I saw the 4th of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, On Stranger Tides.

I was a bit surprised to see a cameo appearance from Anton Lesser and even more surprised by a cameo appearance from Judi Dench.

I hvae yet to see this, The first Pirates of The Caribbean was excellent, thankfully the awful performances by Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley didn't harm the film, 2nd film was very good and the 3rd film was ok but was ruined by giving Keira's character a bigger part in the film, Will and Elizabeth might have been  better characters had they gotten 2 actors that could actually act

Shinobi no Mono 2 (1963) 8/10

I watched The Informer (1935). It starred Victor McLaglen as a drunken hulk of a man informing on a friend, being given £20 for his betrayal. He had intended to give it to his girlfriend so that they could emigrate from Ireland to the States, but fritters it away.

One of John Ford's Irish films but far more serious than The Quiet Man. McLaglen was of course also in that as John Wayne's opponent in the famous fighting scene.

The Informer was McLaglen's best film and he and the film got Oscars.

The film is stylish, but Odd Man Out is the better film.

The Holy Innocents (Los santos inocentes) (1984) 8/10

Shinobi no Mono 3 (1963) 7/10

I resaw after many years The Fallen Idol (1948). The film starred Ralph Richardson and Bobby Henrey as the young boy who is effectively the lead.

The screenplay was by Graham Greene from one of his stories.

The film is a minor British classic from Carol Reed though not as famous as his previous film Odd Man Out or his next The Third Man.

Wolf (2013) 9/10

Filth (2013) 6/10

No Man's Land (Wu ren qu) (2013) 8/10

Mystery (Fu cheng mi shi) (2012) 6/10

I resaw Fantasia (1940). Exceptionally artistic merger of animation and classical music and outstanding achievement by the technical standards then available.

No (2012) 8/10

Everybody Has A Plan (Todos tenemos un plan) (2012) 6/10

I resaw The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill And Came Down A Mountain (1995) which must be a contender for the British film with the longest title. A gentle whimsical film and a bit reminiscent of some of the Ealing comedies.

Underworld Beauty (Ankokugai no bijo) (1958) 8/10

Few Of Us (1996) 8/10

August: Osage County (2013) 6/10

Passion (Szenvedely) (1998) 8/10

The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (2013) 5/10

The original Walter Mitty film was one of my Dad's favourite films.
