      The Brawler

      Chuck Wepner, basically a nobody, gets a shot at Ali, who was currently the heavyweight champ, in 1975.

      Aside from Zack McGowan, who portrayed Wepner, the acting was PUTRID. McGowan did awesome, reminded me a lot of Liev Schreiber. The story was good, made you feel for Wepner yet be disappointed in him as well. It definitely connected you with the person. It's worth a look-see, I suppose, just for the story.

        Gilda:
        A small-time gambler hired to work in a Buenos Aires casino learns that his ex-lover is married to his employer.

        Rita Hayworth (obligatory hummina hummina hummina) plays her part to perfection. I really dug this movie. Deceit, love, subplots...highly recommend.

                Oddly, Gilda was just on TCM. I reviewed it last week. Wonderful film.

                      How can neither of those lists contain The Towering Inferno nor Earthquake?!?

                            12 Angry Men is a rare classic that gets even better when viewed through a 21st century lens. Most movies lose a bit of their shine in modern context, particularly when you consider the sexual norms of the day (Connery Bond forcing himself on anything in a skirt, for instance).

                                Speaking as someone who likes all the Terminator films in some capacity (and obviously to various levels) this looks good. I think people need to calm down about how this looks so much better than the other films based on this trailer...it looks exactly like them outside of having Hamilton in it and Cameron listed as producer.

                                I am in for it.
