May I point you to Salvador (Stone) and Sorcerer(Friedkin), even if these are not particulary slow

I thought his gun handling was not bad by Hollywood standards. He runs out of bullets, changes magazine, reloads his shotgun. Very few bystanders seem to get shot in the hail of gunfire shot in crowds or through fountains. Granted his many enemies line up to take their turn in classic Bruce Lee style.
I would agree with him that whilst Austrian varietals are functional and durable, the classic German vintages are superior.

Plus he uses a Glock 17 Gen 4 - an ace assassin would know thats the worst variant of an otherwise superlative pistol.

Z for Zacharia - a surprisingly effective film, only three actors, some haunting music and beautifuly scenery. Post Nuclear-apocalypse rural survivor Ann lives alone in a valley, growing food and surviving. Then she meets John....
The ending was strange and unfullfilling, and where did the dog go ? But a pretty good film none the less 7.5/10

I very rarely watch films nowadays, I prefer documentaries.

Films such as Goodfellas, Dog Day Afternoon, and Apocalypse Now are as good as documentaries.
Don't forget Borat.

Casino.
41 hours of Joe Pesci swearing and DeNiro looking menacing. The story could have been told in 20 minutes. Not Scorcese's best work.
Plot summary - Joe Pesci has tourettes and small man syndrome is manifesting itself in extreme bouts of violence. DeNiro is hard, but clever too. Because he's clever the mafia ask him to run a casino for them. However, DeNiro's mate Pesci ruins it with his loose cannon ways.
5/10.

Last night I watched something on Netflix that was so bad I had to go back this morning to remember what it was called - Save Me.
A recently separated guy meets a stranger who asks him for help in escaping an abusive boyfriend, but amazingly not everything is as it seems.
2/10, and it only gets a 2 as Lysette Anthony gets naked every ten minutes.

The inexplicably titled Man Up - a romcom fatally flawed from the outset by having Simon Pegg as its main man. Nothing against the feller - a perfectly serviceable actor, and amusing on occasion, but George Clooney he ain't. Other than that, a mixed bag. Rather clunky - like its been written by someone who went to a screenwriting course and is following the basic structural game plan - inciting incident, conflict & tension, happy resolution, all that - but it all unfolds amiably enough, and has just enough decent one-liners to keep it afloat. 7/10? I'm feeling generous...

But that is a documentary surely?
