They never tell you what you need to know.
I watched “The International” 2009 the other day. What a good movie. Clive Owen is pissed off from the beginning to end which just makes it more intense than it already is.

A very amusing western directed by Hal Needham that is basically a Roadrunner cartoon with human actors.
Some of the cast: Ann Margaret as the female lead, Arnold Schwarzeneger as Handsome Stranger (named for his father) as the noble but clueless guardian of Ann Margaret's character, Kirk Douglas as the villain, Paul Lynde as Nervous Elk, chief of the tribe that oversees everything.
Like the coyote, Douglas demonstrates amazing durability as he is hit by a train while glued to the crossing, run over by the giant boulder he unleashed, fell of a cliff while watching Ann-Margaret bathe, and a host of other disasters. A very funny movie for any of you who enjoyed the Roadrunner and the Three Stooges.
A Good Year is OK, but there are about 15 better Ridley Scott movies.
On the Russell Crowe theme, Master and Commander - great movie, one of my ATFs.
Tom Cruise as an Irish mob hit man during the Great Depression. A really intelligent film with themes of family relationships and the fruits of wrath. Surprisingly good watch.
Alan Arkin has never been better.

Squeaky clean police officer is recruited by the DEA to be a full time undercover drug dealer. From the DEA to the dealers to the courts & politicians, they’re no heroes in this one.

My pick for the pic people need to see is the black and white original version of "The Bad Seed". The audience in the theater went nuts when I first saw it 60 years ago when the antagonist dies, cheering, clapping and whistling. The antagonist is a pretty little blonde girl, aged 9. The only character I can think of as evil as her is the bad guy in dirty harry.

And props, kudos, to those of you who tried to include stripper scenes. I think we could put together a list of (a) movies that have unreasonably Hollywood-ized portrayals of working girls and cardboard-cutout predictable plots ("Showgirls" 1995, "Gigi" 1958) and another list of (b) movies that actually get the concept.
BTW Mr. Roberts was great, and another probably not so well known movie any more check out “The Sand Pebbles” with Steve McQueen, that’s a first class action movie as well.

“I’m Here” with Billy Crystal, and Tiffany Haddish, it’s also a bit of a rom-com, about a May-December romance, it’s a sweet funny, sad, story, but it was good. Maybe a bit too much of a chick flick but still I enjoyed it.
2. At the end, each of the actors comes out and takes a little bow, like in a play. Never saw that in another movie I think the whole point was to dispel any impression that the actor who played the titular role was a monster IRL
