Slight change of pace, looking for something to watch for an hour, spotted a short doco on Netflix titled "being poor in the wealthiest country in the world" which was about working poor in the USA. Quite interesting and well done.

It was made by some French company and they kept comparing conditions to those in Europe. Things like people who missed 1 rent payment by a couple of days being forcibly evicted within weeks and then being black marked for life on getting another rental.

Bunch of people living in their cars in So Cal on a vacant lot. The owner didn't charge for parking there and even had a fence around it and a gate that was locked at night for their safety. Some volunteers and built an outdoor communal kitchen area for them. Most of these people had jobs, but didn't earn enough to afford rent. One woman had joined a Gym to get access to a shower.

Then there was The Appalachians, where sonething like 50% of the people relied on food stamps to eat. (The food stamps are in the form of a cashless debit card that can be used at supermarkets which the Government puts money on ever month)

Some of the scenery was familiar, hordes of people "camping" along naturestrips or footpaths, I'd seen that in Santa Monica.

Not best for me but it's a ripper. Might be the first film you have listed that I like.

I was being a bit facetious, there'd be more than one - I like the first Die Hard, too - but The Equalizer isn't on list.

If you haven't seen it, the first one is really good. Very slow burn. The second is pretty good.

Commando. 85 flick starring Arnie

Fun fact, the bad guy in the movie with the chainmail singlet is an Aussie actor named Vernon Wells.

The house I moved into in Camberwell in 86 had been previously occupied by Wells, I got one of his royalty cheques in the mail. It wasn't enough to buy a packet of smokes in 1986 so I just kept it as a souvenir.

Watched a doco on Oppenheimer on Prime last night. It was 80 minutes, the movie was 3 hours so I watched the Doco. Also made last year, it was pretty good. Focused on the person rather than the Manhattan project. I enjoyed it.

Saturday was a good day for films on TV. Firstly, The Ipcress File on SBS World Movies, then later that night, For a Fistful of Dollars on Gem. Both rippers!

I was very happy to see a new Cohen Brothers film come out as I love pretty much everything they do. The Beast sounds most interesting, will try and remember it.

Last night: Dirty Harry. Was only going to watch a bit before turning off but ended up watching all of it, again.

Watched Equaliser 3 last night. Not bad, similar in vibe to the first one.

Tonight, a blast from the past. Bloodsport. Bit of JCVD action when he was still good.

Last night I watched Stargate. The original movie that spawned several long running TV spin offs. The Star was The Computer wore tennis shoes/ole Jack Burton/Snake Plisskin himself. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Kurt Russell did some bloody good movies in the late 80's through 90's.
