I bought the remake on DVD. Took it back for a refund when I realised it wasn't actually True Grit, just a retread.

Watching The Equaliser at the moment. Like it.

sometimes in April,

"When the Hutu nationalists raised arms against their Tutsi countrymen in Rwanda in April 1994, the violent uprising marked the beginning of one of the darkest times in African history which resulted in the deaths of almost 800,000 people."

haunting, scary, disgusting, horrifying, and so damn sad

An old favourite once again: Batteries not included. Still a good'un.

BTW, against my better judgement, I ordered the DVD from Dick Smith, which these days is just another name for Kogan. At the same time, I ordered another DVD from a little Ebay seller. Moments after ordering, I realised that I'd slipped up and given the Ebay seller my Ballarat address, so I messaged him. He got straight back - at 9PM on a Saturday night mind you - to me saying he'd fix that up, and sure enough, it turned up in my Tasmanian letter box on Wednesday.

F*#*%#ing Kogan, on the other hand - who'd had the correct address all along - took very nearly a month to deliver a single DVD. They emailed the day after my order claiming that they had shipped it ... but no delivery for nearly a month. Simply ... they lied.

Kogan are scumbags. This is the second time I have ordered from them (the first was a couple of years ago) and the second time their delivery has been ridiculously tardy.

Never again.

Been catching up with the films on my re-watch list.

Yesterday I watched The Jericho Mile. Made in 1979. It's one of director Michael Mann's early films and worth checking out. The full movie is on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Fx7hjFnzdcI

Last night I watched the 2003 film Matchstick Men. Starring Nic Cage and Sam Rockwell. Good but not great.

Finally watched Django Unchained the other day. Wow, just WOW. Brilliant movie, can't believe I put it off for so long because I thought it'd be boring and drag on.

Then watched Green Book again, if you haven't seen it - do yourself a favour.

I haven't seen Green Book, but yeah, Django unchained is pretty damn good.

The Mechanic was on TV the other night so it was good to see it again. That's the original one from the 70s with Charles Bronson and Jan Michael Vincent.

Not a movie but there was a channel 9 doco on Ian Chappell a few nights back. I spotted it checking the TV guide and hit record, watched it tonight.

Puff piece but, the respect that people who worked and played with him have for that man is just brilliant.

There's a quote that goes something like "if you're any good you don't need to tell people, they'll tell you" That's Chappelli. He doesn't talk himself up, the people he lead do it for him.
