If you like big broad epics Lean is the master. Bridge on the River Kwai, Doctor Zhivago, A Passage to India and Ryan's Daughter which I loved but the critics and movie goers did not.
The visuals in it were breath taking as of course is Lawrence. :coffee:

Red Queen, on Amazon. I wish it wasn't dubbed (and dubbed so poorly).
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Lawrence is dated of course - it's 60+ years old after all. Still spectacular and arab face for some of the principal actors tho Omar Sharif and Anthony Quinn not so much...Alex Guinness would be out of place today. The movie is stiff at times - Peter O'toole certainly forceful and his blue eyes out of a tanned face and bright blonde hair arresting.
The transfer is grainy at times and superb at others....bit of a western with camels. If not basically a true story would not cut it today.
Dynamic range on the visuals is superb as is the sound.
Took a while to get the picture where I was happy - I am watching on a cloudy dim day so not perfect conditions...still engaging. Part two :pop:

Done with the Vikings saga in England.
Seven Kings movie was an okay tie up for the long run.
Might have to rewatch as had some technical issues initially.

•••••••

Not a comedy fan but I like the lead and the review are stellar.


I'm glad to be shy of winter and snow but this is very nostalgic for me.
Time period too.

I really enjoyed that - decent story but amazing film tech. Guess I will watch the others.

Watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes - first in the modern series. Well done.
Tom Felton seems destined to be cast a villian after Harry Potter run as Draco.

On to the next one
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

then
War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) :pop:
