I really enjoy these old film posters you've been posting lately, especially the early John Wayne ones. Old movie posters is an art form of its own. It's also always fascinating (for me at least) to think about that he actually started his movie career as early as the late 1920s.

San Andreas

It came up on the telly. Would be a hypocrite not to admit that Gugino and Daddario as mother and daughter made me, erm.. feel an urge to watch this in the first place.

Not a bad disaster flick; great effects, and the stakes felt pretty real most of the time. The cast did good too IMO. However lots of tropes and clichées you've seen a gazillion times in films like this. The relation between the main characters..

Spoiler

(divorsed couple due to a tragedy, now they have to save their daughter together, yada yada)

..also felt tired.

But yeah:

Thanks....I love old posters too. Many of them are beautiful paintings. I like looking for one that is a good representation for the movie. I'm a big Wayne fan. I have most of his movies on DVD, and decided a week or so ago to start rewatching them again going pretty much in chronological order. I don't have any of the ones from the 20's where he had bit parts.....but several of the ones I've watched this week he was anywhere from the second to the seventh listed in the cast.

Haha yes, those late 20s one would probably be like "blink and you miss him." But it's quite impressing that in the 30s he started to get his name plastered on those beautiful posters. For me as a Scandinavian born in late 60s, my memory of John Wayne would be from the 40s and onward. Those would be the movies our public TV aired that I remember back in the days. Stagecoach might be the earliest one I've watched.

But I guess it's same thing with other old movie stars like Cary Grant. He did is first movies in early 30s, and became a star some decade later. But today most people talk about him because of that scene with an aeroplane in the late fifties.

The Firm

First time viewing. Thought it was pretty good. I hear the ending of the book is different, so I'm curious to read that one now.

Of his movies made before STAGECOACH.....the one I recommend the most that anyone see is THE BIG TRAIL. It's his first starring role, it's directed by Raoul Wash, and it's shot in some wonderful locations like in a giant redwood forest. Because it was made in 1930, there are some troubles with the sound.....but it really worth a look. Way more than any of his other films made in the 30's until STAGECOACH.
