Winchester 73 (1950) 8.5/10

The Mosquito Net (La mosquitera) (2010) 7/10

Elite Squad (Tropa de Elite) (2007) 8/10

Only Human (Seres queridos) (2004) 7.5/10

I saw Madron (1970). Indifferent western with Richard Boone (who I remember from the series Hec Ramsey) and Leslie Caron as a nun. Very different from Two Mules for Sister Sara which is also a 1970 film.

I also saw Robin Hood (1991), the Patrick Bergin one which was made at the same time as the Kevin Costner RH - prince of thieves. As a result it went straight to cable in the States. The version I saw was the shorter version which is the one generally seen. It's not a bad film and is enjoyable. The film was shot in England and Wales and my ex girlfriend told me years ago that her uncle was one of the extras in the film.

Seventeen Ninja (Jushichinin no ninja (1963) 7.5/10

I saw Johhny Englsih Reborn (2011). Silly but amusing spoof of the pre-modern James Bond films.

Noah (2014) 4/10

Starbuck (2011) 7/10

Shady (Kashikoi inu wa hoezuni warau) (2012) 7.5/10

First Love: Litter On The Breeze (Choh chin luen hau dik yi yan sai gaai) (1998) 7/10

Maleficent (2014) 4/10

Pari (1995) 8/10

I watched Tron: Legacy (2010), sequel to the original made in 1982. It's quite good but what seemed to me some attempt to be as profound as Blade Runner fell well below that film.

Good music score from Daft Punk.

King & Country (1964) 9/10

Diva Bara (1949) 7/10

Godzilla (2014) 4/10

Locke (2013) 8.5/10

In Bloom (Grzeli nateli dgeebi) (2013) 8.5/10

I watched The Gentle Gunman (1952), Odd film from Ealing Studios about two brothers (John Mills and Dirk Bogarde) as IRA members set in 1941. The tone of the film is all over the place. It's not surprising that this is one of Ealing's least shown films.

Transport From Paradise (Transport z raje) (1963) 8/10

If The Father And The Son (Wenn der Vater mit dem Sohne) (1955) 4/10

The Treatment (De Behandeling) (2014) 6/10

I saw The Falcon's Brother (1942), part of the Falcon series of films. The Falcon was originally played by George Samders (as a sort of replacement to his series of The Saint films). He wanted out of the series, so he was replaced by Tom Conway. This is the transitional film where Sanders is replaced by Conway where they play brothers and were brothers in real life. Sanders was Conway's real surname.

I saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) starring James Franco, Frieda Pinto and Andy Serkis. Good film and is a reboot rather than a sequel. Directed by Rupert Wyatt who is British and this was his first big budget film. He had previously directed The Escapist which starred Brian Cox who also appears in this film. Serkis returns in Dawn, the sequel now on release.

Gunga Din (1939) 9/10

300 Miles To Heaven (300 mil do nieba) (1989) 8/10
