5 things I’ve seen recently!

I’ll Be Gone in the Dark – Outstanding, if not grim and sad, miniseries about one woman’s obsession with finding the Golden State Killer.

Halloween II – What a dreadful sequel. Such a waste of Jamie Lee and Don Pleasence. Boring, hardly any gore. Just dumb all the way around.

Road House – Man this movie is sooo stupid. I love it. Podcast coming soon!

Ball of Fire – Well that was fun! Nice screwball comedy from Howard Hawks starring one of my faves, Barbara Stanwyck. Gary Cooper might have been a bit miscast but the snappy banter and great pace made this one a treasure.

Boston Strangler – Pretty good crime procedural. Not too sure why they chose the washed out, muted, boring colour palate. And the ending is quite muddled. But it was good enough for me, and my cold-rattled brain, to enjoy.

Apocalypse ’45 – Solid end of WWII documentary. Lots of great, awful footage.
