I’ve got a 4 day weekend so I’ve set up movie nights for each day:

Friday: The Ruthless Four (1968) and The Yakuza (1974)

Saturday: Adios Sabata (1971) and Busting (1974)

Sunday: Both the seventies Sinbad Films ;D

Monday: Death Rides a Horse (1967) and The Grand Duel (1972)

Good line up, not sure on the Sinbad ones though ;D.

Childhood faves of mine. Have not seen them in a long time.

Top stuff, FJ. Never seen Busting, mind you. The Yakuza I haven’t seen since I was a lad, I might even acquire myself a copy to watch when my own LCTV challenge ends. I fancy it again now you’ve mentioned it.

If I was going to sit down to Golden Voyage AND Eye of the Tiger, I’d have to find room in there for (the original) Clash of the Titans too. I’d probably have to wear a toga (bedsheet) and sandals while I watched it all though. Not that Sinbad wears togas mind, but, you know, Zeus and all that. I just think Harryhausen scans better when you’re wearing a bedsheet. And munching on grapes. :slight_smile:

Anyways, today on LCTV:

6.30pm: FILM: Scratch (Pray, 2001)

9pm: FILM: Faster Pussycat… Kill! Kill! (Meyer, 1965)

I didn’t watch Faster Pussycat… Kill! Kill! last night, I swapped it out for Kingsman: The Secret Service (Vaughn, 2014). Meh. He’s a prickly gent! He’s a spunky chav! Ooh, what larks! I enjoyed the Colin Firth James Bondery, didn’t much care for Eggsy or any of what he was about, which was fairly fundamental to the plot. Nevertheless, it was fun-but-silly for two-thirds of the movie right up until MAJOR PLOT POINT, YOU’LL KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT IF YOU’VE SEEN IT, at which point it became less fun, and more silly. And more silly. And MORE silly, until it lost me altogether. The pub brawl was very good, the church brawl was superb. But Kingsman - like Kick-Ass before it, which was also directed by Matthew Vaughn and based on a comic book series by Mark Millar - skates up to that line where the sublime meets the ridiculous, and trips over it, arse over tit.

Merely IMO, like.

Saturday night was Jonah Hex

Been a fan of the character for years and had heard nothing but bad reviews of the movie. It’s not good but it was still entertaining (Josh Brolin is actually very good as the character). Perhaps because I had low expectations I was more entertained than if I’d watched it when I first came out. Lots of potential there - pity they couldn’t live up to it.

Viewing Ex Machina tonight.

Methinks I’ve already seen these eyes before. Nah, probably just an impression. :wink:
