Mean Streets (1973)

It was the only Scorsese - De Niro movie that I haven't watched yet and didn't have in my library.

Since we don't have a generalistic Cinema container, here's some words of wisdom

Still have to see Mean Streets! Got it ages ago, started it once but talk is very tight and accented, and I tried watching it a night I was too tired.

Been to the cinema tuesday and watched Ant-Man, must say that after all the good review titles I've seen littered around social networks, I was expecting more! It's really "first movie" in a sense. It's ok, but it's really the movie you only want to go to see on the cheap cinema night.

Thanks for sharing the CG video.

For Mean Streets, you are right, it is accented, but that's the beauty of it as it catches the authenticity of New York's Little Italy neighborhood in the 1970s.

Scorsese's movies are always authentic but this one is more so since it is a reflection of his own observations as a young adult of Italian-American descent in his 30s living in Little Italy in the 70s.

De Niro's "Nu Yok" accent and delivery are spot on in this movie

I don't mean I didn't pick it back up because I don't like the accent, just was difficult to understand. Then very weird that if they are portraying Italians I can't understand them, but was ages ago, maybe now after two years living abroad it'll be easier.

Cold Comes The Night - Alice Eve and Bryan Cranston as a Polish Heisenberg, nothing amazing but a decent flick with strong performances.

I've been watching the Canadian drama series "Orphan Black" which follows what happens when Sarah, a troubled runnaway witnesses the suicide of a girl who is identical to her before stealing her identity. It revolves around clones, with the lead Tatianna Maslany playing several different characters with complex and diverse personalities. I'm enjoying it quite a lot so far, I recommend it!

Oh yess, The Following Season 2 has arrived on Amazon Prime. Just watched the first episode and it's good, I rate it an 8 like the best episodes of the first season.

This is gonna be my prime filler again.

Whiplash was REALLY good.

I've watched 16 episodes of that Gotham show in the last 2 days. Not sure why as it's not exactly amazing.

Why are all shows taking queues from Game of Thrones by the way? Woman in the last episode scooped out her own eye with a spoon...

you should be watching Battlestar Galactica

Watched a couple of Netflix randoms the other day:

Appleseed Alpha was a pretty cool animation, if not slightly readable. There may be more to it that I don't know about, but it's a universe I'd like to see more from.

And I watched Horns, starring Daniel Radcliffe (good) with an American accent (bad). Really fucking weird film, full of weird twists and turns. Had a permanent screw face for most of it, but I would say that I enjoyed it. Just can't think of anything out there really like it.

Whiplash was REALLY good.

Agreed, also probably has the best & most satisfying ending in any movie I've seen.

This is very cool for the cinema geeks and I think for those living in Vancouver... you guys there might know this already, or maybe not?
