The Prowler! This 80s gem of a slasher film is back on one of the cable channels. It is the ugly cousin of the My Bloody Valentine. It is bad in the way only movies from that era can be. Like a car accident you have to watch at least for the horrible clothes, hair, and music. And the Prowler is a bad "Mofo" as I read on one review. I'm not sure what happened to him in WWII but he certainly had a bad experience with a pitch fork.

120 miles S of the Pancake/Waffle line
Oklahoma Crude (1973) George C Scott, Faye Dunaway, Jack Palance

I caught this forgotten gem from the 70s on Sony channel. Faye Dunaway plays a woman who has a wildcat well on her land and has to fight off the oil companies trying to take it from her. It's a combination of drama, comedy and western with a little social commentary thrown in. Good flick - catch it if it's still running on the Sony channel.

The Circus. (1928). Charlie Chaplin. Oh HELL yeah, that's how it's done, friends and neighbors. Just...wow. Laughed my arse off the whole time, and caught a bit of that 'teary-eyed' pathos at the end, a signature Chaplin characteristic. See, you don't need a buncha butt/sex/fart/vomit/foul language (not that there's anything wrong with any of that) to make a great comedy. Hell, you don't even need sound. I'm just in AWE of the Little Tramp. Lordy, that's power, that's humor, that's everything you want in a movie.

Morgan - girl created with artificial DNA: thriller with interesting subtext about what makes a person human
Brotherhood - gritty urban British thriller, US viewers will need subtitles.
Sausage Party - typical Seth Rogan, only CGI. Food having sex. Sleazy, infantile, crude, often very funny. Adults only.

I look forward to your reviews! Thank you!

The only UK movie/show I've had to use the subtitles on was the Red Riding Trilogy. There were parts where the broad Yorkshire defeated me. I think I might have turned them on briefly in Hunger, too. The part where Michael Fassbender and the priest (his real name is escaping me right now) were talking in that heavy Norn accent at the prison was hard to understand. The rest of the movie wasn't too bad, but that scene... whew

Wasn't really watching it, but had the original A Star is Born going on the tv. And that opening scene, with Janet Gaynor and her granny...I was eating a cheeseburger, minding my own business, and suddenly I hear those lines, ...but don't you think for one minute it was easy. We BURNED in summer and we FROZE in winter, but WE KEPT RIGHT ON GOING and we didn't COMPLAIN...and I realize, holy CROW, that's the same damn movie that was on Jordy Verrill's tv in CREEPSHOW!

Ooo-EEE-ooo...

Holidays

It's a horror / comedy anthology on Netflix. Eight different vignettes centered around the holidays. The Halloween, Christmas, and New Years ones were the best. The Easter one was bizarro. The St. Patricks Day one was reminiscent of the Wicker Man in a way. I'd give it a rating of "meh".

The Verdict

Caught this on Netflix as well. Legal drama with Paul Newman. Excellent film. I'd never seen it until now but had always heard it was good. This gets a two paws up from SwiftDog.
