I always forget how good the film Legend is until I rewatch it. Tom Hardy as Reggie Kray is what I imagine it would be like if Tommy Shelby and Alfie Solomons had a son!

A Knight’s Tale • Director Brian Hegeland

[whatjaswatched]

The way Tom Hardy plays his characters is absolutely unhinged, and absolutely brilliant.

I can’t say I liked this film because the story was insane, and true?! Which almost makes it worse - but it was brilliantly made and the acting was obviously incredible.

The way I only found out Emily Browning was also Australian recently has me shook, because we know home girl can act, I just didn’t know she was from home.

Watching films that make me feel, not good, is something I am new to and I have to balance it with happy things. Is this normal? I’ve just noticed that my mood gets sooo affected by what I consume. Like, it took me months to get through Peaky Blinders because it was just so heavy and disturbing.

It’s easier to take those breaks with television than film, because I hate hitting the pause button. It ruins the momentum of the film, so I avoid it as much as I can. This one was rough, and I had to take a long walk after watching it to clear my head.

Anyway, Tom Hardy can do no wrong.

LA Confidential Retro Review- The Best Film Noir Since Chinatown

James Ellroy is an established author who has written a bunch of books about LA in the past, usually in the 50s or 60s. He loves this era. Which makes LA Confidential a must-read. That was an easy book to adapt to a film. The director of LA Confidential, Curtis Hanson, wasn’t as prolific as a director as Ellroy was as a writer, but he did make one masterpiece, and that’s LA Confidential, which…

Payback (1999) Directed by Brian Helgeland (and Paul Abascal?) Cinematography by Ericson Core

I watched both versions of this 70's-inspired neo-noir film starring Mel Gibson for the first time tonight.

I'm surprised to see that apparently quite a few people prefer the Director's Cut, but I can't see why. The theatrical version had a smarter, more interesting finale and Kris Kristofferson. The Director's Cut removes all of that and replaces it with a short train station shootout and somewhat-abrupt ending. They also removed/changed some lines just to make Gibson's character meaner. It's a bit strange.

I loved the theatrical version, though. Definitely one I'd recommend, but unfortunately you'll have a hard time finding that version officially since they've apparently never released it on Blu-ray or digitally outside of the UK.
