Saving Mr. Banks--Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson. I really enjoyed this movie much more than I thought I would. Colin Farrell is really great in it too. I have an old copy of Mary Poppins that I dragged out to read. I have never read it before. Looking forward to watching this movie again.

I watched this the other night until I hadda sleep. Hanks is always enjoyable to me, as is Thompson. Right now, watching Sahara for the first time. It's fun!

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

This was the first Star Trek movie. The movie has an interesting story but it moves at a snails pace. It takes about an hour to introduce the characters from the old TV show as they drop in on by one. I think 30 minutes could have been chopped out of this and not hurt it. It's good, just slooooow.

I loved the Mary Poppins books when I was a kid :) Love the Julie Andrews movie, too.

The Grand Duel (1972) Lee Van Cleef

I bought two blu-rays in the bargain bin that have two spaghetti westerns on each disc. I watched one called The Grand Duel aka The Big Showdown. It was very good. It is Lee Van Cleef's movie all the way as he plays the bad ass, cold as ice, ex-marshal. There is nothing new here but it's a good shoot-em-up action flick. In the spaghetti westerns that I have seen, all the actors speak their own language so the movies are partially dubbed. It's kind of odd but you do get a mix of actors from all over the place in these films. The film looks pretty good (sound is not so great) so it has probably been fixed up some. When you compare the film quality to the trailer they have on the disc, there is a huge improvement.

Filth--James McAvoy, from an Irvine Welsh novel. Hm. Not sure what to say. Some parts I quite liked, but I thought the sex was overdone (got really boring instead of being shocking, as I think it was meant to be), and I couldn't quite see what the writer/director was trying to get at with McAvoy's character. He's a bad cop who apparently used to be a good cop, family issues, definite mental instability, all kind of thrown together without any attempt at a coherent storyline. I think I want to read the book to see what Welsh was doing with the character. McAvoy was tremendous (he always is), but his turn in Danny Boyle's Trance was much the better of these two films done last year.
