I am interested in knowing what movies you have watched and what you enjoyed or not. So please send me an email at scinema@earthlink.net if you'd like to share. Here's what I watched last week:
Enjoyed:
Country Music "Hard Times" (2019)
Country Music "The Hillbilly Shakespeare" (2019)
Mildly enjoyed:
IN HARM'S WAY (1965) - For two hours, this is a solid World War II drama with a refreshing look at non-action events. Then it becomes a heavy melodrama and the final battle featuring minature ships and fireworks is rather poor.
Midsomer Murders "The Black Book" (2009)
Did not enjoy:
DECEPTION (2003) - I'll watch just about anything featuring Dina Meyer, and for a twisty suspense film, this wasn't bad - but it wasn't good enough to prevent me from fast-forwarding through. Anna Silk and Rachelle Lefevre also put in welcome appearances.
THE TOUCH OF SATAN (1971)
PENITENTIARY III (1987)
NINJA PHANTOM HEROES (1987)
THE DEVESTATOR (1986)
UNA MARIPOSA EN LA NOCHE, aka A BUTTERFLY IN THE NIGHT (1976)
SHAOLIN TEMPLE, aka SEVEN SPIRIT PAGODA (1976) - It is a pleasure to watch Hsu Feng, but in better movies.
BABY LOVE (1969) - The trailer for this movie was so much better than the film.
ALL FALL DOWN (1962)
KAHIL GIBRAN'S THE PROPHET (2014)
YOUR CHEATIN' HEART (The Hank Williams Story) (1964)
GREEN DOLPHIN STREET (1947)
**********************************************************************
David Deal enjoyed:
THE WHISTLER (44) - Despondent over the death of his wife, Richard Dix puts out a contract on his own life. When his wife is found alive, Dix must race to stop his murderer. William Castle's implausible thriller puts former big-time star Dix thru the paces but the acting honors must go to J. Carrol Naish as the killer who terrorizes his prey before pouncing as an intellectual, psychological experiment. The first of a series of eight programmers based on the popular radio program. Dix starred in all as different characters.
DR. CYCLOPS (40) - The Blu-ray looks fabulous.
THE RED QUEEN KILLS SEVEN TIMES (72)
THE PURPLE MASK (55) - Another take on the Scarlet Pimpernel with Tony Curtis; light, colorful and fun enough.
LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE (19)
THE GAY DIVORCEE (34)
Mildly Enjoyed
BATTLE FOR THE LOST PLANET (86) - Matt Mitler is an adventurer who steals a secret weapons tape and then steals a space shuttle to escape. Stuck in space, he witnesses an attack on Earth, and years later, is finally able to land on our post-apocalyptic planet. An early Brett Piper no-budget sci-fi production features stop-motion animation, monstrous-looking aliens, and plenty of miniature work.
THE DEFILERS (65)
SUBMARINE ALERT (43)
********************************************************************
Charles Gilbert watched:
THE SWORD AND THE CROSS (1958) Yvonne de Carlo plays Jewish harlot Mary Magdalene who falls in love with Roman tribune Gaius Marcellus (Jorge Mistral), doubletiming as mistress to Hebrew Hamen (Massimo Serato). The story assumes she is the same Mary that was sister to Martha (Rosanna Podesta) and brother Lazarus (Terence Hill) whom Jesus raised from the dead. But her home town of Magdala vs. Bethany distinguishes her and "It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment" who was from Bethany. I think they are two different Marys, making the storyline invalid.
RED SUN (1971) Trainrobbers (Charles Bronson, Alain Delon et. al) incur the wrath of a Japanese entourage conducting a stately present to POTUS in the form of a gold sword. The Frenchman steals it, doublecrosses his pal, thereby producing a tentative Oxidental-Oriental alliance to recover the gift. Along the way they pickup "working girl" Ursula Andress. They're all fighting the Commanches in the end.
Cannonball 1958 B&W television episode:
'Shock'. Canadian truckers Mike Malone (Paul Birch) and Jerry Austin (William Campbell) pick up a passenger who has been given a job as a parts man for their company C&A Transport. He has a drinking problem and doesn't know the first thing mechanically. But, it turns out at a traffic accident, and to everyone's surprise, he demonstrates his mettle as a physician. Directed by Leslie Selander.
