Watched Till Death with Megan Fox.

Her husband chains himself to her and then kills himself, which is not a surprise or plot twist.

Like a ...6.5 out of 10.

Started out really good, it was a pretty new plot idea, and a pretty good one.

But, it just dissolved into a pretty typical cat and mouse movie.

Still, I give it some points for originality.

It's so hard to do anything new these days.

Also saw this week Palm Beach.

Very funny movie. Revealing anything about that movie would be giving it away.

Like a 8.5 out of 10. Maybe the best comedy I've seen since the pandemic, but I'd have to think about it. Not that original, but well done and good chemistry with the actors.

Venom (2018)

This movie was well done, and flowed well. The action scenes seemed to be will thought out. When the CGI is used in scenes, it wasn't top over the top.

*** of *****

The Junkman
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084184...nm_flmg_act_34

The stuntman flick equivalent to last century porn where there is a whole bunch of action of what they are about linked together by a loose story. As is, about 43 minutes, I eventually got bored with it and upped the speed to get through it. Even when it looked like the car chases were over and I came back down to normal speed, it was just more chases. For all the scenes of Pitts aircraft attacking cars, I am more impressed with Death Race 2000 with its cockpit shot of David C. driving, looking up as he is being explosion straddled.

To The Junkman, say a 4.5.

Saturday night we watched Dark Waters, a movie inspired by a true story of a corporate lawyer challenging Dupont for its practices of dumping contaminated waste into public water supplies.

Good one, not sugarcoated. Some of the real people involved in the events have cameo parts in the movie.

Mysterious Museum
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228620...nm_flmg_act_66


It's a kids flick but it is decently well done and how often have we've seen the story of those of the present drawn to the past or so thru magic (ie, Army of Darkness). Given that, can't really say the story is corny. Anyhow, the story is a little bit more teen than the preteen the posters indicate. A nice getaway, no puns intended, with a terrific looking villain, say a 7.3.

Inspector George Gently: Bomber Pilot
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1202173/?ref_=ttep_ep3


Unlike the previous, this one was easier to follow and moved right along though figuring out the whodunit before it is revealed is still a mystery to me in this series. Say a 7.4.

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965) - Stone cold masterpiece. Everything about it was remarkable.

L'Avventura (1960) - Hypnotic. Monica Vitti was a goddess.

The Valachi Papers
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068341/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1


Rather very boring. Since it is in the present with the hero telling of the past in state evidence and the why he is there having already been established, one really has nothing to glean from the history. So I watched the pretty pictures at higher speed. Say a 2.5.

Deep Red
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073582/?ref_=nm_knf_t2


I know I have seen this flick before and probably reviewed it, but I must have been out of it at that time to recall that I had seen it. Anyhow, pretty good horror flick, focusing more photography, music, moving the plot around, and direction than just slashing special effects......even if it was the 22 minute shorter version. Say a 7.0.
