Bob Strauss @bscritic Big #oscar bait #Alzheimers drama #TheFather boasts outstanding performances from #anthonyhopkins and #OliviaColman. It can be eerie, disorientingly subjective and sometimes quite mean in very pleasing ways. So why does it play out entirely as you might expect it to? 5:42 PM · Feb 26, 2021·Twitter Web App

Bob Strauss @bscritic #TheUnitedStatesvsBillieHoliday swings wildly between awkward melodrama and affecting humanism. #AndraDay sees us through it all with a bold, brave, touching portrayal of a great talent and shattered soul. She sings as beautifully as the icon she's playing, too. 4:55 PM · Feb 26, 2021·Twitter Web App

Bob Strauss @bscritic Spider-guy #TomHolland is good as the real-life Army medic/junkie/bank robber subject of #Cherry, as is #CiaraBravo as his equally addicted, poignant wife. But the #RussoBrothers step back into reality from the #MCU is misshapen and uninvolving no matter how hard the cast tries. 4:19 PM · Feb 26, 2021·Twitter Web App

I also like Poitier's other screen collaborations with director Ralph Nelson. Poitier played an ex-Buffalo Soldier and James Garner an ex-scout in the 1966 Western "Duel at Diablo," the story of a growing conflict in Utah between U.S. cavalrymen and hostile Apaches. A photo of Poitier's character was used for the dust jacket of the actor's first autobiography, "This Life" (1980). Poitier and Sir Michael Caine starred in the 1975 thriller "The Wilby Conspiracy," which focused on apartheid in South Africa. Filmed in Kenya, the drama featured Poitier as a black activist and Caine as a British mining engineer forced to flee together from South African authorities. Nicol Williamson played a national security officer determined to track them down.

Bob Strauss @bscritic Put me in the "It's wicked fun" camp for #ICareALotNetflix. Loved how #RosamundPike and #DianneWiest got more distinctive notes to play than they usually do. Also thought it was exceptionally well-shot. Writer-director #JBlakeson knows what he's doing; nice, if nasty, to see. 5:53 PM · Feb 21, 2021·Twitter Web App

I like "In the Heat of the Night," particularly the early morning interrogation scene in which Virgil Tibbs (Poitier) explains that he was waiting at the Sparta, Mississippi train station for the "4:05 to Memphis." Police Chief Bill Gillespie (Oscar-winner Rod Steiger) doesn't believe him -- at first.

Poitier's skin color apparently mattered to a lot of people in the 1960s. Max Brooks, the son of Anne Bancroft and Mel Brooks, once talked about how his mother received hate mail after she embraced Poitier at the 1964 Oscars. As a result, the younger Brooks said, Bancroft became obsessed with the idea that someone might harm young Max. She even accepted fewer film roles to be with her child as much as possible.
