LOGAN (2017)
LOGAN (2017)
Today I accompanied my usual cinema-going companion to a Civil Court where she was attending a Tribunal as an appellant. She was clearly exhausted by the process so afterwards I treated her to coffee & cake then a visit to the cinema followed by a meal, all to take her mind off things. Don't worry, I'm not about to review the case, coffee, cake or meal. In the coffee house she settled on "LOGAN" for the film. She's an X-Men fan and although I'm not generally a superhero film fan I do like the Wolverine films along with the Thor movies and the first Kick Ass film, so I was happy with her choice. I enjoyed 'Logan' very much, a very grim take on the ageing and decline of Wolverine, now just Logan, a man crippled by guilt and regret as much as illness, who is on the run from the authorities and protecting a senile and sick Professor Xavier. The core of the story is Wolverine's reluctant attempt to protect a little girl with 'mutant' abilities who is also on the run. It's the only super-hero film where I've choked up at the end. More of a grown-up film even than most mainstream films and no easy denouement. My companion enjoyed it too and I'm glad. As I said, it was her choice so it's good she wasn't disappointed. No point taking a distressed lass to a film she doesn't want to see nor to one she doesn't enjoy. 'Logan': Very much recommended whether or not you're a superhero fan. In three words, all-round excellence.

Spotlight. The story of the Boston Globe's exposure of sexual abuse of children by Catholic clergy in the Boston area. Compelling and gut-wrenching.
How the Catholic Church can still pretend to any moral authority is beyond me. |

La Strada (1954)
Trailer Gelsomina (Giulietta Masina) is a care-free girl and not particularly skilled. After the death of her sister Rosa, who was on the road with the showman Zampanò (Anthony Quinn), she is sold by her mother to the same showman for 10.000 lire. Zampanò is a street performer who entertains the crowds by breaking an iron chain bound tightly across his chest. He teaches Gelsomina to play the snare drum, the trumpet, to dance and clown for the audience. Though she likes her job, Gelsomina is very unhappy with Zampanò's brutish attitude, obstinacy and lack of fondness. Determined to leave Zampanò, she's persuaded by Il Matto (Richard Baseheart) to stay with Zampanò. Il Matto is something of an old business rival and even though he loves to tease Zampanò, it's never ill-intentioned. But Zampanò, the humorless boor he is, hates Il Matto which leads to a tragedy and the eventual demise of everyone involved. |

Silkwood (1983)
Trailer Karen Silkwood (Meryl Streep) works at a plutonium processing plant owned by the energy company Kerr-McGee in Oklahoma. She makes plutonium fuel rods for nuclear reactors where she and her colleagues deal with the threat of exposure to radiation. As there's indication that the company is putting its workers at great risk because it has fallen behind on a major contract and thus requiring employees to work long overtime hours, Karen decides to become active in the union and do something about the safety violations at the plant. But this comes at great cost as she's purposefully contaminated and bullied by the company. |

Here is a movie I saw from Netflix today. The 2016 production of Blair Witch a sequel to the original Blair Witch Project film of 1999. This film has several college age men and women with digital camers and video cameras, camping equipment and electronic flying drones going to the forest in Maryland near the small town of Burkittsville where a similar group had gone in 1994, but who subsequently disappeared and were believed to be dead. Virtually the same thing happens to this group. They are killed off one by one by an unknown, unseen attacker in the dark near their campsite and at an old rundown abandoned house they find in the woods, which was the same house where the remaining members of the first group disappeared. There are no surprises in this film. It is not scary in the least and not suspenseful either. This is very pointless and disappointing. There are many fine writers out who can write scary screenplays for a really good scary movie, but more often than not the movie studios take an older film and keep making remake after remake ad nauseam. |
