After tonight I'll be able to choose between two.

🎦 Angelica (2015) – This movie does not make women, men, or germs look particularly good. It does have nice furniture and waynescoating. If you were a fan of Ethan Allan furniture, you might enjoy this movie, if you can overlook the actors and the plot. Some of the china is nice too. Towards the end I was hoping she might be going to the lunatic asylum, but then it took an even stranger turn than any of us expected. Apparently the movie industry is filled with sick sick bastards.

🎦 Impuratus (2023) – I feel it's gonna be a mistake to watch, but the Prime Video page showed a signed that said "Pennsylvania Lunatic Asylum" and I love phrases like "lunatic", "escaped mental patient", and other Old-timey stuff like that, so I'm giving it a shot. If I ever wrote a movie the opening lines would go like this; "Hello dear, how was your day at the lunatic asylum?" "Fine, we caught two escaped mental patients. We found them smokin' crack and playing with a baby Jesus they stole from the Christmas nativity." - after watching - yeap, I was right. It was a mistake.

🎦 Inside (2023) – Anything with Willem Dafoe is worth trying. Later... a one man show. Better than I thought it was going to be once I realized how it was unfolding. Dafoe is quite the actor. Few could pull something like this off. 👍

🎦 Memento (2001) – A man juggles searching for his wife's murderer and keeping his short-term memory loss from being an obstacle.

🎦 Morning Show Mysteries: Mortal Mishaps (2018) - It's a Hallmark movie. Which means, it's like an after school special from the 1970s, overlaid with a dose of feminism. But, I'm working on my movie watching queue creation function, and the kinks are not yet worked out. Shows like this become a lot more enjoyable to watch if you occasionally repeat a line one of the characters says, in the voice of like Mr. T (look that up on wikipedia if your a yute [look that up on YouTube if you don't know what that is, try alternate spelling 'utes', as in "the two utes]) and add "motherfucker" with an "!" at he end. You can (at least I can) amuse myself for the entire movie this way. BTW... do this when your alone, if you watch the movie and do this with others around you will eventually get punched. PS - They should start an "amazing" ranking, and list how many times someone says "amazing" in a movie. Never watch a movie where that word is used. I lost count how many times it was used in this one.

🎦 My Week With Marilyn (2011) – The guy who wrote the book(s) that the movie was based on, Colin Clark, is the son of Kenneth Clark, you know, the historian that wrote Civilization. I used to own the paperback with that picture on the cover. It is truly a small world after all. 👍

🎦 The Paper Chase (1973) - I remember watching this as a young kid. A trip down memory lane.

🎦 The Passenger (2023) – Not a happy movie. The passenger (the yute himself) kind of annoyed me. A person that age (20 years old) should able to speak a sentence that is clear and to the point. Look out for the scene where me makes a call from the bathroom and ask yourself, "what should he have said", and compare it to what he did say. Young people need to remember that learning to speak clearly and accurately is important.

🎦 The Perfect Host (2011) – A career criminal finds himself on the doorstep of a consummate host preparing for a dinner party. As the wine flows and the evening progresses, we become deeply intertwined in the lives of these two men and discover just how deceiving appearances can be. 👍

🎦 The Vatican Tapes (2015) – Looks like I'm going on a The Exorcist inspired supernaturalistic double feature today. Why? I guess "the power of Christ compels me". 😃 Later... pretty much a redo of The Exorcist (1973) with explosions at the end that yutes that have grown up watching video games and superhero movies have come to expect. Overall, pretty much shit. Watch The Exorcist instead. It's still the best movie of it's kind ever made.

🎦 The Wolfpack (2015) – I could only make it a bit less than half way through this movie. The idea of a family of kids that never left the house was bizarre. Yet, the film never actually explained anything. I stopped watching, and looked them up on Wikipedia, and a NY Post article, and moved on. The documentary didn't hit on any aspect of what you really want to know.

🎦 The Passenger (1975)

🎦 Arbitrage (2012)

🎦 A Ghost Story for Christmas: Martin's Close (2019)

🎦 The Quatermass Experiment (2005) - A total WTF movie. Three Astronauts merge into one in space, return to earth, escape from the lab / hospital, randomly roams England, turns into a plant, and threaten to destroy the world. Lot's a big name British actors signed up for this. Apparently a redo of an older 1953 classic British Sci-Fi series that some of them grew up with and were happy to take part in. I see the original also influenced Doctor Who so you know it's total campy bull-shit.

🎦 Cafe Express (1981) – put on hold after about 20 minutes
