, who looks delicious. Lumet's best recent movie is still Q&A with Nick Nolte's best role ever, and the funniest race dialog outside a Larry David sitcom.
In the Mood For Love - loved it when I saw it in the theater, and it sill holds up. Wong Kar Wai can direct the fuck out of a movie, and slinky Maggie Cheung is a stone fox. The lead is Tony Leung, the best actor of my lifetime hands down given his diverse catalog. A great movie for those who love cigarettes too.
Wild Bill - I dug this 1995 western based on Dexter's Deadwood and will watch it tonight when it finishes downloading. Jeff Bridges stars with honey Ellen Barkin as Calamity Jane.
