Mona Lisa - Bob Hoskins as an ex con driving around a high priced whore for his mob boss and getting a little too close, causing problems.

Beau Travail - Nice looking but not my kind of movie. Would love to see a Russ Meyer/ Andy Sidaris inspired re make but that probably won't happen.


God's Little Acre - Uneven. The second half is pretty good but the first half is strange. Was always on Team Mary Ann but Ginger is pretty smoking hot in this one and gives a very good performance.


Humanite' - This was unique. Very slow but I never thought it was boring. It's about a detective investigating a childs rape and murder but it's not about that at all.


The Vampire Lovers - Perfect treadmill movie. Nothing wrong with it at all. Ingrid Pitt as a vampire using her wiles to seduce folks to the dark side. Had everything I was looking for. Peter Cushing co stars as, you guessed it, a vampire hunter.


A Man For All Seasons - The story of Thomas More. Loved it. Great performances all around.


The Street Fighter - Was a little disappointed. Expectations were probably a too high but Sonny Chiba was still fun to watch.


Anatomy of a Fall - Did she or didn't she? Loved it. Best movie of 2023? Nah, but it's very good.


The Favourite - Backstabbing for the favor of Queen Anne via Yorgos Lanthimos. It certainly had it's moments. I'm really becoming a fan of Lanthimos filmmaking style.


Re-watched Poor Things Still Love it.

The Limey 1999

Aftersun (2022)- Part of the 33rd HoF. This was a completely blind watch. It's a bit of a travelogue of a daughter and her father at a middle of the road resort in Eastern Europe. The relationship between the 2 is the heart of the movie and it's very good. Movies with child actors can be hit or miss but the young actress in this does a phenomenal job. Kind of a downer ending but well worth the trip.


Cannibal Terror (1980) - This was god awful but fun. A couple criminals escape with a hostage to a safe haven in the middle of nowhere. The thing with safe havens is if you decide to tie up and rape the owners daughter, the safety part of safe haven kind of goes out the window which is exactly what happens. The owner and father of the woman finds his daughter tied up then proceeds to feed the criminals to a local cannibal tribe. Just an awful movie but fun. All the cannibals look like they're from Jersey. It has several scenes that have **** all to do with the plot and some scenes go on forever but are so WTF that , I don't know, ya just go with it? Has some of your typical meat market gore. based on enjoyment not quality. It's really bad.

April, 2024 movies watched-

Mona Lisa (1986) Repeat Bob Hoskins when he was at his best was a beast.

Leave the World Behind (2023) + Entertaining disaster/social commentary but I didn't think it went far enough with either.

God's Little Acre (1958) A little quirky but I liked it.

The Secret in Their Eyes (2009) A favorite that I finally got wifey to watch.

The Little Foxes (1941) + Another favorite I got to show wifey.

2024 total-18

The Little Shop of Horrors (1960)

Soldiers of the supernatural Venkman, Stantz, and Spengler start a ghost-catching business in New York City. Where they find a portal through Dana Barrett’s refrigerator, which leads to the gates of the infernal abyss. Who ya gonna call?

May, 2024 movies watched-

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) Repeat Not quite a big favorite, but I like it a lot and it deserves it's classic status.

Lover Stalker Killer (2024) Netflix doc for folks who like true crime shows like 20/20.

The Bank Job (2008) - Solid British crime film.

Rise of the Footsoldier: Vengeance (2023) The 6th installment of the series is not my favorite but I love these movies for some strange reason.

There Will Be Blood (2007) Repeat I view it as one of the 10 greatest films ever made.

Aftersun (2022) + It took a while to hit me but it eventually did.

2024 Total-24

The Return of the Living Dead Part 2 - I wasn't really looking forward to watching a sequel to one of my favorite movies of the 80's and that's probably why it took me 35 years to get around to it. It was worth the wait. In fact, it could have waited longer. The highlight was James Karen doing James Karen other than that pretty forgettable zombie fare.



The Ladykillers - Now this was fun. A group of robbers, led by Alec Guinness in a great performance, attempt to use an little old lady as cover for their next heist. Thing don't go as planned in this comedy caper. Co-stars Herbert Lom and Peter Sellers

Unfrosted - Eh. Seinfeld throws a loot of jokes at ya but they miss more than they land.

Guys and Dolls - This was alright but I didn't like Brando at all. He felt really out of place in this musical from Mankiewicz. The opening number was about as good as it got.


Suddenly, Last Summer - Liz Taylor, Katherine Hepburn and Montgomery Clift trying to figure out what happened to Hepburns son when he died while on vacation with Taylor who has since been sent to an insane asylum. Worth it for Liz Taylor but Katherine Hepburn scares the hell out of me.


Rewatched There Will be Blood and Shoplifters
