The Big Sleep (1946) The General, a wealthy man hires private detective Marlowe (Humbrey Bogart) to track down John Brodie who's blackmailing his daughter for $5,000. It has to do with gambling debts owed to mafia chieftain Eddie Mahrs. While it starts off as an intriguing crime drama of human motivation (why would a wealthy man be so worried over something so small as his daughter's gambling debts?) it becomes a convoluted plot filled with murder, more mafia hoods in the fray, and vintage books such as Ben Hur, 3rd edition 1860 and Chevalier, Ottoman 1840.

Something of Value (1957) Kenya, British Africa 1945. Kimani (Sidney Poitier) and Peter (Rock Hudson) were once childhood friends but are now on opposite sides in Kenya's struggle to free itself from British colonialism. Kimani has aligned himself with the militant Mau Mau faction, which doesn't feel believe the British can listen to reason and only the threat of violence and use of force will do.

The film portrays the Kenyans as barbaric while the British brought civilization to Kenya. When a baby was born feet first, Kimani's father orders the midwife to suffocate the baby because, under their religious beliefs, he is not a baby but a demon who will bring a curse to the tribe. When he is on trial for infanticide, he swears on his sacred Githathi stone that it is his duty as the chief of the tribe to kill the child. As he is in jail, he asks Kimani when he's going home, thinking the trial is just a walk in the park and having no understanding of the charges brought forth against him.

When the Mau Mau fighters raided a British diplomat's home, they kill him and his children. His wife Elizabeth was left in critical condition. They ransacked the entire house without a care in the world.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019)
I...I think I liked it?

I'm not sure...

Let me think about...

The "Home Invasion" scene had me nearly in
tears laughing despite how violent it was...&
Margot Robbie was incredibly beautiful as
Sharon Tate.

Cape Fear (1962) Max Cady (Robert Mitchum) is a free man, after serving eight years in prison. He's seeking revenge on lawyer Sam Bowden (Gregory Peck), who testified in his trial he saw Cady assault a young woman in Baltimore. Cady stalks Bowden, his wife, and daughter Nancy but he's careful about it so as to not break the law. Cady poisons the family dog Marilyn with strychnine but there's no evidence to pinpoint him. Bowden enlists the help of police chief Dutton, but he can't arrest Cady for merely thinking about murder as it would be, in his words "a dictatorship." The law is helpless.

Differences in the original film and the Martin Scorsese 1991 remake. In the love making scene between Cady (Mitchum) and Diane Taylor, when she wakes up from her sleep she notices a evil gleam in Cady's eyes and she immediately tries to run away from him. Just when he's about to hurt her it cuts to the doors closing. It's left up to the audience's imagination to fill in what's going to happen next. In the Scorsese remake, it's a lot more graphic: Robert De Niro physically assaults Illeana Douglas and, in a sadistically memorable moment, bites out her cheek. In the Scorsese version, Bowden is Cady's defense attorney. In the 1962 original, Bowden is a witness who testifies against Cady.

Star Trek (2009)
So this film just turned Star Trek into a mass appeal, popcorn flick
that everyone could enjoy. I think it works...although the follow up
was pretty disappointing.

In a Lonely Place (1950) "Dix" Steele (Humphrey Bogart) is a Hollywood screenwriter who's a bullish perfectionist. He also has a very bad temper which has gotten him into trouble on many occasions. Mildred Atktinsson was pitching ideas from a novel at his Inglewood house when it was getting late so he hailed a taxi for her. It was the last time she was seen alive. Police are on the lookout for who killed Mildred and Steele is the prime suspect. But Sgt. Nikolai, Steele's close friend, doesn't think Steele is the guy but all the circumstantial evidence points to Steele. A memorable scene is Dix is having dinner with Nikolai and his wife Sylvia and he goes into intricate detail of how the murder could've taken place. The way Bogart's eyes light up as he tells the story: The killer used his bare hands to strangle her. He served in the military and had a martial arts background.

So Stevens came up with the idea to match Liston up against a legitimate heavyweight Thurman Wilson. Wilson lasted two rounds with Liston. Liston chose to join the mob when he became a free man because Frankie Carbo controlled the boxing business. If a fighter wanted a crack at the upper echelons of his weight class, Carbo was the man they had to do business with. It dispels the myth the Ali vs. Liston fight was fixed. Liston's corner slathered Monsel's solution on his gloves to blind Ali eyes in a desperate attempt to win the fight.
