FILM REVIEW

Room 2c film By David King

The Cincinnati Kid (1965) Poker games don’t come bigger than when the ‘Big Man’ comes to town. The Kid (Steve McQueen) wants to take on the master (Edward G. Robinson) in a no-limits card game to enhance his already growing reputation, but trouble is lurking around every corner. Blackmail and match-fixing, along with wanton women, lead us to one of the most suspenseful endings to a film I have ever seen.

Room 2c film By dpmotions

Westworld (1973) Nothing is as attractive as a serious, quiet type; or is it? Yul Brynner plays the role of a rogue and murderous android in a vast, futuristic, amusement park. Enjoy the exciting pacing of this entertaining and gently thought-provoking classic. Admire the sexiest gait seen on a male actor in film history, as city-resident thrill-seekers run for their lives through ancient Roman gardens, halls of heraldry and the Wild West... This movie works on all levels.
