Just took in the first of the 14 Sherlock Holmes films - Hound of the Baskervilles (1939). This is from the Blu-ray box set I touched upon in my latest member journal post about my Arthur Conan Doyle collection. Really enjoyed it!

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm

Started off really good, maybe even better than the original, then it sorta fizzled out. Not without its moments and still a good watch, but you're better off watching Who Is America?.

Spoiler for funny spoiler:
The holocaust denial bit had me rollin.



Doctor Sleep

Obviously no Shining, but I dug it. Pretty engaging and full of awesome sequences which is no surprise from Flanagan. Biggest complaint is that a lot of the plot was pretty videogamified in that the protagonists basically level up to a final boss. Liked the more subtle cinematography/background objects callbacks to the Shining a lot.

The Lighthouse

Could be this generations The Shining. An absolute bonkers film that has ZERO shortcomings imo. Powerhouse acting, non-pretentious script, beautiful visuals, abstract imagery, and perfect pacing. I loved every second of it and can't wait to watch it again. So many amazing moments from both Dafoe and and Robby Patt who is becoming transcendent. Dafoe was born to play this role and Pattinson keeps pace just as well.

...Why'd ya spill yer beans?

speaking of which...



With a 10th or 11th watch the other night I think I've put the ice on any subsequent viewings The Shining.

Continuing my marathon of generational 80s and 90s films I failed to see in my youth, tonight's foray was the 1987 box office flop turned cult classic, The Monster Squad.

Starring a 12-year old cast and all of the Universal Pictures classic movie monsters, the film was rife with overacting and cheesy action one-liners, and even ended with a white rap anthem. It was everything I wanted in a film.

And as luck would have it, a documentary was recently produced exploring the cult revival of the movie, aptly titled, "Wolfman's Got Nards!"

Train To Busan (2016, Yeon Sang-ho)

It was our Halloween night feature. Surely the dumbest zombies ever created but one of the best of its kind that I've ever seen. It's really a morality tale at heart which makes all the silliness bearable. Recommended.

I'm looking forward to seeing this one in 2022 just to see what Berkley has in him with this kind of medium:

Peter Dinklage, Rainn Wilson, and RuPaul Board Aniventure’s ‘Hitpig’

I saw that in the theater and remember being a little disappointed. It's interesting to hear that it's now considered a cult classic.

Dead Ringer (1964, Paul Henreid)

Bette Davis plays both estranged twin sisters who confront each other after the death of the man who was coerced into marrying the gold digger. Trouble is, I didn't have much sympathy for the one who was supposedly in love with him. She's broke, in debt and jealous of the lifestyle that her dead one time beau gave her sister. So what? Shoot her? Ok. She and the all the scheming chisslers get their comeuppance, though. The way Henreid works it all out plays like a good Hitchcock tv ep. Worth a single viewing. Davis was a pip. TCM On Demand all month/WatchTCM app/website. til Nov. 16.
