I bet he was a really great guy, yeah?"<br />"He was alright."<br />For me, that sums up the way this movie is underplayed. Beautifully shot by Urs Furrer, and an effective, sparsely-used score by Don Ellis, great acting all round. This is a minor classic of early 70s cop cinema. waldog2006https://www.blogger.com/profile/17296638431318992695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452866540649411401.post-42849006731013932112015-02-17T04:14:48.288-05:002015-02-17T04:14:48.288-05:00Thanks, I will try not to let things lapse for so ...Thanks, I will try not to let things lapse for so long.Thomas Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804326045764733280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452866540649411401.post-51951094612587406772015-02-14T02:01:27.907-05:002015-02-14T02:01:27.907-05:00Good to have you back posting bud :)Good to have you back posting bud :)Luisjo GThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16227086555633711288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452866540649411401.post-54687819972690759052015-01-20T22:37:50.403-05:002015-01-20T22:37:50.403-05:00Alanis Morissette would be proud.

Spring Breakers ranking super high makes me happy to see, and digging the love for Only God Forgives. It didn't deserve nowhere near the hate that it got, really a big shame. <br /><br />Also, Ain't Them Body Saints. No one spoke about this film really when it came out, so under appreciated. That monologue Bob delivers to the mirror about Ruth kills me.
