The Out Of Towners (1970) Jack Lemon, Sandy Dennis
Hilarious dark comedy about a couple going to New York for the husband's job interview. Everything that can go wrong goes wrong.

HUD (1963) Paul Newman
This is an excellent movie and I'm not sure if there is a Paul Newman character that's a bigger a*hole that this one. It's a modern western (for 1963 - probably takes place in the late 50s) about a family with a cattle ranch. If your like me and complain that there are too many happy endings, you should love this one.

I watched The Green Mile on Netflix last night. I had forgotten how good this story was. This film is absolutely perfect and belongs in those rare group of movies like Jaws, ET, The Godfather and Shawshank Redemption in that it should never ever be remade. Every single Stephen King film that Frank Darabont has adapted is fantastic, and it's a pity his falling out with AMC over The Walking Dead seemed to have had a negative impact on his career. I would love to see him do further work in film and television.

GM and SR are great, but I also think that The Mist is a masterpiece as well.

We're on the same page as far as The Mist is concerned. Great movie, and an absolute kick-in-the-gut ending. I love it when horror films pull no punches.

Thomas Jane deserves more respect as an actor, brilliant actor.

Yesterday (2019)
Great concept. A struggling musician gets in an accident when the lights all over the earth goes out for 12 seconds and he awakens to a world were the Beatles and their music never existed. Some funny parts with him trying to remember the lyrics to a few of their songs... Hey Dude. Couple of cool twists near the end. Just okay casting, but the movie was only so-so... they could have done so much more with the concept.

One of my favorite classics. Better than the book, I think.

Just got watch "The 33", the other night on Hulu. Great success story! A good thing to watch and reflect on. Especially during these trying times. Very positive, and a movie well done I think. Great cast in this one.

I finally got around to watching Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It was 100% fresh manure. What an ignominious end to the saga.

Started watching Murder Manual, an anthology horror flick, eight segments at a aout 10 minutes each, got to segment three or four and switched it off, dull as dishwasher. Rewatched The Monster instead, started off as a drama about family dysfunction and morphs into a monster movie, decent, the two leads are good and it has a good original looking creature design.

Uncut Gems (2019): Wow, an actually good Adam Sandler movie. He certainly proves he's a great actor when he isn't doing half-assed comedies. Great movie, it was constantly hectic and a little hard to get into at first, but it really pays off. The last 30 minutes legitimately made me tense, not something that often happens when I watch movies, probably because I went into this almost blind. The main character is a stupid a**h*le, but the movie does a good job at making you root for him in the end. Unfortunately my internet kinda gave up halfway through so the resolution got mutilated and I had to watch a vaguely pixelated version of the movie, not bad enough to where I couldn't tell what was going on, but enough to be annoying. I'd really recommend it if you don't mind an overabundance of yelling, cursing, and slurs.

Watched Men In Black International, didn't think much of it to be honest. I guess if you liked the other three then you may like this one. Today we had a James Bond double bill, great fun.

The Manson Family vs. Jonestown (1979).
Directed by an overstimulated, asphyxiated Peter Bogdanovich (knotted his ascot too tight), this pseudo-documentary thriller stars Warren Oates as Coot Catdander, who, under orders from a still-incarcerated Charles Manson (a bearded Mike Nesmith from tv’s The Monkees), leads the remnants of the family’s women deep into the jungles of Guyana to retrieve the corpse of Jim Jones so that it might be resurrected in a Frankenstein-like experiment—to be conducted by satanic priestess/mad scientist Ruth Anne Moorehouse (a pre-Dallas Victoria Principle). Things go pretty smooth until Fred Williamson shows up as the leader of a band of badda$$ mercenaries ready to wipe out any and all cultists at the behest of a very frail but still intimidating John Carridine (as the same damn Dracula that fought Billy the Kid). Look for a very, very young Cory Feldman as Squeeky’s infant son Buttercup. I give this one four outta five cups of Flavoraide.

Chappie.
Much to long and cluttered. It was like Robocop meets Short Circuit.
