I’ve always wanted to see that. Guiness was also great in the dark comedy The Ladykillers - hard to believe he was the future Obi-Wan!
Seen since my last post:
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
Pretty good spy flick - Brad Bird’s first turn as a live-action director. Tom Cruise is getting juuuuust a little too old for this kind of thing, but he and the rest of the cast do well. Nice mix of action, gunplay, tricks and jokes.
Thor: The Dark World
Another fun Marvel superhero flick, although not nearly on the level of Iron Man or The Avengers. Had two nice twists about Loki that made me smile.
The Limey
A British ex-con is out for revenge in sunny L.A. after he learns his estranged daughter died under maybe-suspicious circumstances. Terrence Stamp is mesmerizing. Funky back-and-forth, nonsequential editing of scenes and dialogue that might have been annoying, but actually works well. Also, the director used scenes from a 1967 film featuring Stamp to show his character in flashbacks - very clever.
