I stumbled across this on Netflix. It was not bad at all. I figured with that many known actors, it has to be decent. It is one of those feel good movies. If you have not seen it before, its worth watching if you have nothing else to watch. I thought Fords performance was really good. I really liked his character int his film.

The movie almost feels like a slice-of-life of people at the lower level of the italian mob in New York. But it was interesting and captivating nonetheless. Some things didn't age very well, but I didin't have a problem with that. And it's one of the Scorsese's first feature films with one of the earlier roles for De Niro, so it's worth watching just to see what they did in 1973.

Wow what a fantastic film this is, I thought I'd worked out the mystery about halfway through but nope I was wrong I only got like a part of it right but the fact I was wrong was a good thing, Daniel Craig puts in an excellent performance. I really wish I went to watch it at the cinema now but there's always the sequel for that.

I feel like I am the only person who did not like this film. My problem is that I had figured it all out way to early. But you are 100% right when it comes to Daniel Craig's performance. I always fancied him. Ever since he played Bond. I am however glad that you liked the film.

 

Tonight I watched the film Casino again. It is such a great film. I was scrolling through Netflix and couldn't find anything. So, I figure I would just watch it again since it is such a great film.

Yeah I can see figuring it out early would ruin the experience for you but at least you got enjoyment out of Daniel Craig's performance.

Before Parasite, there was MySassy Girl. This is one of Korea's most treasured films.  DO NOT WATCH THE AMAZON VIDEO VERSION. 

 

Buy the DVD from Amazon. 

The soundtrack on the Amazon Video version has some songs that have expired licenses so some scenes changed.. Like the songs fit so perfectly in different scenes that I didn't realize how important it was.

This movie is sooooo good. I haven't watched it in years though. If you're a fan of Jun Ji-hyun who plays the Sassy Girl. I recommend Il Mare which is a wonderful little fantasy love story. It was later remade as the Lake House with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock

C-girl--curves and a camera!
 

This titillating bit of pulp sensationalism was the last in a string of "B" films that Cleo Moore starred in at Columbia. Moore plays Lila Crane, an ambitious clip-joint floozie turned photographer with flexible morals and a penchant for fast money. Cleo Moore's next-to-last film.

And Blondie's discovery of a very pleasant secret threatens to expose her and Dagwood's marital status too.
