Film 16

[Blue in the Face]

Re-watched Platoon for the umpteenth time the other day and it reaffirmed its status (in my mind at least) as one of the best films of all time

Re-watched "Nixon", "JFK" and "Natural Born Killers" recently. Oliver Stone was damn good when he was good. Sadly I think Stone has lost it as a fiction director. I thought "Snowden" was poor, politically confused but somewhat interesting. Stone's "Untold history of the United States" is terrific though. His docs are much better than his fiction now...

I saw his latest film "arrival" in the cinema last night. Really good.

I caught up with it on Friday. I was a bit dissapointed knowing how good Villeneuve is. But it was still really interesting. Felt like there was some agitprop going on.

Incendies is one of the films I have listed for my lads as a Christmas present.

Maybe don't watch it on Xmas day!
