Sweet Smell of Success (1957)

1957 | Drama, Film-Noir

9.0

Movie Favorite

"Perhaps the noirest of noir films, and for my money one of the three best American films of the postwar period (the others being Some Like It Hot and Sunset Boulevard). Featuring amazing performances from Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis, and a knife-edge bitterness rare in any Hollywood film, it is at once a tribute to nighttime New York City and a devastating portrait of the power of a big-time columnist like Walter Winchell."

I was quite happy to see a new series of the Twilight Zone suddenly appear. With Jordan Peele in charge and appearing as the Narrator as well. Overall the episodes are quite good with some top Hollywood actors starting in each episode. Some of the stories are good. A couple of them were a bit weak. Overall a good venture into the Twilight Zone.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Waiting for the Barbarians (2020) in Movies

Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)

In an age of action-packed Hollywood blockbusters it’s a refreshing change to have a movie that you can relax with, Waiting for the Barbarians is very much that sort of film, the opening sequence with its lovely landscape shot as a horse-drawn carriage travels across the arid land to an outpost in the middle of nowhere looks great and this does set us up for the cinematography that persists throughout the film.

Detective Zach Jordan works for NYPD Red. A distinct branch of the NYPD that is in charge of cases involving the rich and famous He's about to het a new partner and a new case all in the same day. The new partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald is an old lover The new case comes at the start of Hollywood on the Hudson, where the L.A. elite come to examine movie making in New York City. So people in the T.V./movie business will be everywhere.
The Good News: NYPD Red will be busy.
The Bad News: They have a serial killer on their hands.

The first murder is at the Regency Hotel. A movie producer takes a nose dive into his breakfast plate. Not long after arriving on the scene, do they get a call for a murder at Silvercup Studios....and the day begins.

Will they find the killer before half of Hollywood is dead in NYC?

I'm a big James Patterson fan, and this book didn't have as much Umph to it that the Cross or Women's Murder Club books do.

One of the best films ever made. The pairing of surrealist director Michel Gondry and funny man Jim Carrey is breathtaking. Jim Carrey made us all laugh with his 90's greats but this film was his letter to the world that he wasn't just a one dimensional actor and had legitimate acting chops. This film is packed with Hollywood stars, but the glare of the Hollywood 'look' is nowhere to be found. Gondry cast these actors into such unique, honest roles that allowed them to give the best performances of their lives. The Cinematography is superb and the special effects are a throwback to the days where the green screen wasn't so all encompassing. This allowed the actors to become completely submerged in their roles and help drive their award winning performances. Eternal Sunshine is beautiful and quirky and the way all films should be shot, acted and directed; with honesty, with passion. Eteranl Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the greatest love story of our future. 10/10.
