I watch movies I haven't seen before and post about them
Pinned
Movies books for Christmas!
Halliwell's Hundred, Leonard Maltin and Roger Ebert guides were my first
Aiming for every film I watch in December (mostly first watches) to be from these books

THE ELECTRIC HOUSE (1922)
Buster Keaton finds himself in an electric house. Moving stairs. Moving chairs. Pool balls that rack themselves. Just to name a few
It's Keaton vs modernity
Guess who wins?
Love the set pieces

RED SCORPION (1988)
"Let's kick some ass"
Hell, ya. Dolph Lundgren plays a Soviet mercenary
Some decent explosions. Pacing challenges. But at one point, Dolph and M. Emmet Walsh are an action duo. Incredible
Maltin calls this film "bottom-of-the-barrel" and a BOMB

I MARRIED A WITCH (1942)
"Love is stronger than witchcraft"
Indeed
What a playful romantic comedy from René Clair
Frederic March has comic chops
Veronica Lake is puckish and alluring 😍
"...tickles the tounge in the best champagne manner" - Leslie Halliwell

THE SCARECROW (1920)
Yes, eventually Keaton becomes a scarecrow
He is on the run almost all movie
There's a really cool contraption made of ropes that helps pass food at the dinner table
A fun, inventive 20 mins

HEARTLAND (1979)
LB reviews filled with comments about Kelly Reichardt must've watched this a lot
I can see it. Pioneer/ranch life. Montana
A strong, early Conchata Ferrell role
"A big, robust, joyous movie about people who make other movie heroes look tentative"

WOODY GUTHRIE: HARD TRAVELIN' (1984)
Sweet doc about the Oklahoma Cowboy himself
Arlo Guthrie is our guide through the various phases of his father's life
A life told in pictures, interviews, and songs
Left me with a nice, warm feeling

Is it restoration or revisionism? A good conversation to have
See it for yourself
A bold transfer. It challenged my views on this hypnotic film. Maybe enhanced them

EYES WIDE SHUT (1999)
*New Criterion BR
Holy grain! A bit off-putting at first. But I adusted
I've seen the film maybe 9 times now. You get used to things looking a certain way
"Looks like life, huh", says Milich
This new transfer, for me, felt closer to a dream

GUNN (1967)
Blake Edwards brings his TV creation to the big screen
I knew the Mancini music. Never saw the show
Didn't know Craig Stevens was a no rizz Brylcreemed square
But...won me over
Gunn stuck between 50s mobs and 60s mods
Violent and corrosive movie in its own hepcat way

POODLE SPRINGS (1998)
Unfinished Marlowe novel. Finished by Robert B. Parker. Adapted for TV by Tom Stoppard RIP
Quaint mystery. Doesn't aspire for much. Stays within itself
James Caan plays a pretty good Marlowe. A world weariness with a mischievous twinkle in his eye

HELEN OF TROY (1956)
Greatest hits of that ancient Trojan War thing
Not sure of the Paris-Helen chemistry here
Ends on an abrupt note
Robert Wise can put a movie together
Some decent spectacle
I guess we'll see what Nolan does
A Scorsese "guilty pleasure" pick

THE CRIMINAL CODE (1931)
The Hawks-ian codes keep this film engaging
There are codes of law and codes among men in prison
Also, lots of stuff about systemic corruption
Karloff is menacing. Walter Huston is a top tier cigar chomper

SEAL ISLAND (1948)
One of those Disney nature documentaries
Won an Oscar
Actually, pretty cool. Spent a year filming
Those seals look nasty when they roar. I'm not messing with 'em

THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK (1997)
* Maybe...viewing six?
Babysitting family kids
One kid..."that was crazy"
Bloodier and more cynical than its predecessor
I think this movie exists for the set pieces. Some good ones, at that

SHOOTING FULL METAL JACKET (1987)
The best version? of Vivian Kubrick's behind-the-scenes footage
Unfinished work. Re-edited by others into this 20 min work
We get a few insights into SK's process
Just makes me want to revisit FMJ again

DARK OF THE SUN (1968)
"It’s a truly sadistic movie, but it should be seen" - Scorsese
Rod Taylor and Jim Brown star
Mercenaries search for uncut diamonds in the Congo
Many brutal and action-packed scenes
But what sticks: how the mission reveals dark hearts
And there's a chainsaw fight!

PLUNDER ROAD (1957)
Crackerjack heist film. Gold on a train
Brilliant idea for robbery at the beginning. The rest is all about getting away
Tension-filled. Complicated feelings. Sometimes I wanted them to get caught. Sometimes I wanted them to be free
72 mins. No fat

THE FANTASTIC 4: FIRST STEPS (2025)
Galactus eats planets like I eat pizza. I like any toppings. Anchovies, pineapple. All good
This film is closer to my own sensibilities about this quartet. I like the 60s kitsch. We get some of the cosmic ectoplasm
I'm hungry for pizza now

A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES (2014)
Finally caught up with this
I like the Scudder books. Neeson does a good Scudder
I like what Scott Frank does with the material. Especially how he incorporates the Scudder backstory
Unpretentious crime tale with a good, hard-boiled edge

THE FRONT RUNNER (2018)
Another Jason Reitman film about the precipice of change (like SATURDAY NIGHT)
Gary Hart foolishly thinks what's private is not public
Not anymore 🤣
Themes stated are on-the-nose. Including a meet-cute over a Boston song. But Boston transcends all...
