True Lies (1994) dir. James Cameron 🎬
Action comedy classic. Arnie does Bond. Jamie Lee Curtis elevates the whole affair, but doesn't she always? Bill Paxton is bloody hilarious. Tia Carrere and Art Malik play the perfect baddies. Cameron at the height of his powers.

Some of my happiest times as a teacher were showing Stand By Me to my Yr11 classes during their last 2 lessons with me.
I did it for decades and each class loved watching it.
Rob Reiner perfectly captured that wistful tone about childhood’s end as seen here:

I don't know why Paul Dano was the thing that finally made people turn on Quentin Tarantino, but I'll take it. Separate from being a shitty person, Tarantino is the most overrated director in the history of cinema.

RIP Adam Greenberg
He was the superb cinematographer who shot Near Dark (watch it!), Terminator 2: Judgment Day and, of course, The Terminator, which means he’s responsible for one of my favourite shots in cinema that also coined a new genre for its film:

RIP Claudia Cardinale
The beating heart of Once Upon a Time in the West. This scene in which she beautifully plays off against Jason Robards & Charles Bronson is just exquisite.
Those wonderfully expressive eyes.
