A decent film on for once ...

One of the most celebrated moments in Sweet Smell of Success (1957) has Burt Lancaster standing on a Manhattan footpath while blissfully inhaling the petrol fumes. Throwing back his head, he declares: "I love this dirty town."

It's on Sky tonight at 10pm ...

Fantastic film noir.

No cars in it but what the hell ... the genre at its best ...

Beautifully scripted, acted and photographed ...

Well, Commando was on last night. Again, a fine example of its genre.

i.e. the "think of an excuse to get Arnie stripped down, covered in camo paint and loaded with weapons" genre?

Good fun, though!

how to jump out of a plane doing 200mph, into a swamp, and let alone not get hurt, not even get above your crackers wet!

An excellent film of the "good guy gets ed off by vermin, then goes after the scum and blasts the sh1te out of all scrotes that get in his way". This sort of film restores my faith in humanity as I watch it, the idea that scum will ruthlessly get their comeuppance. Then after the film, I calm down off the euphoric high and remind myself that in real life the lentilist laws would never allow the good guys to dish out justice in such a perfect efficient heart warming manner.

Always in a sale at HMV, chief. Get it in. Sit down and escape for an hour and a half.

"Can you please not disturb my friend. He's dead tired."

Marvellous.
