Calling Touch of Evil, are you watching "The Maltese Falcon" on TCM - you wouldn't want to break your streak? Watching it now, and yes, it is really good even on my 5th, 6th, 7th (?) viewing.

Watched Fury myself the other night. Honestly not very impressed by it although i tried to be because I love world war 2 movies in general. It had that sort of dark cloudy feel that Saving Private Ryan had,..and some of the acting was truly good. Brad Pitt doing a good job as a battle hardened sargent, but the film was just lacking in so many places. Lacking realism, lacking dialogue, lacking,....well,..something. [huh]

Some noir action yesterday. "Trade Wind" (1938) with Fredric March, Joan Bennett (as a blond early in the movie), Ralph Belamy and Ann Sothern. Kind of light hearted and silly in places. Not really "noir".
"I Walk Alone" (1948) with Burt Lancaster, Lizabeth Scott, Kirk Douglas and Wendell Corey.

Went to the flicker show and saw Kingsman: The Secret Service yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

In Cold Blood
First time I saw this @ base theater before shipping off to 'nam in '67.
Not the kind of movie if you are away & homesick...:eusa_doh:
I just caught the ending on TCM & it's still very chilling. So was the book.
I shoulda gone instead to see "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Finally got around to seeing American Sniper yesterday. You know, for me, it really wasn't the "great American film" that everyone has hyped it to be. I honestly found it rather average. It just didn't engage me quite like Fury did. IDK, maybe I was expecting more, but it just didn't have the conflict I was expecting. The acting though was phenomenal. I could not have casted Chris Kyle better myself. You could really feel the internal struggle of Chris Kyle torn between his love of battle and his need to return to his family. Though it differs from the book in several ways, I think Eastwood was right to allow those changes. It makes for a better film that way. Another thing I picked up on, that I noticed in Gran Torino, is Eastwood doesn't really introduce characters well. He just sorta lets them appear. It'd be nicer if Eastwood could have established the characters a little better, letting us get to know them the same way Chris Kyle did. Half the time, I didn't know somebody's name until they were already dead. I know the film is supposed to be about Chris Kyle, but it'd be nicer if we'd gotten to know the side characters better.

Since you read the book, perhaps some of it didn't surprise you---like the ending.

Rio Grande with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. One of my all-time favorite movies.
