Classic film lover, esp. Westerns/noir/70's. If I don't see it, I don't tweet it.
Remember that I don't have to show no stinkin' badges...

#Lizards in film always seem to be silently judging us, symbolizing our choice of technology over Nature:
#Godzilla (‘54);
#SilentRunning (‘72);
#TheTerminator (‘84);
#BadLieutenantPortOfCallNewOrleans (‘99)

Good to see Rihanna picked up the Quicker-Picker-Uppers as her backing crew for the Super Bowl halftime show.
Bounty-full…

[G.A.(Gary) Leroux @gnureview]

Just watched #LineOfDuty (‘19), and not proud of it. Like an AI-generated a script of a disgraced cop solving a kidnapping by purposely tipping his hand via vlog—idiot plotting rules the day…

2 regrets: time I’ll never get back + no double-up on the Netflix thumbs down button.

@MoreMovies4U Shmenges forever! #TheShmengesTheLastPolka

Lumet/Mamet/Newman’s brilliant #TheVerdict (‘82) is my favourite legal drama and marks the end of Hollywood’s greatest era.

a perfect film

@Roderick_Heath Gus the tortoise, another strong, silent type, also just turned 💯. Sometimes slow and steady actually does win the race. https://t.co/f6ZPdg0oKm

@MFWCollins @KLamrock Come on now, his first and only language is American/‘murican.

@Roderick_Heath #BlameItOnRio is the worst movie that I’ve seen twice (shame on me).

Michael Caine is one of those actors who have been in films ranging in quality from alpha to omega—thankfully more of the former than the latter.

@poitrasCBC I hope small nuclear reactors are as promising as salt-water fusion.

@Roderick_Heath I think I can guess the great esteem with which you hold 1980’s #Xanadu.

[G.A.(Gary) Leroux @gnureview]

@Tico_Romao John Huston, like Howard Hawks, made a series of excellent manly man films while being manly. Huston doled out a big helping of desperation and failure, giving a real edge that could move from darkly comic to uncomfortably tragic (ie #TheMisfits ´61, #FatCity ´72).

Where coal miners dare…

[G.A.(Gary) Leroux @gnureview]

It’s ironic that some of my favourite films (#MASH ‘70, #McCabeAndMrsMiller ‘71, the aforementioned #TheLongGoodbye ´73, #Nashville ´75 and #ThePlayer ´92) are all excellent examples of the very genres they take down. Robert Altman blazed his own trail…

“There’s an air of exhaustion to ‘The Long Goodbye,’” writes @SeanMBurns, “which drops Marlowe -- an avatar of Hollywood’s most romantic myths – into a washed-out wasteland of shallow, avaricious sociopaths.” https://t.co/JluoBljDJV

@JohnnyLeroux1 I think the raised door is meant to repel the Vikings.

Charles Bronson in #DeathWish set the blueprint for the last 17 Liam Neeson films…

[G.A.(Gary) Leroux @gnureview]

@Roderick_Heath I’ve argued before that Rafelson’s #FiveEasypieces (‘70) is (along with Romero’s #NightOfTheLivingDead ´68) the most influential film for subsequent lower budget independent pictures. It’s influence and sensibility are everywhere.

Now that the late Norm MacDonald has left this mortal coil I have no interest in the ESPYS—that said, giving the Arthur Ashe Award to Kiev mayor and retired HW champ #VitaliKlitschko is good to see. He referred to Ali and Mandela, literal and figurative fighters both.

[G.A.(Gary) Leroux @gnureview]

@FilmIntuition @dvdnetflix Here a fine neo-noir 70s thriller for those who consider #DieHard a Christmas movie that isn’t called called #TheFrenchConnection (‘71): #TheSilentPartner (‘78).
