Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Nothing this week particularly grabs me – maybe the one of the two Sho Kusugi Cannon Films movies.” Blaine says, “I would go for Stargate SG1 if you don’t have it already.”
The 1969 The Italian Job is a classic for a reason and has what is possibly the best cliffhanger ending in movie history.
If you have any doubts that Marilyn Monroe was indeed a fantastic actress, you should watch Misfits . I will say that, for me, it was a tough movie to get through. It’s a good movie, but it is not a fun movie like anything else she’s been in.
And I still wish this thing had a preview before you post a comment (:
The Pope of Greenwich Village is an overlooked film from the 80s, no masterpiece maybe, but with great acting and atmosphere. Everyone should see the 1925 Phantom of the Opera (but if you’re here you probably have).
The 1988 Patty Hearst film isn’t particularly good, but it features a solid central performance and does provide the basic facts (more or less) of the case.
And then there’s Santa Claus Conquers the Martians and Other Holiday Hallucinations. I almost saw the titular classic in the late 80s. I was staying with one sister and waiting for my other sister’s husband to pick me up on Christmas Eve so we could do an eight-hour drive to my parents’ place. He arrived halfway through. I doubt it’s much of a loss, but that fact that this film, which is as old as I am, remains a weird cultural touchstone suggests…. something.
I believe Wicked (Part One) does drop on digital on the 31st (all my theater nerd friends are pumped). I don’t know if I want to watch it or if I’ll just binge parts one and two together in 2025. I’ve read the book and seen the stage production, so I’m in no hurry to catch it.
RED was one of those movies that had no right to be that much fun. The entire cast is loving the hell out of what they’re doing.
