Writer-director Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi is nominated for four Oscars and has earned a fortune ($1,311,425,821 by 28 January 2018) but it is a letdown and certainly comes complete with a full cargo […]

Touchez Pas au Grisbi ***** (1954, Jean Gabin, Jeanne Moreau, Lino Ventura, Gaby Basset, Daniel Cauchy, René Dary, Dora Doll, Paul Frankeur) – Classic Movie Review 5007
A sad and smokey bitter-sweet Gallic atmosphere of tired desperation pervades co-writer/ director Jacques Becker’s 1954 wry classic French noir gangster crime thriller. A movie based on Albert Simonin’s novel was always going to be good, […]
