Saw three great movies over the last couple of days. Loved them all.
The Big Lebowski - Absolutely brilliant. I can never get tired of watching this movie, it is easily one of the most enjoyable films you can ever watch and is probably the Coen brothers at their very best. Jeff Bridges as 'The Dude' and John Goodman's performances were brilliant. My vote for movie with best dialogue ever. The dude abides.
Dog day Afternoon - Al Pacino makes this movie all his own. What a captivating performance. Wonderful screenplay too, didn't it win an oscar for it ? It should have. Brilliant insight into the mind of a criminal and the circumstances that forced him into becoming one. Great cinema.
Leon, The professional - If you like stylish, over-the-top action flicks with an emotional angle - this is probably the best of that kind there is. Slick editing and Luc Besson's directorial talent make for a visual treat. I thought Jean Reno and Natalie Portman were good but I wasn't too sure what to make of the love-angle between a middle aged hitman and a 12 year old girl. Gary Oldman does what he does best - play a crazed neurotic villain with serious psychological issues.
