Right before "The L Shaped Room" (which I passed on since I had seen it not long ago) was another British New Wave film called "A Kind of Loving", with the wonderful Alan Bates. Like the "L Shaped Room", "Billy Liar", "A Taste of Honey", etc., etc. it's a black and white slice of working class real life in Britain in the 60's (and probably really more like the 50's). Superb performances by everyone. Very touching film.

I like that movie. My fave scene in it is when Ford's brother in law and some vets come over to protect his child from abduction by the mob after they'd mistakenly killed his wife. They don't recognise Ford at first and he practically gets killed by them before he realizes they're their to protect his little girl. I personally would've been proud to see those mobsters try and tackle battle hardened combat vets protecting a child. As one vet said.... "I've stormed places those punks wouldn't go without a tank!"

Amen.

Yeah, that was a good scene, and his Army buddies certainly would have gone to town if provoked!

"The Flying Fleet" (Silent) 1929 - Better than average 2 flyers one girl type film. First film penned by "Spig" Weed, real life Naval commander who penned many a fine naval film for Hollywood!

Green Lantern... Wow, they really botched this one. It had the potential to be a great superhero flick, but aside from a few moments that accidentally work, it's a mess. Noble Hal Jordan is nowhere to be found in Ryan Reynolds misguided performance, and the great effects work can't make up for its narrative confusion. Only the always awesome Mark Strong gives a good performance. The worst excuse for a superhero flick I've seen since, I dunno, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer or Iron Man 2...
