"I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork, how have you been?"

This evening's viewing distraction - a revisit to Cusack & Driver in Grosse Pointe Blank (with the bonus of that superb soundtrack)

This evening's viewing: Queen Tilda Swinton in Orlando, adapted from the Virginia Woolf novel.

I think this was my introduction to Sally Potter's work, coming out when I was a student & the Filmhouse was broadening my #film lore (it still is).

🎬 La Haine (1995, Mathieu Kassovitz)

Shot entirely in stark black and white, this film uses monochrome as a statement, not a gimmick. The absence of color sharpens contrast, tension, and emotion, turning the banlieues into a timeless landscape of anger, silence, and inevitability. Black and white becomes the film’s moral language.

Michael Mann on his masterpiece, Heat, as it turns 30 (really?? Gods, I'm old ...) https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/dec/25/michael-mann-heat-al-pacino-robert-de-niro

Still one of my all-time top-ten movies. That cast, that cinematography, that soundtrack...

This evening's viewing, a blast from the past, early Bruce Willis comedy-crime caper Hudson Hawk. It has a "troubled" history, lots of problems, but also some daft fun moments, Danny Aiello, a bonkers Hugh Grant, & Andie McDowell as a spy-nun. Haven't seen this in decades...
